Members primeholy Posted July 27, 2012 Members Share Posted July 27, 2012 Im thinking about buying one. Are they good at the 4 cable method? Are the delays and modulations any good? Does it have a looper? What do you think of it in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeadNight Warrior Posted July 27, 2012 Members Share Posted July 27, 2012 I used to use one 4CM with my Mark III and it worked fine. Used the Mark III for the lead channel and then bypassed the pre and used the GT-8 for other sounds. Also used some typical short low-passed delays for leads, some TS type boosts, EQs, wah, etc. Not much a mod FX user, and I'm generally pretty easily pleased with delay sounds. I don't use big crazy delay FX or anything, just something subtle in the background. Don't even remember if it had a looper. Overall I liked it. It sounded like rubbish direct, but through a tube power section and cab it sounded pretty damn nice. After I got rid of the Mark III, I used it straight into a Peavey 60/60 and usually a 1960A (sometimes an ENGL vertical 2x12). Was a lot easier than lugging around the big rack set up. Certainly some of the amp sounds in there were utterly useless IMO, but I'd found a few that I could get pretty damn good sounds out of with some tweaking. Also, the flexibility in assigning parameters to switches and the exp pedal is very handy. I used an extra two button switch with mine, so I could have more switchable stuff going on within each patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DeadNight Warrior Posted July 27, 2012 Members Share Posted July 27, 2012 Just got on Ebay to see if there were any cheap GT-8s going around here, and found this:EbayHoly {censored}, is your text big enough?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mesa-Maniacal Posted July 27, 2012 Members Share Posted July 27, 2012 I had one and quickly dropped it for an HD500. I was getting sick of lugging it around with my Randall RM-100 head. Now I go straight into the mixer and couldn't be happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
