gt8 was good in term of versatility. U can get so many drive sound from it , from low gain to high gain. Also u can experiment so many things with it , such as real time phaser , flanger , tremolo controlling. Also u can alter the effects chain. Got wahs , reverbs and also : effects loop (i like it)
easy to say : all-in-one .
But , in term of sticking to one style of playing : miserable. I always fiddle the knobs.. never satisfy the tone i need. Maybe its because my crap amp or my crappy guitar of my playing is crap .. dunno ...
Boss has made gt8 very very good .. i admit it. But i'm feel better with stompboxes.
Please dont judge the gt8 by my opinion. Because "sound" is a subjective matter. Some people like it because it suits them.
Now i'm going back to my old style , the stompbox. And i feel "i can control it". But in term of price .. pheww ... i think i've spent over rm3k for it.
anyway , goodluck in your search. Pls refer to www.lelong.com.my, i saw someboy selling it for rm1250. just type "gt8" |

if you got plenty of time to play around with GT8, then you should get one for yourself... in fact, if you have any problem, questions, etc, mr ultraman_cosmo is here to guide you.. hehe.. he's the GT8 doctor of i-bands!

Me too, back to stompboxes! I've had the line6 Ax2, PODxt stuff, nowgot rid of it all and.....
I bought the ME-50 some months ago, and it's perfect to use in front of an amp. Err, i really don't want to make anybody cry but......I bought a Marshall TSL100, and use a MesaBoogie V-Twin preamp "stompbox" in front of the amp, and since both of these are pure valves stuff.....(you can guess what the sound is like).
I kept the ME50 for when I go jam outside, or when I'm experimenting with songwriting to feed a simple guitar-ME50-soundcard signal.
Then one day I just fooled around plugging the ME-50 into the MesaBoogie-into-MarshallTSL . Sounded too fake. Lousy.
Then just before switching off I tried the ME50 into the Marshall direct, and set the Marshall for a slight-overdrive, rich sound (Middle/Treble/Bass all almost full)......the result was nothing short of ASTOUNDING!. The ME50 came out with a whole ton of beautiful sounds, no need to adjust anything just keep all effects in neutral mid-position and keep changing thru all the different overdrives, modulations, etc and every combination was just lovely...I think the BOSS fellows test their stompboxes using Marshalls too, at similar settings.
Overall, OK without the ME50, the sound from the pure-valves chain is very rich, with the ME50 there is a slight "processed" sound...but the ME50 allows a huge extra range of very useable tones and I think it's perfect for playing in a band. Just ME50 into amp (preferable Marshall) . It beats the Line6 PODxt and the other "modeller"s anytime.
Price? I think I paid RM1050/-

Yes, that's the one! 
It was really expensive, costs more that many guitar amps! But it has lasted many years and the sound is superb. Still in perfect condition and now a collector's item.

currently i use the marshall's amp drive. no OD & dist. Because i sold my gt8 and bought a big amp. But i wishhhhhhhh a seymour duncan twin tube. Got 2 channels. my financial broke currently
To Raggy : u make everybody cry . uwaaaa :O. Not only the TSL , but the mesa also
and to space bar : me50 i think its a good start. i dont know if u are a starter , but if u new to gadjets , any multieffect such as Zoom , Korg , Me50 would be Ok for studying sound. After that if u planning to achieve a satisfying sound or analog that has a warm tone , then u should prepare a big budget.
ME50 is quite good because it acts like a stompbox. in term of sound i dont know .. never tried it. But as Raggy mentioned : combined with a Marshall is good.
I also heard somebody said , start with a good tube amp. Then any effect would be nice with it. |

Currently i newly use the "used" marshall g50rcd. 50watts. Same like the well known "kene kutuk" MG series. It seems the distortion channel i can set to level 2. Its very loud. But the gain is not very high. But if i compare with digital effects , i like the distortion of the amp. seems brighter.
anyway , i dont play riffs "jeng jeng jeng" ... i play "tiung tiung tiung". Thats why i'm very particular about each note i play.
Before this i use the Tech21 Comptortion. Its a distortion + compressor. So its sustains well.
So i use the Marshall's drive sound as a primary drive. In future i will add a ge7 to boost the drive. To me its quite good to have a "effects loop" in the amplifier it self.
For my future distortion, i think i want to buy a tonebone classic or seymour duncan twintube. Later is modulations and others. Hopefully i can get this b4 get married
