You are not paying more money and I just get a little fee, that will help me to make more videos
In this video we will share a comparison between the BOSS GT 1000 and the Line 6 HELIX LT. Actually, I hope that this video will be useful for guitarists, who maybe want to buy a new amp modeling and multi effects pedalboard in the 850-1000 price range and are unsure which one to choose. Let me say that both the pedalboards are good options, but maybe one of them has that extra feature that better suite your needs…So, the arguments we will discuss together are: the technical differences between the two pedalboards, in terms for instance of in/out, sampling frequency and so on and so forth…Then we will better listen to the sound differences, that you are already hearing in the demo song…Finally I will give you my 2 cents. BOSS and LINE 6 are using a different philosophy for modeling the amps and the sound of the two units is pretty different even using the same amp at the same setting...also the effects are pretty different in my opinion...and these differences are more obvious in the "more sound" section of this video...Let me know what's your opinion and if these sound differences are a key deciding factor for you...I hope you enjoy and please don't forget to subscribe and hit the notification bell...it would be of a great help!!!

@@LeoGibsonGtr What is the cab sim selected for GT-1000? From what i can see you've selected 4x12" greenbacks for Helix and tone is exactly like pushing distortion through greenbacks. Mid focused and sparky having almost no that hi-freq sand that other speakers have. I'd say that when it comes to tone speaker is at least half of it.

One thing that nobody mentions. I had a Helix and was happy until I went on stage at an outdoor festival. Some how a button was pressed by accident and went in to a different mode. I couldn't see the screen in the sunlight!! I was a night mare!! All my programing went out the window. So I went home, got a screen protector, sunvisor which was supposed to help.

@LeeKobe1 Год назад

@DennisTube01 4 года назад

I'm went for the GT-1000 and have no regrets after 4 months of use. The GT gives you a lot of options/possibilities in creating effect-chains with different paths. Im not sure how that compares to the Helix but it would be an important feature for me. How does that compare? The looper function is nice but for (complex/monster of) machines like this 30 or 60 seconds is nothing. Its like building a big luxury car and then put a simple old radio cassette player in it. A separate looper pedal is needed if you are into that (but then you probably already have one).

Thank you was wondering how smooth the looper is and the recording time but yeah 60 ain’t shit 😂

@johnnythelion.8670 Год назад

The grid and presence of the Boss is far superior. This really isn't a competition. There really isn't much to compare. For me as an Audio Engineer, I find it much more easier and fun to tweak a "heavy" sound than a "thin"one. Helix just sounds too thin for me. At least in this "comparison." I am still doing my research at the moment to decide which I will buy. But to be entirely honest, with the sound comparison in this video, Boss is the clear winner.

@LeoGibsonGtr Год назад

Hi, thank you so much for sharing your findings!

@batmandeltaforce Год назад

I too have settled on the BOSS GTK. I am a tapper, and nothing fells and responds like the BOSS. The notes just jump off the fretboard. I use all 3 CC pedals, and there are only 3 tools with that. But maybe the best part of the BOSS, are the natural overtones. That AIRD technology is the GOAT:) Also it has the lowest lag time at 2 milliseconds, which sounded odd at first, coming from a Headrush, which has a great "amp in the room" sound, but the feel is horrible for a tapper:) The Fractal is just ridiculously complicated, and you gain nothing from that. We play everything from beach, to head bangin' over the top rock, and I can do it all with 2 presets and 3 CC pedals (1 on board and 2 external).

@Philminator 4 года назад

There was only 1 preset that I liked more on the Helix. To me the BOSS GT1000 sounds much better. Was surprised the how different it actually sounds.

Thanks for the video! I helped me a lot to understand the difference between the two. In my case, I've been using boss pedals since 2005 so I was sure to buy the gt-1000, but I wanted to hear about the options available as well. The weight is a key factor to me as I would use it at home but transport it from time to time, and I have a chronic pain that makes me appreciate the lighter GT-1000. The line6 sounds great. I would use it if I planned to keep it at home. I have a Korg Kronos, which sounds great, but is not easy to transport, so I don't want the same to happen with the pedalboard. Great comparison nonetheless!

@CS-ru4xd 2 года назад

What's most important for me (and should be for anyone who cares about their tone and sounding good) is the sounds and feel of the unit. I have owned pretty much every modelling/profiler and most sound great but the Boss just has a feel to it that I wasn't getting from the other units...the closest was the Kemper. I mean really...how many amps and effects do you really need? What I love about the Boss is it's stripped down format with only the essentials. Create your sound...tweak it and that's it!! And let's talk about the "feel" of the unit. I did a direct side-by-side with a few other units and the Boss and it's true what they say about the A.I.R.D tech. The feel under the hands and the response of your attack is quite noticeable. I feel that the GT1000 has a richer sound to it and once you learn how to adjust the ins and outs a fiddle around with the EQ-ing and cabs and mics...it's all gravy from there!!

