Superb sound
I have been playing guitar for more than 10 years and while I haven't used many effects, I do have some experience with classic pedals like wah-wah and distortion.
I bought the Boss GX-10 immediately after it came out but wanted to play around with it before actually posting a review.
At this point, these are my thoughts:
PROS:
1) The variety of sounds you can get out of it is remarkable.
2) The quality of the sounds is great.
3) I love the fact I can simply use my headphones to practice later without bothering my neighbours.
4) The option to use it as an interface is definitely good to have.
5) BOSS offers software that allows you to customise your sound more easily than on the device itself.
6) Solid build quality.
7) Small form-factor that packs so much.
CONS:
1) It may be difficult for new users of this type of devices to find their way in the interface. It's not that complicated but it may take you more time than simply dialing a few knobs on an actual pedal. That's why I recommend using the device with the software provided by BOSS so as to configure your preset more easily.
2) The wah/volume pedal works but do not expect an experience as smooth as the one with a dedicated such pedal. Of course, I did not have this expectation but thought it was important to mention it.
All in all, I would recommend this any day of the week. I guess that after a few months the convenient touchscreen will be enough for me to configure the sound I want more easily.

Powerful all-in-one solution
It is a compact version of the GX-100 that delivers.
If you play a lot of different genres and have a need of few effects but don't want to get a pedal for every stuff, this thing is loaded with Boss's legendary effects. There isn't a ton of amps simulations but what it has is good. The A.I.R.D. amps feel alive, if you’re serious about your tone and want a pedal that can keep up with your Metal chops, the GX-10 is a no-brainer.
Boss GX-10 proves itself as a robust build and reliable companion for guitarists. It is a versatile tool for any modern player and a worthy investment for those seeking a powerful all-in-one solution.

Great sounds but user interface could be better...
Out of the box the GX-10 sounds much better than my Headrush MX-5 with many really great pre-sets. The user interface however is not as good as the MX-5 and you really need to run the patch editor on a PC/Mac to be able to work easily. Annoying lag with the patch editing software on iPhone and Mac and harder (than Headrush) to organise patches, though of course Headrush doesn't have a PC editor so it needs to be better. The tones of the GX-10 make it a better machine overall, though...

Still the best
Had the GT6 and GT8 aswell ss the GT100 and have gone away from boards for 8 or 9 years but needed something in a hurry and something I was familiar with and I love the fact that within minutes I had useful and gig ready settings through the fx return on my terrible Fender Mustang iv.
I am so happy with it obviously I would rather the 4 button option but for the money and sounds I will adapt thanks to the Thomann crew as always

The GX10 is a great multi effects unit.
I bought this to add to my pedal board but realsied it is great to go direct into a DAW for recording also. The first multi effects unit I owned was a Zoom 505 but that was about 1000 years ago. This thing is 1,000,000 years ahead of that. The tone studio software is also great and so easy to get your head around.

Amazing value for the features
For me, the GX-10 remains the best value multi FX on the market for the features you get. Absolutely loads of fx and routing possibilities and even without 5 pin midi (the only downvote in my review for features) you still have usb midi. You could extend the stomp or expression capabilites by adding your own exp. pedal or another dual switch through the ctrl port on back.

very recommendable
As my first ever pedalboard I couldn't be more happy.
Sound quality and options are huge, just the wah wah pedal might not be as good as a dedicated one, but still f&% rocks!

The Perfect Match for my PRS Guitar, Fender Precision Bass and Fender Bass VI
I previously used a Fender Rumble 40 as Bass amp for the 2 basses, then bought the guitar. As I have limited space for placing a new Guitar Amp, I used ChatGPT to search an alternative. As I also have a RCF ART 910A FRFR speaker, this Boss GX-10 came out as a clear winner. I now use it as an AMP for my 3 instruments. The Fender Rumble was great with the basses, but the combination of GX10 with the RCF delivers the same sound quality. For the PRS guitar, it sounds great as well, but I cannot compare to other Amps as I did not have any before.
