Like A Custom Touring Pedal Board

I looked at some custom pedal boards used by pro bands who do world tours. Their rigs have NOTHING on this multi-effector! Right out of the box, I started stepping through the presets which are totally tweakable with some offering options for shutting off certain effects / tapping out mod speeds.

E-Z Tone is a quick way to set up the basics and all of the patches are well named and with serious sounds but understand some are "hotter" than others. Some are better suited for single coils like a Fender Strat over a Humbucker.

Even so, if you had to buy all these pedals, effects PLUS a looper, you would pay much, much more. Built like a tank, this is a quality box that looks great on stage. I would suggest you protect your investment and store / transport it in a Tarcase which is USA made in Nashville TN. You will play more and better because this thing makes you sound so good, you just want to keep practicing. Amazing! I sold off some individual pedals and brought this. Best investment I've made this year.

  Retire your vintage pedals

I recently purchased the GT-10 after a friend of mine had recommended it. I own a couple thousands of dollars of analog pedals or high end digital effects that I use for live performances. I wanted to simplify my set-up and I took a chance and bought the GT-10. Even after testing it out before I bought, I was still hesitant because I didn't want to lose my 'sound'. Immediately, I was impressed by the warm sound of each effect. The chorus and delay effects and awesome. The Harmonizer works flawlessly (great tracking compared to the Boss PS-5). Most of the distortion and overdrive effects sound great although a few were still too harsh sounding for my tastes. You'll want to adjust the output levels of each patch since some are much hotter than others. I played a gig 2 weeks using the GT-10 directly out to our PA and I was astonished at how well it sounded. The only downside I could find with the unit is that I think that A company as big as Roland/Boss that they could include an instructional DVD with it. I'm very computer literate, and still found the GT-10 patch programming process a little confusing. Yes, you will have to read the manual if you want to go beyond editing the existing patches. Still it's not that hard. I am very pleased with my purchased of the GT-10!

  A Must Buy!

wow blown away..the preset sounds are amazing..took it out of the box searched through some patches and took it to a recording session and everyone was impressed with the pristine sounds and the beauty of the unit and metal case made to last. It was refreshing to have presets that sounded so good so I could just play my guitar instead of tweaking sounds. I've had this for one day and I can't stop smiling.I haven't created my own sounds yet but it looks very easy..gonna do that next.The presets are listed with a description on a pullout sheet..very helpful. You won't be disappointed.buy it now!

  GT-8 on Steroids (No Congress Needed)

I've had it for 2 weeks and love it. Easier to use than my GT-8. Slightly better tone than the GT-8. EZ Tones are really spectacular. They can be used to easily move through decades and genres. Legendary BOSS quality construction. The options are endless. The presets sound better and are named better than on the GT-8. I would highly recommend. I have a Peavey Valve King that I don't use anymore b/c this thing sounds great through my JBL G2 EON's. On a side note, customer service at Sweetwater sets an industry standard.
