- What are the effects or types of effects available?
see data sheet of Audiofanzine.
- What technology is used? (Analog, digital, tube ...)
Crank digital analog / digital / analog 24-bit 44.1 kHz (CD quality knowing that it is 44.1 kHz 16 bit. Here deteriorates much less a sound recording in CD quality)
- Are they edited? Via an editor Mac / PC?
Contrary to what was said, the user presets are fully editable with a PC using the I / O MIDI with this freeware: http://gtx.tinfoilmusic.net/download.html
The use becomes a breeze: you can access in a nod to the options for each effect and strings in any order by dragging and dropping. ausi you can save your presets on your pc etc. ...
- What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
see data sheet of Audiofanzine.
Note: headphone to play without disturbing anyone.
- Is this a rack or rack-mount model?
It's a pedal.
UTILIZATION
- The general configuration is it simple?
Is lit, choose a preset and go.
- Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?
Without the software, it will take time to master the beast. Really not simple at the beginning
With the software is extremely simple!
- The manual is clear and sufficient?
English manual available in pdf but the site of FR boss. Full but not really useful.
I put 9.5 because to really tweak everything, if set to 2 seconds with the software, directly from the pedal is not won. However, the factory settings are quite usable as is.
* In this regard, special note for the excellent preset "Underground" is the sound of bass on Deeper Underground Jamiroquai.
SOUND QUALITY
The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?
+: Linear effects (chorus, flanger, delay, reverb) great.
-: For cons, non-linear effects are somewhat less practical: compressors and distos ask you some setup time to actually give something convaicant. it's still usable but it will look a little sting or the settings in the factory presets. The amp models are well made and practical to pass through a PA system. If you have a good amp, you can disable them.
Be careful not to get too level effects to the risk of saturating the output.
- Which instruments do you use?
bass, electric guitar and a guitar électroaccoustique.
+ a strength in so you can use this pedal for a guitar. chorus delay flanger effects etc ... distos and are quite usable with an electric guitar. Of course, in this context, some effects such as défretter will do nothing.
- Which ones you prefer, you hate?
+: 2x2 Chorus, the enhancer (great for the ringing slap), the stereo delay, the reverbs, the defretter (his fretless) and synth bass.
-: The effect Auto-slap is fun if you want to play disco, otherwise it is not very useful. At least to try out sounds really twisted, ring mod effect is useless.
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
Since a year and a half.
- What is so special that you like most and least?
+: The next all-in-1. All effects can think of for a bass or guitar, from the best boss pedals.
+: The ability to chain effects in any order, which is usually the major weakness of multi-effects pedals from small simple.
+: All this for a emcombrement minimal (as in concert again, it is a significant point).
-: To quibble, the effect of ring-mod not pretty.
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Zoom pedals and a Pod. Ridiculous next to the GT-6B but not the same price range either.
- How would you rate the quality / price?
To date, the most complete for this award.
