Members cincy_cosmo Posted February 23, 2012 Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 Observation: Usually when Boss/Roland introduces a new multi effects unit there is some clamoring and speculation...at least some converstation. I've noticed that with the GT-100, there has been very little buzz...is this because of the economy or is unit underwhelming people??? (I myself am riding the fence on whether to get one or not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members the Dodo Posted February 23, 2012 Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 Im still eager to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cincy_cosmo Posted February 23, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 I've had most all the GT's (6, 6B, 8, 10) I still own a 8 and 6 Bass. Wasn't thrilled at all with the GT-10. I know some others had the same experience. That's why I am waffling...not sure if it will work out or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HeartfeltDawn Posted February 23, 2012 Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 I'd rather get the Zoom G5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cincy_cosmo Posted February 23, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 I remember when Zoom pedals were cheap practice devices but no one took them seriously. I guess that has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dZjupp Posted February 23, 2012 Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 there's never alot of hype around here for any boss multis, just the nature of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cincy_cosmo Posted February 23, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 I remember the GT-8 getting alot of discussion as well as the VG-88....but you're correct...Boss multi's don't get much love on HC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BryanMichael Posted February 23, 2012 Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 The GT-10 was a huge leap forward from the GT-8 IMO. The only thing that stops me from getting the GT-100 is that the effects loop is NOT stereo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't ever sell my GT-3 as it's bullet-proof and I think it sounds better than the Line 6 M-series gear. The GT-8 is OK and the GT-10 disappointed. The GT-100 looks to be loaded with a load of {censored} I really don't want. The Zoom G3 and G5 are very competitively priced and I'm keen to try them out.

The only thing that stops me from getting the GT-100 is that the effects loop is NOT stereo! Leap forward but also a step back especially when it comes to the 'cocked wah' sound. I don't want Boss doing amps. The M9 and 13 weren't mould breakers in terms of sound: they set the yardstick with regards to ease of use. Something with the ease of use of the M13 with the quality Boss sounds found in the DD-20, RE-20, and the CE-20, would be a great product. The G5 looks like it's sat right between the GT-100 and the M13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much of the problems people hear with the Boss units can be tweaked out with the numerous EQ's and options they have built in. Of course, I really only used the Fender amp models, which I thought were decent on the BOSS stuff anyway...I'm onto a POD HD Pro now, but I have NOT been blown away by Line 6 as many have told me I would be...

Members HeartfeltDawn Posted February 23, 2012 Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 ^^ The HD500 did nothing for me at all. You can tweak the GT-10 to bits but it's not as intuitive as earlier GT models. I bought the GT-10 to upgrade the GT-3: three months later, the GT-10 is a memory and the GT-3 keeps on going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cincy_cosmo Posted February 23, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 I had the same experience with the GT-10. I had a GT-8, sold it to get into the VG-99 (for awhile), sold the VG-99 for the GT-10 and then liked the GT-8 better so I 'traded' back. After all that churn and the loss of some money doing so I'm a little leary about the GT-100, but I have a feeling that it will be something I'll get. The emphasis seems to be on the faster processors and better 'feel'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BryanMichael Posted February 23, 2012 Members Share Posted February 23, 2012 I guess for me, the interfaces were easier to come to terms with because of the improvement in overall tone and experience. I also had a VG-99. I never really liked the GT-8. In fact, I've been rocking Roland gear for about 20+ years so they always seemed somewhat intuitive to me. The GT-10 was a big adjustment however, but I really liked it and I miss it. The POD HD Pro has been pretty easy to get to terms with once I sat down and used it, but I would go back to the BOSS/Roland line in a heartbeat if they had a stereo effects loop...
