How good are these pedals? I'm looking to get rid of all my standalone pedals and get one bigger unit. I'd also like for it to be good at direct recording into pro tools as I have neighbors and can't crank a tube amp. I'd really like some good tight distortions so how are they? are they too digital? good delays? Anything bad about these pedals?

These are all with my GT-6 into my Hammond amp, so not direct, but it'll give you an idea. If I dig up anything else, I'll let you know.
from : localhost/really want a GT-8, but can't justify spending the money right now.

I have the GT-6 as well, and love it over all. It's fantastic for direct recording...just make sure you have a decent set of speakers for your computer. I didn't at first, so I had to run the second output into my practice amp so I could hear while I was recording.

The factory pre-sets are so so....some are great, and some are lousy. The thing I like is the ability to make changes to the presets by tweaking knobs, just like on an amp or pedal. Of course you can go in and do global changes and all sorts of other menu type changes, but I don't have that much patience. The pedal models offered are pretty good as well, but again it takes a little tweaking to get them sounding good.

I guess what I'm saying is that if you have patience for tweaking and customizing your sound, making menu changes, ect....the potential of the unit is almost unlimited. Even for what limited changes I make, it's totally worth the $$.

If you listen to my soundclips, Heavens Door, Plush, Interstate Love Song, All Right Now, Hanging By A Moment are all done with the GT-6 direct to my computer, ACID Pro is my recording platform.

I highly recommend it. It also sounds really good if you run it into the effect loops of a tube amp, and use the unit as your pre-amp!

Thanks for the replys. It sounds like a good overall pedal and I don't mind tweaking.

My songs quot;Beef and Orangesquot; and quot;500 Casinosquot; are demos of the GT-6~! Check it out sometime.

the gt6 rule !!! but some people say the big daddy right now its the gt8, i sold my gt6 now and i`m expecting my gt8.
tweaking is truly required if you want something great or better ....
cheers

There are some really unbelievable recordings of the GT-8 on the BossGTcentral.com site, in the GT-8 forum.
