I have a Boss GT8 FX pedal a Fender and a Gibson. Is there any way I can find out the ways I need to tweak the pedal in order to get signature sounds. For example say I wanted to get a Joe Satriani sound or a Greenday sound.. like the sound in the song When I Come Around.
Is there a website or somewhere I can go to get tips? This freakin pedal has about 20 pre-amps and 20 overdrives and I dont know where to begin. I have a sound grasp of reverb and delay. Thanks.

Oh if it makes a difference, I am using both guitars in my attempts to create sounds and it is running from a Fender Blues Junior tube amp which is a very versatile amp. Contruary to popular belief, you do not need a huge stack to make a "fat" sound.

allot of the essence of your sound is relevant to your amp.
The only way is through trial and error to find the sound you like.
I have a Peavy with twin Black widow speakers and play a fender strat. I found my best sound came from a Yamaha digital effects processor.
But that's just what is right for me.

A useful site for finding out exactly what 'Rigs' these artist use is http://www.guitargeek.com/. They have a long list of artists and their stage set-ups. This way you can at least try to emulate their sound by selecting what types of guitar, amps they used, effect chains and settings. Try to match up as best you can their rig to the amp simulations/on board effects in your pedal. It's not going to be perfect as you are limited by your own gear.. but tweak along to the sound on the Cd's as a reference.

In the studio, many guitarists use small amps that overdrive nicely, and don't need lots of pedals for a nice fat fuzz. Get a studio amp like a Fender Champ or Peavey Companion or whatever the current equivalents are and mic it.

I didn't see the GT-8 on here, but I saw a lot of settings for other songs using Boss pedals.....

There are sites on the web that can help you with youre settings. just simply google them, but i would strongly suggest you try to develop youre own sound, just sit down and experiment and come up with something you like.

dude, i think there should be a way such that you can varies the modulation, and try to add a purifier before you amp, this may work... good luck.

You'll just have to fiddle with your bits until you're satisfied!
