All user reviews of 3/5 for the Boss GT-6

Multi-ground effect particularly robust, as usual at Boss. Compared to the predecessor, the GT-5, there are some new effects (more gadgets than anything else), a clearer menu through rotary knobs and a digital output to connect to their computer.

UTILIZATION

Use is fairly intuitive level, I made personal ignore the manual. Clearly you turn the knobs and the big wheel for menus, you select, it is tested, and we save, frankly it's relatively easy to use.

SOUND QUALITY

Come to the point, the sound!
I will not dwell too much on effects, but good as usual at Boss cold enough, personally I limited myself to the chorus and delay and reverb, and just in the big disappointment of the pedals: the distos! Frankly I have rarely heard anything so bad. I was glad that simulations of distortion pedals and I was very disgusted. We end up with saturation and distos unworthy, pasty and mired, sounding really transistor, and regardless of the sequence of effects, the guitar used, the amp or anything else (adjusting the sensitivity entry). The worst part is the simulation "metal box" that sounds like a bad wah wah and has nothing to do with the original (I did the test with real pedal), in short, a disgrace. Same for the amp simulations, accurate in all but pitiful for the Mesa Recto.

OVERALL OPINION

In short I who enjoyed the GT-5 Boss I can say that this has significantly decreased with GT-6 disappointing. It only remains to see if Boss will turn the tide in the field of modeling, where competition is not lacking.

Everything is said in other reviews. Time to move on ...

UTILIZATION

Advisories Newbie multi-effects: this pedal is complicated to take control. Already being jargon, it took me months. Then there 's so many possibilities that was quick to do anything, faith ex-Newbie.

Heavy to lug around, you have to manage a suitcase or wheel system as light and practical.

SOUND QUALITY

The reverb is not great, the magnitude of change is quite small I find it is not a stereo reverb pedal we can Chopper apart.
The delay is good, despite the fact that we can not resolve anything you want. for example by panning effect, the volume of delays or equalization is not possible, it's a shame ...
Simulations of distortion and preamp are varied, and one can find pure sounds. In my case c'set the guitar which is rotten and that keeps me from having a good sound. The default is that you spend time to find his sound, personal in several years because of a rotten guitar, I found no sound that suited me, far away.
FX2 bank is interesting but limited in customization, it was frustrating for me tree ... Slicer limited to a few POV 'patterns, which starts in autoriff testicle (riff altered since it recognizes a harmonic of the note played at Instead of the note itself, super ... perhaps have it like that on all els autoriffs shall we say), pedal bend useful to simulate electro bass sounds (the EQ is needed behind anyway). ..

You can not link some effects, this is one of the biggest flaws in my opinion. What a ridiculous idea to put two banks with different effects effects not treated, pfff ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years.
I like his strength, but the pedal is quite heavy. Its interface and its system of switch is very convenient for the stage, however, certain combinations are impossible, it's very frustrating.
I have not tried other multi, only single pedals.
The price today is super affordable, it decreased by 400% or something like that ... Part of what it offers, to OCCAZ not a bad choice, but not necessarily the best either, it depends what you search.

With experience I will ever not have that choice, a pod for distos, worst of simple effects pedals that I'm adding ... However, my gt-6 is fine for Mao, it's just when I have to lug it bothers me.
