Members RaVenCAD Posted April 26, 2006 Members Share Posted April 26, 2006 I looked at that one, but the lack of a computer based editing software made me keep shopping. Great product, but it fell a bit short of what I wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quicksilver544 Posted April 27, 2006 Members Share Posted April 27, 2006 I bought one too based on the BOSS web site, sound bytes, etc. It is a very, very complicated beast and with the help of a forum dedicated to the GT8's I got it dialed in real good. Had about 2 weeks to play with it before my next rehersal and had some great sounding patches all ready to go. Rehearsal came, this thing sucked big time. Sounded just horrible in a live situation. I was soooooo pissed that I took it back the next day and it was worth it to me to pay the restocking fee. I just couldn't get rid of it fast enough. And forget about adjusting it on the fly. You'll have to stop and re-program. My amp all by itself sounded way better than this thing would ever be capable of so I'm glad I got rid of it. In hind sight I probably should have gone with the VOX Tone Lab SE but I am happy now with my little uncomplicated pedal board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members needmorecowbell Posted April 27, 2006 Members Share Posted April 27, 2006 i actually really like the twin reverb modeler on that. it was so fun to jam with. i don't know if it actually sounded like a TR but i really liked it. aside from that i didn't like anything in terms of the defaults Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members darkest_fugue Posted April 27, 2006 Members Share Posted April 27, 2006 i have a GT5 its enough to last me a lifetime but to me thease things were invented to sound like your going through a guitar amp while plugged directly into a mixer...that is where they do their thing and thats where they shine....most people forget that....i stick by my statement in say you cannot get a decent sound from one going directly into a guitar amp....if you want to use it with a guitar amp you have to run it through the effects loop...

Members SirGarrote Posted April 27, 2006 Members Share Posted April 27, 2006 dude, the thing {censored}in ROCKS! bitch to tweak, but damn....you can go many places with it.my setup is just this:guitar -> gt-8 -> podxt live -> ampi run the podxt live in the effects loop.....{censored}in KILLER. do that, and ditch all of your other pedals -G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tonemeister87 Posted April 27, 2006 Members Share Posted April 27, 2006 That pedal is calling me to throw it into the fire:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Christobevii3 Posted April 27, 2006 Members Share Posted April 27, 2006 Todd lewis (the front man for the toadies) is now in the burden brothers. One of the guys uses it with a jcm 900 and sounds amazing. I want one sometime, but all i have is a boss me 50 for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members batotman Posted April 27, 2006 Members Share Posted April 27, 2006 Yeah me too. However I just sent an XTL back and don't want something so complex. Just a few effects is all i want but definitely don't want anything digital sounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
