That is interesting. This has been the main reason I have ended up getting sick of multi-fx units. I am always tweaking my settings and with multi-fx this means constantly changing every single patch you have made. Nice.
Why the shock on the price? I assumed the next GT pedal would be aiming at Helix / Headrush / AX8 territory.
The external PSU doesn't bother me in the slightest...all the GT-s before it had 'em and out of the GT5/6/8/10/100 it was NEVER a problem as in EVER.
But as most who own an Helix on here despite having a long history with the floor GT's (had 'em all bar the 3) it'd have to be a Helix killer for me to shell out that kind of money all over again. Now, I guess most that will buy this don't have a unit of this type. For me i'll look out with interest at many od the demo's and reviews when it comes out.
Go Boss!
Fractal Global blocks feature will do this too IIRC, though I don’t use it myself. I will have to have a look at it though

...you're right. It should be £40. Or maybe £60, coz it's new.
I wonder if they’ll add it in later firmwares, especially since this has it.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
The price is £879 from Andertons....& that seems expensive! Boss has always been a little behind the curve on its amp modelling so this has got to be really stellar if it's going to be successful at this price point. It's well known name and reputation for solid build and great effects is a help of course, but there are still those put off by its previous 'COSM' technology. For those that just want effects, the AxF8 is a good candidate - but for Helix, Headrush, and GT1000 I suspect the amp modelling quality, ease of use, and IR capability are going to be key considerations. Boss are late to the party and personally I think they may have missed the boat with Line 6 Helix & LT so well bedded down.

There's growing competition now on these 'flagship' MFX units - Helix, Helix LT, Headrush etc - so it's going to be interesting to see them slug it out and what price 'adjustments' might follow.
One other observation - when I used the GT100 I really liked its dual display, which made it stand out a bit from the pack and was very functional. The single screen is bigger, but I wonder if they've possibly missed a trick by not continuing its dual screen approach?
Manufacturer demos are meant to be rubbish. It's a tradition or an old charter or something.
Shame about the footswitches though. They seem to think everyone wants pseudo-3PDTs now.

Maybe I’m missing something but I think it’s going to be hard to persuade potential buyers to get this over the helix lt
