Next Level Multi Effects: BOSS GX-100 [Product Demo] 

Danny is great!!

Currently seeking full pros & cons of this vs the flagship GT-1000👌

Great guitar, I love mine dearly.

That’s actually the exact sound I’m going for!

Thank you for watching, and follow up videos are planned as well. You can organize patches with the PC or App editor that will be available. You can swap patches around with the unit too, in the write menu.

Yeah. Testing the display features here and then putting them on the next version of the flagship Gt-1000 I bet.

If the pan is adjustable, couldn't you just centre the pan controls for both amps and it would effectively be in mono.

No sorry!

@@DannyUnderwood thank you

The amount of times I've fallen over balancing on an expression pedal IS TOO DARN HIGH.

This may be due to my inability to video a screen, please hold your judgements until you see it in person! :) Thanks for watching!

@@DannyUnderwood I have seen different reviewers who mentioned exactly the same issue, but you have a point. I’ll wait until I can try it.

Yes, my TA-15 also doesn't have FX loop. You will find distortion at the amp will ruin the sound of time effects. delay reverb. Works fine clean. I use an ME-80

Yes it would work, but you need to turn off the amp and cab modelling, as the amp that you are going to use already adds the proper coloration to your electric guitar sound, and then you would use the multi effect processor for effects only

We are working on a video for that. You would use an amp block and use the "transparent" model, which is basically just an EQ.

there are 20 assigns per patch, so technically 20 but likely 16 if you have the other 3 manual buttons assigned to a parameter

Yes! You have 20 total assigns, and they can all be assigned to the same function if you wish. And yes you can indeed turn things off too, depending on the current state of the on/off of the effect. For example if you have 2 effects overdrive and delay assigned to the same footswitch to control on/off. If the Delay is on, OD is off - pressing the switch will turn delay off, and OD on.

@@DannyUnderwood great, thanks for the reply Danny

Hey JEFF! A couple of reasons. 1. Many people don't actually use the editor, or app, including me! An editor is great but personally, I feel it takes me out of "the moment". So, we don't want to have people pay for a feature that they would never use. The Fender Micro indeed has Bluetooth and is inexpensive, but there are varying degrees of Bluetooth protocols, some of which have better performance and are able to both send audio and midi to an app - which the GX-100 and BT-DUAL are utilizing. 2. BOSS provides gear to musicians around the world, and there are many countries that have very strict Bluetooth restrictions, which make it very difficult to import these products to those countries. We want to make our products available to everyone in the world, hence this Bluetooth adapter.

GT-1000 and GT-1000core are going to stay as our flagship unit, but you never know, we are always listening to feedback. I love the MC-707 too, I play synths just as much as I play guitar. - though my little brain can't quite handle the rigors of demonstrating them! Hah!

In the most basic terms, yes.

Even better!

It’s sounds like you have a very discerning ear, I would recommend trying one in person - on a video you don’t get a feel of how dynamic and rich everything is. For me that is the “wow” moment, you strum a big chord and it feels good and has a chunk to it that many modellers don’t have.

It has a lot of variety, and some of the pre-sets are good. But they lack the feel of a true tube. I made a patch where the amps are in different channels, one is my my real Orange Micro Dark's Pre-amp section, and the other their Orange Clone, and while my real amp is still quite sensitive to pick up selection, volume setting, and picking strength, their Orange Clone had the same tone, regardless of pick up, volume setting, or picking strength. But they do have some nice. cleanish tones, acoustic guitar (better than my Boss Pocket GT), and most of the effects are decent for a $600 pedal.

IT can - I CAN'T! LOL.

This would be a what assigns do. Also keep in mind there is gapless preset switching so you could have a whole bank dedicated to one sound with different combinations of parameters different.

@@DannyUnderwood thanks for the reply. Essentially it won’t do what I need it to do. Boss should definitely look at implementing a variation of “snapshots” …. They have been out for years and assign just can’t compete.

​ @Guitars & Cadillacs I misunderstood what you were requesting, I apologize. Snapshots is a way to get gapless preset switching by having the blocks preloaded in DSP. GX-100 has gapless preset switching in ANY configuration by default - so if you create a patch and switch to another with the same effects (say a cloned patch with different settings, like a snapshot) you will not hear an audible gap in audio. If you DO have different blocks loaded, you will only hear the change in sound, not an actual drop in any audio of the preset changing. Snapshots are cool, but its a band aid feature and extra step to get around the fact that the DSP can't handle gapless switching which the GX-100 (and GT-1000) do. Is there any particular configuration you'd like me to test to double check? I've got one in front of me right now! :) Thanks for the message.

That's why exists line 6 helix

@@egalopes4404 not the pod go

I've come across a lot of stages that use their XLR channels for mics exclusively, and only offer the balanced 1/4" cables to guitarists. It's not many, but they are getting more and more common.

The GT-1000 has XLR outputs, and Long & McQuade sells some wonderful DI boxes!

Relax maybe mistake

I don't think at any point I lied, I said they share the same DNA which they do. I apologize if that did not come across clearly. The GT-1000 is still our best unit, hence the very different price points.

You're right! The GT-1000 is still our flagship unit. GX-100 has a few less features, and lacks 32 bit processing compared to the GX-100's 24 bit processing, and of course different price points. The "Next Level" is a different user interface via the touch screen. There are many that still prefer the workflow of the GT-1000 so these products will live in harmony together.

go watch glenn delaune's videos and get back.
