Boss GT-10B Multi-Effects Pedal  

This is the only device for bass that will let you use almost any combination of effects across 2 separate effects chains and an expression pedal.  Most devices will limit modulation effects to one instance in any program.  The GT10-B will let you use a modulation effect in each effects chain and still let you use pitch bend on the expression pedal.  This is great on effects where you might want to included a flanger or phase shifter, but still want to use the expression pedal as a whammy.  I have never found this capability in any other processor.

The other feature that is really well thought out is the programming interface.  There is a quick easier interface for each program that utilizes four knobs under the LED screen.  If you want to drill into more parameters you can push a button to change the display mode to show all the details.

The GT10-B seems to be made pretty solidly.  Definitely no complaints so far.

It is definitely a bit pricey, but in general worth it.

The Boss GT10-B is a really good high end multi-effect processor for bass.  It is packed with features and extremely versatile for Rock, Funk or Jazz.

So by now you know this board is rich with great pedal effects and amp modeling. You can read the other reviews to get an idea what it does, but I thought I'd share my uses for it. To keep this very short, here is what I currently use the GT-10b for: my main patch for most of the songs using its eq, ampeg amp model and compression (very important), silent tuning (even more important on stage!) a distortion effect on some songs, a wah effect I can't even put into words on a breakdown of ours, the Space Funk patch (Chorus and Delay) on a mid-set song used in conjunction with the awesome phrase looper for a trippy rolling thunder type experience for the audience, Drifting Drive patch (ramp effect) that catches people off-guard during a long drum fill, and most importantly I control all the intros, bass drops and sound bytes in our set by hooking up my laptop via USB - a very simple process!  Take that sound guys -  always butchering our intros with the cds we gave you!  Also, if your rig fails you during a show you can always run straight out of the GT-10b!

Road Rugged, but since I haven't found a big enough case or decided to spend $50 on the case you can by for it  I have allowed some cosmetic scratches to manifest on my baby!  No one to blame but myself! Though, through no fault of my own, hooligans down in the mosh pit have immersed my board with their beer, and it still works.  To my ears all the effects and models sound great, the board looks sexy with its metallic magenta coloring and blue light, and all the pedals and knobs work flawlessly.  As far as learning how to use the beast...look, like every tech device on earth nowadays the GT-10b is menu driven.  Just search around, hit enter or turn the wheel, go into sub menus, etc.  Yes, I'm oversimplifying it but in the end that's all you are doing, you just need to familiarize yourself with the menus...and know English...you can't really screw anything up! The only complaint I have is a split second delay when changing patches...understandable with all the circuitry involved.  I'll just have to change a split second before I need the patch to kick in!

I bought mine for $350 because it was a floor model, but if I had to I would have spent $500 for a new one.  I would replace this in a heartbeat if it was ever stolen or unrepairable.

It's the last board I will ever need or want to buy!  Getcha one!

This is a wonderful product from boss. In my electric guitar rig I've always been a digitech man and the rp1000 is a great unit, but in my search for a multi-effects unit for my bass rig the GT-10B definitley caught my attention. Lets be honest it looks impressive and like it has alot to offer. In this case looks are not deciving. The customaztion options are virtually limitless for this unit, and did I mention that this thing sound AMAZING! I can just plug this thing into the PA at my chuch and go to town. The only reason that I did not give a perfect score is that I would have liked more than 2 assignable footswitches out of the box. I like to be able to control everything I need with my feet. No one likes to bend over on stage, but other than that I say if you are thinking about a multi-effects unit for your bass, STOP THINKING and BUY THIS UNIT! You will not be sorry.
