Scored a Boss GT-8 - NPD!!

Hey Panda,nice to have you back  :thumb-up:

I built my own FS6, using some web page that provided the wiring diagram. I get two buttons on that and the CTRL button for three FX per patch. How do you get four? ???

Thanks Marshall! Good to be back.

Dante, the GT-10 has 2 Control pedals on it already so I can add control #3 and control #4 which are currently controlled by my FS-6.

AH!  :thumb-up:

So, you could actually get FIVE if you used your CTRL pedal too?  O0

[Samuraipanda]

You are correct sir.

Necro - bump in this old thread....

I just scored a GT-8 outta Yahoo Auctions 2 weeks ago and this thing is probably the best 40$ I spent last month (aside from a bottle of Ki No Bi Gin).

I got invited by some Japanese friends to join various sessions the last few months. I mostly use the backline or whatever gear is at the venue (I bring my own guitar and a (occasionally) a Mesa Flux Drive to get the backline amps a tad bit more to my tastes.
In Tokyo you cannot drive to the venue with your car, unload and park the car...there´s no space.
Gigbag with guitar and backpack and the Tokyo Metro takes you where you need to go....

So during the last session one of the guys had an awesome guitar sound....and I mean really awesome. And that dude was just using a Boss GT-3 into the Loop return of some backline amp. I was stunned.
Since everything worth doing is worth overdoing I found a GT-8 for the above mentioned 40$ and sat down with it (...and I RTFM!). The COSM amp sims as they're stored in there were somewhat meeeeh....but page 63 of the manual ("Customizing the COSM Preamps") revealed the whole potential.
I recorded some loops with my go-to presets from the AxeFX and also used some recorded bits of my "real" Boogie amps and sat down with the GT-8 and started editing and comparing.
The "Connoisseur" might hear a difference (and most certainly somehow feel it) but at stage volume and (Dante quote:) for the folks screaming "Freebird" this thing gets me real shocking close.

Stoopid drunk guy with his friends: FREEBIRD!!!

me: look buddy, we don't even play that song....you wanna pick one from our setlist? like, one in this set? like maybe this song right HERE?!?

===============

Nice score SC!! I never had the patience for that thing. It took me a couple months to figure out a decent gain tone and, buy then, I moved on to other things. I dreamed of just carrying one of those and a guitar. Good on you, bro.  :thumb-up:
