UTILIZATION

Ergonomics standard, we have to look a little overboard because the beast is very dense and the opportunities for improper settings are endless! I recommend the pdf dedicated to this pedal: Boss GT8 Brilliance. " This is a doc that is both comprehensive and a little mess but there is virtually everything we are trying!

SOUND QUALITY

At that time (2009) where I bought it, I hesitated between this multi-effects pedals and analog so. As I came across a good OCCAZ (almost new to 230 €) I'm tempted! Initially I used a lot of amp models built since the distortion of the amp I was using at the time did not satisfy me (CV Traynor 40W). Once spent on a Mesa Boogie 5:50, I dropped the models (which I find correct). The settings I use most: - Delay, Chorus, Reverb, Phaser, Flanger, Wah (For wahwah I am a little disappointed, I had the Dunlop cry baby before my favorite!) - Booster Tube Screamer in strengthening the amp distortion, - Compressor, Equalizer, Noise Blocker, - Plus a few effects here and there! Besides the Wahwah, I'm pretty happy with this pedal (with Vigier Excalibur Indus + Mesa Boogie 5:50) I live branch simply because it is more convenient. (I tried in the loop and I did not notice any major difference).

OVERALL OPINION

It is often said that the cranks are multi gas plants, which distort the sound of tube amps and that ultimately we do not use only 10-15% of its possibilities ... is not totally false! But in my case for a pedal of this quality at the price I bought it at the time I'm happy! And I do not find it distorts the sound of my amp! After it's true that I have not had the opportunity to test with analog pedals so ...
