    The manual is clear and complete, everything is explained (type of effects available functions, etc ...) franais. About 100 pages.</span>
    The edition of sound effects or is it easy?
    <span style="font-weight: normal;">Yes. I had rarely need rfrer me the manual. The possible variations are very many so it is easy to find personnaliss sounds and almost all standards are there, modifiable trslgrement dramatically. The rglages are prcis with a large palette.
    Everything is recordable.
    I put 9/10 because nothing is perfect.

    SOUND QUALITY

    <strong>Are the effects effective and sufficiently ADAPTS GPs?
    <span style="font-weight: normal;">They are very good quality. Yes they are effective. Yes they are GPs. They are well-sr ADAPTS because it is really hard not to find what one is looking ... The expression pedal is really effective and enjoyable.
    </span> What instruments do you use?
    <span style="font-weight: normal;">I use a Mexican fender and frankly he emphasizes and respects the nuances of diffrentes positions of microphones. In short: great.
    I also use a Epiphone les paul standard plus and even finding that with the stratovolcano.
    From Gnrale Manire I would say it broadens the possibilities of normment two guitars while respecting their strengths (short it fulfills its role very well).
    What are those you prfrez, you dtestez?
    There are none that I dteste, there are none that I prefer; There are many I like, there are some that I like less.

    Boss GT 6 Guitar Effects Unit

    Boss GT-6Published on 09/19/04 at 15:00
    Purchased over Ebay from private seller in Chicago, USA
    Updating from Boss ME 5 effects unit.
    I paid $400 U.S for the unit.


    Everything! Has so many effects which are preset and can also be modified by the user.
    Patches can be downloaded from the Internet - especially from GTCentral - a great site for all Boss GT effects units, and downloaded into the GT 6 easily.
    Amp and speaker configurations sound very much like the originals! I have owned a number of amps ranging from Marshall stacks to Fender and Peavey combos and the sound is very comparable.

    Usual Boss quality - tough as nails construction and ongoing performance.
    My old ME 5 unit is at least 15 years old and has been used live all that time and proved to be very reliable.

    A great quality unit which is very affordable for all the features that come with it.

    I'm really looking forward to extending the unit's capabilities ( and mine!)

    Boss GT-6 Guitar Effects Processor

    I acquired mine for the usual $399.99 at AZ Music in Phoenix, Az.

    Everything, built like a tank, easy to operate (DO NOT READ THE MANUAL...go to www.bossgtcentral.com), effects not seen on other pedals ie: defretter, bass ( A REAL SOUNDING BASS), mono, stereo, pan delays, and the list goes on, I can go on forever, read either other reviews or go to my favorite site, www.bossgtcentral.com.

    Made in TAIWAN ?!?!?! Anyways, you would not know it judging by the sound quality, and ease of use.

    Built like a tank, very excellent selection of OD/Dist, preamp....Mesa Boogie, Peavy 5150, trust me, you will love this unit, but YOU HAVE TO TAKE TIME TO LEARN THE FUNCTION CONTROLS as I did.

    I bought it in Mexico, it costed me around $480 so in USA it must cost a lot less

    This unit is amazing, I've just bought it a days ago and a don't regret a bit of buying it, it has a whole lot of effects, amp models, distortions, we'll you wouldn't believe it.

    Well I suposse it's a bit confusing starting using but this is logical, cause there are so much things to do with it, but nothing a little read on the manual wouldn't solve.

    Very hard steel, everything is really well done, everything fits just in place and I dont expect it to break apart, ever.

    I bought this from MusiciansFriend for $400

    The range of sounds you can produce with this processor is daunting. It is possible to adjust almost every parameter of each of the effects you are using and save all the settings to one pedal. The BPM features allow you to set the master tempo for a patch and then base all of the rates of the master(delay on quarternotes and phaser on quarternote triplets and reverb on 16th notes). It sounds great. The digital out lets me plug directly into my soundblaster.

    Apart from the standard effects (rev, dly, chorus, wah, od/dst) there are only two sets of effects, FX-1 and FX-2. You can't use more than one effect from a set at a time. Not a huge problem…

    Solid construction. Looks and feels like it will survive me stepping on it for decades.

    For $400 I doubt you could do better.

    I bought mine in a lochal music shop and it cost me 575 ying! I was fed up buying separate stompboxes that were costing me a fortune and needed a multi effects unit that was gig worthy and good enough for recording.

    Unbelievable range of distortion wah and clean sounds. To buy all of the individual stompboxes on the GT6 would cost thousands nevermind all the amp types on it.

