a multitude of effect,

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.
