I purchased my GT-1000 about a year ago and am just now getting around to experimenting and learning how to use it. I've watched, and will continue to watch all the numerous videos demonstrating all the different ways of using it and setting it up to do different things. That said, this video is my go to video for now. Your articulation in all your descriptions on the use of this machine is perfect for me and it's easy to see why that "manual mode" is the way to go with this machine. Thank you Jack.
yeah, when it's used by someone like Jack who can really play 😆 But seriously, I've got a GT1000 for a while now, and the longer I have it the more I love it.
@@JackGardiner You too man an absolute pleasure, hope you're enjoying your home over there! If I land this mainland Europe tour I'll let you know, or if me and Jazz get up to anything! Hope you're well in general my guy take care
I sold my GT-100 for this because of the bass and guitar effects. Coming from a GT-100 user, this really is a huge step up. However, it's much more complicated than its predecesor
I`ve been using boss ME 80 for a while now and i just bought this one.The quality of sounds is absolutely amazing and its a maze of effects and amps .It will take a while to understand this but i`m totally digging it.Your video really helped me understand the basics as i bought a display model with no manual.
Great video, thanks Jack. It’s my second time back to watch it through its entirety. I learned something new, and will every time I watch this. Your knowledge and skill is inspirational and very motivating. You’re playing and talent is unprecedented. Thanks for sharing bro. 🙏👍
It's a Roland/Boss great keyboards great pedals ! Have an old 70's Chorus it's been stomped on 10 trillion times and it wont die ? Also Roland Keyboards are top notch ! A buddy had a Boss pedalboard that was flooded still works too ! I was heavy into synth programming back in the analog days and still have their first sampler also ! Enjoy your playing man !
Very good demo, by someone that can actually play!! I’ve just ordered one of these, I’m looking forward to it a bit more now I’ve watched your video. Thanks ✌🏽😎
I love this unit , I just wish it was a little easier to use some of the effects lol. I can recreate just about any pedal out there , it's just a major undertaking.at least to me . I'm used to turn a knob and go .
I wish I should’ve seen your video on this unit before I sold mind a year and a half ago, oh well maybe re-order and give it one last shot. Luv your patches, not super heavy hard rock, metal, very good rock sounds which I was trying to shot for but for some reason could never get it. But after watching your videos it is possible to get a good medium rock type sound. Boss are known to be very heavy metal type sounds and 80’s hard rock type. With what I do these days, I’m trying to shot for that Brian Adams rock sound with clean shred on solos and not so overly overdriven, somewhat the sound your getting when soloing on the bridge. Again thanks for your post, might give it another shot.
Great demo.. one suggestion.. Harmonizer should be after the Dist or even better after the Amp block,, so you can get stereo harmoniser panned L/R ❤️🙏🙏🙏
Hi Jack ! Question: I have the GT100...can you set it up "manual" (as a stomp box controller) and have one switch to call an existing patch rather than using an overdrive in the chain ?? If you can, I'm getting one, I couldn't get this done with my unit. Thanks for the review man !
Fantastic demo. You make it some phenomenal. You're a huge inspiration and would love to see you play live. Do you plan on any gigs or clinics in London this year? Thanks
@@JackGardiner Amazing. My birthday is in November so that would be a great bday present! I posted my interpretation of your piece Until Next Time on my Instagram (wgoodfellowguitar) last Saturday. I hope you like it if you do get a chance to check it out.
I've been using the GT-5 since 2000. I wasn't considering other effects pedals... ~there's so many things to consider about music now! is it gay~ everything gah~ So! i was looking at this synthesizer! moog one and i wanted it! to replace my Yamaha Motif XS 8 Workstation i was like wow it's really nice and so expensive i would have to get lost by my girlfriend to save for it. i keep thinking that now! everything i use is so out modeled... alesis HD24... microphones... bass... strings~ my skeletal framework nowl~ today i was looking at effects boards and have it narrowed to the boss GT-1000 and the Line 6 Helix which i noticed get's alot of approval i enjoyed your video! but! which one is perfect! i hear the GT-1000 has the better tonal quality to found in and around it what i am sacrificing like a chicken to moloch to forgive and forget every "thing" i've been hearing on the Helix nowdou? i want you to keep one thing straight on it in mind here now... i buy my talent! i put the money forth to make the grade here~ so that's exactly what i'm looking to do now. th-cam.com/video/iuzyA5gDa4E/w-d-xo.html
The harmonizer effect is distorting(not in a good way...) and sounding very muddy. You should try placing the respective effect block post-amp. You'll get a more realistic, cleaner result. Love the playing! 🔥🎸
Hey Jack, new subscriber here. Question? when running direct live, what are a few tweaks you personally make to your GT that we can benefit from? Are the Boss Tone Central Patches useful for live?
i really want to like the gt-1000; the very idea of using a boss board seems to be very attractive to me, as i am a 90s kid; but each time i hear a boss mfx, that's exactly what happens, it STILL sounds like the 90s. idk. it could be me, though.
