Boss GT-8 & Boss GT-10 Equalizer Settings for a warm Sound

Introduction

To be kind to Boss I would say that most of the preamp models are bit too bright sounding. I mean it's not what I call a warm sound.
My old Line6 Pod Pro had a lack of highs but it was more a dull sound than a warm sound. In contrast to the Line6 Pod Pro the Boss GT-8 & Boss GT-10 have to much highs which are also not warm sounding.

Suggestion

Use the equalizer to reduce the unnecessary highs for a warm sound without getting a dull sounding amp emulation.

Tips & Tricks for the Boss GT-10 & GT-8

I will talk about two key areas of the Boss GT-8 & GT-10 multi effect processors.

It's conspicuous that the "original speakers" of the Boss GT-8 sound totally different than the custom speakers. Most of the overdriven preamp models are a bit on the shrill side. Without low mids but with too much highs. The rectifiers are the exception. They are absolutly dull sounding.
