dear all,

after much playing and stuffs, decided to convert all playing to multi fx.
so right now i eliminate much choice. it's either boss GT8 or GT 10,

but also tempting to checkout line 6 or others offering.
any one can share your joy and pain.

very much appreciated
 
Hi bro i would think the GT-10's value for money is approximately 8/10

The stuff on the M-efx are really good provided you can use all the functions available such as the dual amp system and stuff. If you can i suggest you get the GT-10 rather than the 8 :D just my 2 cents worth

For other stuff like the line6s im unsure so yea..
 
I know. Even then. The GT8 is a stage ready multiefx pedal. nothing more. The POD is all that and more.


pardon me,
can you explain withe "all that and more"
from the naked view of the pod pix, it seem that they are very simplifed,
and i thought it's might be a down scaled competiting product to GT series

The POD is a one stop guitar recording interface. Any amp you want, it probably can simulate. When recording yourself onto the PC, it just uses a USB connection, and you have full control over it via the PC. Also, there's a huge library of tones on www.customtone.com by Line 6 ensuring you'll never run dry of tones.

Also, you can skew your recording tones to ANYTHING you want. Mic far? Mic near? Realignment of pedals? All controllable via PC.

For use as a multi-efx, just switch off the amp stage, or keep it on if you're using a neutral clean amp and emulate that vintage marshall you want.

It's more complex than anythign else on the market, but much easier to use.

Lets see the GT do all that.

interestingly, since edirol is under roland, if they wanna combined the recording interface thingy into the gt, it would be something similar. But i guess they have a separate direction between recording and geetaring gear.

Ya... it should have been a no brainer. But the Japanese do things differently, I guess.
 
Yes, my point in my previous post. Pod X3 is superior to GT-8/10 in terms of amp simulation and modulation sounds less synth-like. Boss's pitch shifter/tracker is better than Pod but effects have a synth-like characteristic that's quite obvious in most demos of it on youtube.
 
Hi there IMO.. it really depends what you're after.. Each of the multiFX boards have their own strength.. I haven't tried the BOSS GT yet only the VOX and XTLive.. but here's my simple conclusion based on my experience with them:

BOSS GT: Better for FX, Good FX, Flexible routing....

Vox ToneLab: Limited FX and routing, Better for Amp Sim with the valve :D..Sweet

XTLive: Great versatility, bi-channel routing, pretty decent FX.. but somehow, my experience with Line6 Pods is they can get quite harsh and digital. (maybe it's the lack of skill in tweaking)

Which is better? It depends.. ;)

(and then there's always the Nova System?)
 
agree w whitestrat.Me 2 using POD X3L.its easy to tweak and find ur modelling amps/effects and such la.But come tp a point that GT10 for me,the tones are "nicer"feel.That doesnt mean that POD X3L doesnt.ur prefference bro.and ur $$
 
I agree. I own the VOX Tonelab LE and it definately shines in its amp/cab sims. It is the most analog sounding among all the multi-fx pedals imo. After playing through all 3 brands of pedals, I still stuck to my Tonelab. For recording, i just stuck the output into my line-in of my Audigy X-Fi and no one could tell that it was from a multifx.
