L&M @ NAMM 2017: Boss GT-1 [Product Demo] 

Thanks Andrew, These patches and more are available here: www.guitarfxpatches.com

People who bash on digital stuff are just individuals with buyer's remorse after spending $2000 on a rig that a $200 device can almost reproduce. 1 month later. I change my mind... Analog all the way

question, can i use other pedals with it?

@@haydens465 you cannot. You can only use an expression pedal which there is a port for it in the back

@@SpectorEuro4 so i couldn’t use my Boss CS3 comp with it?

@@haydens465 Nope. But the pedal already has a boss compressor in it. Digital that is.

Ditto!

Thanks!

Thanks mate, I have more "Tone Design" videos on my youtube channel and more patches here: www.guitarfxpatches.com

Couldn't agree more!

Happy to hear you enjoyed it!

Question!!! Please answer!! So I have a GT-1. I currently just play in my room and record on my PC. But is it possible to play with a drummer and bassist with that Headrush frfr108, and also can it handle small gigs? Nothing too over the top professional, but just humble small-medium gigs?

I was done watching after that lol Not really but it was definitely spot on.

Agreed. To date this is still one of our favourite product demonstrations we've ever seen.

We hope you enjoy it!

Awesome, congrats we hope you enjoy it!

My dude i just bought one a minute ago after watching this shit

Nice work!

Thanks Rick!

Rick Harrison is it possible to download patches from gt100 to it?

Hi Eli, using Tone Studio you can download GT-100 patches from the library and most seem to work OK (mixed results). The GT-1 will just ignore data it can't use such as the GT-100's second pre-amp etc so you might need to fine-tune the GT-100 patches to your liking. In the library, most patches have the GT-1 Easy Edit equivalent listed which is just three numbers to dial up using the control knobs. Some of the Easy Edits get surprisingly close too! Rick.

Rick Harrison thanks for information.so when you are saying it's working ok, it means same quality :) just limited options?

Yes Joseph, that's right... certainly the quality of the GT-1's output is as good as anything out there at any price! (IMO). But when loading GT-100 patches, due to the difference in some design features, you may have to tweak them a little to get them to sound the way you want.

I'd love to get hold of some of those tones, or even the easy edit info to dial them in?

Josh’s GT-1 patches are available on BOSS Tone Central. Here’s the link: bosstonecentral.com/liveset/detail/classic_patches_by_josh_munday/ However Josh's patches demonstrated in this video are not yet available, but they will be available soon on BOSS Tone Central.

I'm aware of the "old" patches on Tone Central, but thanks anyway :-) I'll be looking forward to seeing the patches demonstrated in the video.

You can buy the patches on Josh's site - guitarfxpatches.com

Hi Mate, These patches and more are available here: www.guitarfxpatches.com

Hi Daniel, As long as the guys at Long & McQuade are ok with me posting this, you can get my patch at the link below: www.guitarfxpatches.com/downloads/gt-1-comfortable-lead-style-comfortably-numb-pink-floyd/

Hi Kanishka, I've done exactly what you've asked on my youtube channel. In this playlist I've done 5 Tone Design Segments. Check them out here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FGn8ZFS8MEM.html

Joshua Munday thanks.. I've seen those videos. Pls make the tutorial for sweet child o mine and crazy train. Pls pls... Thanks!!

We hope +Joshua Munday will be uploading his tones to the BOSS Tone Central soon at bosstonecentral.com/liveset/detail/classic_patches_by_josh_munday/ and will be posting an update here when they're available.

Hi Martin, These patches and more are available here: www.guitarfxpatches.com

@@joshuamundaymusicthis is not working anymore

SRV is a tough one Reid... I've done a tone design segment on my youtube channel to show how I got to it..but I kinda agree with you...

@@joshuamundaymusic i think it's close but it needs more overdrive/punch to it and that fat/round tubey sound :)

There are no banks and no manual mode in the GT-1, so to switch patches you'd have to scroll through them. The ideal way to set it up would be in the order of your setlist, the same way Josh did in this demo. Every tone change would be set up in the next patch, so all you'd have to do is step on the up button every time you want to switch your tone. With proper planning before your gig, there's no second-guessing or tap dancing on the board to get your tones. Another way would be to "fake" banks. You might have the first patch as Song 1 Clean, the second patch as Song 1 Drive, and then switch up and down back and forth between those for the song's verses and choruses. Each patch also has a modifier that can be turned on and off with the CTL1 button, and each patch can have a unique setting for the expression pedal. So you can essentially have 4 different sounds per patch - just the bare patch, the patch with CTL1 activated, the patch with the expression effect brought in, and the patch with both CTL1 and expression effects. So if each song in your setlist has 2 patches dedicated to it, then you can have up to 8 tones per song, and every tone for that song is only 1 or 2 taps away.

He manually tweaked each one and saved them as custom presets. A lot of the tones demonstrated in this video (and many more mimicing the artists' tones you mentioned!) can be downloaded from Boss Tone Central.

