Boss Gigcaster 8 Streaming Mixer | Review | Guitar Interactive 

don't really understand the hostility towards this reviewer. If you've taken the time to click on this and watch it, it shouldn't be too difficult to find reviews of other similar equipment to make your own comparisons. The problem with a lot of RU-vid reviews is that the people reviewing them can be very poor guitarists and can't show the true potential of the equipment. The biggest mystery to me are the amateurs that review an amp, but insist on plugging an effects pedal in first. What a waste of time that is. I think this video is a straightforward honest review that shows what this machine is capable of, nothing more, nothing less.

Best review of this I have seen so far........ Thank You

That is the best RU-vid review video I have ever seen. Well done Nick! I will use this as a reference when I get the Gigcaster.

I was looking for a proper musician running through it.Thank you very much for the nuances you demonstrated.Great stuff !

Brilliant review of a great product. ❤

Thank you for the in-depth look with the footswitching. I was e-mailing Boss and asking them if this can do "snapshots" "scenes" like our beloved modelers and they couldn't even answer. But you covered it here, so thank you!

Thanks for pointing out the functionality with cameras! This seems to be great for people doing clinics. Thank you for pointing it out in the review. Some strange hostility in the comments though. I'd not even respond to those, not worth the energy.

Great review. On the camera switching with the foot switch, did you use a third party plugin to map MIDI CC to OBS, or something else? Thanks.

Very cool. I didn't even know there was a product like this to be fair.

Hi, Nick! Do you have a video explaining in detail (a step-by-step instruction) how to set up the Gigcaster 8 with the GA-FC EX pedal? If you have not recorded one, could you direct me to someone who has done it? My very specific question is this: how do I assign each switch to perform a given task -- let's say, I want to sing a song that has a part where I will be singing with the double-voice effect; then, I want to sing another part of the song doing vocal harmony (higher & lower). How exactly do I make each switch do that particular effect when I press it? I tried assigning the first switch (on the left) and it worked. I chose double-voice and the effect would go on or off as I pressed the switch. I tried to do the same with the second switch, with a different effect. It did not work, and it was somehow "hooked" to the first switch, meaning it would interfere with the operation of the first switch. I tried the third switch, and the same thing happened. I was not able to choose a different/independent effect for each switch. I am not a technically inclined person, and I feel that I have a Boeing 747 in front of me without clear instructions on how to fly it. At the same time, I've noticed that the documentation that came with both products is very poor, very superficial. I am having a very hard time trying to have fun with the two (Gigcaster 8 & the GA-FC EX pedal), and I am very frustrated. If you can help (or not), please let me know. Thank you for your attention.

Great review. Can the bluetooth channel be EQ’d on the fly? Thanks for your time and effort doing this!

Hi Thank you for the review. Can we use phone input in the front for keyboard in ?

sick video! I'm looking to buy one of these, but you got a sub from me for such good content!

Hi GIM, I'm returning to gigs for small pubs. What this unit is capable of, would mean no need for the extra pedals / wires / plugs and extensions etc. So, by protecting with a case, would the GC8 be roadworthy enough to use just for live solo guit/voc gigs? kind regards Gaz

such a great device, and really good review. thx but something you should know if you use apple: gigmaster is still NOT WORKING with Mac OS 14 or IOS 17, at least per now

Ciao Nick, video molto interessante. Vorrei sapere la frequenza di campionamento minima del gigcaster a 48khz (ad esempio in daw posso selezionare 48khz 32sample-96 sample?... ., e mi piacerebbe anche sapere quanti input potrei avere nella mia scheda) fornita dal driver asio, e se è una vera scheda audio, da usare online con il pc alla minima latenza possibile. Grazie in anticipo e scusa per il mio pessimo inglese scolastico

Is there a way to remove or mute the effects and turn them all on and off with a one click button?

Nice! Thanks 👍

Is there any way to use this with wireless/bluetooth rather than cable to your pc or ipad?

Screen seems to be not overly responsive - could you please confirm?

I'm missing even brief comparisons to the ample number of similar devices... As it is, this review tells me nothing about why I'd choose this one over any of the other ~10 or so competing products!

What he can do is talking ... talking ... and talking ... the mirror is missing. I look other videos to get senseful infos about Gigcaster8. BYE
