BOSS GT-10 Guitar Effects Floor Processor at a Glance:
Advanced sound Powered by BOSS’s custom-made new-generation processor and proprietary COSM sound-modeling method, the GT-10 ushers in a new era of audio quality for guitarists. BOSS’s legendary know-how of effects and sound modeling are fully integrated into this new flagship floorboard multi-FX unit. As a result, tone quality is significantly higher, and response to playing dynamics is much more natural and musical. And not just for the stage — the GT-10 is also great in the studio thanks to its USB capability and digital output. EZ Tone wizard The GT-10 is a pro player’s dream, but it’s also friendly enough for first timers. The innovative EZ Tone wizard helps you create top-quality sounds quickly. It offers an intuitive approach to sound design based on graphical icons to quickly realize the sounds that guitarists are imaging. No more struggling with parameters on the LCD. In addition to EZ Tone, general operation of GT-10 is truly intuitive. The Effects Select buttons, for example, enable instant access to the essential parameters of each effect. The values of the parameters shown can be increased/decreased immediately by turning four rotary encoder knobs below the LCD. Operation is as easy as compact pedals on a pedalboard, as you can quickly jump from any effect to any effect. USB connectivity, creative power Connect the GT-10 to a wide range of external gear via its rear-panel USB port, where audio and MIDI data can be streamed digitally to computers, digital recorders, or other compatible devices. Safely transfer precious data to and from the GT-10 via USB as well. GT-10’s Parallel Chain feature provides two separate effects paths, including COSM amp models for seamless switching from clean tone to lead and vice versa. The two channels can be used simultaneously, blended by expression pedal, or even switched based on your playing dynamics. The GT-10 also comes equipped with Phrase Loop. This inspiring feature is great for idea sketching and practice as well as in performance with live sound-on-sound looping. Quality construction It’s a BOSS tradition to build gear that looks great, is friendly to use, and stands up to the rigors of the road. The GT-10 is no exception, with its strong, stylish design, and six dedicated footswitches plus built-in expression pedal. The high-contrast LCD and LED make using the GT-10 a breeze even on dark stages or in glaring sunlight. BOSS GT-10 Guitar Effects Floor Processor Features:

November 1, 2010 Music Background: Hobbyist Take time to learn the unit. It's worth it.
by Steve from Avondale, AZ
This is mainly to the reviewer below me, but hopefully everyone else will benefit from this as well.July 9, 2009 Music Background: Pro Musician, Recording Engineer Yes, the GT-10 sounds great...but read all of the following before you decide if this is for... read more [+] you. There is no way around it...the GT-10 has a steep learning curve to really be proficient with getting the EXACT sound that you want. Yes, you can plug it in and go through the patches and try to find some that you like, and you may or may not be impressed. The EZ tone is something I almost never use, but it works for the initial excitement of your new purchase. I owned a GT-8 for 5 years, and I used it on tour, in the studio, and in my practice space. Two of those 5 years was somewhat of a struggle to really find what I was looking for. Once I learned it and experimented, I fell in love. So I knew the GT-10 would only be better. But here's the thing about multi-effects processors in general that everyone should know: TURN OFF THE PRE-AMP MODELS!! Everyone from Line 6 to Boss always advertises the crazy amp modeling that they have. The thing is, I've met very few guitarists who buy a pedal like this because of amp modeling. In fact, many guitarists I know already have a descent amplifier when they buy these units. So in all reality, you don't really need the preamps at all...and in some cases, they actually work against you. In other words, if you have some wonderful tube dreamy amplifier with your dream guitar, and you expect to just plug the guitar into this pedal, and the pedal into your dreamy amp and have AMAZING tone, then you will be disappointed. Why? Because you have a pre-amp model pushing a signal into an amp's preamp, and then it's power amp. This is hardly ever a good thing to do. You will get screeching, hissing, and tinny tone almost every time. At the very least, turn off the preamps on every patch. Even better, run this into your amp's effects loop and take time to learn how each effect and setting interacts with each other. You will instantly hear a night and day difference. So what are the pre-amps for? If you are using the GT-10 as a front end going directly into a board (i.e. no amplifier)then you should use the pre-amps and tweak their settings to the venue you are playing in. Also, if you are recording you can use the GT-10 as as a nice preamp to go DI into your DAW. Again, tweaking to your system will be required, but you can get some pretty realistic emulated tones this way. So, with all of that out of the way... The GT-10 is one of the most flexible, versatile, great sounding multi-effects processors on the market. Think of it as every single Boss stomp box all in one unit. The on board looping, the quality and tweakability of every effect, and the sheer amount of different applications that you can use this for make it worth every penny. Just remember, if you purchase this unit, get involved with some of the online forums that are dedicated to the boss GT floorboards, and take a little time to learn how to use it to best compliment your workflow. It's a little bit of work on the front end, but then you will never NEED another effects unit. close [-] One Box Does It All
by Bill from Richmond, Va.
