1. I have had a GT8 myself for years now, first and only board I've bought, it's simply amazing for the price. Can basically do any U2 sound. I'm mostly proud of my Lemon preset, sounds very close to Edge's.
  2. I made the leap and bought an Axe Fx just before Christmas, best decision i've ever made, this thing is brilliant!
  3. So I think I'm going to get myself the GT8. Been looking Into it and it looks great. So my question is? Is it really hard to get into it and the effects set right? Some one says to me you can actually buy the U2 settings and download them onto it. I don't know anything about that tho

    Steven Drozd of The Flaming Lips uses that Boss effects pedal. It must be good. Apparently durable.

    It takes some time to figure it out, but it's not too hard to use. To make it more easy, you can connect the Boss to the PC. This allows you to download patches from the internet, this gave me a headstart for the U2 sounds on my Boss since there are some patches available online. Otherwise you can contact me . Sergio talked about Edo and the Axe fx2, it is a unit that I dream of but since it is about 1500 euros I'll have to stick with my cheaper Boss (bought it second hand 150 euros). Perhaps Edo wants to give you some tips on the sound, I'll be very interested as well if he and you want to share this. Good luck with your choice, and for questions about the Boss gt-8 you can always ask for more info here.

    Cheers man. Appreciate it. I contacted Edo last night but he says he only deals with the Axe. Yes any tip you could give me will be greatly appreciated.
