i dont think it colours it too much... i dont want to keep ranting on about my teacher lol but he uses his through some marshall half-stack (a solid-state on though i think) and it sounds killer... i'll ask him whether it affects valve sound much or not on sat. i know he's got a peavey classic 30 or 50 so we could test it through that...

Sam, please see if his is the original Roland adaptor (bet it is). Emailled Roland UK so hope they can tell me if it's ok (darn Hz is diff. in UK too but not much). Voodoo Labs is another poss. but there adaptor is $$$$$$$$.

Tom, check out www.bossgtcentral.com alot of answers and stuff to read there (am reading myself) prolly find tube answer there.

I've got one of the old GT-5's that I've used for at least 8-9 years. It's been gigged all over the place and apart from having to replace the power cable once it's been flawless. I used to use it as my preamp and run it straight into my 9100 stereo valve power amp. But the amp modelling sounds pretty rubbish compared to modern standards so I eventually shelled out for a JMP-1.

You can spend hours tinkering with sounds and not playing anything though. :lol:

Sam, not that I am homophobic or anything but will have to pass on that invite :twisted:

Yeah Muttley, precisely, BUT I reckon if ya spend the time to really learn it, well, could be a wonderful tool for a guitarist. I am smiling BIG and I am just fiddling with it :lol:

Oh, yeah. You can get some freaky-weird sounds out of them. :)

The weird synthy sounds on the beginning of these demo track of my old band was the GT-5: BushPilots - Time to Stand and Stay Away

Damn, that was about 7 years ago now. :o

nick would you ever consider doing that- bringing an item over here for someone (that they reimbursed you for obviously)??? :D :P

p.s muttley that effect at the beginning is class! so is the rest of the song as well lol..!

not so sure about the vocals though :?
bush pilots is a great name btw!

also- just listened to the second song- even better effect at the beginning- vocals are starting to grow on me now...