@IsaacLausell 4 года назад

Excellent video and lovely playing! It is so nice to finally hear demos from a musician actually playing the gear instead of noodling or rambling. For me it would be difficult to decide. For example right now Boss released the GT-1000 core which would be smaller than both these units but with the sound and signal path options of the GT-1000 minus the switching. As you I am very comfortable with the Boss effects. I hear something interesting going on in the upper range of the GT-1000, almost like more air, a very natural attack vs the more masked quality of the Line 6. On other hand the Boss sounds kind of fizzy for my taste and the line 6 sounds warmer which I prefer. I do know that I have run into this situation with other Boss gear and I have been able to dial out the fizz. I just wish their base sound started closer to the ball park because without giving it a try it is hard form me to discern if I would be able to tame it. The upside I see about the new GT 1000 unit is that one could do everything that you can with the bigger unit minus the switching capabilities wether as with the smaller Line 6 units one always has to deal with the lower processing situation and how it limits what you can have in the chain.

@LeoGibsonGtr 4 года назад

Hi Isaac, thank you very much, your compliments really means a lot to me! Thank you also for sharing your opinion! My only concern with the GT 1000 core is the price...in my opinion it is too high and close to the bigger GT 1000...maybe I will do a review about the GT 1000 core as soon as I will be able to get one! Thank you!

@IsaacLausell 4 года назад

Leo Gibson That is a great observation about the price, I agree.

@batmandeltaforce Год назад

For me it comes down to feel. I am a tapper, and nothing feels like the GTK, especially with the overtones. The AIRD Tech is unmatched, IMO.

@Faithinthedock Год назад

Many thanks Leo. After years of being blinded by all the extra tech., I've come back to the fundamental issue that sound quality is absolutely key. I probably have no more than a dozen sounds (which I may wish to alter a little) so I'd like a fairly broad range of sound options but they must sound how my ear wants them to sound. I too may be a little biased since I have owned a Boss GT-5 and GT-8 over the years but listening to the sound clips, the Helix has the edge on the clean arpeggios but once there is any 'drive' added to the sound in the solos etc, the Boss thickens the sound where the LT is a little thin for my own taste. I'd quite like the LT's screen but when it comes down to it, I'd find the GT1000 much more to my style taste (I like a bit of drive in most of my patches). Very interesting video though Leo. Thankyou.

The sounds are quite good but to my messed up ears, nothing beats the sound and feel of a tube amp, like that Mesa Boogie (MK3?) you have pictured in the video. Then again, the GT-1000 is much much kinder to my back 😉

Boss Gt1000 is more authentic sounding and also can be tweaked to sound darker. His tone was a bit on the ice pick/super bright side, but I'd EQ it to be a bit darker, but man the tone is sick!!!

Have you gigged with it? How was it sound wise and feel wise?

@TheDilligan 3 года назад

@@glp046 It's great. Much better than the ME-80 I used previously. Sounds great out of a PA. I typically bring it to Open Mic Nights and plug into the house PA system, that way I don't risk ground loop problems or having to troubleshoot my analog pedalboard for a 15 minute set. And one time a guitarist came up to me was asking me how I got this great sound because he's struggling to sound that good with his tube amp. And at the time all I was using was the Fender Twin model and some spring reverb directly to a PA. As far as this vs the Helix though, they are both great and nobody will be able to hear the difference in a live setting. So it's just a matter of which you like more. I think the Boss Gt1000 sound more dynamic and closer to the real analog stuff I've ever tried. The screen is also more primitive, but for this reason it is easier to see in an outdoor setting than the helix screen. However the UI clearly isn't as user-friendly as the Helix. And the Helix has more effects. I think you've got everything you need on the GT1000, but Helix offers a lot more specific models. Like they have multiple flavors of the Big Muff, whereas the GT1000 has one big muff model and it just has a ton of editable parameters. One thing I'll say is that the CORE doesn't save you money. If you buy the core, you may find yourself needing an external expression pedal and a midi footwswitch. Due to its form factor, it's easier to incorporate with a larger pedalboard than the full size GT1000 is. But when you do that, you ultimately end up spending just as much money in the end. Core = Better for using on a pedalboard with other pedals. Full Size = Better for replacing your pedalboard entirely. Since the Core doesn't really offer enough switches for you to use it as a pedalboard replacement on its own, you really spend the same amount of money with either option.

I used Zoom 505, G9.2tt, ME80, GT100 and finally Helix floor and now i feel i would never have to upgrade or change after Helix. It is simply mindblowing. and UI is out unexplainably intuitiive and simple. Since i have used GT100(never GT1000), i can tell you that upto GT100 clean tones are brilliant but high gain is hopeless.

Great shootout video! Clean tone is similar but sounds slightly better on GT-1000 - a little fuller, though perhaps it could be matched on Helix by adding more bass EQ. Distortion is very different between them. With GT-1000 it's brighter, has more bite and a nice mid-tone. Helix is more smooth and mellow. My initial impression is that I prefer the Helix distortion, but there are things to like about both. I appreciate that you mentioned having a bit of personal bias, as that's important when making a recommendation. Very helpful, thanks!

