Well, after watching these, it's cooler than I thought initially. It's not what I need, and I don't see it being great for live use, but if I had a 13 year old son who was just starting to play, it would be a good Christmas present (along with a set of headphones). Seriously though, for $200 it's seems like a steal. I bet Guitar Center will sell a bunch of them.

Agreed. And in contrast to what was presented yesterday on 909 day you can actually hear what it sounds like. No 64 notes drenching the sound.
To V or not to V: That is the question.

This right here.  Plenty of functionality in a small, lightweight package.  It looks like it will travel fairly easily. Probably not going to record with it, or really do any heavy gigging.  But for noodling around the house or in the garage, it looks like a good deal.   They're going to sell by the truckload at that price point.

Its a bummer that bulk of these GT-1 Video demos are shot with just a smartphone in the room, and not an isolated direct output feed from the processor under review

My complaint - I always hear the initial attack of the raw unamplified guitar strings in most of these demos, and that spoils all opportunity to analyze the tone of the processor under review.

Also in video below I only hear a volume difference when comparing GT-100 to GT-1  - not hearing any significant improvement of the GT-1 tones compared to GT-100 tones

Nice sounds that Alex is getting out of that

Man, that guy is pretty awesome. The Gt-1 sounds excellent to me.

This video shows good, but not excellent sound quality. You get what you paid for...

I've heard far worse.  For $200 price point it would be hard to find something better than that.

Yes, I agree.

Speaking on terms of strictly audio quality, I would not trust much of some online demos, sometimes the codec audio scheme used in video kills subtle elements by excessive compression of data, narrow frequency/bit depth, subtracting sound dimensionality and tone impact. I've heard demos of Fractal FX and other high quality devices made by users who do not care so much the quality audio output format, sounding like much lower rank gear. This IHMO seems to be the case. Well, maybe my ears could be touchy after this 3rd wine cup ;D

Fear just pulls you out of being true to music, which is coming from a place of love. Love is the opposite of fear. I stay away from anything fear-related.

If the engine is the same as GT-001 (except the splitter and number of FX) sound should be in the same league.
Do you think they trimmed down quality?

No. but all other videos of GT1 sound very muddy and distracting to me.
Judging by them, I will never even think about buying a GT1.
How about demoing some decent tube-break-up?
I think there is no digital device that can make it for 200 usd or cheaper.
The cheapest seems to be Amplifire, for 600 bucks. it really sounds like tube amps.
The new Zoom G3 and G5n also sound static and cold to me. Thea are cheap too.
Any other recommendations?
