When I read about how super impressive and amazing sounding the blues cube is it shows that they have the skills and tech to do modelling well.
Use that tech for a floor unit! Get rid of COSM. Build a load more amp models other than just the baseman using Roland's Tube Logic and stick them into a new flagship multi fx. It could be great.

I quite fancy a few pedal sound I haven't got as standalones, so for the rpice of a few pedals this could be what I want.
I actually like the more minimal approach. I have no problem at all having the basic functions a press of a button away, and going into sub menus and the complex interface or linking to a desktop when I'm setting things up.
If it sounds good to me, it'll be good enough for me. If not look elsewhere.
this "same engine" thing Boss claim does make me wonder - I had a Boss BR1600CD recorder that supposedly had the same sound engine of the then Boss GT-6 which I also had at the same time. Now as an experiment I was trying to match the sounds....each effect/amp model I programmed in every single parameter the same and the resulting sounds were VERY different. This makes me wonder why...shouldn't they be exactly the same ? Well all I know is they definitely wasn't...not even close.
Exactly - the COSM label is just that its Boss's own buzzword for their modelling. The successive generations of the Boss GT's have been different...COSM is the one a lot of Line 6 fanboys (and others) like to slam...but take a look at for example the GT-100 vids A/B'd against the Pod HD500x on youtube and you will see its not much of a difference. I still think Line 6 win but its not like a night and day thing...its actually pretty close IMO. So this hate for COSM to my mind is way OTT and unjustified. Its 'internet wisdom' that people read and just swallow...often based on just what they read some 13yr write on a forum.
I think it looks great, it's £165 and doesn't sound at all bad in this video

Who knows, it might sound OK.
It's competing with this:

Surely you start from looking at what your competitors are doing?
Knobs, buttons and screens.
The Boss just looks a massive faff to use in comparison.
The Zoom was a faff when you wanted to edit one of the three FX that weren't visible, too.
I may be alone here, but I never got on with my G3. It was fiddly to use, the footswitches were irritating and it just never sounded inspiring.
I preferred the B3, but I didn't keep either of them in the end.

Following that train of thought, don't we just end up with clones of clones of clones?
Surely the idea is to come up with something a bit different?
