All user reviews for the Boss GT-10

See the website or other notices Boss. But a good résumé large packages of effects of possible combinations and a great big bundle of possibilities I think.

Useful thing, a looper!

UTILIZATION

I did that for some days but I dj read the user manual to be sure enough consquent can use it properly. Many of achtent and sell almost aussitt plant because it is a real gas.

So I would say ... watch, allow yourself time to tame the thing!

Have not yet been able to use it "live", I should say that both a multi possde ct "Plug'n Play" as there is a way to find a quick and appropriate. On the other, you can almost do everything with limited and can become a long set (if we try something prcis).

Basically, if you want to sound forth as al so no problem. on the other hand, to something more prcis be sought, but good handling .. it was something for nothing.

The manual ... clear, "Yeah" I say. but will be well read what.

I have not had enough time to dive into it right the potential is my l. We do what we want with the patches, you can put before or APRS pramp, mthode use 4 cables, use two channels Submitted (ab) ... there are ways to do almost all.

EDIT 17/01

I just watched the entire manual with bte on the knees and confirms what I say ... 1001 option, it is standard I think. It's not the full twelve o'clock o can be assigned all with anything but I really regret NOT my 335.

SOUND QUALITY

As I said, I did not used to live but Premire, the sounds are good and I think that the modulations are what is best for this can (c That is why I took it).

Personally, I think it's a good trs "Swiss knife" that can be used with preamp and the whole shebang without worry or use "simple" with modulations, tuners, wah ...

OVERALL OPINION

Basically, I expect to be able to test it by tural situation and above all, learn to use it because it is only a few days as I possde.

I took it for:

- The use of modulations that are good trs

- The patch intrt power as we want the effects, assign what you want what you want

- The Intgr looper (small but useful)

- The Boss solidity

- Have everything at hand without lugging 25kg of pedals besides food.

For those who like me, does not roll forcment on gold, they like to have an effect on hand, which does not invest 800 ® religion effects, is lugging kg of pedals, with BBbbbbbbzzzzzz not possible .. basically be who want a quiet, purchase the GT10.

A 335 in UK .... I regret not! (9 / 10 because nothing is perfect and there are probably better by putting more!)

An editor for Mac / PC?

2, an editor "free" ... thank you to his developpeur...boss / roland does not develop anything but good I used to work directly on the pedal and it goes very fast indeed, the screen is easy to read ... this may be why it's not a priority for them

UTILIZATION

- The configuration gnrale Is it easy?
very simple

- The edition of sounds and effects is it easy?
3 simple ways ... (EZ tone), normal advance (deep editing.) It is still important to read the manual, as in advanced mode, everything is customizable so you can spend time

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

quite clear but could be more detailed in places

SOUND QUALITY

- Effects are they effective, suitable and adequate ralistes?
bcp effect, all are available, none is fair to fill ... some can be quite difficult to use (I think a simulation of sitar) but jai heard examples posted by users to show that in some contexts they are actually relevant, even if at first they seemed totally unnecessary given

- Which instruments do you use?
microwave double guitars only ... godin, gibson and sometimes with more cheap models ....

- What are those you prfrez, you dtest?
there is everything, the effects are of very good quality overall, the pitching / follow harmonize well, the simulations can be used to synthe ... some are completely useless for my use but it's always interresting if you want to experiment or out of the ordinary ...

for those with galley highgain simulation, the GT10 (and before that WG8) is used on stage by Opeth in two head laney GL100 that serve as power amp ... (referring to the site guitarmessenger.com for photos and videos ) ... so it's possible to do! ^ ^


OVERALL OPINION

I waited a while before giving an opinion, it's been 4 months now that I use daily, and he had this much time to get to familiarize myself with all the editable parameters and all possible combinations . simulator in the category, I also have a ToneLab and with PODXT packs, I have both kept a good time. this is the first time I m'interressais a boss. was first seen it is not the most flattering, it takes work and investment but in the end I'm happy ... of course I prefer the sound of my herbert in a 4x12 but it is incomparable issue Budget (5000 euros vs 350 euros!)

thing to note, it is interresting to note that the monitoring system should not be neutral with this simulator ... good monitoring system (quality) may give a hard time in the most demanding of you , while a simple consumer audio system (basic) give very good results because it provides a default equalization is not neutral .... a finding on my part after several tests and blows of fate ...

boss probably take into account that the average user does not have at its disposal the best equipment available on the market ... but boss has not told from what was modeled each of the outings (except for well-JC120 on): what was modeled "return", "small amp" and etc ... ..'s boss when they used models the headphone / line out, for example ... one thing is for sure ca n is not an AKG 300 euros, I use one and it does not sound terrible, but can be a simple Koss has 30 euros as someone suggested to me ...

short in the end knowing that I would do this choice, I get very good sound knobs that respond well to either very large distortion, overdrive, crunch and clean ... I do not regret my PODXT or my ToneLab .. . the gt10 is a great tool for those who have time to fix it ... those who think the master in 2 hours can ALREADY get their way!