    No, its perfect in every way.

    This thing is so sturdy you could enter it in robot wars.

    I purchased my GT6 from Sounds & Systems in Kenora, ON. They had to order it in which took 2 and a half months! Haha...but it was well worth the wait. I did a lot of research before i made the decision of purchasing the unit. I ended up paying CAD$625.00 + tax.

    I love everything about this unit. The amp models are incredible! They change the sound so much and are very detailed. I like the fact that you can tweak almost every setting on the unit. There are a lot of very useful effects..but on the other hand A LOT of useless effects. This is one of the best purchases I've ever made in my life!

    The only thing i don't like about this unit is with the harmonizer effects (octave, harmony, etc) you can't play more than one note at a time...doing so will result in the unit making some wierd tones. One other thing i didn't like is how long it took to learn how to use it..i STILL don't know everything about it..and i'm sure i never really will.

    As MANY other people have said...the GT-6 is built like a tank! I'd say this thing is virtually indestructable. That doesn't mean you go and run it over with your car or anything...but its built amazingly strong.

    Overall...this unit is amazing! The great effects it does have add so much depth and creativity to your guitar playing. I love this unit and if i lost it or if it got destroyed...i would DEFINATELY purchase a new one ASAP. This deserves more than 5/5!

    I bought this at a pawn shop for $275. It's a joke to me because the people there didn't realize how much it wa worth. It was used a bit by a guy who needed money quick and had to sell it. GOOD DEAL EH?!

    The various amounts of effects in this puppy is amazing. there are a few cheesy one's, but most are like that. good buy!

    nothing, izall good

    very well made

    Great unit. If you got the money, buy one. They'll last forever and you'll never go unsatisfied.

    I bought this multieffect-pedal one year ago in an Guitar store in Hamburg-Germany. Ipaid at least 455€ for it. I bought it because I didn`t want to have thousends of single pedals.

    It is an digital unit, but the handling is as easy as if it was an analog one. You have got milions of possibilities when you want to create a new sound by yourself. And there are also about 100 presets!

    The only negative thing about it is that you sometimes get lost in all those effects you can use together. But if you understand that less is more you`ll have your fun with this pedal.

This processor also had to be able to handle accoustic and classical guitars as well as electric. After talking to other guys in my same situation,I landed on the GT6.

    I love most everything about the GT6.It handles all the styles of music that we do very well. I am also very impressed at how it handles all my diffrent guitars with ease. The GT6 is extremly easy to program and set up. I have mine set up to work like stomp boxes. It's like having a whole lot of diffrent stomp box set-ups in one unit. I can set up my GT6 to work with any type of guitar I have to play,and apply the right effects,amp sim.,speaker cab and EQ
    as well as some nifty special effects like Uni-vibe,defretter and even some synth effects.

    It's too big, and Roland (Boss)does'nt provide any after market support such as patches and sound combos. They don't even have a soft case for it. Finding info on this thing is like finding hens teeth. I wis it were lighter and smaller,I have to use a rolling suitcase to take this thing to church.

    Built like a tank. All steel construction,and even a kick plate. This thing will be here for a while. The quality of the sounds are awesome. Our sound guy noticed the difference almost immediatly.His quote was "man that thing is cool". We also send our church service out on radio and TV, and the sound lays real nice in the mix. The amp sims are right on, and very musical. The effects are genuine Boss,need I say more?

    I would highly recommend this unit to any one who is tired of lugging all those heavy amps around, and spent all that time hooking up all those stomp boxes and having to deal with wall warts and batteries. Not to mention having to keep up with all those little hookup wires that are forever breaking,crackling and generally wreaking havock right in the middle of some beautifuly quiet song.

    I love the sound and quality of the effects. I have used it through a couple different amps and straight into my mixing board and I continue to be impressed. The presets are pretty good also. It definatly has everything I wanted in it and allows me to do everything I want to do.

    The manual lacks some detail and is hard to follow at first. I had to read the thing several times and fiddle with the unit before getting it. Once you understand the unit though the manual becomes a better tool. The foot switches are also a bit close, so I found myself bumping more than one at a time occasionally.

    I have not had it long and have not travelled with it, but it seems pretty rugged to me. I dont feel like I need to baby it, but I probably will anyway.

    I have bought several toys for myself through the years but this is the first one I find myself anxious to go home and play with some more. This unit is packed with a great array effects and sounds. It suits my style of playing so well I almost think it was designed for me. I am completly satisfied with this purchase. Between this and the Taylor I dont think I could have a better Christmas.....Happy Holidays.

