I first got this pedal for one reason and one reason only. It was great for having one main Effects gear and instead of a mess load of pedals (especially of the gear of a signal getting lost in one of the many wires). And it did a great job of doing that. The interface is a little tough to get used to but after a while of messing with it you should be fine. If your product doesn't come with a Manuel, you can probably download the PDF file off their BOSS website. I wouldn't recommend getting this if your only thinking of using the distortion off of it only. To be honest, every distortion setting in this pedal is absolute crap. What I did was only use the Preamp of this processor to the effects loop of my 6505+. That way I got the nice tube distortion sound off my amp, but got to switch it up with cool effects such as the phaser, flanger, pitch shifter, wah.. etc... Again that's the only thing I say it's worth from this pedal. And for the price of it nowadays I say it's totally worth it. I've had many fun gigs with it and I hope you would too!Read full review
Solidly built item. It has great sounds and shaping. IT is rather complicated to learn and not the practical choice for complicated gigging unless your sound doesn't change. it does have a lot of expansion ports, and output options. All in all the unit is a four out of five because of it's rock solid build, great options, but over complication.
I've played all kinds of synth axes. Nothing like the tracking on this GR-55...ANYWHERE! GO LOOK! I've had a problem trying to get the on-board recorder to work when it comes to downloading my MIDI FILES onto a thumb drive. So far, only a masked file I have on an already formatted 16GB thumb drive works. That one file! I can't find any material that shows me how to format the thumb drive for the pedal; so I can't use it for that feature~~which is mainly why I bought it...but after getting it, and hearing the COSM sounds of the guitar effects...I got so much more than I bargained for. Meanwhile, I bought a 120GB iPod, and hoping I can just plug that into the USB port with files I already have formatted that already work. We'll see how it goes. Meanwhile, if you have info on how I can download information about how to format a thumb drive for this beast, don't be a stranger. Forward the link or whatever to me. glynnpetti, at that yahoo place. THIS WAS A SUPER GREAT 5-STAR PURCHASE!! Hey, if you know how to hook up a Triple-Play to work with this unit, that would be great info also. Thanks!!Read full review

I've been a working musician for over 30 years. I tried the new gt-10 out in guitar center first. Decided not to spend 500 dollars on a device that I might not use that much after I bought it. So i did some research and didn't even know boss has been making these for a ling time. Read reviews on the gt8. Most users were frustrated with how hard it was to program it. Don't believe them. I figured it out within a half hour without using the manual. What really blows me away is I paid 180 for this unit. Seller lied about a couple things but my fault for buying from a guy with 0 ratings next to his name. Unit works good and when you consider the cost for 1 boss pedal it's an amazing deal. I'm currently running this through two amps, one tube, one solid state. A lot of the sounds are in stereo and sound amazing with left and right channels. I also use it for recording and it's great. To finish this I'd like to say, tube amps live can't be duplicated with pedals but the enhancements this offers are great. I was going to use this live but have decided that my current two amp set up, a vox vtx120 and a all tube crate v3112 is probably my best bet.Read full review
amp simulations arnt as good as more modern setups but the boss effects are great. am able to run through other devices not boss. direct into a amp or pa/mixer are great even some of the amp simulations. ill have this for some time
