    Boss GT-10Published on 01/17/15 at 21:06
    As an "on the floor" unit, this thing is tough to beat unless you want to spend about $1500. Before you even start trying to read the manual, just do yourself a favor and internet search "Boss GT-10 Advanced Driver (Name the kind of computer you have)" and then internet search "Boss GT-10 Editing Software." Make sure to go to the dropdown menus for help, manuals, whatever and save all the pdf's locally; you'll want them later.

    The sounds out of this thing straight out of the box are Very good, save the problem every multi-effects unit suffers from: from one patch, bank, etc., to the next, the output levels don't match. This is where the software comes in. Yes, you CAN manually edit …

    The sounds out of this thing straight out of the box are Very good, save the problem every multi-effects unit suffers from: from one patch, bank, etc., to the next, the output levels don't match. This is where the software comes in. Yes, you CAN manually edit each patch through the menus and buttons on the unit, but it is a TON easier to do it with the software and then save the stuff to a hard-drive, thumbdrive, papyrus on the way out.

    The note about S/N ratio and dynamic range is Spot On. The main reason I settled on this particular unit was the Roland / Boss Chorus; if it was good enough for Alex in the early days, it's good enough for me now. Anything claiming over 100 db Dynamic Range is a little out of my price range.

    The BOSS GT-10 Is The Best Guitar Pedal

    Boss GT-10Published on 01/13/15 at 17:17
    The BOSS GT-10is the best guitar pedal because it has the best dynamic range compared to other guitar multi effects pedals, lots of effects (including: flanger, chorus, delays, reverbs, amp models, speaker models, mic models, compressor/limiter, tremelo, uni-vibe, rotary, pitch shifter, transpose, 10-band graphic eq, parametric eq, 8-assigns (allowing you to control up to 8 custom setting changes assigned to the control pedals), full stereo sound, and much more all at a low price (compared to buying all of those effects individually).

    SOUND QUALITY

    But why insist to put modeling amp in multi-effects? The sound is so bad.
    I totally agree with what has been said, the sounds are very synthetic. Even trying lots of different settings? the sound is typical transistor 2 balls. Better buy a good amp (even transistor) connect a small multi effects with delay reverb chorus noise gate and acousitque guitar, use the distortion of the amp or MT2 Boss with an equalizer and we get a much better sound for 2 times cheaper. And 2 times lighter. <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt="sad" /><img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt="mrgreen" />

    Good at this price it is not great but the effects are still very good ...
    I do not really use the preamp, but the sounds are really ugly distortion and digital sound

    Features, I do not dwell on it, there's a card manufacturer.

    UTILIZATION

    Overall, the use of this multi is simple. You can easily create a sound from scratch by adding effects that are specifically desired.
    For basic use, it is clear.
    As soon as you want to push a little (because EVERYTHING is possible!), You have to dig a little. Very simple example, I wanted the Wah pedal go from 0 to 10 in the full stroke of the pedal and not 0 to 100. I looked for a little while.
    In fact, it is both its quality and defect that we can do absolutely everything ... and unfortunately, the manual is fairly general, although for the first grip. As soon as we want to push a little, need to get…

    In fact, it is both its quality and defect that we can do absolutely everything ... and unfortunately, the manual is fairly general, although for the first grip. As soon as we want to push a little, need to get by alone.

    SOUND QUALITY

    In terms of sound quality, frankly, everything is modulations without breaking bricks, very fine, really. We arrive at boning frankly sounds good.
    As for distortion / saturation, then on the other hand, I will be more critical. Sure it may not require a pedal 400 € which is all to do everything perfectly ... but the distortion, they are not really top of all, it is very ... draft.

    I tested this pedal on a neutral amp, clean sounds and modulations are between good and correct the distorted sounds are between bad and correct. I tested with an Ibanez RG1570 and ESP Horizon.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I since I started using the guitar almost (4-5 years) but much less today I dedicated my gear to suit my needs. And this is where the strength of this multi for a beginner, it helps to explore ALL (almost) without snapping thousands of € uros in the gear. For € 400, you have access to almost everything that exists. This exploration can then move more easily to more expensive gear more accurate, better to confirm his style of play to what we love.

