I have an EA-5 and have friends with GA-1 and 3s. The only thing that differs slightly between the EA-5 and GA-l is foot switches and a small improvement in sound quality. I have added speakers to the EA and it sounds as good as the GA-3 to my ears. Software works on EA and GA. I would rather have 2 foot switches but not at the cost difference....EA to GA.
