Nah, we still get boned. Plus our Aussie funbucks aren't worth a whole lot so we get shafted on the currency crosses as well
Does anyone have issues with Tone Studio locking up when you are looking at an effect with a bunch of LFOs assigned to it?
I used the assign array to turn my PEQ into a modulation pedal, and now every time I try to adjust that effect from Tone Studio the program locks up and I have to shut it down.
Is this just a quirk I have to live with or is there something one of y'all have done to stabilize the program?

Yeah, Tone Studio is temperamental. I've had a couple of issues with it, and it's slow as heck. Some things are better done on the device. It's a big and clunky app.

Hey.
As you know, I'm a proud user of a gt1b.
Tonight a friend come to my house with his Helix LT.
Ok.
Gt1b sounds good but Helix it's great.
Seriously.
I put a lot a work on my go to patch on my gt1b.
Within 15 minutes I was able to replicate and even get a better sounding patch with helix.
I dont know but I'm selling my gt1b I'm sorry. It's a great device but helix it's better.
Have a nice day everyone!

No shame in improving your rig. To each their own. Everyone’s needs & situation is different. Enjoy the Helix.
I guess the fact that it's $1,200 vs $200 doesn't matter to you.
I mean I can get a good sounding emulation of my gt1b...but helix it's better...I dont know how to explain it...its not about flexibility...its about the sound.. it sounds great...I actually did an a/b test...dont get me wrong gt1b it's a great device but helix it's outstanding.
Careful jumping to the Helix before trying the gt1000 or a quad cortex. Helix tech is old. I'm loving my gt1000core
NU, can you give a pretty dumbed down comparison of moving from the GT-1B to the GT-1000 Core? Not sure exactly what I’m asking as I can’t articulate my GT-1B usage other than moving through 10 presets and tweaking them to my liking that day. Was going to finally dive into the GT but thought I’d check to see if I should skip it. Definitely no consideration for a helix. There must be a thread for that elsewhere
I would recommend first deciding what you want your GT-1B to do, or finding example how it should sound. Than start with empty slot and build it first with main effect, i.e. chorus, than tweaking it to you liking with EQ or amp/cab sim.
If you just dive in and tweak everything here and there, soon you will be overwhelmed.

If you're interested in doing stuff like splitting your signal into three separate channels and assigning treble, mid range, and bass frequencies to those channels, then the GT1K/Core will do that.
If you've got a good amp and cab, and just need some effects and drive tones, then the GT 1B is probably the better way to go, IMO.

Good enough to calm my visa spending for now. Thanks. Ill dig into the GT-1B. I have been playing either through a PA or headphones via a zoom livetrak. Also have 3 DG pedals.
New Bass player here, coming from extensive guitar background....I have used guitar floor pedal modelers for years and prefer this flexibility of tone. This brings me to check out the GT-1B. What are people using to actually monitor their GT-1B on stage? I typically use in-ears...but then often times the band will want to hear bass also, regardless of whether we have a PA with monitoring happening, etc.. Anyway just wondering how people are using this or other modelers on stage with or without some kind of lightweight amp, etc..
First welcome, but I am not sure I understand the confusion. How would you have let the rest of the band hear you when you used a guitar floorboard? It should be no different for bass. For me, I play only at church on a silent stage so anything I bring goes through an XLR to FOH then returns to stage via the Aviom IEM mixers. I suppose if you do not have an IEM system for the band then you would just send to an amp on stage. For a mixed system, put a DI between the Boss and your amp to send a signal to FOH.
I use an amp on stage, but even if I didn't I use a seperate di that can route everything to the desk and an outboard in-ear transmitter.
The radial is my DI, the dual switch is how I cycle through patches and all the buttons on the unit are for turning effects off and on.
In answer to one person, I was the only person using IEM and I had to manage it through my own rack which I expect to do now too. I still had to have my guitar playing through an amp and cab on stage for the rest of the band to hear me as they never wanted to bother with setting up proper monitoring. A silent stage with everyone together on iem would be a dream luxury for me hehe
So you guys using GT-1B tend to simply plug into PA and let the band hear you through stage monitors? Or do you run through some kind of amp/cab on stage and if so what do you use? In the guitar realm a lot of guys try to use full range stage monitor for their guitar modeled sound, though I specifically chose not to before because I personally liked the sound of my guitar more when I ran it through a 20/20 tube amp and through an actual guitar cab, but that was my personal decision. But anyway bass is different animal in some ways so I am wondering what you guys do. Thanks

I use an amp on stage. A quilter BB800 through a BFM Jack 210 usually. Most of our sound guys prefer some stage volume, though, so YMMV.