    The quality / price ratio is great for a beginner or someone who wants to try something else.

    With experience, I dedicated my gear, I'm using almost over but it has been a valuable ally to me and for that, I do not regret the purchase.

    - 1 output select button: to set the machine for the type of connection
    - 1 button system: To set global settings, practice not to take all the settings in your patches once on stage. Each site has its sound, you can select one of three Equalizer corresponding to three "places"
    - 1 button creation and editing sound: The EZ Tone boss system, convenient to draft a sound, but you still need to reach into the machine to get a nice result. However, the basic result is "safe" to the effects and remains largely convincing for a beginner.
    - 4 buttons parameter to adjust what appears on the screen (on the main page of a preset: a + equalizer output level)
    - 1 wheel: performs well to write the name of a patch with still less convenient virtual keyboard on a PC will all agree the above ^ ^.
    - 9 effect buttons and 1 master button: In order, compression, overdrive / distortion, preamp, equalizer, FX1 (full effect as phaser, flanger ect ...) and FX2, Delay, Chorus, Reverb. Only to end up on Master which assigns full function in all directions, it is THE gasworks button.
    - 1 tuner button activates the tuner
    - Write one button to save the changes to a patch.
    - Select Button 1: Who alternates between channels A and B to the preamp
    - 1 Button Display mode: Who alternates the display mode
    - 1 button exit: Who cancels an operation or return to the previous page.
    - 4 pedals preset selection ctl + 2 + 2 to scroll through the banks and an expression pedal: So that&#39;s the theory, but is programmable and besides the manual mode.
    Are you still there? Good for the back of the machine:
    - 1 input jack 6.35, so for the guitar ;)
    - 1 jack 6.35 Output L / mono and R For the amp or mixer
    - 1 6.35 jack for headphones.
    - 1 Ext Loop, so a send and return in 6.35
    - 1 jack 6.35 amp control for controlling amp channels yours.
    - 1 jack 6.35 Ext Pedal / Ctl 3 and 4: To add an expression pedal or two ctl for the machine.
    - 1 USB jack: To connect to a PC (I tried to download other patches or set directly on the screen, but I always prefer to break me in two to tweak the machine to the ground, I&#39;m a bit masochistic)
    - 1 socket DIGITALOUT: Digital audio output (personal, never used)
    - 2 MIDI IN / OUT jack: Programmer&#39;s patch change rather than typing in the foot, anyone?
    - 1 POWER switch + DC IN: Yes, it must be nourished Little Miss.


    UTILIZATION

    So we will be clear (well, I&#39;ll try ^ ^): Either we take the quick sound creation and operation of the device type (and it may suit some, I&#39;m not criticizing, it&#39;s just a way of approaching the subject. sounds But I still insist on pushing a little more research into selecting each effect independently).
    Either you opt for the manual mode, or see better (in my opinion) a mix of both. The ctl2 is configured (it is important that other pedal yours convenience) to disable or enable the manual mode. This gives you the option (in manual mode) to enable or disable each effect independently through pedals 1-4 + 2 pedals bank (operation typically associated with only CTL1 and 2 in normal mode). Well I&#39;ll try not to spread myself too much on the technical or I&#39;ll write you a box, but to make clear: In manual with a good guitar and a good amp, all well thought out and set mode, a panel sounds very interesting at the end of his feet, all without loading tons are tons of patch one after the other (which quickly becomes problematic to navigate). I also recall that one can control the channels of the amp and have additional ctl, then what else?).

    Little more than I like: set the ctl 1 to activate the tuner (more practical to look for press tuner, eventually you will see that it pleases) that mute the guitar input, which is used to change tranquillou scratch sputter without the amp.

    Ps: I put 6 mainly because of ergonomic

    SOUND QUALITY

    That this is the best ... probably not. Distos may be a little light and FX dodgy for sure. It takes a long time to get some things correct, some sounds are more difficult to analyze and reproduce. For me, it&#39;s still okay but not exceptional, but it depends what type of wiring (2 or 4 wires) and the amp, which will give you renderings very diverse.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The main drawback of this device is that it requires a lot of knowledge, both in terms of everything that can be done on a conventional pedalboard, the management of the beast itself. It is therefore difficult to build its sounds, or give a good consistency in the operation of the whole, but I think this is a problem at all ^ ^ pedalboard.

