So i think the effects are better and you can tweak them more.
It's the perfect multifx pedalboard (minus the synths) eheheh

Boss GT-10B
- Thread starter BassBus
- Start date
The GT-10B is way better than the GT-6B, with loads more effects, more control, better sounding COSM, (the GT-6B preamps were poo), but the synth is said to be a step backward in options, but with the GT-10B you get 2 synths,(and pretty much 2 of everything), plus the parallel effect chains.
Having said that, since i got the Roland GR-55, my GT-10B has been thrown in the outside "back room" of retired gear, i haven't looked at it for 2 months.

Sounds kool, I don't care for the synth too much myself. The modeled pre'amps are so-so on the 6b IMO usable but not wow me, I love the 3 band para EQ tho! Cab sim is ok for quiet gigs, and it did take me a while to learn how and where all the parameters are. the fact is the 6B's are going for 120-180 all day. I guess I'll have to go down to the guitcntr and try a 10B out, I'm interested in improving my sound quality.
I still have mine sitting on the floor to A-B against the GR-55 which I cannot get to sound as good from a straight bass amp sim aspect or for the dirt.
Can anyone tell me how exactly to change the order of the effects chain on each patch? I can't seem to find the info in the manual....
Mucho props.

Easiest option, if you want to use a graphical editor + computer, is to use the editor software from the link in my signature, and re-arrange the pedals by simply dragging and dropping on screen..
To do it on the GT-10B (or any GT model) is a bit fiddley.

After a few days tweaking the GT-10B, i manage to understand everything that this big unit does. It is amazing how much things can be configured!
I am falling in love with the modulation amps, and the manual mode: it's like having a real pedalboard with separated effects.
I have to try this in a gig. I need to.

I'm sure the manual covers this.
* Select your patch
* Press Master/Pedal FX
* Arrow to Effects Chain
* Press Enter
* Arrow to the FX you want to move then use the rotary to move it around. Getting it from Channel A to Channel B can be confusing, but just keep moving it and eventually it'll go where you want
* You can also quickly access a specific FX by pressing it's hardware button which jumps you to it
* Don't forget to save
Editing with the hardware GUI isn't that difficult once you do it a few times, though the floorboard editor is certainly a lot easier since it's drag-n-drop and doesn't require nested menus as with the hardware GUI.
I love the floorboard software from gumtown, but i'm getting around with the GT-10B GUI and it's simple to operate too. Once you nail it, you can change thing in no time.
Can someone give me the spec of the myxomatosis bass from radiohead.. i almost nail it..
This unit is insane!! i love it!!

I didn't know the song, so I listened to it....I suppose you are reffering to the sound that starts (and continues throughout the song?) that is clearly coming from a synth (keyboard) it will be impossible to copy exactly on the GT 10B because you can hear the sound is coming from more than 1 oscillator, the best way to try and come close to that is by using a slow chorus effect..

The GT-10B synth is the weak spot of the unit. The synth voices are weak and forced into a down-sweep with no ability to make them sweep up.
In that song you hear a up swept pitch/filter and VCA (volume) to give it that quick ramp-up sound and feel to the attack. You simply can't layer that many effects in the GT-10B, you'd need to use the bass synth into slow gear, into some gain/overdrive, into a blended octave to help give that second voice, and into some chorus. Maybe move the overdrive after the chorus. I won't sound like that song, and I don't think you can get that close to the sound.
However in a live setting just some sort of bassy synth sound is probably adequate.
I'm sorry, but I disagree, the Moog Taurus sound I have created does come close to that sound...in my opinion ofcourse. I use no distortion, only the synth section, delay and chorus. A while back I owned that Markbass Supersynth pedal, and even though that has a great synth section (3 oscillators) in a live band setting the difference was negligable.
Here are BOSS GT-10B synth patch clips from my personal synth patches. Note I use an OC-2 in the FX LOOP. It really darkens and thickens the synth sounds IMO. Probably need to roll off the sub-lows actually.
Do they sound synthy? I think so, I don't think it is obvious they're produced with a bass guitar and a single multieffects product. Do they sound super fantastic? I think they sound mediocre to good depending on the patch. But definitely limited in the variety you can produce.

gastric, I will look into recording some samples, I must admit, I have no clue where to post them on the net, I can't post samples on my website, but I'll see if I can find the time to do it.
I've just listened to your samples, they all sound very different from what I have.
If all fails I could always post my settings here.
