The GT1000... is it good?

[FuzzyAce]

Well, I don't think it's about "new" sounds at all. People are constantly asking for yet some more "iconic" amps from decades ago.
If you wanted "new" sounds, modelers have them in spades.

I was just thinking the same thing yesterday. I'm not expecting a modeler to replicate an iconic tube amp exactly, there are just too many little variables -- not to mention all the variables from actual tube amp to tube amp of the same model. I just want a modeler to sound and feel good, and be able to shape it to my liking -- and hopefully bring something new to the table tonally that a tube amp can't. Thankfully, most major modelers sound and feel right at this point.

In all honesty I'd own a GT-100 again long before I'd buy any of the newer Boss stuff. I miss my GT-100 sometimes it was such a fantastically diverse and usable set up. Especially for 4cm.

I had the GT100 here a bit ago. It sucked.

I should clarify a bit. It sounded great if you were interested in scoring a video game from 2002.

Original model is great but they can't model a real world amp to save their lives.

Which I'm absolutely fine with. Pretty much none of the sounds I'm creating sound like any real world counterparts.

I have found the GT-1000 to sound/feel better in 4cm with a tube amp than the Helix line.

How about that Fillmore

How about that Fillmore

I so knew you were going to say that…

It’s amazing so far at home, love it. Have not had it out with the band yet, which is always the deciding factor for me.

Sounds dumb, but I need sexier pics before making a NAD thread…

That makes complete sense. Live is definitely the litmus.

I think I have Boss PTSD

 

[JCW308]

Aside from the pitch shifter and the harmonizer and the compressors that don't have gain reduction meters

Completely usable for the rest of the univesrse. Hmmmmm

 

[JiveTurkey]

Someone else has Boss PTSD too, apparently

I thought that the Boss GM800 cured you and all it took was it's fast, accurate organ.

I'm still not satisfied with that damn sound!

#neverBoss

I kid.

They make so much stuff that some of it is bound to not jive with
some of us. I am forever done with them when it comes to amp/drive
modelling anything.

I wouldn't cry if I was buried in Boss delays, though.

You mean the sound being made playing the organ or the sound of the whole box in general?

Just the organ sounds I've been futzing with. GR55 was much better for me fwiw

 

[Jarick]

I absolutely disagree at least for the "Natural OD", which is just marvelleous and as good as it gets in digital drive land. Great on its own and as great to push an already driven amp.

Yeah natural OD sounds awesome, the klon is decent, but a lot of the others like boss drives are not good.

Ill be doing the update today. Hopefully they fixed the harmonizer and allowed way more freely placeable plugins rather than 400 delays and eq's

 

[Sascha Franck]

Uhm, gotta say that was quite unexpected.
Hopefully that doesn't have an impact on the 2nd hand market prices.

If it isn't listed in the release notes; I would not hold your breath.
