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

FM9 is certainly a better option (I love mine) except for the price.

Yea but odds are with boss or ampero youwill ebd upselling to get something better in the end so just start off with the best

My FM9 is practically hard wired into my studio with USB, SPIDF, tube amps, and pedals all connected for recording. I don’t want to disconnect all that for every rehearsal or gig. The GX-100 is an inexpensive and lightweight alternative that comes with an expression pedal built in. FM9 does sound better and has better switching options. But not that much better for me to be willing to pay up for a second one just for gigs.

Just get a fm9 ..boss is soso(had the gt1000) but fractal is just a better box in all areas

Dude...

And fwiw, I just bought a GT-1000. For reasons. And for the stuff I'll be using it for, an FM9 simply wouldn't work.

I just returned the Boss Gt-1000 core for the GX-10. I'm in heaven. The Nouns are great but the Verbs,,,Awesome

Very Tycho-ish. Very nice! Got lost in the music for a little bit.

NGL, I'm still considering picking up the GX10 or GX100 to mess around with in front of (or 4CM) my Orange amp. The GX100 is tempting here because it has lots of switches, has the expression pedal built in, and has an amp switching jack built in. I didn't like the GTK for stereo effects and lack of delays, but I'd run the GX in mono and it doesn't have the same fixed blocks. Also curious how the Boss amp models sound running into a power amp and cab (which I didn't try previously as I got the Orange amp and cab after I sold the GTK).

The GX100 is built like a tank and I am loving the foot switches and expression pedal.

Oh .... and like them or not / use them or not .... it also includes the full suite of the 32 GT1000 Amps and AIRD cabs

I'll leave it at that :)

Has anyone found an appropriate gig bag for the GX-10?

Maybe not what you're looking for, but I did mention that it fits in the Boss softcase for the GT-1. It's snug and puts a bit more pressure on the zippers but nothing I would worry about.

A couple of videos hearing the Twist Delay and Warp delay

Mind blowing???? Eh not really

Reminds me of circus music a bit. Ya know when the clowns come out

I was thinking with Boss GX 10 and the parallel route, you can set up the low frequency chugs to trigger a compressor while allowing the rest to pass through

This is a pretty common effect in DAW most heavy metal players make, when they trigger a compressor to work in low frequency "chug" othe boss I was thinking of using path A to compress 80 to 300hz and path B be normal without compression. Then when they mix and combine the final signal will be only chug riffs compressed

What do you think?

 

[Frankencat]

How is that done? I would love to set something up where an effect is applied as you turn the input volume down. Like more compression as you back off the guitar volume.

It doesn’t exactly work like that, but if you assign the compression setting to “input” and the min/max values (if you want it to go higher you set the higher number on your minimum and lower on maximum) then adjust the sensitivity until it starts reacting the way you want. But it does it dynamically, so when it hit it hard it will go down and as the signal decays it would go up. Works handily with the noise gate, too. Have it at a low setting when you’re playing and high setting when it’s quiet.

This is possible using input level as a modifier. You can assign input level to pretty much any parameter, the modulation direction is up to you as well. You could modify, say, the chorus FX level so it goes up when your input volume goes down.
However, this is gonna be tricky with a compressor. If you want lower input levels to end up with *more* compression, you gotta kinda overcompensate because the compressors sensivity (usually threshold but "sustain" in Boss lingo) obviously depends on input level due to the nature of a compressor.

Anyhow, @noizmsm was talking about frequency dependent compression - and that's possible as well. You could use a splitter and set it to split the signal by frequency content straight on the splitter (you might need an additional EQ for further finetuning, though). You could then insert the compressor into the path representing the frequencies you want to be compressed and just merge everything together with the path mixer.
