This is a very powerful unit. I bought one when it came out. I used to play worship music for a local church and this was my rig. The more i played with the the more I love it. To a point when i joined a metal band and I used it for gigs and never had an issue. Eventually i switched to regular pedals BUT I kept using the GT-100 for rehearsals. I sold my ME 70 and ME 80 and kept this unit.
A couple of things about this unit that was sure thing that I wanted was the two features that made it easier for me. One they set up the tuner and Manual mode with pushing two buttons together like the Boss ME models. That was a huge relief for me because with the GT-8 and Gt-9 I had use the ctl. pedal they had there to assign them for tuner and Manual mode which now force me to use a separate pedal switch to use for the solo and extra mod patch. With this feature, I can now use less switchers and cables, which is a convenience to me.
Bought one of these a year ago. It was so damn complicated. I'm always too stoned to read an instruction manual and all the videos on RU-vid made it even more complicated, so I tossed my $500 brick in the closet. Then I saw this video and I remember why I was so excited to blow 1/2 a G on this thing. Thank you. Simple. Straight forward. English.
Outstanding, thanks so much for simplifying ☺. I'm just an acoustic guy and this dig/elec world is an overwhelming minefield that I stepped into. A bit like taking a guy from Backwater, Nebraska and dumping him/her into the middle of Time Square, Piccadilly Circus, Shibuya and telling them to go fill their boots 😱😬
Well done my friend! You're articulate, well organized and prolific at demonstrating and teaching of technological equipment. You should probably see about doing this for companies with reimbursements of one sort or another.
Having a user bank full of user patches & a separate preset/factory setting gives the user the ability to hear a particular sound, tweak it & store it in *his* own patch. Later, should he be curious about a parameter within the original, he can locate that original patch & have a permanent reference source for it. Priceless in my experience.
There's also a feature called "easy tone" where you are able to select a "style" like punk, metal, surf, country, ambient etc.... This is the best way to have a starting point for creating your own patches.
I've binging on your videos. Seem like a really cool person, laid back, no eho and just fun. And no gear snob kind of videos... Thank you for these videos. Been wondering about getting this pedalboard or a line 6 one so your videos have been awesome. Cheers from Portugal!
I bought this when it first came out, I was still in highschool and a real beginner at playing the guitar, well I couldn't understand it or work out how to use it so I took it back to the shop a week later haha
Nice. I wish in my country we have the same consumer's privilege. We don't do "return policy" here haha so after you make a purchase all risk is yours. But there's at least one advantage : price is way cheaper here. I got my MIJ RG6xx for 700USD, normal price in sweetwater was about 1200. And my other RG, a rare one, got it for 1000USD. On promusictools it was 1400EUR (yes, euro).
@@raymondjames1341 yes it was made clear on the receipt “no return for purchased item(s)” haha sorry English not my first language. I think because we are used to this we became more selective and always think a lot before purchase. You can return it if it’s under warranty and get replaced but not apply to all. Household appliances for example. But musical instruments are almost always no return policy. I’m from Indonesia
@@raymondjames1341 Me-80 is good but the looper is hard to use. Me-80 is good for live performances and at home compare to GT100 which has a lot of tweaking and fixing around. But sound wise GT100 is much better, tho its not far off.
I've just ordered 1 today....AMERICAN MUSIC SUPPY....THEIR GREAT PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH .....GREAT VID....CANT WAIT TO GET MINE..ILL BE COMING BACK TO watch this again..probably 10 more ×
So, overall, how does the GT-100 stack up against similar boards you've used, both in usability and quality of sounds? In your opinion, would you recommend this or a different board? I've been strictly a pedal guy for many years but have finally considered getting one of these to play with and I'm going nuts trying to figure out what to get.
@@jozjonlin3170 Thanks for replying. Btw have you ever considered the ME 80. I realise it’s a very different class of device but I am tempted because of its simple layout. It’s either that or the GT 100 for me.
WoW. Thank you so much for this video. I hope I can get this pedal soon. This is the first video I have seen of yours so I also hope you have more videos like this waiting for me on your channel 😄 Im definetly going to be subbing if all your vids are like this one dude. Praying your staying safe out there. ✌ 😃 ✝ ❤
Very helpful wonderful tutorial, pls can you do a video on how to set pre Amp A & pre Amp B on one patch using ACCEL CTL, I have GT-100 and on the U1-3 which is the natural clean it has pre ampA and pre ampB, so I want to use the pre ampA as clean, and the pre ampB as distortion.
Sayak P Chatterjee usability and the overall quality of the effects. POD 500x is hard to adjust while playing due to the small display and has less customization via the pc, the gt100 also has the capability to convert the guitar signal into a midi source and also allows direct recording into DAW
And sir does it have dual amp...like two different amp set on a same patch and panned hard left right for stereo sound ...is possible ? For metal tones..?
Depends on your budget. For the price, I think the GT100 is still a very usable pedalboard. But if you can afford it, the newer Boss GT1000 or Line 6 Helix are better investments. They have the most up-to-date modeling software, features, and a better user experience.
Yes, chromatic, and you can set it to any root but it only does regular or dropped, no other stuff like DADGAD or something. And with the 2.0 firmware you can set it to polytune.
Gt-100 brother. Why?, Because It's filled with so many Boss pedals w/classic sounds that have already been proven to stand the test of time. The device itself is built by Roland, and it's an absolute tank, bulletproof and will likely out live us all. Boss GT-100 is forever and will never ever be obsolete.
@@mlnem2k oooh man..now i have the mooer ge 200..its ok unit for the money,when i plug it to my computer sounds amazing..when i try it with my amp sounds like shitt
@@fathermarcus7808 like the GT-100 you must tell the Unit what it's plugged into. By default these boards arrive in full stereo with amp modeling on. This sounds unbelievable when plugged into headphones or even computer. Guitar Amps (most) have a mono guitar input. So you need to find the setting that lets you tell the device to output a mono signal with no modeling. On the gt-100 it's in settings and there are options for computer, guitar amp, guitar amp return, combo amp, stack amp etc..... Also, the preset you use must be created with this in mind.
Hi sir can i get some of that for this new year because i can't afford any of it. Because i want to offer that pedalboard on our church. I hope you'll notice me sir
just got back from buying one of these.. its January of 2021... the year of vaccine... end of covid-45... I just got this and am going to my studio which is also a boss unit... I am going to use this on my keys... lets see what happens.. ?? #WarrenProject #DrMorq #theSoundry #housofmanycolors
what is so foreign about "Into a Headphone set"? AND, How to get back to the Factory set up? I bought a Used GT 100. ALL I WANT TO DO...is Put it all back to The ORIGINAL Factory Format? am I using the wrong words?? Wouldnt it be something one may wish to do...? Maybe if this chap would focus on the details Rather than attempting to be the center of attn.? Did he ever come to the realization (with his litany of "Line 6" tutorials) none of which saved me any time or taught me anything except to scroll past all of his ineptitude(s) vids on that catastrophic nightmare sound garbage can.... when one needs to make 20 vids about the same pc of gear, one might try to produce 1 or 2 vids that Cover it?
This multi effect is a crap! Don't ever buy this. I had mine returned to the dealer because of intermittent sound fluctuation. They tried to fix it by replacing the circuit board. It was fine for a while until the issue starts happening again... What a waste of money...
