Anyone else notice this? The demo sounds the guy can get at the website are quite impressive. It looks like it retails for more than the GT-6, maybe those will drop in price.

That's really cool how the synth tracks without adding pitch-changes and little white noise kind of things. I also like the dynamic picking/amp switching and the amp blending stuff too...

Yay BOSS, you bunch a' genuises!

Yeah, I was thinking of getting a POD xt Live, but Now I am seriously thinking about the GT-8. The metallic black makes it look really "bad"....

Does anyone know when this is actually going to hit stores?

WOW- that's a lot of flexibility built into one unit. I too wonder how much it will cost- opposed to the podxt.

I, for one, am glad to see that Roland continues to try and outdo itself.

That FX responding to dynamics feature sounds so cool!

I usually can't stand multi-effects units, but I have to admit that the touch response amp switching is SWEET!

I know. I was kind of sad too. I think I'm going to try and see if I can get any kind of trade in on mine.

This is a variation of an effect you can do with the VG 88 ... very cool, if you need to do smooth channel switching.
