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.
