Boss GT-8 Guitar Multi-Effects Pedal
200 stunning preset patches and 140 user patches; 44 effects categories, up to 13 simultaneous FX blocks. BOSS's most powerful floor-based processor!
"Pretty cool, for the $$$"
Feature:
The Pre-amp section is nice, a good tone can be achieved if you play around a little. Octave, Pedal bend and Harmonist are awsome, many ways to tweak and eq. Compressor and limiter are decent depending on which patch you use them with. Wah is lacking a bit, sounds like when you run a wah pedal straight into an amp. Uni-Vibe is balls on accurate. The Guitar Simulator function is interesting...you can combine your tone with solid body/semi hollow, hollow, chambered etc, the coolest thing about this feature: If you are playing a strat, or any other solid body, and select the Hollow body guitar sim function, you will get feedback and sustain at low levels, as if you were playing an ES-335 through an old Marshall at high volume. One annoying thing I have found about this unit is this; While in a patch, if you select an effect and tweak the parameters, you can not select another effect without exiting out of the patch and negating the changes you made to the FX parameters. Perhaps I need to read the manual a bit more...but other than this, the GT-8 is pretty user intuitive. Ah, yes!!! and the reverbs...they sound great over headphones and direct into a board. Selections include; plate, hall, spring, fender tweed, etc. Dealys are nice as well, single voice, dual voice, panning, ping pong, tap, etc. Distortions can be a bit "fuzzy", sort of like an Arbiter Fuzz Face, or a Big Muff, but over all for the price, one should not complain, with a little knob twisting the distortions sound close to authentic. The "Feedbacker" and "Defretter" functions are fun to play around with, particularly when combined with the "wave synth". Speaking of "Wave Synth"... Tracking is great, sounds better than the old Roland GR series, if you are into Pat Methany (eg. Tony Williams: Wilderness), you will probably enjoy this patch. Wave Sythn can also be tweaked, choose from Saw, Sine, Square or one or two other wave forms which elude my memory at this time. All patchs/effects can be tweaked, and EQ'd in their own right, so take your time, grab yourself a cold beer and set aside a few hours.
Quality:
Solid built, made of metal. Knobs are tight. You could probably drop this thing down 3 flights of stairs and it would still work perfectly.
Value:
For the sound and features, it is a must have for the $$$
Desirability:
Sounds great and is made of black gun metal. What more do you need???
Sound:
Sound quality is great. However....Depending on what type of amp you are playing through, you may be a bit dissapointed. I am currently using a Roland Cube 30. For those of you not familiar with this amp, it is a small pratice model, but sounds similar to a jc-120. The GT-8 has an "Output selection" function, designed to maximize the true sound of this pedal. I can't vouch for all of the output selections (JC-120, MS combo, etc)but the "Small amp" output leaves somthing to be desired. That aside, the effects sound awsome. Amp modeling is very good (through headphones, and probably through a larger amp than my own)The Uni-Vibe sounds very nice, as does the "Another Brick" patch in bank 24.....if you dig Gilmour's solo in the song from the same name (part 2?). "Slow Gear" in bank 79 is great...It reminds me of an Alan Holdsworth type effect, very cool...The distorions are decent, many selections to choose from. Everything from Arbiter fuzz to Rfier to MS 1970. Obviously, these sounds are not dead on, but for all intents and purposes, they sound great. If you are looking for an "expressive product" this is it man...I've had this unit for 4 weeks and I still haven't fully utilized all of its functions. I play a wide range of stlyes, and so far, I have found a factory patch that suites my needs. As far as other products in this class go, you may want to check out the Zoom G92TT, the sounds are comparable and the G92TT has USB conectivity, is tube driven (1 12AX7) and comes bundled with Cubase LE. Currently I am using an Electro-Harmonix HOG and a Synth pedal with this unit. The GT-8 has both of these features, but not in the capacity that I would like.
