Good one Chris! Why does the body on the V look like a steinberger? Must be the angle. Now I can see all your notes I'm stealing them! Love the tone - is that an amp or *gasp* a processor??!!

thx ido... in my credits that last for 10 minutes in the beginning, I list a J-station, which I really like. Don't use amps much anymore except for jamming and stuff like that. I'm getting sounds I like better but I still have the barn full of amps too.
I use a Boss GT-8 live about 3 times a week, and I wish I had that 30 years ago.
probably time to put on the asbestos suit for using a "modeler" now, I suppose.

I've never tried the GT-10, but the Boss forums seem to have many that still prefer the GT-8.
Basically, I've got most of the "popular modelers", but the J-station has a couple of settings, that with some minor adjustments, do it for me. Never really liked the Line6 stuff, except the "black face" sounds are nice, but I never have a need for clean Fender sounds. Not too wild on any Digitech stuff either.
The GT-8 is by far the most flexible and if you're just going for a good sound, and could give a hoot about emulating a Hi-Watt, you can dial in some amazing stuff, to the point it is almost too deep in what you can do.
I layer my GT-8 with a Roland GR-33 synth, and if you blend in a sawtooth type sound, it can get amazingly fat. Strings and pads sound decent too.
Playing sax on the guitar is kinda goofy to me, but they sound pretty acceptable...
...boy...that got off tangent

Sounds really good! Maybe the guitar could come up a tad?
I use Amplitube for all recorded guitar, but I go more for clean twangy sounds.. I like recording the guitar direct, then I can change the guitar sounds right up to the mixdown..

Interesting..too bad because the GT-10 is black and I prefer that to gold lol... I only use about 8 patches truthfully and they're all custom. Seems a waste to have 164 patches when you never use them. I paid a fortune for it too. The board was 1000 and the pedal board was 450!?!?! But it's lasted for 20 odd years....

We're talking about something different, I think. The current GT-10 is silver and my GT-8, which I got new about 3-4 years ago is black. I paid $450 or so...same what the GT-10 now goes for.
Oh...you're talking Canadian $$ ??
When playing live, I only use about 4 patches actually, and all custom. Basically they go from clean to dirt, progressively. I've messed around with others, and even the ones that change the sound with the dynamic picking, but only really need a few. I don't do a lot of effects like flanging, etc, but the unit would be great for a cover band that needs a lot of different sounds...which I did years ago...switching from Allman Bros, to Led Zep to whatever..
I use the wah an amount though and love the volume pedal, as the limits are programable. But you might know all this anyway.

thanks for the comment. I never record "dry" and mess later with the sound, except delay or modulation effects maybe as the basic sound determines too much how I play.
I agree on the gtr volume, but that requires too much effort in making the video and loading up to YouTube again. In the beginning, you can see on my "whole notes", I'm reaching up with my picking hand and bumping up the fadar, which I probably really should have caught after the fact anyway.
