Oh I get it, it's the new line of Boss "suck" effects? This is the new Boss Suck-10b isn't it?

Subtle.

I am more the 'Plug-in-and-Play' type of bass player. I guess that qualifies me for 'Old-Geezer' status.

Why are you in the effects forum then?

the old Toasted's back. it's about time dude. you were spending way to much time in OT.

welcome back buddy


also, i'm not sure what Boss is trying to do here. No one bought their other Multi-FX units, who's gonna buy this one?

[Mr. Pickles]

I think the poster may have meant that the Boss unit is simpler (i.e "Plug and Play") to integrate into one's rig than hooking up multiple pedals and the accompanying cables, power supplies, pedal boards, etc.

I would agree. I have a nice pedal collection, but sometimes, bringing a multi to the gig is simpler.

But then again, I may be off the mark here...

Don't you guys see?!? It's the greatest gizmo ever invented! It even has a built-in electric toothbrush, and it runs on solar power so you can play without batteries on dark stages!

Wait... that doesn't make any sense. Solar... poorly lit bar...

On a more serious note, the GT-6B does have its fans here. I'm sure this will, too. Seems to be an improvement on their older models, and it seems to be competing directly against Line 6...

Thanks for posting only the picture. A link itself wouldn't have told me nearly as much - probably around 9999 words less worth.</dry>

Yeah my bad, I mean apart from the fact I only found a picture and nothing to go with it, god forbid someone else finds something else out about a pedal

Sorry guys, I went and found something out about the pedal!

[Geddyfleaharris]

I wouldn't be able to figure it out. I like to be able to see each individual effect and set each one's controls. Whenever I try multifx I can never get the hang of how each control inter-acts. And I hate reading manuals!!

The continuing problem I have with multis is that sounds change depending on venue, room, volume, band, etc. I could make the meanest, coolest sound preset in my bedroom on my amp, and then once I get to a live venue, it could sound like garbage.

Then, getting in and tweaking the preset is a lot more complicated than turning a knob or two on the pedal that is causing the problem.

Example: I have an analogman chorus with deep switch mod. Practicing at home, I had the lushest, coolest chorus I had ever heard. Went to band practice the next mornign before church, turned my amp up, started playing a song, and flicked on the chorus. All of the sudden, instant mush. Not only did I get lost, but at the same time muddied up the band. Bent down, flicked a switch, backed off the knobs a little, and all good to go within a few lines of the song. Try that with a preset multi.

But then again, if you can consistently get "your sound" out of a multi, more power to you! They just aren't for me...especially ones that are preset driven.

It'll read the manual for you, read any websites about it too.

Then again, if you found a sound from your multi that worked for that venue you are playing in, you can store and recall it when you play that venue again. Amazing!

So, it's great for a house band, but bad for a travelling musician.

It looks like it has an effects loop. GT-6B doesn't have that if I'm mistaken.
