Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

I still have my VF-1 (and the rest of my previous rig), so I still
check in on my old groups to see if I can help. But, I made the jump
to the VF-1 "replacement," the GT-Pro. If you're looking for options,
control and unbelieveable tone, you might want to check it out. My
previous rig was a VF-1 in front, a Tech 21 PSA-1 for the preamp and a
TC Electronics G-Major in the effects loop, all controlled by a
Behringer FCB1010. Now I have the GT-Pro being controlled by the
FCB1010 and that's it! Simple and incredible, all at the same time.