Ease of Use:
With a little tweaking you can get any sound you want. Getting a really good sound however, can be a bit frustrating at times. This should be expected though, considering that you are editing on a screen no larger than a Camel Wide. I have had no problems with compatibilty. There is a slight learing curve, but if you have used Multi-effects boards in the past, it might take you about 10 minutes to figure this thing out. Haven't read the manual yet. Bottom line, if you are looking for a mass amount of quality effects to play around with, and don't want spend THOUSANDS on individual pedals the GT-8 is the way to go.
Support:
Judging by the quality of this unit, I would assume that support is impeccable. I haven't had to call them though.
Overall:
Great unit, not a 10 as I am sure it will obsolete within a few years.

"The Coming of age console in the life of the GT series."
Feature:
You really can't complain with the amount of amp models and Distortion/Overdrives that are offered. A turbo feature to boost your distortion and overdrive capabilities appears on this unit that wasn't on the previous one. I do like that you can have more pairings with the FX 1 and 2's this time around. I own the GT-6 and this was definitely a limitation on that unit. Still not perfect here as certain effects still can't be paired up, but a BIG step from the GT-6. The chain is upgraded to accomodate more effects simultaneously. Also, a separate compressor (finally). How did they ever miss this one on the GT-6? The real sell on this console, though are the following: 1) The solo button, which allows you to break into a screaming lead, without a loss of volume. This can be done to any amp model. 2) The "dynamics" feature puts this machine in a class all on its own. This is where the system shines. A very intelligent system indeed. You can control effects by the way you pick your strings. The machines determines what effects you want activated just by changing your picking style. Very responsive here. It tracks perfectly. Lastly, the A and B Channels make this console a dynamic tool altogether. Almost makes you want to go out and get a second amp because the flexibility is as good as you will ever hope for.
Quality:
I only wish Boss made their guitar synths this sturdy. The engineers knew a good thing when they constructed the GT-6 and this machine is pretty much an exact replica of that but with darker skin. It shouldn't be abused but you'd have little success stomping this rhino to submission.
Value:
It should cost more (and I'd be willing to pay more if they made the right amendments such as more knobs for tonal range of the effects and a proper manual equalizer). Too many amendments would make this processor astronomical in price so there is a "less is best" approach to it too. Not too many guitarist would be willing to fork extra cash for a prettier display screen (except me).
Desirability:
Only a prettier display screen would make this console a centrefold. Very sleek and practical design. One of the better looking systems out there. The paint job is cool. Even a minor knick would look natural on this floorboard's speckled charcoal grey skin.
Sound:
All in all the GT-8 is a great package for what you pay. The models are as good as you could hope for in one package in comparison to any other unit I've tried within its class (and I've tried many). My only complaint--this is with the entire GT line in general: I want greater control over certain effects such as compressor and delay. Range seems lacking in this area. A single knob just doesn't cut it when you're fine tuning. Some effects aren't as "flexible" as their stomp box counterparts. Just one of the console's limitations.
Support:
I wish I could pass a rating here since I've never had to contact the Roland help staff. Just means that I've never had a problem with this console or its predecessor. In fact, both my GT-6 and 8 were bought in Japan, and I was able to obtain an English manual on order within a week for $10. Nice. Good enough support for me... not to mention the info you could get from their website.
Overall:
Well, the R&D team at Roland will eventually top this machine in 3 years time. However, when I got my GT-6 I knew right away that it wasn't to the standard I had hoped for but was still the best thing going at the time for a meat and bone floor board. This is the first of a long list of guitar effects units that I am actually completely satisfied with... Of course it could be better, but that would mean giving up a meal a day to pay for the upgrades.

"Tweak and you shall find..."
Feature:
Being relatively new to MFX processors, I had no idea what to expect from the GT-8, but I am thrilled at all the possibilities it provides. The ability to layer, combine, and split different amp channels and models is a definite plus. The dynamic switching mode, although a bit difficult to figure out at first, is also useful. I have yet to mess around much with the FX chain option, but the ability to alter it freely is nice to have. I am particularly impressed with the range of parameters in all the effects, as I mentioned above. They allow for almost limitless customization of your tone.
