Yeah, the more I was thinking about this morning the more I thought about how even the effects alone make this one worth considering.
Boss GX 10 ..... Floor EFX Unit Anyone ?

I'd be tempted to pick one up to play around with it. I had my eye on the GX-100 when it was on sale as an effects only unit for my Rocker 15, but dragged my feet because of the IR issue. Then they fixed it with a big update after the sale was over, so kind of lost interest. But $400 is intriguing, it's definitely a challenger for the HX Stomp at that price.

You just shut up. Shut all the way up.Looks nice but DOWN WITH INTEGRATED EXPRESSION PEDALS!!!
Except it lacks an amp channel switch control output...

I was gonna try and offload mine, but I was persuaded to keep it. I now just use it like a POD. It's my silent desktop practice and writing toy.
In a pinch, if I need in the future.....it's just an outboard effect processor.
I probably couldn't give it away now ...so yeah....I know...
Now if I could just forgive myself for purchasing it in the first place.
Friends don't let friends buy anything Headrush .... sorry :)

Then I guess we aren't friends ...where were you 3 years ago?
As with most of my life, had to learn this lesson the hard way.

That was the reason for my Thread title ...... putting aside totally the Boss Amps which you either love or hate - I personally reckon their Originals are awesome ... but you get a ton of Boss EFX + 15 Blocks + 3 Parallel Dividers + Exp Pedal etc.... for US $399 ..... honestly I'm not buying one and don't need one .... but for someone like me who doesn't need or want or have any real-world-live use for exotic reverbs and delays ..... this unit is a total absolute steal no-f*cking brainer.
If I did want an EFX floor unit to match with my real amp or amp-modeler ...... I'm going to want and need a lot more than a maximum of 4 Blocks at any single time.
And like I said, you can just ignore / pretend that the Boss Amps or Cabs aren't even there !

Killer form factor. Even the built-in EXP. Boss digital effects are killer as well. Other than their bland scratchy ass drives. This is sacrilege but I think LT gets some of his best tones in his Boss videos

Cordy is going to want to talk
Just ordered!
Love my FM9....but an ancient Boss GT-1 is still my go-anywhere all-in-one travel rig. So the GX-10 is an awesome upgrade for that.
Seems like this is going to put all kinds of pressure on the low-end. The fly rig is $329 -- look at what you get for $70 more. And while it may be twice the price of all these new pedals from Line 6 et al, again, look at what you get for the difference.
And on the mid-range, well, I'm no fan of Helix and this makes the Stomp even less attractive..... I suppose the use cases are slightly different, but its $250 more and even then it lacks some "table stakes" features like phone app editing, etc.

Its a killer unit
I really like the GX100 for effects and even distortion models in there sound really good.
Will order this asap, it will sit perfectly in my office desk

It took me a while to figure out if it can take custom IRs. I had to go through the parameters list to find out.
It can take 16 IRs using a dedicated tool. But it seems like the GX-100 custom IRs have issues. They say that the converted IRs could sound dark and muddy. Anyone knows if that has already been fixed at the GX-100, and subsequently at the GX-10?

And that´s why the VP4 is NOT a truly complete 4cm amp rig unit.As also doesnt the US $699 4 Block VP4
