All user reviews 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.

I dwell not on it almost everything has already been said

UTILIZATION

I use it with my Gibson Les Paul Custom, strato deluxe 76 and my js 1000 connected to a Marshall stack
TSL 100 8X12.Nikel, the pedal is a true tank I use it on stage for weeks and it is a
robustness! Operation is logical and intuitive but requires a true
personal investment to capture all the subtleties of adjustments.

SOUND QUALITY

Given the Post quoted pre SERIOUSLY I wonder if half or know only played one really
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.

Fairly complete in certain respects, at least at his level.

I just have a question for the author of last post, it seems imaginus? Did you really look like you realize the value of things, tell me. While this pedal at a ridiculously low price compared to the pro stuff, but for your gear and your arrogance towards those who have less, I have the impression, even if not necessarily the case, you're more a son to dad coming out of pocket money from his parents, someone who has toiled for a living ...
However, you can tell me this is not the subject of this site ...

UTILIZATION

Once past the discovery, std functions are fairly intuitive, so good. The settings are in their entirety within easy reach. This does not mean that getting the perfect sound is easier ... But hey, that's normal, otherwise it would be accessible to everyone ...

SOUND QUALITY

I confess I do not myself leaning on the block distortion, which seemed nice anyway. I was looking for this pedal and other effects Harmonists, and ranges are not included the difference between the minor and major which is annoying at times ...
Nevertheless, everything is manageable.

OVERALL OPINION

Ca va. Compared to the model ME 50, of course there are differences ... The value for money depends on where you buy it. In France it is between 485 and 676 euros that I saw. Cheaper in the U.S. but beware of differences in voltage, the BRC separate adapter is not so easy ...

Well then, after reading quite a bit of advice I give you mine ... J 'had a boss ME 10 years ago, and here I am amazed ... Sleek metal and gold paint, it's all said BOSS!!
A special mention for the knobs that are a delight in the genre. Level connections, there is everything, midi in / out, 2 outputs, headphone jack, send / return, external ... I almost forgot: very well knob output level of the GT 6.Bref, super quality ...

UTILIZATION

Say that the WG 6 is easy would be lying ... No, it was for everyone, but it will be easier for those who already owned a multi-purpose ... The edition sounds remains easy and the manual is to assist and master the beast. I prepared some small sounds clear, hum! I ordered the GT MANAGER software that enables the exchange patches with other DS users and edit patches directly via the PC.

SOUND QUALITY

I was a little afraid after reading reviews, etc. at the disto ... Frankly, there are some who make the difficult ... It has everything and for all! Between the speaker and preamp section, the pavement distortion / over ... Pff! Fuzz, distortion, over, metal, crunch, blues all the world bosses and even distortion of legends bigg muff, tube screamer ... The rest? Effects of all beauty, all is! A big congratulations to the section distortion / overdrive. I use the GT with a six and a Charvel surfcaster ... G25R park (I know, I know !!!).... True, there are some patches of plants ridiculous but fortunately good too few.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two weeks and frankly I hesitated, I am very pleased with this purchase. No regrets.
I bought OCCAZ € 400. The value for money is what it is but it is better for a GT 6 ME 50 accaz a new ... You have everything and more, try to buy all the effects you want a price pedal ... If I regret not having been able to try a vox TONELAB SE ....

Well the config is obvious I'm not going to redescribe.
Only thing I like is being able to control another device with MIDI (but I make hacks capilotractés).

UTILIZATION

Its super intuitive, so no need to know thoroughly the instructions on it.
Everything is very accessible thanks to the wheel and associated sliders.
For usability I see nothing to say it is very good.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are quite good although a little less than a crystalline TC Electronic.
But it is well made I trouve.Le preamp is also remaining fairly bon.Ca modeling but Bossant well above one arrives to obtain super resultats.Je used before entering into a JCM Slash and j ' Grab a Mega distortion but also dynamic crunch and deep cleans.
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.

