NAMM Update: The New Boss GT-6 !
(Boss | Posted 2001-07-27)
The latest in the series of GT multi-processors is once again a work of art. Boss has thrown everything in but the kitchen sink on this unit and as you've come to expect from these guys - it's built like a tank and the quality of tone is first rate. Our demo at the Boss booth was pretty sweet. One of the most impressive features was the Wah modeling. The demo guy blasted through some impressive licks and riffs with everything from a Vox wah model to a Crybaby. To our surprise, you could tell the difference right away between the tones.
That's not all this unit has to offer, though. It's COSM modeling engine is capable of just about any effect that you'd need in your arsenal, not to mention excellent modeling characteristics. Check out the official word from Boss below:
