So I've gone full circle here lol. Bought the GT40 a few days after release, got frustrated with the bluetooth issues and other general nonsense and returned it on the 45th day. Since then I've had the Katana, Code25, ID:Core 20, and Ampifi 30. They all sounded great, as did the GT but had other things I didn't like for what I was using them for. I finally said $*#$ it and bought a Helix for my recording needs and absolutely love it. Unfortunately the studio is in another room and I miss noodling around sitting on the couch while watching the tele.

I'd like to give the GT40 another go now that it will just be a pluck around amp because I really liked the sound I got at bedroom volume, but if the BT and iOS/Android apps are still garbage maybe I'll give the small Vox amps a try. I haven't taken one of those home yet :)

So, how's the Bluetooth and apps behavin' these days?

Thanks!!

AJB

Tried this tonight!
Updated amp and iOS app and still doesn’t connect automatically.
Managed to get music and software control working for first time though once connected and seemed stable.
Still waiting for landscape mode though and app miles behind others in operation.

Ugh, well I went ahead and ordered another one tonight anyway lol. At least this time I know what I'm getting into :) I spent the better part of two weeks looking at all the other options that have been released since, and the GT40 still ticks more boxes for me than anything out there. The Katana Air is intriguing, but Boss still hasn't shipped any and the $400 asking price is crossing the line for a practice/living room amp IMHO.

Cheers!
