This is a very intuitive device,probobly 'cause I had a GT-5 and Gt-3.But most people will figure it out after a little tweaking.I always tell people to tweak the hell out of it until you get it,you're not gonna break it...plus it has a factory reset anyway!I give it a 9.
Sound Quality: 9
Honsetly this is the best I've ever heard.A few years ago I paid about 900 bucks for a Digitech 2101 then happen to try out a GT-3 and was BLOWN AWAY!!I imediately traded my 900 dollar unit for GT-3 at 399.Anyway the GT-6 is alot nicer sounding the possibilities are endless.Don't go by the factory presets to judge sound quality,this unit really shines when you start tweakin'.I give it a 9.5
Reliability: 9

There is one draw back about this unit.The GT-3 and GT-5 had something called a wave pedal and an internal pedal,which allowed you to control parameters such as volume,wah,etc. with an oscilator instead of using a foot pedal so the effect would change automatically.I still think this kicks butt.!!!

the programming and recalling of patches is intuitive, and anyone who has used the gt3 or gt5 will appreciate the simplifications on this model. tyhe main effects (preamp, dist, chorus) are dialed in by knobs, making quick adjustments to presets or writing new patches simple. the more complex parameters are still accessed through the dial and buttons. the menus for adjusting parameters are easy to navigate. if you love to sit and fine tune your tone, this is for you. but if you just want to hit it and go, youre better off with stomp boxes.
Sound Quality: 8
the effects are great, as boss's often are, and the cosm amp modeling is pretty good at getting he tones you want. i wouldnt use cosm for recording, personally, but live this is much handier than having 30 diff amps cluttering up the stage, and you'll get the desired effect. having several diff cosm wah models is handy, too. this is a new feature to the gt series.
Reliability: 8
i only just got this thing, so i dont know how it stands up underfire yet, but boss is good at making reliable equipment. ive had boss multii effects before, and they have yet to crap out on me or crash. plus the steel chassis makes it good for heavy stomps under your combat boots. but i'll rate this as an 8, because i trust th company to deliver, but it remains to be seen what this little guy will do.

ive never dealt with boss personally, but thats a good point, as ive never had a need.

i play mostly metal, pantera and the like. but thismachinedes pomise versatility. overall,id say any fault in my sound is more due to my low budget rig than anything else. i currently own and play a bc rich nj series warlock, through a randall rg100sc amp with a peavey 1x18" ext cabinet. i use a crybaby 535q wah. i record and mix onto a boss br-8 digital 8 track. sounds good, works good, easy to use. this seems like a good investment.
