Bottom line, I'm really surprised Boss missed the opportunity with this and question if it should carry the Boss name. Do I love it? Yes, I kept it. I still recommend it for solo singing guitarists.

Mic inputs feature phantom power and high-grade preamps with low noise and wide gain range (+70 dB) For high quality vocals, look no further! The GSC-8 Gigcaster's mic inputs feature phantom power and high-grade preamps with low noise to ensure sparkling clarity and vocal articulation. With a staggeringly wide gain range (+70dB) it can adapt to any input level you encounter. All in all, the Gigcaster 8 is a hugely full-featured and very well thought out device that's perfect not just for streamers, but also for content creators, video professionals, online guitar teachers, podcasters… you name it. Perhaps my only criticism is that the name "audio streaming mixer" doesn't come close to describing the capabilities of this unit. It's fantastic, and I will most certainly be adding one to my streaming setup. Compact five-channel streaming mixer with a direct guitar/bass input, two XLR inputs, stereo line input, eight virtual sound/effect pads, 16x12 USB audio interface, and more. Although the smaller size means the hardware pads are not present, users are still able to trigger sounds and control effects thanks to the inclusion of virtual pads which utilise the device’s touchscreen.

It took time to dial it in but I now love the patches I've created. I play mostly clean, sometimes with a light overdrive, but I like a clean sound. I worked for weeks trying to get a good acoustic sound but wasn't able to, then suddenly, a couple days ago, I found the secret to it and it sounds great. My clean sound and this acoustic sound is used for 95% of my songs.
