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 ...
