Im interested in getting one of these. I noticed that you can connect your pre amp so you can switch channels on it using the gt. It also looks like you can connect 2 different pres, and select from either as you like. Anyone have any experience with these?
Is it worth the extra money over the gt-8?
My setup is a rack system (rocktron power amp, peavey rockmaster pre amp).
Also anyone know whether you set the preamp in the fx chain... so you can have say OD then the preamp (rocktron) then the other fx as needed?
Hi my friend....hope you are well. Im Eddy Leger (lunatic4444)........i have two GT-Pros and a T-8 and use two Crown XLSv1,v2,v3..........or i go to JC-120 or Princeton. I love, love , love them..........i find them much superior to the axe fx. OK you may not agree, but the GT is all metal switchcraft jacks along the back. I have designed a fx sheet, a list of all parameters to all functions......303 lines long......but took me a month to log all Patches, factory, and my settings. You have sooooo much to offer if you are a "tone tweeker"....lol.....the deeper ya dive the better.......i still can't say i know everything.......2 fx loops , ser/paralel, and a pre-loop....chose open or close cab, mic type distance and types, stereo main out + sub out (direct to board).........i would buy a third if i could find another....people have no idea how forward it is and a tweekers heaven. A short story, i bugged my Roland/Boss rep for four years begging him to sell, he finally did and what a surprise.....it was originally sent to Randy Bachman to evaluate, then sent it back but signed the bottom, and he got 4 more, the to Alex Lifeson, same thing, he evaluated it, signed it, sent it back, he got a few to record (at the time) but i saw studio rig and saw two in there. Anyway, they left their settings, each, and now i got all their settings and experiments.....i can take pics for you if you wish........im newbie here, kinda, my opinion........i got two and the GT-8 because they share same everything except less output options...( not much real estate on GT8........anyway, hope this helps, feel free to contact me, if you get one............i promise, it will consume your time, because its so rewarding to have every possible tool in them. Be well my friend........my email is
