has anyone used this and have an opinion on it? how does it sound with mesa? are the effects very similar to boss pedals? I am considering getting one, it is a bit pricey though

First off, you can't settle for the default settings as they are way over the top. Second, you have to understand the concept of unity gain as there are several gain stages to consider and if they are not set correctly it can get out of hand fast. Third, I use the four wire system (8 wire in my case!) and this is a must to get an absolute clean response through the system.
The default settings are not setup for a 4 wire system. It puts the loop out in the wrong place (in front of the OD and pre-amp and Noise suppression). This WILL cause a noise and tone sucking effect. If you put The loop out AFTER the Noise Suppresion, OD, and Pre-amp and have all the time domain effects after the loop you will get some incredibly righteous tones. I've got full stereo reverb, chorus, delay, etc....
paleamberglow said:1. Is there any limitation to the delay time you can use if you are using delay along with another effect? Or is the useable delay time the same no matter how many effects you have going at the same time?
paleamberglow said:2. Is there a 'spillover' feature for the delay when changing patches with the GT Pro? For instance, when you are playing a patch with delay, and you change patches, does the delayed sound from the first patch keep playing and fade out after you have changed patches, or does it just cut off completely? Do you know of any other effects processors that have this feature?
paleamberglow said:3. Is it possible to completely bypass/turn off the amp modeling on the GT Pro and use it ONLY as an effects processor? I'm asking because I primarily want to use my Mesa Mark IV for all of my amp sounds, and use the GT pro as a dedicated fx processor.
Scorch said:I hate to think that you're passing up the modeling preamp. There's just so much vesatility there. The Twin, the Fender Pro, the Vox AC-30, vintage Marshall, and Matchless models, just to name a few, are sounds you just can't get out of a Boogie preamp, as good as it is.
