Yeah, I think the work-around I found is just that - a solution that works in my particular situation, but does not resolve what seems to be a deeper issue with implicit feedback on these devices.
I'd love to see a real fix, but I haven't had the time to dig more into the code. It would be great to get some input from whoever wrote the implicit feedback system in the first place.

I thought I would re-try the change you made. When I tried this last year on my old laptop, I recall I couldn't get it working properly.
This time around it works... sort of, but isn't without some significant issues for me. For a start, it only works in Jack. If I try to access the alsa device directly (for instance, using ALSA mode in Ardour or using Audacity) it doesn't work. It also fills my dmesg with error messages:
[ 184.089158] usb 1-4: Unable to change format on ep #8e: already in use [ 184.089232] usb 1-4: Unable to change format on ep #8e: already in use [ 184.089401] usb 1-4: Unable to change format on ep #8e: already in use [ 184.089619] usb 1-4: Unable to change format on ep #8e: already in use
So, unfortunately, whilst it seems like it's a tactical fix for some situations, it seems to be broken in other ways.
When I tried it on my GT-001 I got similar results, although only one "Unable to change format on ep #8e: already in use" message this time rather than the logs getting spammed. Interestingly, I got more xruns with this as well.
Personally I'll be going back to how I had it before with the implicit feedback disabled, as it's more reliable and functional for me, but it's clear this one isn't solved yet.
Cheers,
Keith

That's also what I see from dmesg when I use the quirk device ID patch. I'm pretty sure it means that implicit feedback is not being enabled for your device.
Since these devices are designed to work with implicit feedback, the ideal solution would be to have them work by using it, rather than disabling it.
That said, patching the quirk code with the extra device IDs would make it so they at least produce output...
The "fix" I'm currently using (linked to in my first response) makes the implicit feedback code not wait to send data until it has received some. It works perfectly for me, but success has been mixed for others so I didn't feel comfortable submitting it as a patch.
FYI, I did a little write-up here:
http://blog.nostatic.org/2020/01/getting-boss-gt-1-effects-processor-to.html
It outlines my struggle with this issue - from trying the quirk ID patch, to messing with the sample rate, and finally to modifying the implicit feedback behavior.

Hi Keith,
The lsusb output just shows that the endpoint is there, but not that it is getting connected when the device is initialized. Can you check dmesg output when you use the device for playback?
This is what I see from dmesg when the implicit feedback endpoint is being used:

Note the "Starting sync EP".

Keith - are you getting an implicit feedback endpoint created when you run with the patch?
