Boss GX-100

Előnyök:
Rengeteg jó gyári beállítás van benne, amik azonnal használhatóak. Könnyen kezelhető, minden benne van amire szükség lehet. Nincs agyon bonyolítva, egyszerű. Azoknak való, akik gyakorolni szeretnek, és nem beállítással tölteni a drága időt, hetekig.

Amit nagyon szeretek a Boss multikban, hogy szélesebb spektrumban állítja a hangot. Az EQ-k tekergetésével a frekvenciákba is belenyúl, ezáltal olyan széles skálán mozog , hogy 3 eq segítségével többféle gitárhoz többféle stílusra azonnal beállítható ugyanaz a preset.

Szemben a Line6 Pod Go termékkel, mely annyira szétszedi a lehetőségeket, hogy hónapokon át nem tudtam egy értelmes beállítást létrehozni. A gyári hangjai használhatatlanok. Lecseréltem Bossra. :)

Van egy GT-1000 Core multim is, azt is megtartottam. Kezelhetőség, és hangtulajdonságot illetően hasonlóak a GX-el. A GT-nek élesebb és sterilebb számomra a hangja. A GX az koszosabb, és sokkal sötétebb. Mindkettőt nagyon szeretem, mindkettő zseniális.

GX-100 hátránya:
Az érintőképernyő bizonyos esetekben nagyon lassú és akadozik. Engem ez nem zavar, mert gombokkal is kezelhető, nem igazán használom. Azonban egy egy lépés egyszerűbben elvégezhető az érintő felületen.

This unit is incredible for the price. I remember most modelling pedals being cheap and beginner level about a decade ago but it's not the case these days. The GX is very well built, heavier than I expected. Every switch is fully programmable and customizable, per patch. Can also send MIDI CCs per switch, so I've mapped some switches in Ableton Live for scene scrolling and launching. The display is great but the unit can be used without heavily relying on the touch screen and instead by using buttons and encoders. The rotary encoders feel great, are not cheap, are indented and 'click in'. The four rotaries below the display can be mapped to any parameter within the patch for quick access. Very logical and straightforward UI, doesn't take long to learn. The blocks (hexagons) are color coded by category. No latency to speak of when playing and switching patches. A separately sold Bluetooth module can be purchased for editing of patches on an iPad or phone, so you don't have to crouch constantly. I've literally recreated my own rig (amp, stompboxes) on the GX-100 and couldn't believe how good it sounded and responded to touch, so I'm selling everything and keeping this as my main amp/effects unit. Near-infinite possibilities in patching, routing and assigns, including the expression pedal, which has good travel and sensitivity. Time based effects such as delays can be tempo synced to an incoming MIDI clock, or you can set the GX to be a master clock and send a MIDI Start/Stop from one of the switches. BPM can be set per patch also. The looper module seems to be basic because obviously Boss won't eat into its own looper market with the GX. I couldn't find a way to sync the looper to the internal or external clock or quantize the bars, so it's just a basic looper for quick ideas, with you as the reference in timing. Maybe it'll get better with an update but it's just a minor con for me.
Overall, I'm very impressed with the GX-100 and would recommend it if you're in the market for a swiss army knife of a modeller on a moderate budget.

Just jumped into GX100 coming from the old GT3. Sound is awesome, easy of use is absolutely stunning (wouldn't go for the 1000 until I can afford a sound engineer), quality is perfect but Slicer has disappeared from it... Obviously if you were not using it you won't notice but if you were you will have to solve it by buying it or other pedals and plugging them via send-return. In any case worth to recommend an spectacular multi-effect pedalboard with a professional sound and full ability for setting up all kind of parameters per effect, all kind of possibilities when working on manual mode (1 pedal may be assigned to start 1, 2 or n effects if you wish), you may set up an effect and create copies for each of your guitars. A pleasure to work with such technology.
