I have a GT-6 and im seriously thinking about changing to this baby. Ive tested one at a store and think it gives a good combination of the tradional guitar amps and sounds with the new and futuristic sounds. It has a very wide range of music use, since metal to pop. All this with the quality Boss usually offers in its products.
I have to say I love his board, I've been through several multi effects and was recently building up an all analogue pedal board myself with some nice TRex and Keeley pedals in there.
I was inspired after watching Johnny Marr and listening to some of the tones he got from the GT100 so I jumped when it was on offer. I run it through a small Behringer mixing desk into two Yamaha DBR12's and all I can say is that it sounds awesome.
As a change to my usual random approach I went through each preset and made a note what it reminded me of or what it might be useful for,if I liked the patch. Its a testament to the board that out of the 200 presets I marked nearly 50 out for being useful out of the box.
Now i just refer to that sheet and if I have a cover song I want to try or a feel for an original piece I just the closest preset as a starting point.
There are so many features on this board its pointless trying to list them but suffice to say its got everything you are going to need, and there is always the effects loop if you are missing some random effect.
What else can I say, oh yes its improving my playing as I use the metronome on it loads, really helping me improve my speed. The screens are clear and easy to view, and the whole menu is very intuitive to work with.
Gets a definite thumbs up from me absolute winner of a product :)
