" You can play with normal stereo sound through headphones or switch in a cool surround effect for an immersive and inspiring sonic experience."

Interesting...

Awesome!! This is the small amp/cab box that I was hoping Line 6 would put out.

It makes sense that a digital device has a screen. Strymon Iridium is a fantastic device, but without a screen makes it not so user friendly.

That’s not going to help my hands-on pedalboard GAS.

It’s a good idea - a digital pedal platform. Very tempting…

 

[Emigre]

Wait -

“Versatile USB audio interface for recording and playback with music software on Mac and Windows computers and iOS devices”

That is earth shattering! Have Boss finally figured out a class compliant USB audio interface?!?

amps:

• NATURAL An unembellished, clean sound that minimizes the amp’s idiosyncrasies, such as its trebly character and boomy low end.
• JC-120 This models the sound of the Roland JC-120.
• TWIN COMBO This models a Fender Twin Reverb.
• DIAMOND AMP This models a VOX AC30.
• TWEED COMBO This models a Fender Bassman 4 x 10” Combo.
• X-HI GAIN A model that uses BOSS’s unique MDP (Multi-Dimensional Processing) technology for a high-gain sound with a wide-ranged, comfortable sense of separation.
• BRITISH STACK This models a Marshall 1959.
• BGR UB METAL This models the sound that models the high-gain channel of a Bogner Uberschall.

bass amps:
natural, x-drive bass, concert (models the Ampeg SVT)

So it doesnt have a 200w Power Amp built in (?)

That was the first thing i thought of when i saw the " 200 " in the name.

Nah it's just part of their 200 series of pedals.

Seems like GT-1000 modeling and cab sim crammed into the 200 series enclosure.

No tuner?

Cost?

Cost?

381€ at Thomann, so same price bracket as Iridium and Walrus

this might not be news to those familiar with GT-1000, but I like the fact that you can set all amps to any gain you want (e.g. make a Tweed a hi-gain amp)

I’ve just released a vid on it if anyone’s interested.

Excellent! Another bit of kit that Boss has probably already abandoned!

And Micro-USB B in this day and age? Why do manufacturers keep doing this to us?

how many firmware updates were there for Strymon Iridium?

Interesting! Hope it takes pedals well then it´s a great competitor to iridium and walrus acs1.

It sounds like they stepped up when it comes to modeling. It sounds really good. Not like the actual amps though but that always seems to be the case with Boss amp modeling.

 

[JCW308]

Looks great, I would give t a try if I were building a small pedalboard.

Very interesting!