I would also like to see a unit that can be attached to a mic stand to manupulate the midi info for ex. I want to go straight to a patch program rather than sit with my foot on the peddle waiting for the number to climb from 1 to 40. Too time consuming. I also would like to see a hard case for the unit. $150 quoted for a custom job, too much!

    No problems there, looks good on stage too.

    Well worth the money. Makes an average guitar and amp sound great.

    PAID $395, SAM ASH, NO PAYMENTS FOR 12 MONTHS. That helped. I bought this unit for the amp and speaker simulations.

    This unit is sturdy. I was used to a ZOOM 505II but no complaints about that unit. I like the ease of use. I am easily frustrated with units requiring several minutes of wrestling. This unit has knobs!
    If u like your setting... hit the "write" key twice and it's saved. Has wide range of effects that I would normally not use, but now I will! I do alot of recording and this has made it easier without alerting the neighbors.

    This unit gives you a wide variety of pre-amp and cabinet simulations. Would suggest everyone get one. Makes you wonder what is the next level of digital is going to be.
    Though it's not the actual thing, why not try it like this:
    Power amplifier and two 3-way speakers. This is my new gear. My ultimate stack.
    You will set a new sound standard.

    Now buy this unit. Hang out at the GT-6 yahoo users group.

    Bought it in Romania for around 950 DM (Deutsche Mark) in November 2001.

    24 bit converters and digital out (coaxial), the amp modelling is impressive and so is the wah. You have all the classics and you can make your own on top of that. A generous display allows you to name your patches.
    There's a guitar synth that sounds quite like plugging your axe into that old Korg MS-20 (what a piece!), only this time it's digital, and you can choose the wave type, attack, decay, etc. And you don't need a GK2A divided pick-up.

    I am not very happy with the manual but it is OK.
    Also an "undo" button in the near future?

    The moment you take it out of its box you know you can step on it. Very robust.

    24 bit converters and digital out (coaxial), the amp modelling is impressive and so is the wah. You have all the classics and you can make your own on top of that. A generous display allows you to name your patches.
    There's a guitar synth that sounds quite like plugging your axe into that old Korg MS-20 (what a piece!), only this time it's digital, and you can choose the wave type, attack, decay, etc. And you don't need a GK2A divided pick-up.

    I am not very happy with the manual but it is OK.
    Also an "undo" button in the near future?

    The moment you take it out of its box you know you can step on it. Very robust.
    It would be nice to be able to buy a gig bag or even a case from Roland made especially for the GT-6.

    My music is oriented towards jazz-house/ trip hop/ downtempo/ ambient and there is no effects processor that can give me more possibilities than the GT-6. I just love it. From classic sounds to "what-was-that?" type of thing, everything is inside. I am really surprised to get so much from it.

    Bought the GT-6 for use on stage.
    Paid $300.00 in the Netherlands

    What I like is:
    it's robust and has good sound quality on stage.
    Use of quit a few pre amps is really cool and you can dump additional midi information into it.

    Nothing yet

    Really good.
    I't heavy, the pedles are robust.

    Buy one now and throw your old stuff away! you'll become a better guitar player overnight

    I bought it in a shop for $995. Mark price was $1295.

    Very good sound. I play it through a Marshall prastice amp and a cheap strat copy guitar. The amp models are really nice. i have never used the original so I can't tell if they sound close, but they sound good and that's all I care about. Distortions/overdrives are really nice. It gives you an idea of what model certain effects are based on in the manual. I own 3 stomp boxes -ds 2, tubescreamer ts7 and use Big Muff, and so far the tubescreamer and big muff sound close enough on gt6.
    Presets are pretty good, gives you an idea of what sound you can get. Some really cool flanger/phaser/synth sound on the presets. These are not really us…

    Pitch shifting is pretty good, not as bad as some poepl suggested.
    Auto riff is a cool effect.
    Analog interface is really easy for editing.

    Nothing...wish it comes with a soft case though.

    Sturdy metal chasis, boss quality.

    Very nice unit. It seems expensive since you pay almost $1000au at once but then it will end up be cheaper than stompx boxes plus power supply and patch cables.
    Convient without all those patch cables.
    People who looking for multu-effector should really look seriously at this product. It's awesome!!!

    Bought it on E-bay, believe it or not. Paid $350 for it new in the box. Couldn't wait to find it anywhere else possibly cheaper but I think I got a great price.

    The sound quality is amazing and the unit reaks of quality. Built like a tank like everything else Boss makes. I especially liked the wah modeling. Quite impressive to actually be able to hear the difference between a Vox wah and a Crybaby from a modeling unit.

