Boss GT6B Bass Effects Processor
The GT-6B Bass Effects Processor is Boss's first new bass multi-effects processor in over five years. This fully professional floor-based unit offers new COSM� Bass Amp Modeling with new modeled compression, plus other "must-have" effects like COSM overdrive/distortion, COSM wah, and reverb/delay. There's also a true analog bypass, plus XLR and digital outputs for recording applications — making the GT-6B the leader in high-quality multi-effects for bass.
Feature:
It actually has way too many features for me. Having four different compressors is great. You can really tweak your sound that way. Having a bass roll-off on the chorus is key to using it on the bass and this has it. The reverb is of pretty good quality. Being able to set the frequency and Q for the EQ is very useful.
Quality:
This puppy is a TANK. I can't imagine it ever breaking.
Value:
They took the guitar model and added some stuff for bass. I would rather have them remove some of the useless stuff (IMHO) and make a less expensive version.
Sound:
If you're looking for a variety of amp models and sounds, this is the rig for you. You can get a bunch of different sounds by messing around with the parameters for each amp model.
Support:
N/A
Overall:
I almost returned this, but thank God I didn't. Forget the presets. Really. Most of them are to show off the various effects, not to help you dial in a sound. Instead start with EZ Tone or simply turn off all of the effects and start with a preamp model. You're better off building from scratch. What I did was take each amp model and copy it to a user bank (U1, U2, etc). I then set up the compression, a chorus, a reverb and one other effect. For each model I made three copies (U1-1, U1-2, etc). I then tweaked each one of those. I now have 24 presets that give me a wide range of usable sounds.