On paper a very interesting product: almost the entire catalog BOSS underfoot, amp simulations, MIDI outputs, a huge bank of sounds (I do not know how many hundreds ..), all for a price very affordable.
All classical effects are available and configurable as desired.

UTILIZATION

The grip is a bit long at first, but the beast is tamed easily. Use quickly proves very intuitive, and the large number of buttons available helpful. I would say that after 2-3 weeks to paw the doc and tweaking the gear we are very comfortable.
After it is easy to sound rude in a few minutes, fumbling a little with all the buttons. For the rest no mystery, we must spend some time on a very large number of parameters to get exactly what you want, but that is unchangeable, regardless of the stuff

A big flat on the other hand: effects no "classical" (ie other than reverb, delay, chorus), are grouped into 2 groups, and can not be used at the same time 2 effects of a same group! Immediately this limit ... but we live very well in the end. Moreover, some effects are pure gadget (auto riff, c'te joke ....)

Another detail quite negative: 99% of the sounds of plants are zero to shit ... not necessarily very important, but sad for the grip because it is better to restart from scratch to be a sound , rather than reusing an existing sound. Given the number of submissions, they could make an effort ...

The manual is very complete (even downright off-putting), and French.

SOUND QUALITY

I used it alone, connected directly in the feedback loop for 6 months (to play the Metal). The verdict is mixed: the effects are very good and very comprehensive, with a number of parameters very comfortable. Here where the low is on the amp simulations. Much be clear: your GT-6 does not sound like a Dual Rectifier ... The GT-6 is true to the mixed reputation in BOSS distortion: it lacks a little body, sounds quite electronic. By exaggerating a bit you could say that all distos "heavy" end up resembling closely or remotely to a Metal Zone.

Since I use a H & K Warp on the outer loop, and there are no pictures ... my old distos sound like a tape recorder next to the 70s. The small additional investment that makes the difference ...

[edit] little comparison that hurts: I just invest in a POD, all I am sorry to have kept it as long WG6 ... Besides the POD XT, the preamp section of WP6 is simply ridiculous. Also add that the headphone output is also very poor quality.

OVERALL OPINION

First a value for money very interesting for those who have no intention to spend a lifetime to buy the whole catalog BOSS. Getting started is simple and effective interface and well thought out. At the sound, do not expect to go an entire studio with a GT-6, the amp simulations and distos remain fairly cheap. The best compromise is to my mind to invest in a good distortion pedal if you want a big sound (and not a BOSS ...), and combine it with a good amp. on the other hand effects are nickels.

WG6 is actually just a MULTI EFFECTS, that should be used as such ... for its effects, as preamp. Anyway it is expensive at once ...

If it all over again, I probably spend more time trying the equivalent models from Digitech (GNX 1 and 2), and especially the POD XT Amp simulation for correct!

>> The BOSS GT6 multi effects pedal is. At first it was quickly seduced by the preprogrammed effects, they are simply beautiful and unlike what you say, (>>) it does not sound digital (although a bit but it's a multi effects therefore necessarily It consists of digital source) it approximates very well the analog sound, except for the types of effects that is the search for strange sound worlds ...
>> It is possible to find on the internet effects plug-ins to add to the many (many) potential of the pedal.
>> The tool is connectible susprésenté at noon (computer effects rack noon, etc. ..), to the digital (sound card type, pro or Exanum, etc. ..) (Brief entire digital portion) and from analog (your amp prefer, head amp, all sound cards, in short, all the rest)

"I therefore have no shame to be 10/10 at this chapter

UTILIZATION

>> All of which is very clearly explained in the manual Boss GT6. After reading two or three chapters of this manual, you pedalboard interface seems very clear right away, what else is on instinct.
>> In publishing still no problems (do not forget your manual small). I would go further by saying that every shot or buttons that each effect is an adition new discovery, wonder and some personal satisfaction