    What particularly bothers me about the gt10 is is that some may say: Held a gear on two hours of testing, it is downright arrogant. On the other hand, say that it is the best of the best having known that it is obscure all that is near and I think there&#39;s also a lot to learn too.

    Made in the only valid judgment in my opinion is this: For less than 500 euros (at the time), we can find a system that offers more opportunity for the same price and the same quality? A system of independent pedal returns immediately (is by far) much more expensive, it leaves only competition from other multi effects and at the time (I have 4 years) I had not found equivalent compared to everything she could offer me. If I had to take, I probably would. But from the time I can not say I&#39;m not attracted to any other type of equipment, which would allow me to have a more objective judgment ;)

    Numerous effects, a very complete device, usable connected to a computer.

    UTILIZATION

    Configuration is not really simple. This machine is a gas plant, it takes real time to be able to know and use it well. I've never been able to operate even if only 75% of its potential. I see here a downside: too complex.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The effects are very good, you get sounds pretty original and can sometimes be very nice, unfortunately it is in this section that I see the biggest negative. Sounds are cold, dry, and nothing changes. We may have a wide variety of add effects, preamps always give the dry side which I personally find very annoying.

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been a while since I played with this pedal, I'm used extensively on stage. It is very good for a certain type of use, I recommend for those looking for a warm and fat, a little vintage, and I recommend it to those who hope to renew their sound, modernized. Here's why today, I'll sell it to replace it with another pedal that better match my expectations. With experience, I would do that choice. It is important to pay attention to what was really looking forward to making a purchase of this award.

    Boss GT-10 - A Gigging Musicians best friend

    Boss GT-10Published on 08/04/12 at 14:15
    The Boss GT-10 Multi-effects unit has just about every effect a gigging musician will need. Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Harmonist,Advanced Amp modeling and much, much more. Boss uses a new technology they call COSM or Composite Object Sound Modeling. While the average guy doesn't have to know what that is exactly, it equates the best sounding Boss multi effects unit to date. The GT-10 is equipt with USB capability, Parralel Effects chain, MIDI capability, and a digital out making recording a snap. It also comes with an expression pedal for various functions including wah, channel blending, pitch bends, and more.

The GT-10 is equipt with USB capability, Parralel Effects chain, MIDI capability, and a digital out making recording a snap. It also comes with an expression pedal for various functions including wah, channel blending, pitch bends, and more.

    UTILIZATION

    Having been through several BOSS muti-effects units in the past including the GT-8 which was incredibly hard to figure out, the GT-10 is light years ahead as far as ease-of-use. I had it producing great sounds in ten minutes with the EZ Tone function. It took me ten minutes in the past to know the GT-8 was way too complicated and was going back to the store. It also took ten minutes to know the GT-10 was the perfect unit for me and was never going back. The menus are intuative enough for the average guy to understand and manipulate. When I did get stuck, the users manual was clear and concise enough to help me figure it out.


    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound quality is fantastic and works perfect through the effects loop on my guitar amplifier. The level control in an easy to access place on the top allows me to blend my volume by foot while on stage to match the loop level. In some cases the GT-10 produces such great tones, I will volume the unit up to allow its tone to dominate my amplifier's core tone.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Overall the GT-10 is the gigging musician's best friend. I now have two because I can't imagine going on stage without it. I love its ease of use and the fact that it can do just about anything I need it to in the context of a cover band playing many styles and types of music. The phrase looper is a great feature and is a great way to lay down a simple rythem and practice over it. Some people complain they need stomp boxes as the quality of a multi-effects unit usually falls short. Those players may not have tried the GT-10. The sound quality is unmatched by any unit I have owned or tried in the past. It has also been extremely road worthy and I have had no problems. If I had to find one thing that would be an improvement, it might be an extra long power chord for those places where power is tough to get to. All in all the GT-10 is a great choice and well worth the price!

