Both pedals have dropped in price since they were released, but the GT-100 seems to always end up at least $200 more expensive than the ME-80. The main difference between the ME-80 and the GT-100, outside of any of these specifications, is what they are meant to be used for.

Does the 4 cable method work with the hd500x?
The 4 Cable Method works extremely well with the HD500X (read my review here), the HD500, HD400, or newer models such as the Helix. The bonus advantage to using the 4 cable method with a multi-effects unit such as the HD500X is that you can also mix and match using the pedal’s amp modeling with your amp.
How does the 4 cable method work with the Boss GT-10?
The 4 Cable Method works with the Boss GT-10, GT-8, GT-6, GT-5 & GT-3. Just like with the HD500X, with the 4 Cable Method you can easily switch between your amp’s preamp and the preamps on the GT. This gives you far more flexibility than relying completely on one or the other. Here is a diagram for the 4 Cable Method on the GT-10:
What is the 4 cable method of hooking up a pedalboard?
The 4 cable method is a way to hook up a pedalboard to an amp in a way that allows you to control which pedals or effects are placed before the pre-amp and which pedals or effects are placed after the pre-amp in the amp’s effects loop. This is achieved using four cables hence the name.
What do I need to get started with the 4 cable method?
The first thing you need is an amp that has an effects loop. If your amp doesn’t have an effects loop, then you cannot use the 4 cable method. Small practice amps generally don’t have effects loop while almost all larger amps will.
