Boss GT-6

[rosskoss]

Has anyone tried one yet?How do the amp models stack against those of the POD?I've read that the effects are generally better but the overdrive and distortion tones aren't as good as the POD's.

Can you get tones similar to these artist's tones?

I've heard a demo, but it was very limited and didn't span all the features it has, but I was impressed nonetheless.

And as far as any comparisons, I've heard the FX and OD/Distortions both make the POD sound like a childs toy.

I'm actually saving for one as we speak, so hopefully I can give you a review in the not too distant future.

Anyone else have any input?

Go to Jeroenn's thread entitled "Great site. Guitar mania" in the lessons forum. I posted a link there to the digevent web site where Marc Seal uses a GT-6 processor in his most recent video lessons. There's one particular video where he and another player compare the POD 2.0 and the GT-6 side by side.

Ive been using the GT-3 (the lowest end GT) for about 2 years now and let me tell you Ive been MORE then happy with it. It is a WONDEFUL machine and I even though the effects are "ok" I think the right combo OD/PRE/EQ patch makes it sound like a dream. I love my distortion and Ive heard the GT-6 is way beyond the GT-3 and GT-5.
