UTILIZATION

Using very simple and intuitive thanks to the many knobs.
The main paramtres prampli and the base effects are available either by knobs, without going into the menu-edition.
The memory 100 users are more than adequate.
The soft Windows adds more rgonomie allowing graphical edition.

SOUND QUALITY

notice of use with guitar, headphones and PC

To be honest, I had a big section on appriori prampli / HP simulator but I quickly Agral trs t surprised by the quality and diversity of sounds.
I am not a connoisseur of DIFFERENT (and trs many) amps modliss by GS10 but all seem cohrents and transparent, each bringing a color particulire without being caricature or synth tick.
The rglages of prampli (gain, bass, middle, treble, presence) combines thirty amp simulations allow an infinite combination that cover the entire sound spectrum. For those who would not, you can even customize are clean amp / hp Virtual selection of the amp, the choice of speakers (size and number) choice of microphone positioning and distance bafflles face. phew!
The important point is that whatever the combination, we always find the sound of his guitar, which is never Touf or denatured, but development, and likewise his game and his attack .
Finally I found the preamp convaiquant very warm, regardless of the grain, light, crunchy or saturated.

For effects, the GS-10 offers:
- A compressor / sustaineur
- A simulator of Overd pedals / distortion (in addition to the distortion grapefruit!)
- A 4-band equalizer paramtrique (in addition to the legalization prampli!)
- A noise suppressor basic (in cut)
- A chorus
- A reverb
- A delay
- An effect selected from the first group, called fx1, including whawha, limit, enhancer, tremolo, etc.. (To quote the most useful)
- An effect selected from a second group, called fx2, including phaser, flanger, rotary, pitch shifter, etc..

All these effects are largely trs Settings, simultanment used (except FX1 and FX2, only one of each) and in the order desired. The preamp section can also be place where you want in the chain of effects (ds time someone wants to put the reverb before distortion ...)

N'tant not a fan of too marked effects, I mainly use the reverb, chorus and whawha with the optional expression pedals (boss ev-5) and I am satisfied trs .
I do not use any of the simulation of distortion pedals, my taste is too cold and aggressive, but I think it has the desired effect as remains in the minds of p Boss pedals.
The preamp allows any fawn to have saturations dj gnreuses warm-but-this time without the need for an overdrive supplmentaire. In the conbini 2, we have what it takes to play thrash-metal.
I have not needed the legalization Settings, the preamp's wide enough for me dj, everything that this is highly comprehensive and combined infinity, and I not see what is bound to get the sound you're looking.

Last item on the USB:
Connects to PC, you have a sound card 24-bit / 44 kHz and an external MIDI controller.
You can choose what part of the string effects the audio is sent to the PC via USB, allowing for example to play a guitar part with all the effects in monitoring (for ism and feeling) but not to record on his PC that raw guitar, see the preamp, reserving the possibility to settle DEFINITIONS effects that the end of all records in the mix.
In this case the effects are applied either on the guitar but from the USB input, and serves as a gs-10 effects loop for PC.
A final point convenient, between the auxiliary RCA which I plug my synth that allows me to free myself of a mini mixer.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for only a week and I am far from having been around.

The most important thing for me is the preamp section / simulation of hp and I'm really happy trs, each amp simulation with its own personality while remaining transparent.
I even discovering qualities and default that I had never noticed on my guitars, it is to say ...

In conclusion, the GS-10 replaces him alone my old preamp / hp simulation, effects processors, mini mixer and sound card PC! And it all with amazing sound quality, the del of what I hoped before buying.
