I'm a big fan of the GT100 apart from its massive footprint, so this new unit could be awesome for me! I don't need amp modelling, just a few effects for writing, relay switching for my amp and its a bonus that i could have a real SD-1w in a loop too!
Boss are knocking it out of the park again, fair play!

You wont find any Strymon levels of wowness, but you will find a lot of usable sounds, and in a unit this small... coupled with a few choice pedals, you could make a seriously good board.
My only worry is the 4 footswitch limitation. Not sure I could live with that.
Only issue being is you can't re-order the loops.

I think it's unlikely Boss are using the really crap unreliable 3PDT switches which I really hate - I'm almost certain these are actually SPST momentary switches underneath.
It's just a shame they've felt the need to follow the fashion for this sort of switch, which is based on the modern trend for true bypass on standard pedals. Boss fixed the problems with that forty years ago...
The large plastic switches they've used on multi-FX up til now are almost totally reliable and feel much better in use.

Ive just got a DD2 which is an amazing sounding delay, especially considering its age.
Will the sounds on this unit sound as good as the individual Boss pedals ?
Either way, it looks like a stunning device, and this option (a la Helix) of combining 'real' pedals with modelled, via a virtual board AND midi potential - wow, exciting times !
Great value at that price, imho.