"No hesitation tjrs 10/10

SOUND QUALITY

>> What a wonderful invention that is the BOSS GT6 ...
> All there! ultra realistic effects (acoustic guitars, clear sound basic, its crunch, distortion of base, etc. ..), the effects rock (distortion punk 90 '70' 60 ', metal distortion, ultra heavy metal, fuzz), the effects reggae funk (auto wha, wha wha (expression pedal), mhy wha, wha talk, his clear / crunch), the effects jazz / blues (crunch, clear bass, clean phase), basic effects (phaser, distortion, EQ (which is not really an effect), chorus, reverb, delay, and so on) and the effects chelous (gate, cut, synth, and lots of other weird stuff that melts CEZ weird

>> I play it with a Fender start, tele, les paul copy pro aria from home, two ibanez type FM and SA for the past 2 years (still Facin

"Let me guess: p 10/10

OVERALL OPINION

>> It's been exactly 1 3 / 4 I have a GT6 and it'll be 2 years that this pedal gives me alluciner
>> I prefer this pedal is the soft buttons and the expression pedal (a real treat
>> I had to make 5 to 10 stores and a dozen test model before taking the GT6 (it's hard for a student to take the GT6

>> The question "With experience, you would do this election?" I answered without hesitation (well it depends on the head of the portfolio

In any case know that it's been 5 years since I played in a group and 6 of the guitar and I've never been so satisfied with the electronic equipment with the BOSS GT6

friends but I'm not going to prolong the suspense 10/10

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.

See what has been said

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, just dig a little
a very good point, adjustments are made using potentiometers
to go further, a small reading the manual is enough
Ergonomics is very good

SOUND QUALITY

Arf, sounds ...
with a little time and research is my faith comes easily to find the right sound for both sound clear as for lead
Crunches are just saturated realistic enough, but the large distortion with grain and dynamics are not at the appointment, or he will be content with a basic sound quite impersonal.
After all, it's a matter of taste
Not that the sounds are bad, far from it, but even so, other overdrives and distortions are not very dynamic and biting
For example, the simulation of the overdrive is really far away from home OD3 Boss (OD1 and even, for having tested)
Similarly, the fate MT2 sound better than average, worse than the original (unless using a simulation-type fender, and touching up the equalizer with sub)
I find the amp simulations rather unequal (rather good for the fender, pretty average for the mesa, and disgusting to marshall)
Nothing to do with POD
But the effects are not bad and with great skill, you come to get decent sound, which justifies a rating of 7

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for over 2 years and then I resold for gain pedals (which I believe provides the best sound, despite the inconvenience, including Blast tap dancing for BTAC ...)
For the record, I bought a POD 2.0, which is far better in the simulation models
I would do this election?
Of course, without hesitation, to the extent that it was all in one with a wide variety of sounds and effects of quality for not very expensive, but after the acquisition of a tube amp, it's just a pity using this type of machine, if only to remove any dynamic amplification and sound "factory"
I therefore recommend it to a guitarist who needs an all in one not very expensive and not looking at any price 100% of expressiveness

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

As its name suggests is a multi effect pedal that combines the most important effects for guitar electrique.Il contains a noise of a large compressor with distortion pedals of a pro co rat or Guv'nor. He also modeled pretty basic amp and any provision baffl.Il is rich enough and I think can seduce some fairly demanding user.

UTILIZATION

Mieu newbie user to do nothing! In fact the effects have many adjustments that would give a bitter taste in debutant.Mais if we have the level for the master password is a good time of happiness with him!

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are quite good but it's a multi effect pedalboard and the effects are not digital and analog (printed circuit board with resistance ...) so the sound looses some of its roundness but we forgive him quickly.

OVERALL OPINION

Useful since I 2 weeks with a gibson SG and a standardized behringer amp AC 112 and he is welcome in my personal stuff! Input is good on stage but I pence for studio work nothing beats a good pedal but true on stage is much more so after each practice his choix.Moi he convinced me it does not necessarily appeal to everyone especially those who lose total beginner in the complexity of adjustably value for money is good enough I pence and that I will take it if I lose everything!

