How To Make A Stereo Rig - GT1000 CORE 

That’s amazing. 😊 Glad you’re finding the videos useful.

@@DaveWebbMusic Hey, how did you figure this out? I kept looking for videos or some instruction but no luck! Thanks again, I'll likely have some questions you could answer in a video!

From memory I think it was trial and error. I wanted my rig in stereo so tried a few different things until I realised what was going on & figured it out. I was the same, couldn’t find any information which is why I did the video.

I’ll keep them coming. Thanks!

Hey man. Hope you’re well. Think of mono like your using an amp and a cab, just like the good ol’ days. As an example, in a 2 guitar line up, one guy on each side in mono just makes sense. Stereo these days is so much easier to achieve. In an at home setup it’s really cool hearing those stereo effects and wide guitars. Really helps it feel like you’re “in the sound”. I use stereo in my band because it’s only 1 guitar and I want things to sound bigger, so I spread things and have some effects in stereo. It can get complicated, but experiment and try things out because it can sound really freaking cool and is fun! Another way of using stereo is a wet/dry rig. Which is basically dry on one side, effects on the other. Either spread, or blended together. This type of thing gets tricky, I don’t do it much because I’m still getting myself up to speed. Haha I’ll add a tap tempo vid to my ‘to do’ list and hopefully get it done for ya asap.

Yeah IR slots are limited, and a hassle to load. Personally I’m beginning to use the in built cab sims more anyway.

@@DaveWebbMusic I don't mean that. That's another irritation entirely :) I mean if I want to connect my amp in 4cm and send a feed to FOH with a cab sim; Boss makes this almost impossible with how they handle speaker emulation. It should be an IR/cab block that is movable and not tied to the amp block. Boss cabs are my favorite IRs to use with anything. They did good in that regard to my ears.

Oh I see. I haven’t tried doing 4cm with the GT yet, and certainly haven’t attempted this.

​@@TrumpetsInMy4x12 that scenario is very possible. I have a few presets setup exactly like that. Maybe you're on an older version, I got my unit recently and it's on the latest firmware.

And my nails look awesome!

I sure did. You need the stereo outputs in order to get it wide.

How interesting. Do you use 2 amps, or just the one? I do encounter some imbalance occasionally, and I’m sure one ear is worse than the other, but I haven’t had to do that. Yet…

@DaveWebbMusic I use one amp in some presets! In my acoustic preset I don't use an amp! So if I put spread 0-20 when I play by my own I think its ok! The strange thing is when I put music to play with my preset, the sound is unbalanced,and in live situation with band also, I hear it from one ear louder! When I put the spread to 50 when I play alone or with music, the balance right left is ok but with a tiny problem! If you play RHYTHM, you will feel the latency from one ear,if you play straight chords or arpegio slow will not notice!!!Strange thinks my friend!!I have also hx stomp and i make the same trick with delay and the sound its ok in both ears balanced

Hey Tom. From what I can tell, it’s totally doable. The GT1000 Core can use the SEND as a sub out, so that would be your mono stage send, mains output stereo to FOH. This obviously means you lose your FX loop though. The full GT1000 has a few more options.

I use X-Mod amp, but I don’t remember the Overdrive I used in the Distortion block 🤔 it would have been either the T-Scream, Blues Drive, or X-OD. I now use an actual overdrive in the FX loop. Either an SD-1 or a Blues Driver, depending on the patch. 🤘🏼

@@DaveWebbMusic oh great, thank you so much, you have a great effect !!!

I’m sure I do… I think this is one of my normal rigs that I tweaked for this video. I do have a pack available on my store. The tones in there are very much on the same line as this one. davewebbmusic.com/products/gt-1000-gig-pack

You can get audio over usb

Thanks for your comments man! The split for me serves a purpose at the moment, and I do quite enjoy it. I think there could still be some tweaking to be done, that’s half the fun right! Downsizing to a digital unit is so ridiculously practical! I also have a couple of real amps that I use, but I haven’t gigged them for years. Personally, the feel of the Boss GT Core is why I use it the most of anything.

You can still do this using the mono output. Using the spread feature would just add a different effect to it but wouldn’t add any width. Would be a great way to blend 2 different cabs together.

You got me questioning myself, so I just tried it out but what I am doing is correct. With the cabs in the divider, I’m not sure what is happening but it sounds like the direct level from the amp is still there, and the cabs don’t respond correctly. However with them after the divider, I turned the left mix down so I’m only hearing the right side, and changed the cab on the left. If it was a blend (faux stereo) there would be a change in the audio, but there isn’t. Same thing the other way as well. So from what I can tell, it is routed so that left goes to the left main out, right goes to the right main out.

@@DaveWebbMusic It's kind of frustrating that the behaviors of the cabs and the stereo stuff isn't super straight forward isn't it. I wish boss made this more intuitive. You're probably right, since you tested it. But I think a more intuitive way is to put them in the divider and then drag the L and R outputs to each path in the divider. Like the L on the top and R on the bottom or vice versa.

I agree with you that it isn’t very straight forward. It took me a while to understand it to the point where I am at. Your comment actually inspired me to do a video about this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xw_Sg9TcBNQ.html I am in no way trying to be a douche, just made me realise that the info isn’t very clear, so just trying to clear things up. Check it out, hopefully you’ll be able to see/hear what I’m talking about.

@@DaveWebbMusic Oh cool! I'm glad I could be the inspiration for a video of yours haha. Hopefully boss takes note of these things and makes it a bit more straight forward in future updates.

I just use the lines out of the back. In this case into my interface which then records into my DAW.

George what is the purpose if someone has to go through all that? Reminds me of the old mortal combat blood code!

@@MrJJ-ir9ew the unit sound like really shit a special in metal so i found the tone make this unit shine but the way he explained in the vedio it's wrong so if you have the same boss gt 1000 core you will be not happy👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
