Yes, they do, better than the VF-1's, which I think are more recent 
version of COSM. No idea why, but I couldn't replicate my favorite 
GP-100 sounds on the VF-1, using the same effects and same settings. 
The VF-1 is a little to 'crisp' and 'hi-fi' sounding. Great for time 
based stuff, bad for distortion.

In my opinion, much. Thicker heavy distortions, and a huge 
improvement on those 'slightly distorted Deluxe' sounds. The GP-100 
was great on clean, great on heavily distorted, but nothing in 
between. Problem is, the J's effects, which are good, but not 
thorough by any means. I use the VF-1 for effects.

With the J/VF-1 combo, I sold the GP-100. Some people like the 
routing possibilites of the GP-100, which are great, but I never 
really used em. 
The J/VF-1 go into a Mackie mixer, into powered JBL speakers. Sounds 
great.

Sure, I have my sysex from my Geep somewhere, just email me and I 
will send it...maybe there is something you can use.