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!

Well, I will not dwell on this, all know him!

UTILIZATION

Once you read the manual, so you have time because there are lots of parameters, no it is not difficult to use. the manual is very clear but given the amount of good info ...

SOUND QUALITY

The qualities of the effects depends directly connections! plugged directly into a PA system is sour without magnitude and one wonders if it's not a joke in bad taste .. plugged into an amp all the sounds are very good quality and in a tube amp is even better but you have to redo all the sounds, the factory sounds are not .. er .. they are a bit .. er .. Finally, you need all redo and have obtained really good sounds! I use the preamp Fender for blues and sounds are very close to the original evidence for comp What he has done or is difficult to tell the difference between the hot rod and my first guitar cnfig GT6, Hugh & ketneer and blade with seymour duncan.

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!

Everything has been said before, in an abstract digital multi-effects pedal with expression of good mouth

UTILIZATION

It is true that we must study it before you can use to its full potential .... but if one has the habit of multi-effects and we already know the parameters of the effects ... beh .... and we are surprised to have to type in the manual to access all parameters after it is happiness .... compared to other muli-effects in this range, which may sound be better, there is the possibility of combining the effects that I find amazing ... for little techie sound of the search will inovation can spend hours building a patch .... but what happiness .... ...

SOUND QUALITY

I never use disto.s .... and I welcome .... albeit a good guitar and good amp it can be enough, but it's true that this aspect of the emulation does vale not the boss pedal ..... or a good amp
I also ignores the simulation models (my fender performer 1000 does not deserve it), or micro ....... and then just use it for combination effects.
In his clear, I think it rocks, the FX1 paramettre (compressor ... limit etc) are accurate, the very operational delay, reverb perfectly acceptable ..... and the panoply of well-FX2 Alucine .. ... For me the highlights are the flanger, phaser and Uni-V ... this latter effect is really interresting ... to recreate small sharp saturation without crunch or to be compared to a phaser and less sweet, less round .... short for what I use as indeed .... it's really OK

OVERALL OPINION

I've had more than 2 years, and since I play on my Fender amp and I use the loop (with 3 mono cables), I skipped all the simulations preamp ....... and I am delighted. To benefit, you must love to take the lead to create its sound, but I think it's worth it and that its use makes it very fun .... I purchased new in its output a little but .... expensive at 400 euros (price nine boards at the moment) I know better. I think that this material does not correspond to the musicians who seek its all done .... the quality of this material must be worked ............... in summary, two major flaws: preamp distortion and simulation .... the rest .... for better, buy an effects rack or a good twenty pedals (good luck fred aster)

See the manual is good and other notices. There's too soon to say but:
amp simulation, distortion, modulation, noon, ... Produced a fairly complete in terms of possibilities

UTILIZATION

You should know cling to use the beast. The edition, however, is easier I find a g-major example. The bracket format makes it possible to have more buttons. The parameters are enough for each section.

I regret the lack of firmware updates that could add options to the GT-6 (some competitors are listening to reviews and updates based on requests).

Otherwise what is to the south (since I began using it as a controller), do not expect to do everything. There is the patch changes, a control pedal (again, a problem, it sends 127 when it is pressed, 0 otherwise. No possible trigger ... pity we can not set this up), additional control "under" expression pedal. Good thinking but you have to put all its weight to trigger the button. Impractical. And finally an expression pedal. It seems rather well. Although his curve is not adjustable (that said, you can play on the calibration of the latter if it is really necessary).

A good point I confers and makes me regret not to use it as a midi controller: The expression pedal. She served as the control for volume and other violonings and I was really delighted.

SOUND QUALITY

I used two different ways:
1 - live in PA (no amp so). Tendency to feedback, modeling but sometimes moderately convincing effects of good quality for the price.
2 - With an H & K tube 50 (4 cable assembly for use distos my amp). The sound improves as it goes especially for modeling and distortions that are not at all to my taste. However, the sound loses badly in dynamics. Maybe he should spend more time on set and be fussy but suddenly you spend more time fiddling to use and it is not easy to be spontaneous enough when looking for her.

