I'm a beginner learning to play the guitar, with no experience of using conventional pedals or valve amps.
In your opinion which pre-amps and effects does the GT-1 do well and which ones sound like they were just thrown in to make it look good on the spec sheet?
For example the 'clean twin' pre amp and the plate reverb sound good to my untrained ears. Are they actually good? I have no real idea as I'm just a beginner.

Hi there, Mike :)

If you use the amps and speaker cabinets from the GT-1, then I would highly recommend checking out these amps and cabinets:

Clean Twin amp model w. speaker cabinet type set to 2x12 (instead of the ORIGINAL default setting)
Then throw in a little reverb, maybe some chorus, and then you have a nice clean modulated sound.
You can also add in the T-Scream overdrive model, from the OD/DS section.
I use that combination all the time, and it's simply great!

You could also try out the Marshall amp model - I think it sounds good too!

Perhaps the Dlx Crunch amp model too.

When I first got the unit, I went through all the amp models, and sorted out the ones that I liked.
It basically helped me narrow down the amps and cabinets I like the most.

Overall I really like the GT-1 - and I use it direct all the time.
I have no external amplifier with me on stage - all my amp sounds come from the GT-1!

Feel free to ask further question, if you like ;D

Cheers!
