Boss GT-8 for $250?
I've got an opportunity to pick up a used Boss GT-8 for $250. I've been having fun with cheaper multi-FX and single pedals but I'm thinking this is an opportunity to pick up a quality unit and be done with juggling the lower priced stuff. One big attraction is being able to switch on and off each type of effect individually instead of only being able to switch between banks of preset tones.
Ginny and I were at Disneys Pleasure Island last friday and I noticed the guitar player in one one song was going between a clean tone and an almost metal distortion without seeming to touch his pedal. It looked like multifx from what I could see from the dance floor. When watching a video demoing the GT-8 it had some dynamic effect setting that allowed the guy demoing to do the same thing. Soft strums can out clean and hard ones came out overdriven.
The question is... anyone got any comments? It seemed like the right price.