That said, for the price it's still okay. For less than 500euros, we have a range of sounds admittedly difficult to adjust to get a good sound, but it remains very wide.

OVERALL OPINION

I see already some criticism that I may do: Connect a multi effect at 500 euros on a tube amp that is at least as much. I prefer to buy a multi initially not knowing what to buy as an effect (so for beginners, I recommend such products. The sound quality is not the priority when it starts. It learning). Then I bought my 50w tube amp and I spent distos and models of GT6. it allowed me to have a more homogeneous in concert. Now, I use the GT6 to control a g-major that passed me. This really respect her more. And since I use almost more than modeling, my sound no longer enter the GT6. I use it temporarily as pedal noon but he did not meet my needs in this use ...

Oulala, pity for the effects list, thank you visit the site of Boss.
Here are just a few very useful features that other multi-effects may not have:

-1 Programmable effects loop
We can change the sequence of effects (their location in the signal chain)
-Insert into the chain of effects preamp distortion or external
-Settings "Master" who can adapt the GT-6 to its environment without having to change patches

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!

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.

Some preamps are quite realistic it takes time and patience to get a good find the right setting that is desire.les distortions sound great on a tube amp we feel the grain of each different distortion on a sound system that also n No one is quite more with less reverb grain.les are very beautiful and very realistic effects of the modulation wah sounds are superbes.les are very clear propres.j pedalboard uses a peavey deuce in light of 1975 and a stratocaster japonaise.pour who is looking for big sound no problem with a micro well pechu

I used last year. superb sound on a tube amp j'd try a zoom and a line6 al opportunity for the price we must not hesitate indestructible stuff of a very sturdy little tricky at first for the program while the effects

Everything has been said
lack of good disto

UTILIZATION

Asser easy even without a manual that can cope well even when

SOUND QUALITY

Very good sound quality but the amp simulations are not very good I think the presets are not the flavor of the day (too classic for me!) I use two configs on the first amp is a Peavey Deuce VT hybrid (4 lamps to Poweramp 6L6) I like it
very good sound when using the (effects loop) but also by not using simulations preamps ago so her coloring is not (true bypass) but is still better than the PODxt for section effect (I do not use simulation amp when I play on a real amp) second configuration Hughes & Kettner Attax preamp and a Peavey Classic Poweramp 50/50, a Rocktron 1x12 cabinet, again in the (effects loop) of Preamp
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)

we have all the classic effects, Delay, loadings, flanger, chorus, reverb, wah-wah + all others (Harmonists, compressor, defretter, phaser, pitch shifter .... and others ...).
can create up to 340 possible combinations.
there are 35 banks users (where you save its settings) and 49 preset banks.
not a rackmount model.
technology is digital, connectivity is both audio (for the amp is wired) and noon (for the pilot?).

UTILIZATION

For my part, I have not found a simple a priori, he must still spend time to understand how it works (especially the creation of presets), once the main achievement, we go merrily!
I read the manual, I think it is very logical and a bit messy, I personally would not have write like that!
editing and sound effects is easy from the moment you pass the time necessary to learn how to grasp the pedals.

SOUND QUALITY

effects are effective and well-realistic, I think including phaser that I liked.
but we must spend time to understand how this pedal, I personally prefer the BOSS pedal format and are easier to understand and gives a sound effective more quickly.
I plug my good old Ibanez RG in!
I liked the sound of the phaser, flanger, delay, reverb, sounds clear, sound fender.
I found the overdrive did not fall backwards!

