All the basic effects are available.
The effects are editable via knobs, buttons, and noon with a freeware zindows available on the net.
The case is very sturdy metal.
Now they are in the GT10 ...
Connectors: Jack, XLR, noon. Headphone jack.
220V external power.
UTILIZATION
The tuner mute sound output, which is handy. Compared to the user who observes a problem to identify the low notes, I think the problem comes from the bass, which just comes out a sound vague. The weak point of the 5 strings, so so bad ... With a Stingray, I do not have that problem. Even given BEA D.
The doc is also available in French on the web site on classical references.
The effects are callable via patches, each patch of 4 effects are directly controllable by the switches of the pedal (you can choose) and two others by a foot to 2 additional switches.
Possibility of linking a dozen effects ...
The general config is a little clutter because everything is concentrated in a small space, but we made it. The controls are very intuitive by potentiometers. More intuitive freeware setup "GT-6BFxFloorBoard" whose interface is neither more nor less than the standard Boss pedals. One feels immediately at ease.
Editing sounds is easy, but as we have access to a multitude of parameters, it takes time.
A good method is to first get a clear idea of the sounds you want to build, then find sounds "basic" simple, copy the patch bank users, and to use base for other sounds. Guaranteed time saving.
SOUND QUALITY
Attention effects should always be slightly assayed. At low volume they tend to overdose, and repeat the spray is ensured.
The effects are simply amazing turns, as always with Boss. Good thing I'm heavy user.
The distos are numerous, but difficult to measure correctly.
The reverb is clear.
I have a little trouble with the compressor, but it does its job.
The sound is very clean. Truly a treat.
I find however that the sound is a bit cold cons. For example, a Hartke 3500, I recommend putting at least 50% of channel lamp.
I mainly use a Stingray 2EQ 1990, and it works wonders with this pedal. Epiphone Thunderbirds are doing well too.
My favorite channel:
- Compressor
- Disto
- Flanger
- Chorus
- Reverb
- Noise gate.
Modeling amps and speakers is bluffing. Thus we can have a sound "Klass" at home or connect direct sound, and even in the studio, adjusting the EQ of the amp in neutral, it has all the time virtually the same sound, which is very practice. Especially in concert, more DIY and roughly with the pedals that are tearing their hair sound makers. One branch, and that's it! Mégacool!
OVERALL OPINION
2 years.
Before I was using a CE-1 and BF-2 Boss from home. Well, but there was breath. And opportunities were limited. I bought this pedal for its price (200 €) used, and user reviews. A small trial was enough to convince me.
Robust, simple to use, clean sound, good connections ...
From Matoss pro. The price of the occasion is a very good deal!
With experience I will take a more modern version (eg with USB connectivity ...)
Like any good hardware, it highlights both faults as qualities of things that are above banche: bass, amp, and ... bass player!