    UTILIZATION

    This thing is hard to use, let's be frank...Especially if you plan to utilize the GT-10's loop and the 4 cable method...That's why I got it...The FX, the loop, and the MIDI control....I use Egnater/Randall MTS amps and wanted an all in one solution....In short the 4CM didn't work for me...I couldn't get the send/return levels set up despite my attempts at standard "unity gain" applications...I have wound up using it to switch channels on my MTS amps as well as run inline effects...No 4CM....And it works great....The Noise Suppressor is weak after I've become accustomed to ISP G series products...

    The manual is clear but if you are a beginner, you're gonna need help...There's an easy to find forum with tons of helpful people....That's how I have survived....


    SOUND QUALITY

    The amp models are something I don't use...I don't care for them but to be fair, I don't care for any digital models...Anyway, the FX are great and you have many options that are all fully tweak able....This thing sounds excellent when used in conjunction with a great amp....

    The FX can be wet or transparent....The MIDI control is great....You have a TON of EQ options as well as any effect you could imagine...Wah, volume, shifter, etc...All here...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I really like this thing, you can arrange your effects any way you want...Order them any way you want....It gives you a lot of control in one box....It really can function the same as an expensive pedal board...It just takes a bit to get to know it and how to use it....Ask questions online and get answers...Dive in, this one is great!

    a solid pedal with effects particularly successful

    Boss GT-10Published on 02/24/12 at 05:14
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    Bought at € 395 in January 2012, following the price cut (it is replaced by the GT100)
    The RP10 is a multi-effect pedal that gives off a good solid feel.
    It has 99 factory presets and 99 users. It is organized into four bank presets and you change the bank with the top pedals (which are also recorded loops) and was the 4 pedals left to select the preset.
    In addition, it has two pedals to vary the presets and an expression pedal (for wah and other), and these three are totally allocable pedals as desired.
    Controlled via midi / usb (never tried). A tuner. FX Loop (very interesting). A phrase loop (loop recorder sentence)

    In addition, it has two pedals to vary the presets and an expression pedal (for wah and other), and these three are totally allocable pedals as desired.
    Controlled via midi / usb (never tried). A tuner. FX Loop (very interesting). A phrase loop (loop recorder sentence)
    One end of treatment, mainly in series (you can also put in parallel), we have:
    Compression - overdrive / distortion / fuzz - preamp - EQ - fx1 - fx2 - delay - chorus - reverb - effects loop and external noise suppressor 2 (possible change of chaining)
    So you can put a distortion, limiter (purpose1), a flange (effet2), delay, chorus, reverb and an effects loop (preamp / amp / pedal, etc..)!
    In the fx effects, there are wah, compressor, limiter, change tone, synth, octaver, pitch shifter, auto riff, phaser, flanger, chorus, tremolo, rotary, vibrato, ring, and other odd effects.
    Found in overdrive / distortion pedal emulations of the mark (OD1 / 2) and other

    UTILIZATION

    The ergonomics are very good: the pedals are well thought out, reminds light effects is being seen, and can be accessed by each impact a specific button.
    Small problem: for parameter changes, you can get lost and confused the button to use because you have some thing to do sometimes with a button, sometimes with another.
    For the effects loop, it must be activated in the MASTER mode and select the Direct Mix to control the rate of reinjection.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Compression, EQ is correct.
    All effects are very good and sound wonderful (flange / chorus / delays / reverb), the wah is not bad.
    The distortion / drive are correct but do not tear, it can be improved with a pedal of choice (market distortion / drive is bloated)
    The pre-amp emulation is not great, it is more or less at a POD. This lack of clarity and warmth. I am considering buying a preamp that will serve me as bass and keyboard.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Use for 2 months. I POD2 for 12 years and a few pedals.
    In the end, it was a well made compact crankset with effects particularly successful. It is high above a POD2 example.
    I was initially hesitant with the G-Major2, but with the price drop of GT10, G-Major is found almost two times more expensive (with the purchase of a midi pedal over € 550 100 € of crankset = 650 € against € 395) to a level barely above functions and less.
    The GT10 is a good deal of time.

    To make it work it's pretty simple patch editing, effects, the manual is clear, everything is pretty basic easy access
    If you choose one that already exists or single mode is easy, but with my equipment I never good output with multi-effects.

    So I think this pedal works best with humbucker (from what I saw and heard), and with the speaker sound system, or a transistor amp (more neutral).

