All user reviews for the Boss GT-3

Everything has been said before ... There is virtually all types of effects that exist.
The connector is also complete. I used the stereo output, very nice!

UTILIZATION

So actually the GT-3 GT-3 then has the defects of these qualities: there bcp bcp parameters. What makes that one can almost any parameter, and thus get the sound you seek. on the other hand, well sometimes we spend a beating down on a sound to refine it.
After saying that the sounds are disappointing as some people say I'm not too much agreement. They simply need a good hacker.
The manual is cleir qd to him and complete, and explains the effects and parameters, which is not redundant!

SOUND QUALITY

Well as I said we can do almost everything. One point less for the special effects, besides the fact that they are useless is the latent period from tps qd rolls a little faster on the fretboard. But good honest, I do not see too how to use these effects.
I love the effects of modulation and delay, it is mainly why I took it.
Otherwise, you can edit sounds or by bank, is also its shape and its affect on each pedal effect, which I find very nice. Practice, because you can easily switch between the bank and have pieces for each pedal and different effects.

OVERALL OPINION

I for one year.
I think it is more aimed at people who recheche specific sounds and want to have on hand the main pedal for a cost far less important, all with quality COSM BOSS.
For the report with OCCAZ quélité price to 150 € is nothing wrong.
I hesitated between GT3 and Behringer bin I regret it because there were reliability which is an important parameter, if one wants to join the economies of the quality ...

Voili voilou!

Everything has already been said
a multitude of effect,
jack connector
possibility of using it as thanks to MIDI pedalboard

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple once we understand the fonctinnement machine (however, spend time, you can not necessarily say that it sounds as soon as we branch).

SOUND QUALITY

The quality is very different to the effects. The reverbs and delays are good, rather proper chorus, flanger and phaser the way but quite usable (if it spends the time) Harmonizer limit set but it does not answer (too), the wah is correct, the distortion enough cold, it is difficult to get a crunch sound warm (hard not to say impossible).
The possibilities of stereo sound very open horizons Simpati (tremolo and delay convincing stereo).
I do not use the amp simulation so I do not think about this.

As I said above, we must spend time to get sound. The factory sounds are really rough and sometimes limit full of breath.

The GT3 in my Peavey Classic 30 sounds great. This is not because the effects are of average quality that means it is bad (we've heard much worse). Taking his time trying the various possibilities of adjustment we arrive at something really clean. No problems on stage and in studio.
Bemol all the same, there is no true bypass, no matter what your sound is a colorful chouille.

OVERALL OPINION

Realistically, it is certainly not the TC or Lexicon (here we would play in the course sounds great) but for the price, there is no better on the market. Is found in everything we need, nothing is redeemed.
My rating therefore refers to Report Value for money is exceptional for a digital pedalboard.
For fans it's a very good compromise for beginners is just be a little difficult to understand but it may be a good tool for beginners.
In my opinion it exceeds any such race condition in this price range. The possibilities are royal shame that colors the sound a bit.
I use it for 5 years in the studio, in concert, in repeated, widely ac like the road.

This notice is valid for GT6 and GT8 I've tried and which are substantially the same, with small stuff setup in most, but basically it's the same thing.

Repeatedly described characteristics with ...

UTILIZATION

The setup is very good from the moment it was understood that this device is for: to be patient people ...

The number of parameters is quite large, we can really do precision work for the studio or stage. But you have to spend time. Afterwards, we had the joy of playing with sound on any sound you want. One branch, and it sounds.

Editing sounds is easy in principle. It will just repeat the same actions several times for different effects.

SOUND QUALITY

Effects (true: reverb, etc ...) are of good quality. C course, what is done today is better, but it may well record with this device made with a quite convincing.

The preamp simulations are generally well made, but it will look a little (lot) to find sounds better than sounding factory presets (some are very good, but other less straightforwardly. Ah yes, when I read some opinions on this machine, I wonder if the authors have indeed taken the trouble to settle the utility function of the machine ... The manual is well done ... enjoy it ... COSM technology works well, it happens to obtain saturations realistic and react well with changing settings on the guitar ...

The distortions are typically boss. We love you like it, but it is the same as distos sold separately.

The range of settings is enormous. Boss has scheduled a policy space of each effect to allow the effects wildest. That said, this machine can tell the difference in accuracy. Again (see my review Lag Roxane RS 1000 Cherry Master Shadow), do not necessarily put everything back ... and even less with the Boss.

The preamp sounds are too few, it is a regret, even if the twin is anyway well done and allows you to make good adjustments.

OVERALL OPINION

I possege this machine for about ten years.
It is robust, allows trimbalee be on stage, to take hits, because no lamp. Not fragile.

