Nowt exciting though, predictably..



Click pics for Boss' spiel..

Yawnnn... just re-badged old Boss pedals.... well done Boss

Although the Fuzz pedal is a sort of digital modelling unit, by the looks of it- different modes, Boss' COSM steez..

hahah Dyna Drive?

I guess they haven't learned the "Stupid pedal name" lesson from the days of the Power Driver, Xtortion and Mega Distortion.

depressing.

I still think the fuzz looks kinda neat.. sorta SD Tweak Fuzz/Digitech DF-7 stylee. May well sound like arse, though..

Slightly more interesting, stolen from Tweez over at JS:

Presumably aimed at DI recording.. I can't see why you'd want to put an amp sim in line with your own real amplifier..

Because your amp is a completely different type?

I am very interested in both those pedals. WEEE

I'm looking forward to the CORE CORE pedal.

Yeah but.. your own amp would totally colour the effect, making a simulation kinda pointless..

It will have an effect, but I'm guessing the knobs on the pedal are to help you shape the sound so that it is reminiscent.

I'm into it anyway. Bassman pedal for light grit? YES PLEASE

digital fuzz. a clear winner in my book

I don't know, I respect the effort that does into creating the neccesary equations and algorithms to do all this DPS. But at the same time it does make me feel rather empty.

Don't be a fucking snob.

If you don't know how it sounds then don't comment. I personally don't think you could tell an analogue fuzz from a digital through a nice amp. You know all them CDs you love? Digital. Your myspace songs? Digital.

Don't be a muppet.

The one place where digital could work is in fuzz pedals actually. They are just basically turning the signal into some sort of square/clipped wave.

I don't like the dirt sounds on the gt-6/8....all thats COSM right? and you're right it could be good...I hope it is, because the layout looks really cool and I'm a big fan of boss fuzz tones....but I haven't played digital dirt of any kind that I've liked yet.

and I think people could tell the difference between a real big muff and a COSM big muff through a clean amp..... it might not be as noticeable through a cranked marshall though

shit stirrer.

I think most of the anti-digital sentiment is complete and utter bullshit.

Some of it is true. Digital when it's done properly is good. Delays and reverbs for example. I just think a lot of digital stuff out there is hampered due to it being low cost gear with bad components.

I love using Guitar Rig, you can get some pretty authentic sounds out of it, but that is purely software and I'm using an EMI interface to get the sound in then using HD25s to monitor with.

Guitar Rig2 is amazing.

You can get some pretty crazy sounds from it. I like some of the ambient noise presets and the crazy kick drum one.
