Boss GT-10 Effects Processor

This is my current "Pedalboard". I'm using a multi-effects setup over the years because of the ease of use and versatility. Before, I was playing for a "show band" with variety of genres and because of tight budget, I ended up in a multi effects setup and I used a Zoom GFX-5 and never got satisfied of my tone. In my opinion, my tone really sucks using that effects. Now, I'm using a Boss GT-10 which is really a monster machine for me because of the features that this monster can do. This machine have a very intelligent "Assign" feature which is its real strength. Where you can assign up to 8 events in just one step! For the tone, of course, it's made by Boss/Roland Corp. which is a top guitar effects innovator since their first production. I love the overdrive/distortion that this machine can scream. And my favorite is the "Tube Screamer". Boss also improved their amp simulator in this effects called "COSM" and it really works very good for me. I usually use the MS Classic 1959 (Marshall). I love high gain distortions especially in solo's . And before I forgot, this machine is like an analog setup where you can arrange the effects chain sequence within the board. The feature of this monster machine is really broad to discuss here. I'll share a tutorial video that i followed when I'm starting programming my tones.


Here's Glenn Delaune's GT-10 tutorial which served as my reference before. I followed this tutorial and browse the manual for the functionality purposes. I also have a "Tian Jay's GT-10 Tutorial DVD" which helps me a lot. He discussed everything with regards to the functionality of each buttons, how to operate all navigation buttons, how to use PROPERLY every effects included in the board and gives out example full example of his patch settings for your reference. Every Boss-GT10 out there MUST TRY that tutorial video!

Overall, this machine is for keep. I'll build my analog setup soon, but I still keep this machine as long as I play. Try one now and enjoy! Cheers!
