Re: Show us your pedalboard
More importantly, how's the G3? Any tonal improvement compared to the Boss?

Could do with some Behringer or Mooer pedals I reckon!

The H90 is excellent. Very powerful with great effects. I use it 4 cable method so you can run algorithms either pre-amp or in the FX loop. Sound quality is fantastic - noticeably better than the previous H9 and leaves anything ever made by Line 6 in the dust.

You won't like to hear this, but the G3 confirmed very clearly what I had suspected about the Boss switcher units - they suck! Tone, that is. Badly. And the Boss buffers are crap. The Gigrig sounds pristine, just so much better.

Interesting. I use very short cables so maybe I don't notice it much. The tone suck with my 335 is barely audible.
Need to get one of them Gigrig things one day though...

Re: Show us your pedalboard
Just the Boss unit itself with no loops engaged sucks tone. I compared my ES8 extensively to the G3.robthemac wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2023 2:25 pmInteresting. I use very short cables so maybe I don't notice it much. The tone suck with my 335 is barely audible.

Re: Show us your pedalboard
Is it tone suck, or an aggressive buffer in the Gigrig? Which sounds closer to direct guitar-amp tone?Conway wrote: ↑Thu Aug 31, 2023 2:28 pmJust the Boss unit itself with no loops engaged sucks tone. I compared my ES8 extensively to the G3.

Gigrig. (You can use the buffer as a boost by raising the output volume but the buffer doesn't change the EQ/tone).

Re: Show us your pedalboard
We could put the Boss ES-5 in one of the loops of your Gigrig and see if the tone changes when it is engaged...