[edit] after hours on and 9 months of good and loyal service, I still maintain my opinion on the GT10, and stresses once again that the GT10 is the opposite of plug and play .... it takes time, sometimes even a lot of time with the usual .. so it has taken into consideration!

I come here to post three links, because of the negative reviews on the GT10 distos ....

UTILIZATION

The grip is really quite simple. If we push the vice, a quick look in the manual and it's good, because pretty well explained.

9 / 10

SOUND QUALITY

And it's for me to gte ca.

I tried it with a Laney VH100R and Brunetti Maranello. Guitar: ESP Horizon II.
The first observation: nothing to do, and disto are not exploitable for moi.C is bland, synthetic standards and it shows. Especially compared to a "real" amp distortion as found on dan brunetti or Laney. After, all in what we dpend branch. Essay in a Laney VC30, I silent enjoyable surprise.
I do not use so that the loop of my amp. The delay, reverb, chorus, EQ, phaser are good. Nothing transcendent. I do not use the rest.

The Wah is not very Russianness as compared to a crybaby "base", we see the difference ofSuite.

5 / 10.

OVERALL OPINION

He rendered all the same great service. But the quality gnrale effects is too mean. It excels my taste has nowhere except in the fact that it is very complete.
I compared to a Line6 M13 is a foul and Nova System is standard. I preferr the od / distortion of a pod.

Quality price ratio just lev pdalier this should be sold cheaper.

Repeat this choice, not, in fact I sold dja and goes on a Nova System.

Basically, a very complete product, which will satisfy normment.
on the other hand, many, like me, find the sound quality very very limited, and I'm not the only one who'll be a spare or me spare. Good at the same time, from the time we released the Boss GT SERIES ... should be notified. Strongly renewed the noise level (because the rest is very well done.).

6 / 10, for use and are not CHARACTERISTICS criteria that standards matter to me.

As always with Boss, non-judgmental overrides pice ... Here are 3 months that I possde, APRS four years of GT8, some GT6 ...
Seemingly simple setup, but everything is modifiableet all is not explained in the doc base ...

OVERALL OPINION


Report quality excellent price if you like!

The default pdalier this is the sound which can be diffrent home and live or in RPTES ... Indeed, the output type (direct or amp send / return or sound or headphones) modifies the sound ... lgrement as the best to play all the time sound (300 watts a yamaha stagepass costs 500 euros, half an amp lamp)

Compared to the GT8, nothing new, except the basic paramtrage "Systm") much more complete, the looper, more patches ...

What are the effects or types of effects available?

All, it offers an infinite range of effects, the sound is top, 200 presets are included in the GT10 sounds and 200 user

How long have you use it?

2 months



What is the particular feature you like best and least?

What I like most is its simplicity of EZ Tone

Ej'aime what the least is that the loop does to keep a sound, it registers the sounds are superimposed, but if you record a new sound is found erased the old ditto the extinction of the GT10



Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

not



How do you report qualitprix?

A must see at Boss, 450th let go is not easy but I do not regret, so good value quality price



Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ...

yes all done

</ul>

Much impact but few are really interesting

UTILIZATION

The manual is clear, but the use seemed complicated at first after we get used. Editing sounds is fairly easy.

SOUND QUALITY

I am not come to sound out interest and harmonious.
On the tube amp with Fender Hot Rod Fender Stratocaster guitar is downright null. With the Marshall amp transistor is a little better.

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 year. I am not come to found a single sound I like. I do not longer used since I bought the other effects pedals much higher.
I do not recommend this pedal that is a possibility of delirium but with whom I have come to nothing. I find it very expensive for what it brings and I will not repeat that choice.

Already detailed in other reviews ...
There's all the notes properly so I ...

UTILIZATION

Config "simple", should read a bit anyway ...
The manual is boss, half is useless ...
The ez tone, yeah, without comment, to the number of parameters I do not see the point to what looks good on the shot must be retouched later ...

