- Effects on in rain (more than any other pedal).
- Dual channel.
- Amp simulations.
- Simulations of micro guitar.
- Digital technology.
- Crankset sturdy (heavy too).
- The connections also very robust.
- The knobs are well made.
- No USB at home the competitors
- The look pretty cool.
UTILIZATION
The general configuration is simple.
The edition sounds pretty easy.
We appreciate being able to name the patch at will.
The manual is fine (after 3 to 5 hours to familiarize yourself with the beast).
SOUND QUALITY
The preamps are very bad. There are all alike.
The distortions and preamps, like all the Boss Metal Zone in, as has been said in another opinion.
The sound is cold as stone. The distortion is cool "like granite"
sometimes very aggressive and metal.
The gain of the preamps and distortion is very hard to manage (very difficult to get a crunch sound)
The preamp distortion and very well saturated and very aggressive at times have a bad attack and not amplitude.
The preamps and distortion drool too much, unlike effects.
Very very disappointing for the prices and pretensions of the brand.
The sound of the guitar is not preserved.
Sometimes even too often for my taste, the sound part in Larcena (sometimes even at very low volume).
There is a function (an effect) on the anti-Larcena GT8. For me, Boss has added this feature to overcome this defect.
For the rest the effects are good, in that they do what is expected of them in general and are quite sharp.
The acoustic simulation is not bad or no worse than elsewhere at least,
but still, this is tempered by the overall sound of the pedal too cold.
For those who would tell me that it's a specific Boss (in the sense that we like it or not), I will answer them when they sell a pedal with 46 simulations of tube amps, it s' expect to find, even a little, the sound of the lamps. Missed.
OVERALL OPINION
Do not buy if you want good distortion, good preamps and a warm sound.
For those who I would argue that the Boss GT8 is not intended for amp simulation (but for use with the effects loop send / return) is possible,
What I am not sure of the result and even less interest *
and suddenly, you wonder, why it is proposed 46 simulations.
Boss is below everything on this model.
I have not tried the GT-PRO, but I imagine that the results should not be so much better.
I bought the GT8, tested and sold as soon as three days.
This is the kind of gear you go try to find sounds nice, for I do not know how long qd and you find a sound that approaches + or - of your original idea, well, you n 'will not want to play. Why?
By the sound does not want to play.
*: In my view, the interest of a multi-effect lies largely in the pressing
on one foot for a sound pre-programmed and not have the distortion on a foot-switch on one side and multi-effects pedals on the other (in relation to the effects loop).
Otherwise, put all the pedals in series, one after another, as some do with Boss pedals.
