Just recently picked up a monster of a pedal board. Its a Boss GT 6. From the 87 page manual...I have a lot to lean before it goes live.

The Distortion and acoustic patches are amazing!

Reason I got it was at some point eliminate the amp all together (For Long trips out of state) Just go Pedal board/In Ear Monitors/Guitar....kinda thing

I was wondering if any artists out there had there grasp on a mandolin sound for this Processor...or have tried on similar.

Im still in the works to set it up so any information would rock. My other guitarist in our band uses a GT-10 and we will be putting our heads together here after the holidays to make this rig road-worthy.

Thanks.

KeithReynolds on here used to or maybe still uses the GT 6 if I remember right-he may be able to help you out. He's on FB too.

You can get some really nice textures out of the Boss acoustic sim. For a mandolin I'd go with one of the thinner sounding sim voicings (not the jumbo), slap a capo as high on the neck as your intonation will tolerate, and use a little right hand muting so it's all attack, no sustain.

And, perhaps, a touch of Chorus to simulate the two strings.

I agree that the Boss has a very nice acoustic simulator. I'm surprised that other processor companies haven't tried to replicate it. Maybe Boss stumbled upon some secret to emulating acoustic guitar that everybody else has failed to discover.

Im pretty impressed with the distortion side of the processor as well, It does a good job emulating tube driven amps...its going to be a great addition to the stage once I get a grasp of it...

The Quest continues!!! (insert symphonic suspense music) Shocked