    Nothing I've found yet!

    As I mentioned above, it's built very solid. This unit will take years of road abuse and keep coming back for more. Obviously, it's of a very high quality.

    config not simple, it takes more than the gas plant.
    Manual sufisant but not clear

    SOUND QUALITY

    effects are effective.

    OVERALL OPINION

    - How long do you use the equipment / instrument?
    August 23, 2002 I still have this equipment but does not use up more mistakes.

    - Did you tried many other models before buying it? If so, which?
    No, the first of its kind stuff. I buy boss because I already had one foot OD2r from home. so why go elsewhere when we know the quality.

    - What is the feature that you like most and least?
    + Solid, Bank of its crazy, its crazy, the output, full product.
    + And - It is not for a beginner that I was, and sometimes that I am still facing this gas plant
    - Wha Wha effect really basic stain. But that parameter.

    - How would you rate the quality / price?
    Right. the purchase of this reasoning was: "If I bought all the effects a home has a boss, I have more dosh more space, loss of quality by different jack."

    - With experience, you do again this choice? ...
    At the time yes. Today not because there the best GT10 etc. .. because I would stay in the brand boss.

    I refer to the manual of 86 pages ;)
    No lamp, it's digital.
    But torments me a question: IO send and return they receive the same converters as the input and output?
    Small flat staff: the sampling frequency is fixed at 44.1kHz, which prevents me from using the digital output since I work at 48kHz. That said, according to Nyquist 44.1kHz is ample to respect the audio of an electric guitar, so I understand the choice of Boss about it.
    Big plus for the Noise Suppressor that is excellent, the grid-in audio that can change the chaining in all directions including externalities.
    Last, the pedal is a reliability and durability which makes it a companion along the way.

    Big plus for the Noise Suppressor that is excellent, the grid-in audio that can change the chaining in all directions including externalities.
    Last, the pedal is a reliability and durability which makes it a companion along the way.

    UTILIZATION

    I used a GT-3 for a good ten years so I was familiar with the ergonomics. For someone who discovers the logic of the device, the manual is essential. That said, the manual is very clear, well translated and generous in theoretical descriptions.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Modulations are very good. A special mention for the flanger is very organic / liquid, really excellent. Some effects are too extravagant for my taste, I think in particular that is very humanizer connotations.
    Compressor and limiter very good, really.
    The acoustic simulation is far from an acoustic guitar, but for clean sounds, it adds a beautiful shine.
    The processor is fast pitch shifting, well made.
    The wah is also convincing, you have presets that emulate a CryBaby, a Vox. On an overdrive, the CryBaby is fine. Note that I compare it with the red Fasel Wylde Wah, which is not bad, that's saying something.
    The strength of this pedal is that all parameters can be edited, making it a complex but fully customizable. In theory, concerning the modulations, it is possible to find exactly the sound you want, all of which is to be patient.

    I do not use reverbs but exceptional cases, I regret the absence of a spring reverb.

    The timing is very good, with many possibilities. No fault of that side.

    This brings me to the effects of distortion and OD, and there is drama. No surprise on that side, it is synthetic, garish for some, certainly not in short what we can expect a saturation or a grain. Personally, I use the outer loop to connect to an OD (TS-7) and an 8-band EQ. From there you can adjust the amount of signal that is injected into the loop (via the drive) and the amount that reduces (via level). With a tube amp behind, as if it boosts the pedals were connected directly, the loop does not color the sound, just like the rest of the pedal, amazing. Dynamics is respected to the extent that you took the time to adjust the output level of the gizmo, the patch level, the output type, etc. ...

    The preamp simus are not all convincing, I think particularly in high-gain, which suffer from a lack of dynamics and a grain too cartoonish. However, the simulation VOX AC30 (apart from the lead channel is ugly) is quite successful, and that of the JC-120 which was a shame to miss for Roland / Boss ;)
    Note also the ability to customize an existing modeling preamp, by shifting the bass and treble sweets spots and pushing or dropping them.
    Simus on HP, then it is false in full. The technology dates, for sure, and convolution simus really really simus relegated to the rank of models filters coarse comb.

    In short: excellent for modulation periods. Reverb a bit limited. Simus preamps convincing for some, bad for others. Simus HP to cast.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Pedals solid, serious, very good sound quality. Perfect for the modulations, effects and temporal dynamics. The filter effects are convincing. For the rest (HP simulation, distortion, OD), it's light.

