    Boss GT-6

    Boss GT-6Published on 08/01/01 at 15:00
    Bought it on E-bay, believe it or not. Paid $350 for it new in the box. Couldn't wait to find it anywhere else possibly cheaper but I think I got a great price.

    The sound quality is amazing and the unit reaks of quality. Built like a tank like everything else Boss makes. I especially liked the wah modeling. Quite impressive to actually be able to hear the difference between a Vox wah and a Crybaby from a modeling unit.

    Nothing I've found yet!

    As I mentioned above, it's built very solid. This unit will take years of road abuse and keep coming back for more. Obviously, it's of a very high quality.

    Nothing to add from previous post

    UTILIZATION

    Very easy to use if one has already an idea of ​​what a reverb, delay, a phaser, a flanger, a harmonizer, one octave, gain, overdrive, etc.. This is not a tool for novices. It takes a certain culture of the different existing effects before embarking on the purchase of a multi-effects like GT 6

    I regret that this BOSS came out a little early to get patches to update the effects offered online ...

    SOUND QUALITY

    So if you play the Muse for example, we reproduced exactly the hamronizer (MK Ultra), the Octave (Solo Invincible), and almost all the effects Bellamy with his stuff out of berserk ... Octave is also close to what …

    I regret that this BOSS came out a little early to get patches to update the effects offered online ...

    SOUND QUALITY

    So if you play the Muse for example, we reproduced exactly the hamronizer (MK Ultra), the Octave (Solo Invincible), and almost all the effects Bellamy with his stuff out of berserk ... Octave is also close to what I heard, trying a digitech whammy.
    I confess, however, that the expression pedal configured whawha puzzled me ... after spending 3 hours on it, nothing to do, I was jealous of Joe Satriani and Kirk Hammett ...

    I use it with an Ibanez RG 470 amended (DP193 Air Norton in neck and Seymour Duncan SH4 in bridge). My amp is a Hughes & Kettner hybrid (lamp preamp) ATTAX 100.

    This configuration is also very good for metal.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 14 years
    I have owned a Zoom 4040 and have tried before an immeasurable amount

    Goodies: ULTRA is tough (it does not move during the scene even if you are excited), it can reproduce most of the effects used by guitarists from 1950 until today. Obviously the cost was divided by 4 since its release if one believes the argus?

    Cons: it may be a bit complex to use for a novice, the user community is small, and therefore it is difficult to share useful tips ...

    Well
    successor to the GT-5 that I owned, sold, resold and regret, we found almost the same range of effects with qq gadgets and more. (Uni-v,-shrink, auto-riff)
    We find the key to a guitarist, distos, reverb, delay, chorus etc. etc.
    The amp models are really good quality. I sold a DG-Stomp, preferring the sound and range of the GT-6. We find the marshall amps, Fender, Matchless, mesa-boogie, roland jc-120, Soldano ..... technology-based MSOC
    In section preamp / amp, dedicated knobs allow for faster edition. Very good point.
    The case is metal and the pedals are still strong.
    The power supply is external, which is a bit embarrassing (personally)

    In section preamp / amp, dedicated knobs allow for faster edition. Very good point.
    The case is metal and the pedals are still strong.
    The power supply is external, which is a bit embarrassing (personally)

    UTILIZATION

    Getting started is simple, as the old boss models.
    You can change the algorithm, ie the order of concatenation of effects, and it is a real plus!
    The edition sounds poses no problem, but it is true that I am used to pedal Boss long time, I'm not objective.
    The manual is simple and well marked.

    SOUND QUALITY

    It is certainly empirical, but to my ear, the effects are of excellent quality.
    The amp simulations are realistic, and you can get a lot of nuances of sounds with a single model of amp, playing on the presence, EQ, type of speaker etc etc.. With a good guitar (Gibson SG for me), the distortions produced truly react well when you lower the volume on the guitar or by attack of the pick. To fully realize, do not compare the sound of the GT-6 on a hi-fi side of a marshall, but rather a powerful sound and good quality.
    Distortions (pedals) are also fairly comprehensive. There are the classic at Boss, as well as simulations of Tube Screamer, Big Muff, Marshall ... Again, the result is.
    The reverb and delay are fairly basic, but very good. Any one can even adjust the cutoff frequency high or low, which helps to qualify the sound, and retain the clarity of the musical phrase.
    Other effects are accessories for me and I'm using that very little, I did not speak.
    Simply, those I can not find enough performers (there): The pitch shifter is not quite accurate, an octave pedal from Boss is more intelligible and less latency I find unfortunate.
    The effect UNI-V has a utility more abstract, but hey, if it is just great, why not. Same for the auto-riff.

