Its Amazing! Get it!
Quality:
Its a Boss, so it is made to handle a lot of use. Absolutely road worthy.
Reliability:
It is very reliable as long as you use a good power conditioner. I had a power outage once while using it and it fried the motherboard. Thank god I got the Warranty. The only problem was that the motherboard was backordered 3 months from Japan. However, after getting it back I got a good power conditioner, had a power surge and the thing still works great works! As long as your protect it properly, this thing can stand the test of time. I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for the motherboard being backordered for 3 months.
Overall:
Its amazing. I tested the Line 6 and Digitech models, and the Boss GT-10 is WAY better. It is a heck of alot easier to use then the prior model, the GT-8. This item is simple to use. The EZ tone creater makes things really simple. And the built in tuner is awesome. It hs 200 pre-programed patches and 200 places for your own custom patches, giving you up to 400 options!!!
Playability and Feel:
Its definitely a solid effects processor. The pedals are easy to use and the built in wah/expression/ volume pedal has so many different specifications you can tweek it too. You have to press the pedal down fairly hard to activate the Wah/Expression which disengages the foot volume. Some may not like that, but I think it is a smart design. It keeps you from activating the wah on accident when adjusting the volume. Overall, I don't know how anyone could not like this unit.
Tone:
Tone is outstanding. Combine this unit with a good tube amp and you are in tonal heaven. It works great on my 30w practice amp too, but obviously I prefer my tube amp. Make sure you read the manual, because there are so many hidden features in this thing that you will never know about without reading. I mentioned the EZ tone creater earlier, its good. But if you really want to see where this thing can take you with your tone, dont be afraid to experiment with the advanced tone settings as well, EZ Tone will only take you so far.
Finish:
Looks great in any set up. The display is incedibly easy to see on a stage.
Action:
Plug it in and you are ready to go. Anyone could use this thing.

Good Looking and Rugged.
Quality:
Highest Quality. Thick Padding, Tight Heavy Duty Stitching and Construction. It has interior velcro straps and adjustable padded end bracing that secures my GT-8 tight as a drum. Large front pocket to hold accessories.
Reliability:
It's tough and durable, I have no reason to think it wouldn't last a long time if it's not abused.
Overall:
This is a handsome gig bag that protects my important gear. I have a Boss GT-8 and a Boss RC-50 looper and this bag holds either one securely. At first I was hesitant over the price but nobody has it cheaper once you factor in free shipping and I had it within 48 hours of ordering! Once I got it and used it I was happily impressed. I think it's a bargain.
Playability and Feel:
