The boss gt5 is a multi effects pedalboard together many boss pedals and an amp simulation and hp. effects are available: feedback / slowgear, compressor / limiter, wah, distortion, equalizer, delay, chorus, tremolo / pan, reverb. There is also a section where you can choose between any of these effects (and yes only one, the problem comes first!) Harmonizer, flange, phase, sub equalizer, short delay, humanize, ring modulator, tremolo, acoustic guitar simulator , guitar synth.
Also, there is a loop insertion FOR A distortion, but you can put what you want BECAUSE chain of effects is placed in the order desired ...

UTILIZATION

Frankly I have been slow to understand everything, but because I am a lazy and dirty that it took six months before I open the record and come to me the holy revelation! Damn but it of course! ... Basically you have to force a little to eat anything during the manual .... 2 hours while a break! And we control the multi purpose. The manual is very clear. Boring but very clear. Editing sounds is easy. And general configuration that can impress a novice, is quickly extinguished.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects section has merit. We find the sound of the boss pedals. At least in terms of classic effects. The inverse delay is almost unusable because of a "click" that keeps coming with each repetition. When the effects crazy guitar synth as the same. Do not think having a synthesizer in buying this gt5 ... in this area is really quality "Gadget".
That said not much was said about the other effects that are mostly of high quality and flexible as desired.
Maybe a bad note for the compressor but what effect has a multi compressor worthy of the name?
As for the amp simulation ... What about ...? He took a shot of old I think. It is better to see what gt5 like a very good multi effects and go elsewhere with regard to the preamp and simulation hp. Not that bad to be away from, but we are still not in the presence of a quality that can offer a pod or better ... a real tube amp!
So here I note the sound quality of effects ... I do not care about the amp simulation.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this gt5 for 4 years, it allowed me to tame all kinds of effects. The effects are almost all very good. To me the amp simulation and hp is now over.
The quality / price was just at the time ... I would do certainly this choice elsewhere. But at the time! ... Today I look rather for the pod but this is due to my personal evolution, I attach more importance to the quality of the sound effects as such.
I recommend it to all those who already have an amp or a good simulator and who want to use tons of effects of quality.