    my amp simulations favorites are: Rectifier, Mesa-Lead, Match Lead, Tweed.
    The idstos: Tube Screamer, DS-1

    Note, if you try a gt-6, think the presets are bad quality because drowned in effects and reverb. It is better to start from zero to recreate the patches, with a more natural sound, enjoying the sound of the GT-6.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use me for 6 months.
    I love her, and especially the flexibility of routing, which lets you play almost plug and play for fans of the genre, or create sounds with extreme precision, according to the preference of everyone.
    I use a boss me-5, GT-5, a digitech gsp-21 legend and a Yamaha DG-stomp before it.
    The price quality ratio is very good with the current price when you consider that the GT-5 was costing a 5200 Fr era.
    I do not regret that choice.

    *** The effects are quality Roland (for me the best given the price range ...)

    *** Another expression pedal is very pleasant to use and wha wha are terrible!

    *** A careful reading of the manual is necessary to understand the logic ... Roland

    SOUND QUALITY

    *** The effects are really effective due to the quality thereof and the flexibility of settings.

    *** The preamps are effective and different from the logic "Line 6" In the sense that they are more neutral and are crushed at will in every way.
    We can cover all styles (from jazz to rockabilly through to the good old metal trash) simulations are realistic (in my taste, I had a Line 6 POD and I changed because I find that POD with you always even a grain of sound is something near and equalization are not very effective, and after testing the GT6 I found it more flexible and versatile SO close to that level of quality preamp. This is My personal opinion based on my tastes ....)

    *** To make comparisons, I used my Gibson Les Paul (Standard and Studio) a '82 GS, a GS 1275, an explorer, a flying V, A stratospheric rise Luckater Steve (2 singles, a double EMG) a Strato Deluxe, a Telecaster, a Peavey Wolfgang USA; to see the limits of each side devices and versatility sounds.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Having been an owner at the time when GT5 is released, I found that there was a marked increase in quality of sound on the GT6, the effects still legendary and my personal opinion on those who say that it sounds bad Preamps level is that they do not know how to use it.
    I advise those who want to make the scene as the studio.
    I sold my POD has limited the use of the studio and it gave me not only the surge of creativity that you can have on a GT6 (^ For one program while ...)
    Try before you buy it because everyone will not agree with me ....

    bought the GT6. It is on if you plug a guitar fun to above 500 euros and an output amplifier
    transistor you spoil everything and you are absolutely wrong!
    This goes especially to those who want to use the distortion pedal or she excels in
    really for the little one is a real lamp behind a stack (I have a personal tsl 100).
    The sound quality is amazing and modeling of distortion are of rare effectiveness.
    But once again he must have the material to its measurement and some practice any adjustment
    which is acquired only with experience.

    OVERALL OPINION

    The GT6 is for me (and for many) the absolute pedal guitarist demanding wants to have fun
    and acquire a tool of demonic power. The controls are a delicacy and astonishing range of sounds is simply outstanding under the ridiculous price. However, I strongly discourages this effect processor or the newbie who has an entry-level equipment and a limited experience since they will under no circumstances will operate properly and tried to shut himself sounds in the factory preformatted some of which border on nimportequoi effect.

    I love all the sounds I get out (but again the model is forward)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I board the multi-effects since it came out (or so) and keep in spite of my new material "pro".
    There's everything you need to correct budget.
    The only problem there is a guitarist qd-effects is that all effects are in the same block, therefore, impossible to cumulate and phaser whammy for example.
    I'm glad I bought this and the multi recommend for a person seeking a compact (not rack, lol) pretty versatile.

    Feature side, we have all the BOSS catalog available under the foot. all possible effects are there (maybe even too: auto riff, jsuis not convinced)
    the problem, as on many cranks is that the effects were classified into two groups FX1 and FX2 (eq, preamp, distortion, reverb, delay, qd is very aside) So, you guessed it, we can in use only 2 at the same time .. that's the big minus.
    extensive connection with digital output (which I use to save more ... there's no better is lossless), expression pedal very pleasant (though rather short)
    can connect to a PC by noon to set up and modify patches, brief is the big stuff

    UTILIZATION

    Settings .. one is tempted to say there are too many!
    tremendous possibilities in the setting of sound, everything is configurable as long as you have time, on the other hand use is very simple and very intuitive, because fortunately also saw the possibilities of the beast, it will emerge not.
    editing sounds is easy, moreover there are several factory presets for each effect (for fénéants) but for those seeking a truly beautiful, forget the presets quickly and pofinez yourself. it even has the impression, listening to some presets that they wanted to curb BOSS ...

