You want a DS-1? The circuit is there. You want a Metal Zone? Not a modeled replication, but the real thing. And to me, that is worth the price of admission alone.
Everything from touch sensitive light overdrive, to blues crunch, to 70's rawk to metal to shred and everything in between. Also, the first thing I did when I got the unit was to test the bypass and see if there was any change in tone. No change in tone. Just like using a single Boss stomp. No loss of dynamics either. Boss is known for how clean their bypass is on their individual stomps, and they did it with this unit.
Can't say the same for many of the multi's I've tried over the years. The other thing I like about the unit is that while there aren't as many crazy efx as you find in multi's today, there is plenty of usable stuff. The choruses, delays and reverbs are clean, clear and crisp.
They use a separate green board inside the unit for the digital stuff. Digital time based efx and analog distortion. The way God intended. I don't use the 'gimmick' efx such as the slicer and the vowel effect very often. But they are in there and work great. And programming patches is a breeze at this point. The only nick on the unit is that the Wah kinda sucks. I put my own wah in front of the unit.
The synth tracking is weak, but this problem is prevalent in all boxes that work with analog guitars. A uni-vibe is noticeably absent. But if you use the basics; distortion, chorus, flange, phase, delay, reverb, modulation, whammy, envelope, ring modulation, eq, this box is the best multi that has ever been made. Almost 15 years and close to 2, gigs and not one problem.
Not one. A look under the hood reveals a simple design and construction that is part of the GT3's toughness. Nuff said. There are a ton of these things on Ebay and Craigslist. And they are cheap. And while they don't have all the crazy 'gimmick' efx that today's multi's have, the GT3's efx palate is full of top notch, usable stuff. And since it doesn't suck tone, you can use your own stomp favs with it.
I believe that this box is the best multi ever built. I know a few pros who have put them in their pedal boards just for the distortions! This pedal is in my opinion, an underrated classic. You'll be glad you did. Bought this unit brand new at a local music store.
Reason for buying it: i needed something a bit better than my Boss ME, which was kinda cumbersome and limiting. First, it's -versatile- as hell!!! Anything can be assigned to any control, the effects chain can be modified at will, plus there's a connector for adding some external pedals.
You can get any kind of guitar sound possibly imaginable out of this thing - and the sound quality is outstanding. You can also use it with practically anything that has speakers on it, the stereo output can be "shaped" to fit a conventional guitar amp, a typical home stereo system, a mixer or hea….
Reason for buying it: i needed something a bit better than my Boss ME , which was kinda cumbersome and limiting. You can also use it with practically anything that has speakers on it, the stereo output can be "shaped" to fit a conventional guitar amp, a typical home stereo system, a mixer or headphones, You have to know what you're doing to get the most out of this unit.
Also, not many of the factory presets sound really cool, but with a little tweaking Its only "big" problem is that you can't use several effects in the same 'block' simultaneously, like for ex. Flanger and Harmonist from the "Modulation" block.
Full metal chassis, very solid, and very good mechanical parts exp pedal, footswitches, I've been using this console for about a year and a half, and i'm very happy with it. From acoustic or plain, clean sounds, to ripping heavy distortion, to more flashy synth kinds of sounds, this console delivers, and delivers well.
I'm submitting a review because the other reviewer annoyed me so much by panning it just because it does too much for him to easily understand. The effects are great overall - it's like having a whole bucketload of boss effects in one pedal. The amp sims are pretty good as well I think. I use it to play live and for direct recording. There are shareware programs available windows only, unfortunately , and you might be able to use sound diver , but they should join the 21st century on this.
Some of the included presets are pretty cheesy most use too much reverb, IMHO , but isn't that always the way I think you could drive a car over it and it would be OK. The GT-3 is a great piece of equipment. It does a whole lot for the money, and you should be able to find it even cheaper now that the GT-6 is out. I have been very happy with it and I have only scratched the surface. There is a great user group at yahoogroups.
I got this unit in Memphis TN at yarbrough's music. It retailed in at a wild Well about a week later I went back and played through it and talked the guy's into hooking me up for about And the rest is history.
There are so many great things with this pedal, I mean the preamp is so real on it,it just blows me away. It uses COSM technology which is if you don't know one wicked model maker. Also for all you effects freaks, it has awesome modulation and pitch shifting qualitites. But the real mind blower is the del….
But the real mind blower is the delay, it is so versitile that you can use it in any situation,studio or live. Dude it's just all that and more ,and for the price ,it just can't be beat. Well after raving about all the good stuff ,it's time for the bad. Other than that it's all good. The construction of the pedal is brutal,to bust this you gotta be pretty sick in the head.
It just ain't gonna happen. And the quality is just great,like I said before for the price it just can't be beat. Well the bottom line,you need to go try one,you won't be disappointed at all. For all the stuff thats packed inside,it's like spending ten grand or more. So just go try one and then shell out a few hundred and have a blast when you get home. An advantage of the modeled sound is that the digital model produces the characteristics consistently every time, as opposed to real amplifiers that can sound different from day to day and year to year.
That is why you have to indicate by means of the global settings what your real back-end system is, so that the GT-3 can take the necessary compensatory actions. Page 29 I swear, the GT-3 nailed it perfectly.
To get realistic simulations I feel that's the beauty of a GT The Auto-Riff Phrase. Setting up the Auto-Riff effect in the patch. The GT-3 Auto-Riff feature is capable of much more. The note that triggers the riff does not need to be the first note played in the riff. If you set up your riffs to be triggered with a C and a Db, as described above, every other note you play will cause the factory-preset riff to be triggered.
This is where you set the Auto-Riff tempo in the patch to play at the correct speed, and assign other parameters as well. Page Controlling The Auto-Riff I put the Auto-Riff as the last effect in the chain so that the bass line is not affected by other effects reverb, delay, chorus, etc.
Usually, you should connect the Wah pedal before the distortion pedal so it can regulate the distortion however, hooking it up after the distortion may produce a sound you want. Page Simultaneous Volume And Tuner On The Expression Pedal -- as you get a predictable tone on a single note, and if you play more than a single note, the GT-3 feedbacker does not know what to do and freaks.
By blasting the Hz range with the expression But the cool thing is because you can assign 8 things to the expression pedal you can change the Treble in the preamp or maybe the high- mids in the EQ etc etc.
I'm learning a solo that goes too high for me play comfortably on the neck. The following effects are often used to record Page 48 This sort of stuff is useful if you are playing a guitar synth and using the GT-3 to send patch changes to the synth as well.
In this way you can change your guitar sound without changing the synth patch. Think of it as a load of Stomp boxes. This seems to make sense, but is incorrect. Page Glossary Also improves sustain without adding distortion. Page 54 Event - Something that happens. Expression Pedal - The continuously variable controller on the GT Page 55 Limiter - Limits the peak levels of sounds so they do not exceed a set threshold.
Manual - With regard to operating the GT-3, this is the ability to turn on and off specific effects individually while you play by pressing the push pedals without making adjustments to the patch. Page 56 Octave - Creates a signal one or two octaves lower than the original signal. On—Board - Any part of the GT-3 that is physically located on the unit itself, such as the Numbered pedals.
Order Of Effects - Defines where an effect is placed in the signal path. If you had individual effect pedals, this would be the sequence in which you connect them with the cables. Page 57 Step - A single numbered instruction which is part of a logical series of numbered instructions.