Quality:
I received my GT-8 new and in perfect condition. It's heavy hard design is a testament to the quality of Boss products. They are built to be TOUGH. Finger smudges do show fairly easily on the LED screen and on the metal chassis, but they are just as easy to wipe off with a soft cloth. I am not worried too much about losing my data, but I have begun to backup all my patches, just in case. I have no doubts that it would hold up on tour pretty well with the right road case.
Value:
I did not try out other similar products before buying this, but after using it for a while I am convinced that the value of this machine holds up pretty well next to others such as the PODxt and Vox Tonelab.
Desirability:
There is not much sex appeal in equipment like this, sadly! The average listener just wants to hear good music and enjoy the vibes. Not many (except other musicians) really care about all the technical aspects or what kind of gear you use. For my own aesthetic needs, though, the GT-8 satisfies in looks. The black metallic finish is cool-looking, and its design is nearly flawless both inside and out. It has definitely opened my eyes more to the capabilities of MFX units.
Sound:
With some tweaking and fiddling around, the GT-8 can deliver some awesome sounds. The effects, while all of them are not necessarily authentic, have excellent parameter variables to mess with to help achieve your ideal tone. Some of the distortion models can turn out a bit too "fizzy" for some people's likings, but I found if you combine them with the right preamp models and sound levels, this can be eliminated.
Ease of Use:
I have read (and learned) that there is a steep learning curve for the GT-8. It is true that not everyone is going to want to to sit down for hours on end reading a manual and taking an in-depth journey into the inner workings of a piece of equipment. That said, this is NOT a plug-and-play device. So, unless you are willing to put forth the time in learning and familiarizing yourself with most of, if not all of the functions, it might be better to move on to something else...even though achieving great things (like great tone) requires time and effort anyway.
Support:
I have not had to call in for servive or support yet.
Overall:
After only owning this machine for about 6 months, it has very much become a crucial part of my setup. It provides me with limitless possibilities for shaping ideal tones, and has even proven useful in writing situations. I have yet to try it live, but I have no doubts that it will hold up fine.

"Quality Quality Quality - Boss has done well!"
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:The most pristine effects out there for this price. My only complaint is the Spring Reverb's "boing", but that is pretty minor and perhaps a firmware update will address it. The effects loop in invaluable. More parameter depth than anything in this price. Cool Cool Co0l.
Quality:
Couldn't ask for it to be built more solid.
Value:
For this price, you are not going to find a better quality product. They key word here is quality. You might find something with more features, but not better quality in my opinion.
Desirability:
I own it. It rocks.
Sound:
Can't give it a 10 because it's not perfect, but I would have given it a 9.5. This thing is just plain sweet. Adjust your master input, presences, global eq, and master patch settings and after that you will be blown away with what you care create!
Support:
They were quick to respond to several emails by me.

Overall:
just but it.
"Great new pedal from Boss."
Feature:
It has everything you would ever want or need, and so much that it might take a while to find it all. A nice new feature is the dynamics sensor, basicly you can make it switch amps if you pick harder and switch back if you are picking soft, very cool.
Quality:
This thing is built tough and is made to last. I will be taking it out on its first gig next week and I am shoure it will work great.
Value:
I paid $445.00 for mine and it is worth every penny.
Desirability:
This monster even looks cool now that it is black and it is just a cool looken pedal.
Sound:
This thing is unbeliveable, I just got it today and I have been playing around with it ever since. It is great for getting ANY sound you want, and is also has a EVH 5150 amp model witch sounds much better.
Support:
I havent had to contact boss about anything yet but they are a great company and offers great support.
Overall:
Overall this pedal is awesome, I would reccomend it to anyone who is looking at a multi-effects processor. I never owned a gt-6 but i have played with them and this thing is a huge step up from the gt-6. It is definitely the coolest pedal I have ever seen or used.