I bought the GT-10 after returning the Line 6 POD X3 Live. The Line 6 unit just didn't sound warm to my ears. The problem most of us guitar players have is that we need about 5-6 fairly individual s... read more [+]ounds from our rigs which is a tall order for a single amp set up. I've spent many thousands of dollars over the years chasing these tones and always came up short in one area or another. (Tone-wise, I'm similar to Joe Walsh. I don't use tons of distortion but I love that tube-sag and bite that Walsh has always had.)December 30, 2008 Music Background: Played guitar since 1970. The GT-10 has changed everything for me. The sounds from the box are truly amazing and it couldn't be simpler to use. Are the models dead on accurate? I don't know or really care (although the Marshalls are darn close). (There are patches with enormous gain structures, too. I know that is a big concern for a lot of players.) The fact is the sounds are all very musical, dynamic and usable. I played mine at Church Sunday and had people coming up to me asking what I was using because it sounded so good. You know, there is a point where good-enough is good-enough, and the technology is finally there. The Boss engineers did a great job designing this unit. It is way beyond good-enough. The pre-set patches are actually similar to ones a real working musician would use. Now how-about-that! A company is actually listening to it's customers. Now it's time to just shut up & play my guitar! No excuses. Just shut up and play. Thank you Boss! close [-] Sounds and Feels Like High End Instruments
by Submarine from Jacksonville, Florida
I formally only really enjoyed playing acoustics. Now, my electrics have souls of their own. The GT-10 gives me a organic feel on the fretboards that speaks clearly to me during playback through the a... read more [+]mp(s) or headphones. December 14, 2008 Music Background: Hobbyist, Student, Light Recording I can play the fastest, cleanest leads with pure enjoyment. I set my amp on neutral, then go through each of the presets and see which ones are best for what type of playing. Some presets are great all over the necks. Others, great for fast rhythm chords, some slow rhythms. Others, exceptional for fast leads, others slow leads. They are labeled well and make sense. I can now play all the way up to my LP's 22nd and Strat's 21st frets and everywhere along the way. Tweeking presets is easy - turn one of four knobs, look right at the screen, and listen. That's it. It sounds and feels right. Certain presets speak to me and take me up new learning curves. The gain or sensitivity can be adjusted for each preset to make the output volume more consistant. I do like the difference in gain because it helps me feel the gain more naturally for hot settings. Another nice thing is that I can keep my guitar pick-ups at full voume if desired (any volume depending on the set-up) and simply adjust the main volume on the GT-10. Even at full guitar gain, I can change guitars simply by turnng the main volume dial down on the GT-10 with NO POPS - pure silence between guitar changes. The built-in tuner is sweet. One button to tune. Press it again, and I'm right back to playing. I can see it 10-15 feet away well enough to tune in the dark. The blue display is very bright - perfect for viewing at a distance. Up close, I sit just slightly off to the side. I place the GT-10 on a portable, heavy duty computer tabletop angled at 45 degrees towards me for learning, adjustments and close-up work. I have always wanted to play electrics. It's no wonder hollow bodiy guitars were tops way back - more tone with straight amps. With the GT-10, my LP and Strat have tapped into sounds and taken on new lives. Before, playing straight into a AMPEG 70 tube amp or Line 6 Spider JAM just didn't do it for me. It's probably my acoustic ears. The GT-10 has taken my playing to new levels. I knew I could do it. Accurate, musical, clean, hugely variable sounds, and can be as bad as a CAT 5 hurricane making landfall at night. If your guitars are set up and you have a good, neutral amp and not happy -- maybe you're looking for another guitar or amp. I think you may want to try this baby out first. My guitars and amp(s) were fine. I knew something was missing. I'm convinced my solid body guitars needed a higher end, muti-effects processor to really bring out their true colors. My guitars, the GT-10, and my amps now have some fabulous sounds. Now, I could take my guitar, the GT-10 and play anywhere. The way it should be. close [-] Like A Custom Touring Pedal Board

I looked at some custom pedal boards used by pro bands who do world tours. Their rigs have NOTHING on this multi-effector! Right out of the box, I started stepping through the presets which are tota... read more [+]lly tweakable with some offering options for shutting off certain effects / tapping out mod speeds.July 10, 2008 Music Background: Pro Musician E-Z Tone is a quick way to set up the basics and all of the patches are well named and with serious sounds but understand some are "hotter" than others. Some are better suited for single coils like a Fender Strat over a Humbucker. Even so, if you had to buy all these pedals, effects PLUS a looper, you would pay much, much more. Built like a tank, this is a quality box that looks great on stage. I would suggest you protect your investment and store / transport it in a Tarcase which is USA made in Nashville TN. You will play more and better because this thing makes you sound so good, you just want to keep practicing. Amazing! I sold off some individual pedals and brought this. Best investment I've made this year. close [-]
