I used my GT-5 for several years directly connected to a power amp and a 1x12 cabinet. "And it is clear that it was sorely lacking warmth and dynamic ct pramp . However, the effects, for their part are plutt correct, efficient and enjoyable. In any case, they are so they will appreciate the color Roland / Boss, as they are all m ^ m enmpreints enough of that identity.
