Yea they were the industry standard through the 70' to 90's but I'm not sure how many people are putting a boss pedal in their top 5's these days. They spawned a whole cottage industry of modders and their short comings were as responsible for industry standards of boutique pedal world as their size and controls.

Boss have always been a odd one, somehow they've managed to be one of the biggest companies in guitar effects while rarely being anyone's favourite. I say this as a owner of the gt-1000 core. Maybe it's being based in Asia so being informed by a player market that's probably as far away form the Anglophone world as possible. Maybe it's just being such a big corporate beast. I really can't see this while licensed plugin formate taking. It will be interesting as they say these are brand new algorithms what their next iteration of multi's and modellers look like.

I'm not what the point would be of micing a cab that's designed not to colour your tone, why not just DI

Reading the manual the control design for this does look pretty genius cramming a helluva lot of control into a six knob pedal. At the same time personally I'd probably rather just plug my phone into my C4 and have a visual of the settings. I can see that it would appeal to lots of people who find that idea off-putting and want something you can program without another device.

If you got on well with the Boss upgrade to the Gt100core it really is ridiculously good, can be for a steal secondhand. You can set it up as if it's just individual pedals you turn on and off with the three foot switches, or program it to do a whole set list with patches. The hardware is newer than the stomp which will likely see a replacement model come out in a few years time. It's not better than the stomp it's just different and easily as good. The only reason I would say not to get it is if you're after recreations of lots of different amps or pedals. If that's your thing go neural or line 6. If you like Boss effects however (they were THE standard effects pedal for decades for a reason) go boss.

Close but not quiet spot on. Speaker simulation (how boss refers to it's own ir's) or IR's are tied to A.I.R.D. amp blocks (how boss refers to amp simulation) so when both amp blocks are switched off there is no speaker simulation. Output selection is irrelevant in this configuration regardless of how it's set speaker simulation is also disabled. Alternatively if you have output set to recording in the speaker simulation block you can then also select the speaker type as off and then you will have no amp simulation regardless of whether the amp block is on or not.

Except as was already pointed out in the thread room the idea of an overall 'in-room sound' is a bit of a misnomer . Unless you are able to listen in multiple locations in the room or very very experienced with how your bass sound reproduces in different rooms and have a high amount of control of many variables there's very little guarantee being in the first camp produces a better result than the second.
