It gets really fun when you get to the assign and internal pedal functions- you could set up one of those footswitches to toggle between two values of any parameter on any of the internal effects, or to toggle the wave pedal function, which is an LFO that you can apply to any parameter on any of the internal effects. There are eight "assign" functions onboard, and if it's anything like the DD-500 you can assign them to just about anything you can do in the onboard menus. So if you felt the need you could have it toggle distortion on and off every bar, modulate the speed of a tremolo from slow to fast in quarter notes, pan the delay repeats between left and right outputs while having them change between analogue and digital delays, all at the same time, and have your amp reverb turn on when you pick hard (and still have more assigns left over to do something else).

I'm tempted by the MS 3 though, just wish the 3 loops could be moved independently.. Would make an awesome fly rig, with a mooer/digitech cab for DI out and an amp in a box pedal for gain. I kind of like that it's a different solution to helix et all.
I love my dd2. It's just right for general delay purposes, clear enough for nice, rhythmic work and just soft enough to be behind the notes for more subtle stuff like slap back.
This has the tera echo and RV5 reverbs it seems, which are ace, although perhaps not strymon like for some. Good sounding and perfectly usable though.
I wonder how many of the digital drives it's got? I *loved* the DA-2, DS1-X and OD1-X, if they're on board that's clean boost, middy drives, chunky rhythm, heavy rhythm and searing leads taken care of (without even needing to stack pedals!).
It does need more than 8 assigns though which I find a bit limiting.
Those plastic switches put people off the products I'd say.
How are you using the assigns on the GT-100?

Just had another look at the parameter guide- looks like there's a lot of flexibility as to what you can make the footswitches do- you're not limited to using all four as patch selectors- could have, say, two patches per bank, tap tempo and a toggle for one or more loops/effects within each patch, then an external FS-6/7 for two more control parameters, then an expression pedal in the other CTL input. Sweet.

But.... that screen looks tiny and will be a pita for editing which is why I've never got on with multi's (GT-8 & Nova System). Admittedly I've not tried a Helix which looks like it has the best screen for editing, but I can't afford it anyway.
It's also cheap and small enough that you won't have to think twice about where you take it (unlike the H***x).
A see the USB in there so assume it will be vertically integrated into the Katana type software suite (once they sort those software issues out).
I just did a mock up of the size here and it's tiny at 246mm x 97mm... the four buttons are almost too close together?

I have a patch setup exactly the same except I use the Jet City's clean channel setup with the gain set at one o'clock for JCM800 type sounds so the assigns are set to switch the amps channel.
I also had the GT switching an M5 via midi cc which wasn't that easy until I found out it can only be switched and held on by the FS-6, not the GT's onboard pedals! Even though you can assign the onboard pedals to switch the M5 they won't stay latched on, or won't switch at all! Very frustrating. Once I'd worked out the FS-6 could what the onboard switches won't , it was easy.
I also have the CTL pedal setup for solos in case the FS-6 packs up.
