    a good multi-effects that troubleshoots well!

    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!

    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

    Boss GT-6Published on 11/04/08 at 08:38
    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 descr…

    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