SOUND QUALITY

For the effects it does not hurt, that's why I took it, connecting 4 cables with my head peavey ultra + ht or inserting my dual in the loop. Forget the wah, they are horrible compared to a real cry baby or even weeping in my ibanez.
Clean and crunch but rather flat power settings you get something pretty good and very readable, the distortion / od are ugly even if one or two reserve good surprises at all the same dynamics for the preamp ... I'm not even going to comment because the big words are banned ...
As said above it in the effects loop that stands out the best (or outdoors with a distal extra), the delay and reverb are relatively deep (do not use the spring reverb failing to obtain resonances dignent effect of a slice) chorus flanger etc. ... are goods and bring their grain.
He still tends to distort the sound of the amp a bit, adjusting output select is a ridiculous ... Have fun to go from one to another is like saying the MDR MIDI you switch from nasal to stuffed medium boss has forgotten that it is in the simplicity that gives the best compromise, the distal and ouput of ME25 are less invasive is the last straw ...
If that's your grain of its principal I recommend the line 6 which is well ahead of saturation in grain and other drives.
If it's for the effects welcome!
Forget the USB or direct recording output, c'test simply impossible to get a good rendering without fiddling for an hour or call on external plugin. My gear box is in front for a price of 50 Euros ... Shame ...

OVERALL OPINION

Two years of operation, it holds the road well and fulfilled its role.
I do it again this election (there is two years) because the effects are real, but value for money (for that I do not distos) settles the question ...
It is now obsolete, line 6 is the wedge, and if y 'means tc electronics is far above, there's also old Rocktron Prophesy who kill AAAHHHH!! or AAAAHHHHH ELEVEN RACK!!
I hate having 10 pedals in front of me with 10 to go in his manip solo overdubs, clear, rhythmic saturated, support ... etc. ... So yes it suits me more ...
It's your choice, whether it's versatility and not do anything with ....

This is the digital home boss. So without a history of a technical point of view.

UTILIZATION

Here I must say that this bike really surprised me. In 20 years, I had a cranks indecent amount of this kind and in all brands: Digitech, Boss, Zoom, Korg, Vox .. And every time it was taking head with endless menus and often a rather disappointing result. The GT-10 is ergonomically flawless blue screen and very relaxing, especially on stage (the spots of the same color are not widely used ...). EZ TONE ESPECIALLY THE FUNCTION THAT ALLOWS HER TO MAKE A FEW CLICKS.

SOUND QUALITY

The simulations are excellent, ditto for the effects! I play on a small Xaver types Floy and Swiss Army knife with two singles and a Bill Lawrence ouble ... It's crazy! Yes, I know, fans of the old blues would make a fuss but I will write anyway: this bike is sound, true! In fact, your fingers are perfectly free to express themselves and the ultra-compressed sound is never as usual on the pedals. Result: a monstrous, not typed at all, with that twang to crunch usually difficult to obtain. The overdrive (Vai, Young) are perfect, bluesy plans go smoothly and the only sounds are a bit cold for my taste. I must also say that I use so little guitar: I do not play on an amp but live on a mixer. And this one reason: the studio monitors are straight and do not color the sound which is not at all - but maybe not at all! - The case of guitar amplifiers and their only 12 inches. Result: You get a rich, full, well-articulated and even at very low volume. In fact, I was more than tired of having to redo my settings every time when I moved from one amp to another! There, more problems, the sound is almost always the same. Anyway, the master menu to refine the overall EQ of all patches according to the place ... Anyway, I recommend this method to all those who love the sound very clear and worked. Especially the delays become magnificent with the stereo effect (friends of Floyd, hello).

OVERALL OPINION

I did not do a long time but I already know he is not ready to leave me ...

See the descriptions available online ... Note: the loop S / R which allows you to use effects "4CM" (4 cables method: guitar input IN WG IN IN 1st group effects "send" to entry and therefore the amp preamp IN " send "the amp to" return "of WG IN second group of effects IN" return "of the amp).
In addition, you can assign this string to the left side of the stereo and send the right signal to another amp, through effects or not: the place of these is in fact fully customizable and the settings can get authentic stereo sound, including the "looper" (sampler) board. I record a rhythm often left on an amp and I play a solo on the right amp ... Or I read parts harmonized two amps at the same time ... GT10 only allows it from the products of this price range (POD X3L not developed in terms of the effects loop as I was able to account, and not giving RP1000 access to the stereo as far as I know).