Just what the doctor ordered.. :-) I was just thinking if the Boss GT-1000 may be an option for me. I still use my old GT-pro which sounds great used with tube power amp and cab as i do, the speaker emulation is not good though and i also wanted a pedal for gigs so that i can use just the pedal instead of having to bring a whole rig. I love Boss in general and the quality of their gear, but im definately unsure about the GT-1000. The clean was much better on the Boss and in general the sound of the Boss seemed more "High definition" and the Helix more grainy,. I also just use pretty much one sound for distorted and one for clean, so i also dont need a lot of amps, its just important that it is ones that i like. I agree about the Helix being to big and bulky/heavy, which is not great if you have to carry it and a couple of guitars to a gig, if you go by car it may be ok. Great video and playing as always !

Really? I was thinking I liked the sound of the GT1000 until the Helix came in and then I was like wow, that's the sound! What are we hearing differently? I'd really like to figure that out. I usually lean towards Boss, have a GT100 now and looking to possibly upgrade, thus me hitting this page. I hear the Helix as thicker and more in your face and the GT1000 as thinner but with greater clarity. Like the Helix is more amp-like and the GT1000 sounds like it's coming from the board.

@alvaroantonioocampogrey2823 4 года назад

Hi Leo, I realized I didn't watched this review before, the Gt 1000 doesn't necessarily sound like the real Marshall but has that saturation and detail on the high end that the Line 6 always miss (Helix sound seems nice but a little muddy sometimes). Considering the Pod Go didn't arrived to my country yet and that I really need to buy a pedalboard right now I think i'd better pay some extra cash for the Gt1000 ($1000 in my country). GT is way cheaper than the Helix LT ($1400) and at least in this video it clearly sounded better, more organic... It would be nice to know how do you compare the Boss with the great sounding Fractal FM3? Thanks for your guidance in all this journey on the pedalboard domain jajjaj your reviews were just what i needed and the demo songs always precise and amazing. Grazie mille! :'D

@LeoGibsonGtr 4 года назад

@alvaroantonioocampogrey2823 4 года назад

@@LeoGibsonGtr Oh, that would be perfect :'D, the new detailed format of the reviews would be precise in this case considering that the AIRD technology has that alleged impact on the dynamics and "feel" (in which realm the Fm3 looks like still remains to be the king jaj). Also, one representative effect for the reverb, delay, and od on each unit could be a nice addition to the table considering the legendary boss effects sounds and the Fractal professional usage in that regard (lots of bands with the Axe-Fx III only for the effects...) :'D. It's always difficult to avoid being biased but you are an awesome player (at least better and more creative than what I see in other popular guitarists-gear oriented channels). You have lots of experience and own lots of amps and effects (your top of the line Focal monitors also tells something about your listening "manners", audiophile detected? xD jaja) so don´t be too afraid of giving us more of your direct, honest and "subjective" opinion, I think many of us come here for that and will find it reliable as a connoisseur appreciation. But, of course always having first in hand our own ears for the tone decision. Have a great day, Leo! :'D.

@thetempleofsound 4 года назад

Great comparison, very helpful. I was very surprised to find the boss tone much better to my ears and I definitely like the smaller footprint. I have the Boss GT-1 I bought as a practice pedal I could take anywhere because it's small, cheap and can run on batteries, but I was surprised by how good it sounded and added it to my gigging rig. I have used boss pedals before without liking them that much but this new line sounds great. I also have a Variax guitar though and was curious if a Helix would be an upgrade along with syncing to the variax but after hearing this I don't think it would be worth it. I did try a Helix in a store for a bit and found the sound good but a little lacking in a way I couldn't quite put my finger on. But it is exactly what I am hearing again here so this comparison really helped clarify my hands on impression. Maybe with some more tweaking of the sounds the Helix sound could possibly sound better than the Boss because it seems to have a little more color in it but it sounds a bit weak vs the Boss which is definitely clearer and more punchy. Wonderful guitar playing by the way.

Dear Leo, thanks for that great of a comparison and your great intro song and artistic solos, woow!., the sounds could only convince me in one occassion with the Helix, the Boss was sounding better for me on most of the samples you provided, but that is me. Now changing parameter with a tablet (hope also android) is way better then fiddling into the menue..anyway most true is one need basically 4 different sounds ( amps) and a effectbank like dist on, rev on off, delay on off,maybe a mod on off..and a solo boost on and off..the cost is more than reasonable that is not the point...would it be possible to get that “scenario essentials“ not even with a smaller unit by maintaining the same ( nearly) quality of tone...( my gt 001 cannot, since i can only control 1 effect at a time by using a assigned Ev 5 pedal) In this case one would have a fully fledged pedal board but various amps and cabs..so you can practically play over amp, pa, active monitors or right into Pcs...cost is not main focus its practicallity, size, ease of use and..clear sound is a major key?? Thanks for sharing your modelling series Leo!

Hi thank you for your comment and your support! Well, if you want something smaller and lighter with good quality, in my opinion the GE 250 is a good option. Otherwise you can couple the IRIDIUM with some effects, or for instance with the Nux Cerberus...even-thought I'm not sure you are gonna get the same quality and flexibility of the GT 1000, which in my opinion is a good compromise between quality, flexibility, price and portability.