OVERALL OPINION

I bought 5 months ago.
I was previously the line6 pod X3 live and it's not the same sounds and not even how to manage the effects and the line6 sounds flat next to the BOSS.
I love the most, the color of the pedals, sounds clear slap fender, phaser, in its effects loop, a certain ease of use once mastered the beast, the robustness of the pedals, the colors on screen controls (on the line6, it is monochrome).
I like the least, the weight (although heavier than the line6!), the overdrive should know ... set
For me, the price / quality ratio is indisputable, and I find it excellent!
with experience, I will turn to something else or a combination rack power amp + preamp + FX and all the tube in a flight case for easy transport, or consisting essentially of a foot pedal analog or try the Vox ToneLab, TC Electronic G-system or innovative system, and finally all but this pedal!

Boss GT-6:
The effects available are enormous, everyone can be heard by the pros, the real-time adjustments ment considerable increase the sonic possibilities of the pedal.
Level noon, I did not even try.
COSM technology, we believe it, go up a little volume on your amp LZS close your eyes and take you for Santana, Satriani ...
This is not a model but rack effects pedals

UTILIZATION

General Setup practice but not stored in a defined order, ie the 340 programs are in order fully "crock" but the editing of sounds is very easy, unfortunately the manual is in English, we await the French manual but between us, I opened it twice, just to know how to edit and create sound.

SOUND QUALITY

My guitar can finally speak, the effects are quite real, distos are great, sounds clauirs too, then that - I hate?

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 days, the expression pedal and amp simulations of hp are superb, I have not tried many models before tournament he's not far from ten but I was not convinced, while there, the sound quality is exceptional.
The price is very decent for its competitors: 3500F
The experience is so far short but I think I made the choice bopn

This pedal has virtually every effect you can think of. It has some of the wierdest effects like the Auto Riffs built in along with the classic choruses, flangers and phasers. There are also a multitude of amp models and distortion types. It cannot be edited through the computer, and there are input/output, output mono, and other plug-ins. As far as I know, it is not rackable either.

UTILIZATION

It is very easy to find everything and turn everything. The effect presets are selected by turning the dial, and edited by turning the knobs. It takes some time getting used to the effect editing, and the manual comes in handy to get great tone and effects out of the pedal. The manual describes pretty much everything about the pedal, and is over 10 pages long. It significantly helps with the editing, as it gives you tips to make better effects.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects on this range from totally outrageous and unusable to the essential guitar add on. The distortions and modulations are all usable in there own way, and the effects and delays are all there to choose from. There are several kinds of wah, and the ability to create your own, which can be cool. The expression pedal is all there and can be assigned to a multitude of tasks. I bought it for my girlfriend and she uses a Ibanez RGX20 through it. I can't stand the Autoriff feature, but other than that, all 340 effects are really nice.

OVERALL OPINION

We've been using it for about a month, and the effects are really amazing. I like the chorus knob, separate from the other effects, and the type variation in the distortion. As said before, the only thing I don't like about the pedal is the Auto Riff. I have tried the Boss ME-50 and ME-20 before this, as well as the Digitech RP series, and I thought this blew them away. I got this whole unit, with a power supply for $100, so I could not be happier with the purchase. If I knew what I know now, I would have bought it earlier. Amazing pedal.

Boss GT-6:
The available effects are great, meticulously crafted by pros. The real-time settings considerably increase the sound capabilities of the pedal board.
I haven't tested the MIDI capabilities yet.
To get a taste of the COSM technology, increase a bit your amp's volume, close your eyes and you'll think you are Santana, Satriani...
It is an effects pedal board not a rack unit

UTILIZATION

The basic configuration is pretty good but there seems to be no distinctive order, which means the 340 programs are sorted in a totally messy way, although editing sounds is very easy... the user manual is in English, we are still waiting for the French version, but to be honest I've opened it twice to learn how to edit and create sounds.

SOUND QUALITY

It was about time my guitar could express itself, the effects sound totally real, the distortion sounds are awesome, and the clean sounds too... how could I not love it?

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using it for 3 days. The expression pedal and the loudspeaker simulations are great. I haven't tested a lot of units before, ten or so, but I was never totally convinced, until now. The sound quality is amazing.
The price is really nice compared to competitor products. In my short experience I do believe I made the right choice
