Boss GT-Pro

[NevermoreMan90]

Anyone tried it? If so, give me your opinion on it. I've read good reviews/comments, and bad ones. I can't try it for myself because there isn't a shop around me that carries it. I just want a preamp/processor that can get good Nevermore, Behemoth, Hypocrisy, In Flames estqe tones. If anyone has suggestions for other preamps, that would be great too. Help is much appriciated!

it's pretty. reminds me of my Boss GX-700 (i think that's what it's called... )

Yeah man. I done shit loads of research on it, and it seems like it would suit me well. I've seen some clips on the GT-8 ( which is pretty much the same thing ), and it had all the tones i'm looking for, especially the Nevermore tone. I still have my doubts though. Do you like your Boss?

Boss has some good effects. Infact I like boss effects the best. However, I must say, they make crappy amp modals. I have only played the GT6 and ME-50, but I don't picture going much better than that as far as distortion modals go.

I personally love the GT8, and the extra I/O options on the GT Pro make it quite appealing. I think the Boss models are a lot nicer than Line6 models, Im only getting a Line6 rig because Boss don't make a 300 watt head that glows purple...:p

My friend has one and Iv had the chance to spend some time with it, I must say if your looking to record its brilliant. The FX are great and the amount of parameters is just limitless. My friend is a very experimental/versatile player who does a lot of recording where Im a Rock/Metal/Bules player so if I was going to spend that kinda cash Id pick up a tube amp :hat

i like mine but i don't currently use it, i just at one time bought a bunch of different similar preamps to compare 'em, including a roland gp-100, a yamaha dg1000, and others,

some of them sounded awful so i got rid of,
i kept the boss gx700, roland gp100, and digitech 2112,

but the 2112 was the BEST sounding and most realistic sounding, so back when i used these devices it was the one i used most.

i've kept them because i want to go back to playing around with them someday in the future when other stuff in my life gets settled, hopefully in a couple years.


basically your choices today other than used discontinued gear like a 2112, is a Line6 xt pro vs. this boss gt pro, and other similar items out there.
fwiw digitech has come out with again a GSP product, but this time no tubes inside like the 2112 (2120, 2101, valvefx ) all had so i dunno if its worth checking out or just trying to get "gsp" back in their market lineup; i mean it seems like a step backwards for their line progression.

EVERYONE does line6, that itself makes this gtpro a little more appealing to me, jmo.

I agree. I like Line 6, but Boss is better. If Boss made a glowing head ( even not glowing for that matter ), I would definately pick one up. Glowing green would look ace:hat.

i like my podxt pro... i looked at these boss units a few months ago... couldnt be swayed from the xt pro :(
