My opinion aint worth shit ultimately, do your thing.
I actually value your opinion quite sometimes. But in this case, my needs simply are quite special. And no other unit seems to be suited as well as the GT to adress certain things.
Namely:
- Form factor. Just excellent. Lightweight (in comparison), EXP pedal onboard while still being smaller than an FM9 and just as big as a Kemper Stage (which are the only other contenders, no way I'll buy a Helix Floor again, sold it for a reason).
- Live-ready display (/cue reasons to sell the HX Floor...).
- Mobile editor. None of the others have that.
- Global blocks. Dito, the others just don't have that functionality (Kemper Stage might work utilizing the parameter lock function, though).
- Tried and trusted Boss hardware quality.
- Super low latency, allowing me to use the loops without worrying, even in case I slap a digital unit into them.
- And because of that, I will as well be able to easily use it in a somewhat expanded setup, too, effectively replacing an external loop switcher.
These are enough reasons for me to make it the best all-in-one solution for some certain kind of gigs that seem to be coming up. In the first place I need something suitcase/backpack friendly offering a proper amount of switches and sufficient output options. Could use my Stomp board for one particular gig I have in mind, but it'd fail once things get a little more elaborated or need more instant tweaking.
Also, I assume same phenomena, when you play 3rds on a the G and B string, there’s a clearly audible exaggeration of a sound an octave below.
Gonna keep an eye (err, ear...) on it, should I get the thing (which, as said, I consider to be very likely).
