Great Multi-effect unit for peanuts.

Post by Robert Burgess »

Just got the new Boss' GT100 unit and very impressed with the sounds (direct to p.a.) ease of edit is a breeze plus it is fully usb upgradable with a host of new sounds.The Expression pedal is a dream to use and easily performs duty with my steel,and the whole unit costs about what a good V/pedal would.So now switching between guitar and steel is just a few dabs on the up/down pedals and away. :D

For Unusual Values of "Peanuts."

More amps than guitars, and not many effects

Have to say that amount is the Government figure grossly distorted by high earners.
Just looked it up and actually four in five new jobs average $530 p/w.

Checked out some demos on YouTube....yes it does seem like an awesome, very advanced yet somewhat easy to use/program unit.
Do you use the Rock presets on your steel?

Alan....that's why 2 great Canadian nurses from where I was "done" have returned to Canada. They loved U.K. but told me they just couldn't afford to live here anymore. Our loss big time....they were great nurses.

Hello, Robert...

Now that you've had the GT-100 for a while, what do you think about it?

Would you recommend it to other steelers?

How do you deal with the jacks on the back? Do they get in the way?

Thanks.

Andrew