The quality is good, although at that time, ca 400euros hurts me anyway .. But that's another era.

In short this kind of machine is not for those who want to connect directly and have the direct sound. In this case, take a tube amp (or modeling).

If you are looking for something to make you a realistic sound bank in any circumstance, and you're ready ay take time, so it works for you.

The GT 3 begins to age, but it is still a surprise to me from time to time ...

Multi-effects pedal very comprehensive.

UTILIZATION

We must seriously look for them out of interesting sounds. Sure for the impatient beginners, it is better to abstain. It is important to know the effect parameters in advance, or have a good ear sharpened.

SOUND QUALITY

The main effects (Chorus delay flanger phaser) are very good at distortion / OD, you need a light touch but is very acceptable. Effects such self riff humanizer psyches are funny ... but that's it! But the problem remains the same patience padawan ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have this pedalboard for 8 years I think, when it came out.
I appreciate are design, strength (not a problem).
His grip is still complicated, but the parameters are also very many ...
I have not tried other models at the time, I started and the seller was good!
Priced at 140 euros argus, I do not resell it for sure.
With experience at a bargain price, I would do without hesitation the same choice!

Boss multi effect in the first of the GT range, non-editable pc, but few use it as a midi controller.

UTILIZATION

So it's really not simple at all, editing is as easy on the multis, but if you fancy creating your sound is another story.
the manual is too long and knock out, I drop it, it is far from the box stomb

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are good, it's the boss, like most many are decorative effect, but it remains

OVERALL OPINION

I've had 8 years, it was my first multi-and first effect, connect a 20watt Stagg raahh the time it dates me all that ... I was 12 years. I try the zoom of the time and it was from there that I wanted a multi purpose and for my birthday my mother bought me this one of OCCAZ, the guy to buy a Bradai any lamp.

it is a good multi, I keep it in a corner now, I do not want to part with it even though I no longer used.

If it now I'll not do it again, but for fun yes

This is a multi-effects pedal made by Boss. I don't know why I ever bought it, to be honest. I was young, I guess, is my only excuse. There are two 1/4" connections, a direct out, and a MIDI out. It is 100% digital. This pedal can be edited with MIDI though I don't really do that much at all, so I can't comment on how well it works compared to other pedals with this feature. It doesn't really need it so much as there are presets available on the pedal.

UTILIZATION

The one cool thing about this pedal is that it's pretty great to use if you put some time into programming it. There are 4 presets that are available by simply pressing the corresponding switch on the board. There are also two other switches that can be programmed to make other changes, like triggering specific effects. Last but not least, there is an expression pedal which can be used to adjust the effects settings in real time.

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal has very bad sound quality, in my honest opinion. I try to see the good in pedals, even if they aren't suitable for my taste, but I just find that this pedal doesn't really have any sounds that are good. The wah-wah effect is really weak, anemic, and boring. The chorus and flanger effects are really bad at coloring the tone badly, and the effects don't really cut through the mix. The distortions are god-awful, to be honest, as is to be expected of digital distortions. Only the delay is tolerable, and even then, it's digital, which will not be a good bet for fans of analog.

OVERALL OPINION

While the interface is great, and it's easy to switch between effects and to adjust them with the expression pedal, I really do not think that this pedal is worth it for anybody except maybe a beginner who has no effects. Some people just play for the fun of it, and aren't that worried about tone, but for anybody who takes tone remotely seriously, this pedal (along with many others like it) are not going to be appealing. I know that there are other guys who disagree, but being a studio musician as well as a recording engineer (and therefore seeing it from both angles), I happen to think that these multi-effects pedals are a perfect example of quantity far outweighing quantity. As someone who performs live, I can see that the tone simply doesn't do my playing justice, and I don't think that anybody should buy a pedal that makes them sound worse than they are.

- a great bunch of effects

UTILIZATION

- Présets configuration is really easy. There's is also an EZ edit for even more quickness.
- The LCD screen and the effect chain diagram are well designed: in one look you see the active effects

SOUND QUALITY

- classic effects are ok, but it seemed to me that they sounded différent than the boss pédals.
- you can also find some "exotic" effects like the feedbacker, accoustic simulator etc. Some of them are cheap and some are really interesting (like the accoustic simulator used with the pickup simulator)
- Hated the "tube heads distorsions simulators", sounded thin and lifeless to me (Probably my fault: at that time i connected the GT3 in front of a transistor amp but didn't set the 3 band EQ as the manual advice)

OVERALL OPINION

- been using it for 2 years
- clearly designed for live applications, built like a tank.
- a cool all-in-one multifx, cheap nowadays