    Priced at the occasion, this is a very good deal.

    So if you play the Muse for example, we reproduced exactly the hamronizer (MK Ultra), the Octave (Solo Invincible), and almost all the effects Bellamy with his stuff out of berserk ... Octave is also close to what I heard, trying a digitech whammy.
    I confess, however, that the expression pedal configured whawha puzzled me ... after spending 3 hours on it, nothing to do, I was jealous of Joe Satriani and Kirk Hammett ...

    I use it with an Ibanez RG 470 amended (DP193 Air Norton in neck and Seymour Duncan SH4 in bridge). My amp is a Hughes & Kettner hybrid (lamp preamp) ATTAX 100.

    This configuration is also very good for metal.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 14 years
    I have owned a Zoom 4040 and have tried before an immeasurable amount

    Goodies: ULTRA is tough (it does not move during the scene even if you are excited), it can reproduce most of the effects used by guitarists from 1950 until today. Obviously the cost was divided by 4 since its release if one believes the argus?

    Cons: it may be a bit complex to use for a novice, the user community is small, and therefore it is difficult to share useful tips ...

    We find the key to a guitarist, distos, reverb, delay, chorus etc. etc.
    The amp models are really good quality. I sold a DG-Stomp, preferring the sound and range of the GT-6. We find the marshall amps, Fender, Matchless, mesa-boogie, roland jc-120, Soldano ..... technology-based MSOC
    In section preamp / amp, dedicated knobs allow for faster edition. Very good point.
    The case is metal and the pedals are still strong.

    The case is metal and the pedals are still strong.
    The power supply is external, which is a bit embarrassing (personally)

    UTILIZATION

    Getting started is simple, as the old boss models.
    You can change the algorithm, ie the order of concatenation of effects, and it is a real plus!
    The edition sounds poses no problem, but it is true that I am used to pedal Boss long time, I'm not objective.
    The manual is simple and well marked.

    SOUND QUALITY

    It is certainly empirical, but to my ear, the effects are of excellent quality.
    The amp simulations are realistic, and you can get a lot of nuances of sounds with a single model of amp, playing on the presence, EQ, type of speaker etc etc.. With a good guitar (Gibson SG for me), the distortions produced truly react well when you lower the volume on the guitar or by attack of the pick. To fully realize, do not compare the sound of the GT-6 on a hi-fi side of a marshall, but rather a powerful sound and good quality.
    Distortions (pedals) are also fairly comprehensive. There are the classic at Boss, as well as simulations of Tube Screamer, Big Muff, Marshall ... Again, the result is.
    The reverb and delay are fairly basic, but very good. Any one can even adjust the cutoff frequency high or low, which helps to qualify the sound, and retain the clarity of the musical phrase.
    Other effects are accessories for me and I'm using that very little, I did not speak.
    Simply, those I can not find enough performers (there): The pitch shifter is not quite accurate, an octave pedal from Boss is more intelligible and less latency I find unfortunate.
    The effect UNI-V has a utility more abstract, but hey, if it is just great, why not. Same for the auto-riff.

    my amp simulations favorites are: Rectifier, Mesa-Lead, Match Lead, Tweed.
    The idstos: Tube Screamer, DS-1

    Note, if you try a gt-6, think the presets are bad quality because drowned in effects and reverb. It is better to start from zero to recreate the patches, with a more natural sound, enjoying the sound of the GT-6.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use me for 6 months.
    I love her, and especially the flexibility of routing, which lets you play almost plug and play for fans of the genre, or create sounds with extreme precision, according to the preference of everyone.
    I use a boss me-5, GT-5, a digitech gsp-21 legend and a Yamaha DG-stomp before it.
    The price quality ratio is very good with the current price when you consider that the GT-5 was costing a 5200 Fr era.
    I do not regret that choice.

    We can cover all styles (from jazz to rockabilly through to the good old metal trash) simulations are realistic (in my taste, I had a Line 6 POD and I changed because I find that POD with you always even a grain of sound is something near and equalization are not very effective, and after testing the GT6 I found it more flexible and versatile SO close to that level of quality preamp. This is My personal opinion based on my tastes ....)

    OVERALL OPINION

    Having been an owner at the time when GT5 is released, I found that there was a marked increase in quality of sound on the GT6, the effects still legendary and my personal opinion on those who say that it sounds bad Preamps level is that they do not know how to use it.
    I advise those who want to make the scene as the studio.
    I sold my POD has limited the use of the studio and it gave me not only the surge of creativity that you can have on a GT6 (^ For one program while ...)
