    Was worried that this one was going to be too cheesy, but based on this demo it seems like it's just the right amount of cheese. Really impressed with how well it seems to handle tapping and slides

    • @Fromagreatheight
      @Fromagreatheight Před rokem +2

      To me, cheesiness is depicted by lack of the sounds being realistic. No one wants one of these if it has a sound library that sounds 10-20 years old.

    Nice to see they ditched the tragedy that is the 13pin Cable from the GK-3. I had 2 fail that Boss wouldn't replace as they were out of warranty - $100 bucks is a lot of money to charge for a low quality cable. Also - I can only speak from the GK-3 and GR55 but I found to get accurate tracking I had to play perfectly clean which was beyond my skill level and interest. Not easy to do these days but I would recommend "Try before you buy" on this especially for the price.
