The edition of sound effects or is it easy?
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Yes. I had rarely need rfrer me the manual. The possible variations are very many so it is easy to find personnaliss sounds and almost all standards are there, modifiable trslgrement dramatically. The rglages are prcis with a large palette.

SOUND QUALITY

<strong>Are the effects effective and sufficiently ADAPTS GPs?
<span style="font-weight: normal;">They are very good quality. Yes they are effective. Yes they are GPs. They are well-sr ADAPTS because it is really hard not to find what one is looking ... The expression pedal is really effective and enjoyable.
</span> What instruments do you use?
<span style="font-weight: normal;">I use a Mexican fender and frankly he emphasizes and respects the nuances of diffrentes positions of microphones. In short: great.
I also use a Epiphone les paul standard plus and even finding that with the stratovolcano.
From Gnrale Manire I would say it broadens the possibilities of normment two guitars while respecting their strengths (short it fulfills its role very well).

Purchased over Ebay from private seller in Chicago, USA
Updating from Boss ME 5 effects unit.
I paid $400 U.S for the unit.


Everything! Has so many effects which are preset and can also be modified by the user.
Patches can be downloaded from the Internet - especially from GTCentral - a great site for all Boss GT effects units, and downloaded into the GT 6 easily.
Amp and speaker configurations sound very much like the originals! I have owned a number of amps ranging from Marshall stacks to Fender and Peavey combos and the sound is very comparable.

Will just take a while to learn all the features but this isn't a criticism, more that I have to pull my finger out and spend some time with the unit!

Usual Boss quality - tough as nails construction and ongoing performance.
My old ME 5 unit is at least 15 years old and has been used live all that time and proved to be very reliable.

A great quality unit which is very affordable for all the features that come with it.

I'm really looking forward to extending the unit's capabilities ( and mine!)

I acquired mine for the usual $399.99 at AZ Music in Phoenix, Az.

Everything, built like a tank, easy to operate (DO NOT READ THE MANUAL...go to www.bossgtcentral.com), effects not seen on other pedals ie: defretter, bass ( A REAL SOUNDING BASS), mono, stereo, pan delays, and the list goes on, I can go on forever, read either other reviews or go to my favorite site, www.bossgtcentral.com.

Made in TAIWAN ?!?!?! Anyways, you would not know it judging by the sound quality, and ease of use.

Built like a tank, very excellent selection of OD/Dist, preamp....Mesa Boogie, Peavy 5150, trust me, you will love this unit, but YOU HAVE TO TAKE TIME TO LEARN THE FUNCTION CONTROLS as I did.

I really recommend this. Well worth the money. Only wish it came with its own gig bag.

I bought it in Mexico, it costed me around $480 so in USA it must cost a lot less

This unit is amazing, I've just bought it a days ago and a don't regret a bit of buying it, it has a whole lot of effects, amp models, distortions, we'll you wouldn't believe it.

Well I suposse it's a bit confusing starting using but this is logical, cause there are so much things to do with it, but nothing a little read on the manual wouldn't solve.

Very hard steel, everything is really well done, everything fits just in place and I dont expect it to break apart, ever.

This unit is marvelous, at first I wasn't sure on buying it or not, because although I have my Fender strat I don't have a cabinet or a very powerful amp, I usually play on my band's PA, but I am very happy that I bought it, it's just incerible, believe me.

I bought this from MusiciansFriend for $400

The range of sounds you can produce with this processor is daunting. It is possible to adjust almost every parameter of each of the effects you are using and save all the settings to one pedal. The BPM features allow you to set the master tempo for a patch and then base all of the rates of the master(delay on quarternotes and phaser on quarternote triplets and reverb on 16th notes). It sounds great. The digital out lets me plug directly into my soundblaster.

Apart from the standard effects (rev, dly, chorus, wah, od/dst) there are only two sets of effects, FX-1 and FX-2. You can't use more than one effect from a set at a time. Not a huge problem most of the time, but it does get in the way of the imagination sometimes.

Solid construction. Looks and feels like it will survive me stepping on it for decades.

For $400 I doubt you could do better.

