I bought this for my multi-effects bass a year of starting to play. The only effect I had bought previously was a distortion pedal. The GT6B has many possibilities, but a lot of flaws too, and it is on its flaws I'll start. Just for information, I play a Washburn with a Roland DB-700 amp which I love the color.
- Digital sampling is by no means clear: in bypass, the sound is very depleted. The EQ (not too ergonomic ..) would theoretically fill the defect when playing on the pedal, but it is clear that the sound has already killed at the entrance.
- The Wah is horribly broken in the low, and thus a huge boost does not catch up instantly.
- EQ, dynamics processors and all that is used to sculpt the sound clean (modelers Preamp ..) sounds low range.
- The pitchbend induced a large delay when playing quite annoying, however I do not know which induce it. I do not know if it's one in particular or not, but it really bothers me when I play.

I kept this pedal because after all the concerts she has undergone (and despite his own strength to Boss), it is not worth much used. It serves me well when I need to sound very clever hack, and some effects Disto / Phasing it can be conclusive. However it is far from the expected diversity of a multi-effects processor at that price .. Basically I use it only for large effects, and if I switch DAP-Audio when I play around in clean (true bypass, in fact ..).

I do not regret this purchase because it allowed me to do many things that bass players rarely make: D: D: D But I should invest in some good bases (Fuzz, Flanger, Phasing ... ) before I pay it because it's not good to train his ear to the effects.

As for superflux many complain, I do not agree: since this is just a pedal that is effective (in my opinion) than for larger sounds (though grimey in general) all the effects completely twisted and useless are welcome ...
