Who else uses a BOSS GT-10 ?

I do. 4 cable method into Bugera 6262. It took a lot of fiddling with Send/Return values to get the levels right if I bypass the amp and use the onboard pre-amp instead, but apart from that, it's plug-and-play for me now. Not sure what tricks you'd have in mind?

I use the GT-Pro (Rack Version of the GT-8) with my 5150 via 4CM. Getting the right levels is really a pain in the ass.
FYI: Problem is, that the 5150 has its Post Gain before the FX Loop.

I had to set the Send to 100 and Return to 180 to make sure the Bugera wasn't attenuating the signal too much before it came back into the GT-10. Was it similar with the 5150, Markus? I use the Output on the GT-10 as a master volume anyway and that seems to work fine.
I also set the assigns on the volume pedals so that when it is fully heel-down and 'silent', the tuner comes on - useful for tuning up between songs or quiet sections. However, it's not truly 'silent' for me, and I think that's the fault of the amp being not entirely wired in serial (although how that is possible, I have no idea).
Also, another 'trick' I just remembered: I try not to change patches during a song as the patch change time is just too slow and noticeable. So I usually have Ctl-1 and Ctl-2 set to switch several things at once (eg. I have one patch where Ctl-2 adds EQ, reverb, chorus, and delay, to change a rhythm sound into a lead sound), and can also use the Channel A/B switching to go through very different configurations with no latency.

I didn't remember exactly how I set the levels,
but I remember like it was yesterday...that it was a lot of hassle

I don't get it, why a lot of Amp Manufactures set their Master Volume before the FX-Loop.
I use the Boss' Master Volume too, but I don't really like it.
Playing directly with a cable into the 5150 (or any other amp) is something completely different (in a good way).

I also changed from Preset based Patches to switching FX on/off.
So my delay can swell out when switching to clean f.e..

GT8 + 6505 with 4 CM here.
My FX loop send/return are both at 100 but the master volume (patch) must be at 126.
And here is how I set the knob in the back of the unit. Take note that I only use the GT8 for FX, I don't use the amp sims that are built in.

Watch out, it's sharp!
GT10 + ENGL Invader with 4CM here.
I use the GT10 for effects, cleans and leads, and the ENGL ch3 for rhythm. Did not have much problems with the levels, in fact I bought the GT10 because with it I could finally balance out the levels, instead of having to live with signal loss like on my old GT5 (which collects dust now).