I bought mine in a lochal music shop and it cost me 575 ying! I was fed up buying separate stompboxes that were costing me a fortune and needed a multi effects unit that was gig worthy and good enough for recording.

Unbelievable range of distortion wah and clean sounds. To buy all of the individual stompboxes on the GT6 would cost thousands nevermind all the amp types on it.

No, its perfect in every way.

This thing is so sturdy you could enter it in robot wars.

YOU NEED THIS PEDAL! It is worth every centy.....

I purchased my GT6 from Sounds & Systems in Kenora, ON. They had to order it in which took 2 and a half months! Haha...but it was well worth the wait. I did a lot of research before i made the decision of purchasing the unit. I ended up paying CAD$625.00 + tax.

I love everything about this unit. The amp models are incredible! They change the sound so much and are very detailed. I like the fact that you can tweak almost every setting on the unit. There are a lot of very useful effects..but on the other hand A LOT of useless effects. This is one of the best purchases I've ever made in my life!

The only thing i don't like about this unit is with the harmonizer effects (octave, harmony, etc) you can't play more than one note at a time...doing so will result in the unit making some wierd tones. One other thing i didn't like is how long it took to learn how to use it..i STILL don't know everything about it..and i'm sure i never really will.

As MANY other people have said...the GT-6 is built like a tank! I'd say this thing is virtually indestructable. That doesn't mean you go and run it over with your car or anything...but its built amazingly strong.

Overall...this unit is amazing! The great effects it does have add so much depth and creativity to your guitar playing. I love this unit and if i lost it or if it got destroyed...i would DEFINATELY purchase a new one ASAP. This deserves more than 5/5!

I bought this multieffect-pedal one year ago in an Guitar store in Hamburg-Germany. Ipaid at least 455€ for it. I bought it because I didn`t want to have thousends of single pedals.

It is an digital unit, but the handling is as easy as if it was an analog one. You have got milions of possibilities when you want to create a new sound by yourself. And there are also about 100 presets!

The only negative thing about it is that you sometimes get lost in all those effects you can use together. But if you understand that less is more you`ll have your fun with this pedal.

The Boss GT-6 has got the best quality you can imagine. You can probably jump on it and it wont get destroyed. One time a bottle beer fell on it and all the beer ran out on it, but no problem it is as useable as before!


The Boss GT-6 is the best multieffect-pedal you can imagine in all categories!!!!!

I bought this unit at Andy's Music here in Mobile Al.(also available at andysmusiconline.com )for about $395.
I play guitar for a rather large church and I needed an effects processor and amp sim. that could handle the large variety and styles of music that we perform every week. This processor also had to be able to handle accoustic and classical guitars as well as electric. After talking to other guys in my same situation,I landed on the GT6.

I love most everything about the GT6.It handles all the styles of music that we do very well. I am also very impressed at how it handles all my diffrent guitars with ease. The GT6 is extremly easy to program and set up. I have mine set up to work like stomp boxes. It's like having a whole lot of diffrent stomp box set-ups in one unit. I can set up my GT6 to work with any type of guitar I have to play,and apply the right effects,amp sim.,speaker cab and EQ
as well as some nifty special effects like Uni-vibe,defretter and even some synth effects.

It's too big, and Roland (Boss)does'nt provide any after market support such as patches and sound combos. They don't even have a soft case for it. Finding info on this thing is like finding hens teeth. I wis it were lighter and smaller,I have to use a rolling suitcase to take this thing to church.

Built like a tank. All steel construction,and even a kick plate. This thing will be here for a while. The quality of the sounds are awesome. Our sound guy noticed the difference almost immediatly.His quote was "man that thing is cool". We also send our church service out on radio and TV, and the sound lays real nice in the mix. The amp sims are right on, and very musical. The effects are genuine Boss,need I say more?

I would highly recommend this unit to any one who is tired of lugging all those heavy amps around, and spent all that time hooking up all those stomp boxes and having to deal with wall warts and batteries. Not to mention having to keep up with all those little hookup wires that are forever breaking,crackling and generally wreaking havock right in the middle of some beautifuly quiet song.

