Boss GT-10B

[Gaetano Paul]

So, I can have my distortion pedal on all the time and it only will sound when I recall the preset I have assigned it to?
it won't affect the rest of the patches if I leave it on?

Exactly, you can even assign the s/r to a pedal to make it on or off by hitting it.

 

[Gaetano Paul]

What you want to do is only engage the s/r for that one patch, and have it on off for your other patches. The semi tricky part, and not really too bad, is saving it at that point LOL, go into Master FX, I think, then pedal chain, move your chain and put the s/r where ever you want, turn it on, back out of there, then save. Very easy.

And you can fully control the level sent to and from the gear in your SEND/RETURN. I found that sending a super hot signal into my BOSS OC-2 generated an awesome clipped square wave that I wouldn't have ever found without the GT-10B.

The SEND/RETURN on the GT-10B can be controlled exactly like any other FX block. Move it around. Use assigns to control it's available parameters. Put it in CHANNEL A while other stuff is in CHANNEL B (good for clean blends).

Thanks, that's perfect...I'm definitely buying one now!

Yeah PauBass, just remember it is no toy, it WILL require you to spend time reading the manual, there is a learning curve, but not to bad as long as your not technologically challenged LOL

Thanks for the advice...I'm a bit used to my X3 Live which is not easy to set up properly either so I should be fine...I hope

Yes! Your all set bro, go for it man! The interface is much better than the X3L

Cool, cheers...I've already found one, should be with me beginning of next week

The more I Play with the GT10b the more I'm amazed by it ... its just astounding whats possible with this thing once you figure it out & I think I'm just at the tip of the Iceberg!

Some of the best money I ever spent on music gear!

 

[Randall]

So both my guitarist use boss gt's and want me to pick up the Gt-10b. My question is do you guys gig with this unit or is it just a home/studio toy?
They both seem to have "volume" level issues with all of their patches and seem to be forever tweaking them

 

[TheBogart]

... and seem to be forever tweaking them

This is the wonderful thing about multi-fx.. we are always searching for new sounds!!

Sounds like they simply aren't very good at leveling their patch volumes. Testing through headphones and then testing in a full band mix are different animals.

Or it could be that they're simply competing with each other for volume. Which is a totally different subject all together and not at all related to any particular piece of gear.

No gigs without it overhere!

 

[Randall]

Not really a volume war as we all wear in ears. We record all our practices and the lead guitarist especially has issues with his patch volumes and is forever adjusting them. Does the gt10b have the same issues?

It's not like patch volumes mysteriously change on their own. They're saved with the patch and stay that way unless changed. Assuming everything else before and after the GT stays the same, so should the audible output tone and level. Same goes for Line6 gear, or really any other pedal effects, multi or otherwise. The output form the gear doesn't mysteriously change on it's own unless someone is fiddling with stuff. So I'm not sure what 'issue' the gear has.

 

[Eddy Flycatcher]

I don't (and have never had) problems with the volume of any patch...but I don't use the amp models of the GT-10B.
There's 2 guitarists with (GT6's) in my band, and the only problems they have had was to do with using the pre-amps of the Boss combined with the pre-amps build into their backline amps, they insist on using the amp models of the GTs to simulate overdrive plus more distortion effects from the GTs and that doesn't really go well if you have your amp also on overdrive....

...guitarists......who needs them?

 

[PauBass]

Cool, I've had my GT-10B for a week and I'm really liking it so far. Included with it was the Tutorial DVD so understanding all the possibilities of this unit is so much easier...they are endless!

Two questions that I haven't found an answer for:

- Can the EQ button, which is parametric EQ, be changed to Graphic EQ instead? If so, how please?

- When using the Dynamic A/B Channel Modes, can the sensitivity at which the second channel kicks in be adjusted? Again, if so, how, please?

 

[Darknut]

Anybody running a GT10b with a pedal juice?

 

[dug dog]

Does the gt10b have the same issues?

I've noticed that the volume of the various presets is all over the place, so if you're using those as a jumping off point for your own user patches, there will be a certain amount of volume tweaking required.

However, once you've got the volumes set, they don't change.

 

[Darknut]

The specs say the GT10b pulls 800 mA.
Does anyone know if it is a consistent 800mA draw or does it vary depending on the effects running at once? I suspect it varies but does anyone know for sure or how much?
