Seriusly? I didn't like the big muff emulation, too trebly than a real one, but I found the Squak or RAT really cool!
Yeah, but it was on a g3 Bass Version with a Bass amp when i tried it at my buddys House. No idea if it is different :idk:

I tried the "Great Muff" with the Exciter and the tube booster as a pre-amp for warming up the sound (yes, it works perfectly) and It sounds very huge!
Shit, this thing is the best purchase I ever made!

Can you really stack six effects or are there limitations when stacking certain effects like, say, six reverbs or delays?

With the G5 I can stack up to 9 pedals/amps at time. I never maxed the CPU but I used autoswell, compressor, eq, pitchshifter, vibrato,hd reverb, tape and reverse delay without problems. I think long decay reverb, pitch shifting, reverse and frippertronesque tape delay are CPU suckers.

Man, I am so glad other people have found this pedal and are digging it. I thought the G3 was good, but the G5 just impresses me more and more each time I use it.

Probably the same DSP and programs, but it looks like I was thinking of the 50G/B, not the G5.

With a little price difference you can consider the ms100, you can add some cool effects.

The MS-100BT and the MS-70CDR are both $100 at Samash.com. The 100 has recently added some free bass and CDR patches in the store/app, but not all. I'm a bit more interested in the 70, but the 100 is a pretty good deal for doing a bit of everything.