I was looking for a quality floor based multi-effects unit that would allow me to simplify my setup. Until now I have been using a rack mounted preamp with a MIDI control panel and few effect pedals tacked on to it. Having to set up and tear down was major pain in the @$$. I tried out a few others from other manufactures, but this one had the best sound and versatility than the others. The GT-6 allows me to do everything I did before and more in one floor pedal. I Paid $395 at Make'N'Music for it in Frederick,Md.

I love the sound and quality of the effects. I have used it through a couple different amps and straight into my mixing board and I continue to be impressed. The presets are pretty good also. It definatly has everything I wanted in it and allows me to do everything I want to do.

The manual lacks some detail and is hard to follow at first. I had to read the thing several times and fiddle with the unit before getting it. Once you understand the unit though the manual becomes a better tool. The foot switches are also a bit close, so I found myself bumping more than one at a time occasionally.

I have not had it long and have not travelled with it, but it seems pretty rugged to me. I dont feel like I need to baby it, but I probably will anyway.

I have bought several toys for myself through the years but this is the first one I find myself anxious to go home and play with some more. This unit is packed with a great array effects and sounds. It suits my style of playing so well I almost think it was designed for me. I am completly satisfied with this purchase. Between this and the Taylor I dont think I could have a better Christmas.....Happy Holidays.

I purchased this at a midwest store for $495.

The unit adds a richness to my sound that the individual stomp boxes by Boss didn't. I was thinking about buying new amps until I got the GT-6. No need now. My Peaveys sound great! You can store more sounds than you will ever need and if that happens buy another one!

The manual sucks, it sucks, it sucks, it sucks. Did I mention the manual sucks? More important is that I have had some difficulty duplicating sounds achieved on Boss' individual stomp boxes so I have kept them and still use them sparingly. The next model needs to be able to accept a signal from a stomp box and automatically duplicate the settings and store them for you. I would also like to see a unit that can be attached to a mic stand to manupulate the midi info for ex. I want to go straight to a patch program rather than sit with my foot on the peddle waiting for the number to climb from 1 to 40. Too time consuming. I also would like to see a hard case for the unit. $150 quoted for a custom job, too much!

No problems there, looks good on stage too.

Well worth the money. Makes an average guitar and amp sound great.

PAID $395, SAM ASH, NO PAYMENTS FOR 12 MONTHS. That helped. I bought this unit for the amp and speaker simulations.

This unit is sturdy. I was used to a ZOOM 505II but no complaints about that unit. I like the ease of use. I am easily frustrated with units requiring several minutes of wrestling. This unit has knobs!
If u like your setting... hit the "write" key twice and it's saved. Has wide range of effects that I would normally not use, but now I will! I do alot of recording and this has made it easier without alerting the neighbors.

I like everything. A case provided would be nice, but, I guess you can pick one up for under $25.

Beautiful color and construction. Great display. User friendly.

This unit gives you a wide variety of pre-amp and cabinet simulations. Would suggest everyone get one. Makes you wonder what is the next level of digital is going to be.
Though it's not the actual thing, why not try it like this:
Power amplifier and two 3-way speakers. This is my new gear. My ultimate stack.
You will set a new sound standard.

Now buy this unit. Hang out at the GT-6 yahoo users group.

Bought it in Romania for around 950 DM (Deutsche Mark) in November 2001.

24 bit converters and digital out (coaxial), the amp modelling is impressive and so is the wah. You have all the classics and you can make your own on top of that. A generous display allows you to name your patches.
There's a guitar synth that sounds quite like plugging your axe into that old Korg MS-20 (what a piece!), only this time it's digital, and you can choose the wave type, attack, decay, etc. And you don't need a GK2A divided pick-up.

I am not very happy with the manual but it is OK.
Also an "undo" button in the near future?

The moment you take it out of its box you know you can step on it. Very robust.
It would be nice to be able to buy a gig bag or even a case from Roland made especially for the GT-6.

My music is oriented towards jazz-house/ trip hop/ downtempo/ ambient and there is no effects processor that can give me more possibilities than the GT-6. I just love it. From classic sounds to "what-was-that?" type of thing, everything is inside. I am really surprised to get so much from it.
