Review

The COSM technology The GT-3 is equipped with a preamp section, powered with the COSM technology, that emulates various Vintage and modern amps, mic placements, speakers and cabinets. Effects and patches 32 effects and 340 patches, 140 for the user and 200 preset patches. The GT-3 can provide up to 12 analog distortions and Overdrives and many other effects, like reverbs, two-voice harmony, an acoustic guitar simulator and some synth sounds. Distortions are obtained by combining the digital preamplifier and the analog section of the GT-3. The EZ Edit function allows a quick and easy editing of the effects. Patches can be completely controlled in real-time via the expression pedal, that can be programmed as you need. If you want to edit patches manually, the GT-3 provides some preset settings that make patches editing fast and easy. Obviously, the GT-3 can be programmed in each parameter of the effects. The front panel of this floorboard features a dedicated button for each effect. You can easily turn ON and OFF effects. Innovative functions The GT-3 features some innovative and modern functions, like the Auto Riff function, that completes a musical riff from a single note, and the pickup simulator. The Send & Return The rear panel of the GT-3 features a Send & Return connection, so you can use your favourite effects together with the GT-3. This feature makes the GT-3 rather flexible. Sound and general opinion Boss floorboards are good products and the GT-3 doesn't disappoint. Boss discontinued the GT-3, so you can buy it, used, at a good price, approximately 120 Euros. The GT-3 can be a very good solution for the beginner that wants to experiment with a complete system for the effects. At this price the GT-3 can be a good choice.
