At that price though it’s going to have to take another step up from Katana level tone and that would be a shocker for me given that the life cycle of these algorithms is usually closer to a decade than a year.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
tone and capability are far more important in my opinion
I'd like to try one out to see if it has the ability to do what I need to do control wise
and to see if it sounds any good
it's rock solid kit.. toured it extensively without a single issue..
the MIDI implementation and control side of things are very good.. everything just works as you'd expect it to..
the editors are very good / intuitive
the down side was tone.. the tone [COSM in the VG-99] was ok.. not bad sounding.. I'd have never took on stage if it was bad..
it was just ok / good enough...
my 2120 and Axe-FX are a cut above tone wise
and for all round capability, I've yet to find a unit that can match the Axe-FX
I would love to find a unit that can deliver the tone and capabilities of the Axe-FX in a light weight floor unit
not found one yet though
but if the GT1000 can do all that I'll be a happy bunny
Too much speculation at this stage.
Agreed we have no idea on build quality yet. Won’t be long until we find out though.
light and small means lower fees from the airlines
I think it's safe to assume it'll be solidly built. Roland/Boss stuff has a reputation there that most manufacturers would envy.
Yep. Without those things I don't think it would be accurate to say that they've duplicated the xx-500 stuff they say they have- the assign functions on the DD-500 are a *big* part of what it does. They've also been a staple of the GT-series processors for ages, so it would seem a silly thing to drop.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.

It's just so far removed from the sort of tone you hear and go "wow". I'd go so far as to say it sounds shit.
It will all really hang on sound quality...is this new AIRD modelling a significant step up from their previous COSM....or is AIRD just a new buzz word. Them saying the xx 500 series sounds are in there sounds rather promising. Wowa wowa wee!