    I manage to use effects independently of patches, for cons for manufacturing patch, I recognize that it is quite complicated when you enter the details and fine-tuning effects in the settings with my equipment is difficult, but are so many settings it's complicated, I have two software co louse, trole (partheus and FxfloorBoard) I will still repeat attempts though a change of material is more appropriate and expensive.

    For clean sounds it is a bad choice, the rest is OK.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have 3 years I do not use it often
    I had the RP255 DIGITECH the problem remains the same.
    + Plus: the operation, ease of use of basic functions (I did not say its creation there is something else), the system effects (luminous buttons), the "mini" looper, the tuner .
    - Less: we feel the potential of the machine but I can not use it has, the worse is knowing that it is possible and given the number of control there is necessarily what I want, I don ' Sometimes not get him out of the machine.

    On the other hand, every time I deliver I advance slowly, but I'd rather play guitar than playing the sound engineer.

    Since I use it only very rarely, I should have bought instead of the pedals (BOSS CS3, Ibanez TS9, Flanger). But mostly I use a guitar and my amp is all tube, it's easy and exciting.

    I'll keep it. I one day I, I get it ..

    Regarding the number of nothing to say because everything you need is, my only regret the lack of delays just DIFFERENT (I had a DL4, then necessarily).

    For the PC edition is possible but, I am THE black spot of the GT-10: lack of follow-up from BOSS. A fix every six months and no new side effects when about to lin6 I think it is more active PBC. The supplied soft presets for backup and its rotten and only a soft limit is completely filled by passions that gap: GT-10FxFloorBoard (http://fxfloorboard.sourceforge.net/info.php?model=gt-10) .

So in the end it compensates, but I find this attitude rev limit and Passista from BOSS.

    For connectivity there is everything you need but can be a Stereo effects loop.

    UTILIZATION

    The function is really EZtone trs easy to use, but I go Always my personal sounds from 0 by hand. The plot thickens it. Imbitables some menus without being its important to my taste a little hard daccès the menus.
    APRS as almost everything is configurable and assignable options are standard. A little research found a wide topics on synthse with the GT-10. Well it's still a little too nerdz my taste, but it dmontre the flexibility of the machine (I do not think the HD500 or else do better on this point).

    Another strong point is its switches. From my point of view is what is the best (I never click the AIM), and the ability rgler in the "momentary" is a more true.

    What I like is the function outpout select, easily accessible. It adjusts the output of the GT-10 depending on what is in amplification (line input amp loop return ...) and automatically dappliquer the right kind of corrections to the sound is prs or just the same whether one is. For example, if the amp's studio is too typical or RPET it possde no feedback loop to bypass the pramp, I plugged into the table without fear. It's best to send her a return, and not to overload the facade.

    Note that depending on the case recording via USB is subject to small glitches ...

    SOUND QUALITY

    I found everything I needed. The effects are trs own, not too much useless stuff. And lmulation trs amp is often good.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This multi purpose exudes srieux. The very air indestructible. I tried the pod X3 and there was no picture my taste. Now, compared to the HD500 and its new MODELS amp and routing is enough hsiter.
    The boss and always better bti my taste for adventure, but pnalis by a support and possibility to upgrade void.

    The end was a time I use it and I'm glad trs, but I would change little with the next gnration be home line6 if support is not progressing.

    What are the effects, or types of effects available? ca have different module:
    Wah, Volume, Comp, distortion, EQ, noise gate (x2) preamp (x2), fx1, fx2, chorus, delay, reverb, and an external effect unit.
    Found in the fx effects that are not within the category (type octave pitshift, ringmodulator etc. ....
    The effects are editable via software NOT PROVIDED by boss (gt10fxfloorboard) but the edition are the gt10 sounds is not so complicated. just the app provides flexibility and can not bend 2 on his machine.

    UTILIZATION

    the manual provides a lot of info, read in detail is a more certain (the details are valid whatever the mode of edtion, pc or on the machine. Nevertheless I prefer to do the edition from the software.