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound quality ... I read here and there a lot of criticism about it .. I truly believe that those who criticize have only listen to the presets and were not trampled to look themselves ..
    c simply amazing. digital sound makes it perfectly (and more things can output type, it may be there also that was the problem for those who criticize)
    The sound palette is very rich ..
    just a little flat on some simulations (acoustic guitar and mic), not always very realistic but hey, better than what exists elsewhere, and with two more three effects, it goes very well

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for a year now and I do not regret my purchase and even if I want to change it soon, it's not a pedal to make the same kind (I'm tempted by a VG 88, but is not all the same thing)
    he is really on top in this range of equipment is the third pedal and it is by far the most successful and most flexible.
    WG8 leaving soon, he may decline in price so it is best to wait a bit but even in six months, this pedal will remain on top.

    UTILIZATION

    Initially, its use is not easy: you get lost quickly on the wealth of available settings. But after a while, it becomes more intuitive. The potentiometers used for the most basic settings are very useful. However, if you want a very particular sound, we must go into the details of the pedal, which is tedious, always makes significant number of adjustments offered by the GT-6.
    I especially appreciated being able assigned the expression pedal (and footswitch) and the pedal named "Control" in any setting: the distortion can be switched via footswitch and expression pedal varying the gain with it, or else change the delay time of delay with the footswitch and intensify the chorus with the pedal. You really feel that we can experiment with lots of stuff with this pedal.
    The effects are divided into several modules: a module dedicated to preamps, one for distortion, one for the delays, one for chorus, one for the reverb, a man named "FX1" and one on behalf of "FX2". "FX1" includes some effects such as compressor, limiter, a generator of feedback, while "FX2" contains a simulation of acoustic guitar, a microphone simulator (De microwave single humbucker or vice versa, for example) etc ... The problem with these two modules is that they can be combined to each other, but you can not activate one effect at a time in each module: It is impossible to combine a compressor generator with a feedback ... Too bad ...
    The manual is very detailed, it explains in detail how his personal GT-6 and what each setting ... Very complete, read in full and to keep at hand in case ...

    8 / 10 because the use must be very thorough to get sound that is desired and for not being able to use 2 effects FX1 (or FX2) simultaneously.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I play mostly metal in all forms, from Machine Head Dream Theater through Satriani.
    This pedal can be good for little that one would really look.
    Personally I use with the method of "4 wires" and my Peavey Triple XXX.
    I plug my preamp in "Overdrive" the GT-6 and rule on "external". My pre-amp is then used as a distortion pedal ... Although specific practice, and it allows me to push my amp too without being noisy, and this, by setting the output volume of the pedal to the minimum. I draw more than respectable results. Furthermore, as one can set the chaining effect, I placed my pre-amp (and other effects) that I want in my config '.
    The amp models are good without being exceptional: I do not think the resemblance to the supposedly modeled amps is striking. It is well recognized BOSS sound: it sounds a bit digital distos in, unless they spend hours to set up a preset again, it is not to do ... While the sounds may be clear in a few sublime time.
    The effects are excellent, though some are, I think, not very helpful (Ring Modulator, Slicer, etc. ...) but all that contribut to make this pedal a complete product. More needs to buy a pedal to 100 € to only use 30 seconds in a component; Everything is inside, where it would have required.
    Like all amp simulations, the GT-6 finds all his qualities when plugged into a PA system or power amp + speaker. Indeed, while offering several "formats" of output, it is in these two configurations that I managed to get a good result, especially plugged into amplifiers (the lamp warms the sound a bit and it gives more dynamic, same for the baffle, which gives more body to the sound).

    8 / 10 because the distortions are not great.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for almost a year, and I have not toured its full potential as it is ... Being able to connect to another controller (2nd expression pedal among others ...) can really sculpt sound ... minting a few hours of headaches with the machine. One senses the impression that this pedal is for the exploration of sound is very full parameter settings.
    The amp models are pretty fair, this pedal will agree very well with someone who already uses a distortion (amp, pedals or other) and looking for a good multi-effects pedal. Indeed, the effect is of excellent quality, we recognize the brand Boss easily: it sounds very clean, a bit too much for some.
    I find the value for money nice, but the distal (pedal and amp simulation) would contribute to improved.
    I also play on a POD XT and these two machines are very different: You have to see the POD XT as an amp simulator (with effect bof bof) and see the GT-6 as a multi-effects (with simulation bof bof).

    9 / 10 as very comprehensive and "evolution", excellent clean sounds, effects of very high quality

    The Multi-effects could not be more complete so it deserves a good 10/10

    UTILIZATION

    Attention, one arrives at a delicate point!
    It is essential to know the minimum characteristics of the effects as being extremely comprehensive, it is also very slow to take over ..
    It took me a good six months before I really walk in all configurations.
    For cons, the manual is very comprehensive and easy to read .. (Luckily for it must be the stuff a few times before mastering ..)
    However, when the grip is made, it is happiness .. Everything is possible with this multi if one has the patience ...
    I put a 9 / 10 to grip a bit long ...