So do a lot of people! But it takes some time to tweak it exactly to your tastes, so if you put the effort in, the payoff is huge!

These were all custom built by Josh and some are available for download here: bosstonecentral.com/liveset/detail/classic_patches_by_josh_munday/

There are some (not all) patches available for download from BOSS Tone Central. bosstonecentral.com/liveset/detail/classic_patches_by_josh_munday/

Thank you!!!

He used the whammy effect and the expression pedal on the GT-1.

It'd work just fine, but the Blackstar ID: Core 20 has its own digital FX built into the amp, so for the best results try not to overdo it by stacking effects or amp models on top of eachother. That is, we'd recommend you choose as clean/neutral sound on the amp as possible and have most of the effects and models come from the GT-1.

Thanks Idan. Glad you enjoyed them. Josh.

Joshua Munday hi josh can you please send some of those settings i have a boss gt 1 liked your apache setting and stevie ray fender_adam@yahoo.com is my adress thanks much apricated

Josh’s GT-1 patches are available on BOSS Tone Central. Here’s the link: bosstonecentral.com/liveset/detail/classic_patches_by_josh_munday/ However Josh's patches demonstrated in this video are not yet available, but they will be available soon on BOSS Tone Central.

Joshua Munday How to tone. Great tones!!

No, none of these are factory settings. These patches do not come loaded on the GT-1 by default. There are plenty other videos on RU-vid to show the default patches. The purpose of this video was to showcase how closely the GT-1 can match tones of famous riffs after spending a little time customizing the patches. Some of Josh’s GT-1 patches are available on BOSS Tone Central. Here’s the link: bosstonecentral.com/liveset/detail/classic_patches_by_josh_munday/

Correct, no XLR outs but it still has stereo 1/4" outs.

These were all custom tone patches built by the demonstrator. The purpose is to show off what the GT-1 is capable of when time is taken to carefully set up custom patches.

No lo haces. Sí se puede, pero no es nada practico, si estas en vivo, siempre, siempre tienes que tener tus efectos lo más cercanos posible y ordenados para el set que tocarás. Tengo la misma y es lo que yo hago. Todos los efectos tienen que estar ordenados por canción, al menos en esta configuración sin agregar nada más. Saludos

No the tones demonstrated in this video are not default presets included with the unit. They were custom-created by Joshua (the presenter) in order to showcase what's possible with the GT-1 after spending a little time tweaking and perfecting tones of popular songs. There are lots of other demos on the internet that showcase the included presets, so we wanted this demo to be a bit different from the others. Josh’s GT-1 patches are available on BOSS Tone Central. Here’s the link: bosstonecentral.com/liveset/detail/classic_patches_by_josh_munday/

Absolutely!

Hi Roman, we're glad to hear you're liking your GT-1! Josh's presets are not yet available on BOSS Tone Central, but when they are uploaded, they will be available here: bosstonecentral.com/liveset/detail/classic_patches_by_josh_munday/

Hi Ibnu, These patches and more are available here: www.guitarfxpatches.com

No these presets were custom built by Josh. They're available from Boss Tone Central. bosstonecentral.com/

Absolutely. Connect the RC-30 after the GT-1 for the looper to record the tones and effects coming out of the GT-1. Or, connect the RC-30 before the GT-1 to record your loops clean and then alter the effects applied to the loop in real time on the GT-1.

Yes. The GT-10 was a great unit in its time, but it was originally released about 13 years ago. The GT-1 is about 10 years newer than the GT-10, and there have been a lot of advancements in digital modeling technology in the past 10 years. The form factor and tweakability might have been reduced from the GT-10 to the GT-1, but the latest-generation sound engine and presets would make the GT-1 sound much better than the GT-10.

Yes, although none of the patches used in this demonstration are default presets. These are all custom-made patches by the presenter Joshua Munday, which are available for download here: bosstonecentral.com/liveset/detail/classic_patches_by_josh_munday/ The goal of this demonstration wasn't to showcase the default patches, because Boss already has official videos on those tones plus many other RU-vid videos out there. This demo was to show off what is possible with some custom tweaks and how closely you can match classic tones with the GT-1.

All user presets.

Apache by The Shadows

These are all custom-built patches by Josh. You can visit his page on Boss Tone Central. bosstonecentral.com/liveset/detail/classic_patches_by_josh_munday/

No, none of the patches here are presets found on the Boss GT-1. These are all custom-created presets made by the presenter Joshua Monday to showcase what the GT-1 is capable of when you take the time to dial in a custom patch, not necessarily the patches that come built-in from the factory.

How do I get the patch he created for More Than a Feeling at 2:28?

No backing tracks are included with the GT-1. This is a performance using the GT-1, and the backing track is a medley put together by Josh for the sake of this performance and demonstration.

@@longandmcquade Thanks for the quick response.