    SOUND QUALITY

    While most effects are effective except Octaver and guitar synth.
    Modules must be considered as truly independent effects.
    The big quesiton of distos and preamp: At the beginning I found that the GT10 was all that resselblaient saturation with just a different equalization but if worked with enough volume we feel the diffrence. I had the opportunity to compare with a Fender Mustang IV and models are the same level. The settings are sensitive enough, there is no need to move much of the eq preamp to feel the change.
    The boss is way to connect to anything (input amplifier, sound, effects loop return .....) a use, which suits him better sound system and loop effect

    OVERALL OPINION

    It's been several years since I use it. I find the report rather good quality price.
    It must be realized that the GT10 is like all the stuff: it tends to be a great sound that is at once by repeating does not work anymore especially if you bump with a different monitoring system (make a sound through headphones example and play on an amp)
    This thing has the versatility to him. Now if you have special needs "simple" type I branch and I play with little effect, use a multi-effect will not be used and as much from an amp and a pedal or two.
    If you want to increase the quality it will necessarily increase the price and go for example on a shaft.

    Effects, including distos are a bit cold, not always powerful trs. Nanmoins, I who was looking to get the majority of effects in one pdalier is perfect for a. In addition when you're in an apartment being able to play headset is perfect. Note that your exact sound does not the same thing as we are, or you leave the headphone on the amp. I used it in 4 mthode son on the amp to keep the lamp pramplification my amp.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used a lot for 2 years especially since I lived in the studio and had to play with headphones. Today I use a lot of pedals, but instead I keep always to play with headphones! To Get You Started with a lot of effects is the distortion APRS trs well as digital and remains cold whawha less violent than the pedals example. Against the chorus by trs well, pitch shifter, reverb, delay c a lot and I use them again.
    In total it is a good product but trs not expect to get a distortion worthy of a big amp lamp is a numrique.

    Cot effects, there's something to please both choices in a quality that is modulated or modlisation. Whatever the style, the GT-10 will provide the sound environment and any effects DSIR.

    Publisher trs simplistic at Boss, for my part I use the freeware "floorboard" even if I use it only to store, j'dite my sounds directly on the GT-10.

    UTILIZATION

    Owner of Multi-effects for years I can not objectively judge the simplicity of use, especially having had a GT-5's handling was done naturally trs. But comparable to other devices ergonomics is very well thought-free "option C a small mini-menu in the menu in D".

    For the edition is as simple as having pedals and an amp lambda.

    SOUND QUALITY

    So here I have not intended to change the minds of anti-or anti modlisation Boss corp, but noted that for possessing or more devices try onreux and to be the happy owner of various amps this unit runic lamps more quality than default:

    - First of all I use only rarely modlisations amp, when possible I always at least one head lamp and the GT for effects that are often limited in concert reverb and delay for most titles, and pout there are always telling me to come, even when a cold, plastic rings, I'd better play with a real amp.

    - Yes ending for twenty years since I hear that the modlisation is wrong, yes I too am a lover of his and my greatest happiness is to go snapping me back to the cab volume , but that once the volume and the amp dscendu dubbed by some in that I do not know what the cables with entasss fly in a branch on the one hand a microphone capsule rinse and also a multi-pair craft a decade. Really you will make the diffrence in the faade?

    - On the other hand I found myself several times in an embarrassing situation as some of you may know be: I come with the car rabatus Headquarters for the amp, rack effects, the guitars and the cabinet.

    1 - There's no place to park less than 1km from the 500 club is all fawn pedestrian street parking not clear to unloading.
    2 - L must be chosen, a small dark street and everyone looks at you offload your gear, the SIGES rabbatus are, what you take the risk of leaving?
    3 - The resort is small, the tiny scne. I'll play the HP 30 cm and 20 cm faade of the drummer, singer and bass player will shoot me again at least for the pedals ... too late the "balance" was enough and I m'apperoit passing so close to that as the receiver sending the cab up the sound of my legs I'm the one who hears the least my own instrument.
    4 - We just tell me I'm too strong so I will play with the volume 0.8 (on a lamp while it is a sound of shit).

    So - in this configuration - you will understand the joy that show up with a guitar in each hand tui and the GT-10 in the back.

    OVERALL OPINION

    As I say for me it is the ratio price quality is stunning, it would be crazy to dpenser addition, and despite the new concurrency direct costs gal I will take a 10 GT.