    SOUND QUALITY

    So there he is drinking and eating ..
    I mean there's anything you need but also everything that we do not need .. (effects unusable even bigger trip imaginable ..)

    Level quality, I'll repeat myself but if they have patience, you get everything you want ..

    I use it with the following equipment: Hamer Centaura, Ltd EC-1000 Deluxe, Gibson Les Paul Studio guitar. The output of WP6, I pass by a Tube Preamp Hughes & Kettner before arriving in the Marshall combo.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for three years now and I'm still happy ..
    I especially like the side full of WP6: more investment to make in the effects ..
    I love her look, the next golden spring well on stage and powerful digital signage is welcome in light of the passages without indoor concerts ...
    I tried many multi-effects before I decided I must confess that Pricipals reason for my choice is the strength of the beast .. (All steel!) For moving a lot for the rehearsals and concerts: it is better the beefy!

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for about two years and I like his extended possibilities, I also use it for pop and rock music and spending time have I manage to get things in pretty good condition has not to put too much. I tried the vox .. SE .. or LE .. Finally, the model with a large lamp on it and it looked pretty in any case it looks tut! in this price range WG6 is a good multi-effects and I do not regret that choice!

    UTILIZATION

    To create the basic sounds it's going, getting started is easy. To use the full potential ... it is about even more difficult. It always respects a simple logic but the number of options, parameters and possible combinations is so vast that it quickly loses its nick-nack! I had to take notes for me back in my patch! Yet I am accustomed to this kind of stuff (10 years). And it's not the fault configuration, which, I repeat, is very logical.
    The manual does help, it is clear, complete and loooong ...

    SOUND QUALITY

    Regarding the effects, it sounds like Boss effects. As what the pedals. It's very efficient, clean, transparent. Basically it's nickel! Maybe a little lack of personality or soul .... But it is inherent to Boss. We like it or not.

    Regarding the simultaneous distos and amp, be careful!
    I think that we should not address this pedal and say: "I want a big distortion in the Mesa, so I choose vai Mesa preamp, trigger the red channel, to gain in depth, EQ V ... " ... and ... disappointment! Yeah. If this is what you seek, namely: simulated existing amps that you like, I suggest you go with Line6. You can easily find your happiness.
    No no no. Here to find a good sound, you have to say that every distortion, every preamp, each simulated HP, each effect is an "ingredient". It's up to you to combine these ingredients to find the sound you have in mind, and this, independently of the names of simulated. These do's are finally navigate, and not, necessarily be a carbon copy of the amp or pedal of the same name. Ok?
    Once we caught it, be tampering, and try to combine. And then, the GT-6 is a fabulous tool for creating your own sounds. And the possible range is huge!
    I play mostly metal. And I am fully satisfied with the sounds that I removed. The big, bold, precise, violent! I can do without! I used to live in the studio. I even recorded 2 albums with by plugging directly into the console! And the result has left more than one in the c.. !

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 5 years. Never had a problem. 100% reliable.
    What I love most: the sounds, opportunities, adaptability to any environment.
    What I like least: the color (black GT-8 is best).
    I have tried many others and I must admit that there are other products that are very good. But I found the Boss fuller, more successful, with more sonic possibilities.
    The report qulité money is excellent.
    I remake that choice without hesitation. Except that now I would buy the GT-8. And besides ... it's done! ;)

    very good sound quality preamps I never use the gt-6, so the clean is the preamp is wonderful
    I use several guitars for many different style
    Dean Ml for the Heavy and Power Metal
    Yahmaha a big drop 6 for metal (death, Speed)
    a Start for rock etc. ...
    and a semi-hollow body for rock and roll
    I cover almost all the styles I have to find a new distortion pedal because distos asser are not good for big heavy metal has its Iced Earth, Primal Fear,
    for speed and kind At The Gates or Bloodbath at the death I'll find a further distortion.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Well it still covers a lot every style of music and it sounds like a ton of bricks is the best multi-effects and most versatile I've owned so far so I am satisfied there will soon the gt-10 on the market it will try to
    (PODxt, POD 2.0, VAMP2, saving super computer to play on a crappy amp)
    (Korg AX3000G some good sounds but not the height of the gt-6)
    (Digitech RP50 HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA AC says it all)
    (Zoom G9.2tt very nice sound but not too aim VINTAGE asser modern)
    (PODXT LIVE is better than the PODxt bean version to play on an amp I still do not understand what the differences are but it sounds better to the ear)
