Winter NAMM 2012 News
While the interface is great, and it's easy to switch between effects and to adjust them with the expression pedal, I really do not think that this pedal is worth it for anybody except maybe a beginner who has no effects. Some people just play for the fun of it, and aren't that worried about tone, but for anybody who takes tone remotely seriousl...
My favorite effect on this unit was the ring modulator. I had never owned one or used one before so it was a lot of fun when I got this unit. Since then I have sold this unit and bought a host of high end effects to replace it including the MoogerFooger Ring Mod which is much better in the way sound quality. Mainly though, this was a great un...
It's once again a marketing thing. They packed the effects they developed in the last 10 years in a nice-looking silver foot board that you'll probably sell again six months later to buy a GT20.
Cons: Weight! Size (width). If Boss develops a multi-effect footboard with the same sound quality but half as heavy and wide, I'll give them an award. 8/10 because it's too heavy, too wide and a bit too expensive.
It sounds cheap. Many other manufacturers offer much better products. If you want a Boss pedal you'll have to start at the GT10 and move upwards, otherwise it's not worth it.
I wouldn't buy it again, not even for a couple of bucks!
I used it 2-3 years and just sold it a few days ago. The unit is alright and, of course, the sound also depends on the amp you're using. It will produce powerful sounds with a decent tube amp. It sounds better with high gain sounds than with clean or crunch sounds. I recommend you to use it in manual mode in order to control the eff...
We've been using it for about a month, and the effects are really amazing. I like the chorus knob, separate from the other effects, and the type variation in the distortion. As said before, the only thing I don't like about the pedal is the Auto Riff. I have tried the Boss ME-50 and ME-20 before this, as well as the Digitech RP series, and I tho...
Had this unit for about 2 years now...I like the portability of it, the amount of effects and truly, the overall quality of models/effects are great for such a compact package. You could just take this to a gig and hook it up to the mixing board. Not the greatest and most real deal for dynamics, but it would work as a great backup or for low lev...
- been using it for 2 years - clearly designed for live applications, built like a tank. - a cool all-in-one multifx, cheap nowadays
