Hi folks!
I'm a newbie looking for information on the GT Pro. Some background info and a couple of questions follow?
I'm an older guy that has played guitar primarily as an at home hobbiest and have just started playing out last year. I have begun purchasing some quality equipment, concentrating in live solo performance, acoustic guitar and some vocals. I am looking at the GT Pro since it is the newest model out that appears to be comprehensive in features; although, it is pricy. What I want to accomplish is to have the ability to preprogram effects that maximize audience perception of aural pleasure and stun them with high fidelity sound and effects. Please realize that I have only been able to fiddle around with a few of the multi-effect processors in stores and realy don't have any idea of the limits of the GT Pro, even when I look through the manual that is online.
Some Questions:
1) Does the GT Pro have a midi input that I can connect a midi clock in to control the candence of some of the effects...such as an auto-pan. I would like to be able to clock the auto pan in sequence with a small ear bud that is carrying the clock tick to my ear. OR maybe the GT Pro has a clocked auto pan that can be programmed and I can then switch to a particular patch, but begin playing according to an earbud carrying a metronome signal. I have a few particular pieces that sound so much better when I'm listening to a clock...e.g. a waltz beat. If I can accomplish great stereo panned effects through my tri-amped system this year, I'm hoping to move on to Quad and/or Surround type effects that overwhelm the audience with controlled sound, again projected by a tri-amped system.
2) I've read a couple of the comments about the GT Pro here on GT Central and wonder if the Pro is really the right comprehensive effect unit for me. It seems to be the newest. Any comments on whether or not this unit is really providing overall capabilities above and beyond that of other units or combinations of units?
Respectfully,
