Anyone get a chance to try out the GT-10 at NAMM? I've always felt Boss lagged well behind Line6 in the amp sim department. Then again, Boss actually put their new product in a solid, reliable enclosure, while Line6 went the Zoom-inspired plastic "toy" route for the X3 Live, then skipped beta testing for good measure. So I guess the new Boss is worth a listen at least.
Honestly, I really don't go for all-in-one units, but I was tempted when the X3 Live first came out, only to find the mic pre was horrible, the construction suspect, and the bug list extensive. Yes, they released a firmware upgrade to fix some bugs (as well as to deal with repeated shorting in some units that was causing patch changes - the firmware just tells the unit to ignore it - great, regular shorting forever!), but others remain. My desire to avoid a full-blown lemon tells me that Line6 is off the menu completely, and since I have been browsing Boss pedals a lot lately, the GT-10, which normally wouldn't hit my radar, caught some idle curiosity.
So, any likers? Is the amp sim better than the GT-8?
