The drum stuff looks awesome though.

its a brave move, but no one else makes a multi like this........anymore.
its a bit like being asked to chose between a 20012 laptop at £900 or a smaller lighter 2016 laptop with the same processor for half the price.
It's also cheaper than this new one, so I can't see I'm in the market for one - but I bet it sounds OK and is as easy for kids to use as a smartphone .
For what it's worth I like the look of the footswitches - better than yet more crappy round metal clicky ones. I specifically don't like the new DD500 because they've felt the need to use those.
CTL1 is Boss's standard description for an onboard assignable control switch. CTL 2 and 3 are optional external ones.
I don't like the look of the jacks though - they've gone back to PCB-mounted plastic ones with no metal chassis nut, which are a bugbear of the old ME-5 and GT-5.

This is the multi fx I've been working on in m'shed. All I have to do now is blue tac an expression pedal to one side, stick on some day glo shizzle and I'll jump in my C5 to speed it over to Roland UK personally.
This time next year Rodders...
You can see from the Waza and Blues Cube stuff, the ES-8 and the DD-500 that they understand the industry to some degree and they have to respond to the Helix or get out of the multi fx game. I don't know when it's going to happen, but I'm sure it's going to happen.
I did like the ME-50 - apart from one huge crushing limitation, in the way the Manual mode works - but it was also physically quite large and this new one isn't, so less knobs are probably a requirement to get it all in the space available.
Even if I buy the GT-5 I'm actually interested in giving the new one a try, it might be ideal for a grab-and-go unit. And I like the glow-in-the-dark footswitches .

I think here in gearhead forum land we assume that the rest of the guitar playing world has its finger on the pulse of all the new developments, when they really don't.
