Eloim « Complex but full of surprises »
Published on 11/11/13 at 12:32- Screen 1: A little too bright, it all depends on how it ages (I 2 and rendering is not the same from one to the other), however, the contrast is adjustable so it is job done, even from a distance, or when you need a white cane.
- Button 1 output level: Very wide adjustment range, between that and all other levels of volume (preamp, volume range ect ...), there is little chance that you could not get out of its this little box.
- 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'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'm a bit masochistic)
- 1 socket DIGITALOUT: Digital audio output (personal, never used)
- 2 MIDI IN / OUT jack: Programmer'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'll try ^ ^): Either we take the quick sound creation and operation of the device type (and it may suit some, I'm not criticizing, it'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'll try not to spread myself too much on the technical or I'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'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'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'm not attracted to any other type of equipment, which would allow me to have a more objective judgment
