I keep reading awesome things about the BOSS JS-10 and have heard some awesome recordings made with it. So I looked into the GT-100 and ME-80. They both seem to be based on the same technology (COSM), but the GT-100 is MUCH more expensive than the ME-80.

Does anybody know the big differences between the ME-80 and GT-100?

I'm becoming more and more discontented with my Zoom G5. Direct into my PC it sounds OK, but it has a really harsh sound when put in front of my Peavey Valveking amp, even when I dial down the treble.

The one thing I would miss are the built in drum beats. However, I can get an Alesis SR-16 for a bit over $100 to serve that purpose...and I could put together real drum patterns.

Thoughts...?