UTILIZATION

As always with Boss, the manual is a model of inefficiency, based on the obvious and redundant. In contrast, the "easy" tone "directly accessible to the equipment will be very useful for beginners. Informed users discover their part that almost everything is customizable, with easy ... on (the transition from one screen to another was not obvious in all cases). I rather regret not having found many pots of WG8 on this model.

SOUND QUALITY

If they are correct, many effects are mostly convincing, with the eight guitars and six amps that I associated with them.
The machine seems to give the best of himself on amplifier tube if possible: provided that its high input / output are properly calibrated, it respects and honor the envelope dynamics of the original signal (my analog pedal in "true bypass" alters the sound so much I do not activate its input buffer, for example, the Zoom multi-effects I use Line6 or in parallel are not any better either).
Live console, it can provide but requires the addition of the side effects offsetting a priori very "generic" simulation (the "resonators" give such depth to the HP Virtual). I confess rather Line6 use to record, but more for convenience than anything else: the Boss is more dynamic and more responsive to changes in volume and tone on the guitar ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use the machine since its release, as I did before with the ME8, GT3, GT6 and GT8. In thirty years of practice, I could buy or try long many other things in recent years, many digital multi-effects and / or equipment modeling: POD.2, XT and X3L, Tonelab Desktop and LE, a Korg whose name is not for me, a photo, VOX DA amplifiers, Line 6 Spider Valve and Roland Micro Cube ... The GT10 is so far the heart of my "rig" stage because its flexibility is unbeatable.
The cliché that modeling amps "sound better" in other brands is true only if one does not go trials: like his predecessors and that the subject works with an open mind, the GT10 has the potential necessary to deliver realistic emulations in many configurations.
The commonplace according to which "it is digital and it sounds necessarily worse than the analog" deflates himself for who knows how to take and keep a minimum of critical distance: the GT10 does not sound notoriously " Digital "if it is set incorrectly (as in many factory patches, unfortunately).
Admittedly, my Cry Baby, Dynacomp, TS808, Big Muff, HT-Dual, phaser, chorus, and echo analog sound better than their clones in the GT ... but this difference is most noticeable on stage or even in a recording ... digital (and for good reason). I come and go between my analog pedal and the GT without one ever told me that my sound was too digital in the second case the results are actually very close.
Only criticism (though it is significant and can fuel many misunderstandings illustrated by some previous reviews) that the failure of its capacity for flexibility, the GT10 is still extremely difficult to resolve correctly in a given config. For most of the numerous parameters, the usable range is particularly narrow and does not illustrate what to expect the user to analog devices. Example among many: if the gain is mismanaged, the amp models produce an effect "Cocked Wah" (sound of a wah in a fixed position). We must develop strategies to overcome this defect, which it is hoped will be gone with the next GT.

SOUND QUALITY

I bought this Boss because I wanted an all-in-one solution to play in pubs.

I put it back in its box after two hours!!! And returned it to the store (30-day money back warranty).

You'll need to get your ears checked if you believe this unit sounds good!!!

I tried out clean, crunch and distortion settings.

I connected it directly to a mixer feeding RCF310A and tried out different amp simulations (JC120, combo amp, etc.). Although I tried every possible EQ setting, the sound was awful.

It sounds either too metallic or to dark. And forget the factory presets.

My old GX700 sounds much better.

I've already owned different gear: ADA MP1, JMP1, POD XT (awful, the POD v2 is ten times better), Johnson J-Station (not bad).

Currently, the best and not too expensive setup is a Tonelab with the speaker simulation of a Rocktron Replifex!

OVERALL OPINION

It's once again a marketing thing.

They packed the effects they developed in the last 10 years in a nice-looking silver foot board that you'll probably sell again six months later to buy a GT20.

(Originally written by Resty/translated from Audiofanzine FR)
Effects provided: virtually every effect. Connections: comprehensive. Editable: yes, see Roland's website and test it... 10/10.

UTILIZATION

Quite simple. Clear user's manual. 8/10.

SOUND QUALITY

Excellent sound (but not so good as a Rocktron Prophesy). Excellent clean sound. Big heavy metal distortion. Good factory presets but you can get better results if you edit all parameters yourself. You can add other effect devices. Very important: play with a good amp. With a 100-watt Fender or Peavey you get a killer sound. I don't like the sound with a 35-watt Marshall. It's normal, Marshall amps are not made for heavy metal freaks. 9/10.

OVERALL OPINION

Cons: Weight! Size (width). If Boss develops a multi-effect footboard with the same sound quality but half as heavy and wide, I'll give them an award. 8/10 because it's too heavy, too wide and a bit too expensive.
