Just curious for those of you who bit the balsewood and made the $450 car payment, or for that matter have played with it, what do you think? Worth the cash? Good tone? Still use it?
 
Re: Boss GT-8 Ye or NaY?

I've got one, but can only compare it to its predecessors, although I've also briefly tested a Tonelab SE. I've owned a GT-3 and a GT-6, and compared to those, it really is much better and more versatile. People tend to think it's just a GT-6 on steroids, but it has a much more defined and responsive tone, is far more dynamic and just sounds more...well, refined, I guess. If you want a really good review, you should check out this article on thestompbox.net. It digs pretty deep and tells you almost everything there is to know.

Definatley worth the cash. I was actually in the market for a boutique amp, but purchased this for recording purposes. It sounds so good and has so much sounds in it, that I bought a Mesa power amp and use it as my live rig now.

I still want a boutique amp down the line, but for now, the GT-8 is so much fun and sounds so good that the new amp will have to wait a while. :)
