    I've just acquired a GT-5 which a friend is selling. I quite like it but to be honest I just can't be bothered to go through the learning curve of it all again...

    If anyone wants it I would be happy to pass it on. It's in what appears to be full working order as far as I can tell, OK condition - a lot of scratches but no serious damage - and doesn't have either the box or manual (which can be downloaded).

    I had a gt5, sounds were good, not great, but certainly not bad. The layout is where it lost me though, the phrase user friendly obviously hadn't been invented back then.

    Actually, I remember now, I have a couple of DVD Tutorials - one for the GT-8 and another for the GT-10...

    Sorry, I don't need an M5…

    Anything else you want rid of?

    that's pretty much all I have right now, scaled right down while I'm just writing and not performing live!

    I still have the GT-3 as backup for my pedals, or when a mate wants to have a jam. Some of the effects are pure analogue and sound exactly like the BOSS pedals. I read somewhere that some of the effects used the same circuitry as the pedals although Google will be your best friend for this.

    The amp modelling is a bit iffy. The COSM thing on the GT-3 is better than on the GT-5 and upwards where they changed it around.

    The manual is a beast but once read it all makes sense. I have a few banks with standard effects at different levels. i.e. pedal A = overdrive, B = distortion, C = chorus, D = delay, EXP = wah. I don't use much more than that in my normal stand-alone pedal setup anyway.
