The Boss GT-100 V2 Amp Effect Processor impresses with its versatility and quality, offering a virtual rig with extensive amp and pedal simulations, including new MDP effects.

Good Sounds by Pre/Amps FX and COSM technology plus MIDI

Great sounds not better than the Line6 HD POD 500X but EQs are the great point of comparison with the Line 6, you don't need a guitar amp, I use it with two power ampsof 2 x 400 w, and speakers used for music, but not guitar amps, and it sounds really great when patch settings are adequate.
