Boss GX 10 ..... Floor EFX Unit Anyone ?

[Jarick]

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?

The IR conversion was fixed for the GX-100 this summer...no idea on the GX-10 as they aren't in the wild yet but I'd assume it uses similar firmware.

Yeah, well... then you don´t have just one device.

Based on that logic, I can also buy a Behringer FCB1010 and say it´s a full effects proccesor. And if someone tells me it lacks effects, I can just reply attaching a picture of an HX Stomp.

This is a pretty good deal I mean the core was about $700
This gives you same basic operation , the touch screen
Likely all the new MDP models
Hell even TB3 might be a potential customer

I love the GX-100 and use it all the time. I have been wanting a backup for it and this may be it, although would be more inclined to insta-buy at $299.

Great demo here:

When I was in the market I deep dove into the GT-1000 vs GX-100 vs my FM3 and others. The GX-100 was the one that stuck. I mean love my Fractal FM3 but I take my GX-100 out with me 90% of the time to go play. It just works for me live and is so easy to use. The FM3 stays in the studio with my other "high-end" stuff. This guy here is like a "little GX" that I could easily stick in a backpack or gig bag and have the same sounds. A lot of the time I want to leave the GX-100 at church or something but I don't want to lose it. This one, eh, I could leave it there no worries.

Is the VP4 the same size as the Boss SDE-3000 pedal?

When we were discussing dual detune the other day; this is the Boss stuff I was talking up. It's timestamped

I could never get anything this rich out of the MicroPitch. User error I would hope. FAS does a great job as well.

Have they posted full list of the models and FX for this one yet , manual link keeps timing out for me

Reference manual and parameter guide are up now.

Time to get browsing. £350 is a pretty good deal over here in the UK.

Hmm. No MIDI. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm,

Two questions:

Does this have CURNUM?

Can expression pedal heel down be used to activate the tuner? (EDIT: Answer is YES!)

The delays and fx sound stellar
Did not love the Ultra Titan but the X Optima sounded cool for that Hot Rodded Brit sound
Overall it’s kind of unique ,Boss just makes it own original models and they generally sound very good

[ian_dissonance]

stereo effects loop?

No

 

[timbuck3]

I tested both GX100 and GT1000 side by side for a week or so with the stock AIRD Cabs .... is there a difference in hardware spec between the GX and the GT .... on paper yes ... could I hear any difference up loud or quiet .... no-never-inaudible.

Yes. The GX 10 does run [if you want] 2 Amps at the same time and you can mix / blend them as you wish etc....
Yes. It is totally and utterly gapless switching ... you just go from preset to preset instantly with spillover ... no need for scenes or snapshots or channels

With 170 Boss EFX and 15 Blocks + 3 Dividers [Dividers allow for Parallel Paths] all for only US $399 if you want an EFX only rig for you real Amp or your Amp-only Modeler this is just an insane no brainer .... unless you want or need multiple non-standard reverbs .... and you don't even need to use any of the on-board Amps if you don't want to or don't like them !!!!

wow 400.00 Thats great pricepoint is there a catch? no stereo effects loop

Now that I've watched some videos, I'm even more nonplussed. Absolute pass.

Yeah I wanted to love the GT1K/GX stuff. But it just doesn’t sound good. It’s passable, but there’s definitely better.

The new Ampero II beats this.

if they re-released the Boss GT-3 and it sounded identical to an original, I'd be all over that. This just sounds really flat. The GT-1000Core on paper suited me perfectly. In reality the UI was horrible and setting it up for my usual stereo stuff was shit. The last few Boss things I've had haven't lasted. I love the CE-2B as a chorus pedal and hoped the CE-2W would hit the spot. I sold it the same day. Boss need to do something to turn things around for the digital gear as they're being outdone in the UI stakes and now you've got new challengers with decent products like the Hotone.

This combined with a Tonex Pedal... backup rig here we are!

Bugger the "backup" part ..... this pedal and a Tonex [full] Pedal in the Loop would be an amazing "main" gigging rig :)
