Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable?
Excellent quality with no flaws that I can find. The display is easy to read and it's likely not possible to break it without trying to.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Only 2 months, but so far, no issues.
Overall
Your general opinion of this product.
Just an amazing piece of gear! I loved my GNX4 but this may be better still. It's certainly sturdier. A second expression pedal would have probably made it perfect.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
You'll notice that each bank has 4 patches, the first patch in any bank is the mildest while the 4th patch in any bank is the wildest. The "P" banks are the factory patches. The "U" banks and patches are all editable. Set them up as you see fit. Assigning functions to control pedals has a bit of a learning curve and while the manual tells you how to do it, it really doesn't tie it all together and tell you how it all works.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
Depending on the patch you select, or make, the tone can be great or it can be rubbish. It's easy to take an excellent patch and quickly trash it. Know your EQ and the functions of all of the drives, reverbs, distortions, modulations, etc, and you'll do well. There are a LOT of options in there. Youtube has some excellent demos and tutorials on the GT-10 and there's a good forum out there with some really expert GT users as well. Suggest you make use of them all!
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
The finish is handsome silver and black. Very professional looking.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Plug it in, plug your guitar in, attach it to an amp and do it to it. Word has it that the modeling is more true to life when used with headphones rather the a guitar amp, and some people prefer a PA or a keyboard amp because they deal with higher frequencies better than a guitar amp, but I have no issues with how it works as is, run through my Blackstar 40

The controls are very easy to read and understand with a little manuel reading you will be on your way to killer guitar tones and sound.

Killer Tone! I use this unit mostly in a project studio doing demo stuff and originals. But this unit along with a set of headphones is an unbelieveable practice tool with the built in Looper. Also doesnt bother my Peeps when they are trying to watch TV. I practice right beside them. Great Tool!

Its a tank, a genuine tank, rolling over the hill tank, shooting big holes in the wall tank.
Playability and Feel

Knobs and buttons are easy to use, I don't like having to depress both foot switches to start the loop recorder, but that can be changed with a few simple steps. I expect that I will be building a large library of the user saved effects for years as I learn the nuances of the GT10 and my music evolves. I think the sky is the limit as far as variability of sounds, time will tell.
Tone

Its easy to get many metal sounds without much working knowledge and experience with the unit. Getting quality clean sounds takes more time, effort and finness.