Eko Transit I’m also not a fan of the stock “BOSS sound.” The reason I chose the GT-1000 over the competition is that AIRD legitimately makes it feel and respond like a real amp, and that’s not something you can dial in through EQs and IRs. That said, I did spend time dialing things in to my liking, and I’m now happier with my tones than I was with my Two-Rock and Morgan amps and a pedalboard of boutique pedals. The GT-1000 is definitely worth trying out in person to see if it’s for you.
Perhaps you can help.if I want to go into the manual mode, I need to kick down (Up Arrow + CTL1) to go into the manual mode. To do so sometimes I have to turn my foot at different angles, and if my foot isnt perfectly level, I could be pressing only the UP ARROW and changing the preset. Are you experiencing the same limitation on stage. Its no fun switching into an unexpected patch in the middle of a song. Think its possible to assign one controller switch to enter manual mode?
Hello my fellow tone enthusiast! Could you tell me how playing through this in your private jam sessions feels compared to one of your favorite amps? I’m thinking of ditching an amp I love in exchange for this setup. I ultimately get bored being stuck with a single amplifier, but at this time can’t quite afford to buy all kinds of amps. Your input would mean a lot. I’m considering a GT1000 with 2 of these frfr cabs. So long as it doesn’t sound like a storm of angry diarrhea, and it feels like genuine guitar amplification..What do you play through? Do you replace your amps with something?
@@rolandready3207 sorry to tell you but for the stuff that the 1000 is coming on the market with will never justify the difference in price, IMO. I have to wait to eventually go down in price to buy one. For now, it's just overpriced for what is offering. sure, IMO
Compared to the multiple renditions of the Helix that have had to come out over the years, this is the only one that I’ve seen simple downloading for, for the last two years as Boss actually listens to their customer base.
I just bought a Boss GT 6 off ebay, I'll bet anything it sounds just as good as this one. Don't waste your money. Modelling is not getting better and better
The biggest leap is the speaker emulation for sure, you can often get great sounds out of much older units, but that is usually through real guitar speakers, using IR´s will often make a big difference on many older units.
I feel you’re wrong there, as you have to physically try it in a music store, compared to others like a Helix, Headrush, or a Profiler. If you’re just going with your ear, and you’re on a budget, then I would agree with you. It really depends on the type of music you play, alone at home, or in front of an audience or band. If you feel it translates your playing style, and you’re motivated to create with it, then it’s perfect for you. I’ve been playing electric for over 30 years, and this is the most flexible system for any gig I could ever get, (weddings, bar bands, rock and funk, or jazz).
I purchased my GT-1000 about a year ago and am just now getting around to experimenting and learning how to use it.

All the manuals are available for download user manual, in depth parameter guide and GT1000 sounds saying what the factory patches are.

Just bought the GT1K Core today.
Stoked.
These sounds Amazeballs
Great tones and stellar playing!
Great to hear more of the jam from Instagram! Great tones, if you got the chops you got the tones with this!
Very good demo, by someone that can actually play!! I’ve just ordered one of these, I’m looking forward to it a bit more now I’ve watched your video. Thanks ✌🏽😎
Great review, great player. Nita Strauss, uses this box for her live shows. Lots of tone.
In the right hands this unit is amazing
Great video and great playing. Love the Vito Bratta guitar!
Thanks for this excellent video. Your focus on how it's controlled makes your review really different from the others!
Boutique amp patch was exquisite! Your playing is just phenomenal!
This is the best review I have seen, thank you for actually explaining how it works...
Dude you are essentially wicked! Haha, best demo of this I’ve seen. Thank you
Thanks Jack. Really appreciated your take on it. Wish you could have done one of these two years ago when it first came out.
Nice playing, I'll come back to wach it and learn 😉. Love the guitar 🎸 to .
Forget the pedalboard, I'm diggin' the shoes! (Well, maybe not forget the pedalboard, lol.) And the Andy Timmons tune you mentioned: "Electric Gypsy."
Hahah thanks man! The shoes are pretty funky! ;)
Thanks for the great video. Nice examples and beautiful playing. Oh and I loved the song in the intro.
I have the GT-100, looks like I might have to upgrade
I'm still using an SD1. I'm way behind the curve
I did! But still have my GT-100.
Awesome sounds and monster player!!
Great product review, Jack!
I love this unit , I just wish it was a little easier to use some of the effects lol. I can recreate just about any pedal out there , it's just a major undertaking.at least to me . I'm used to turn a knob and go .
I'm still using GT-10
Me too. Lol
me too 😂
Meanwhile I’m trying to get past gt6
Me too😂. Is the best metal sounds
And now?
I'm not much of a 80s shredder, 2 seconds later, shreds some wicked riffs.
As always, perfect video! Also digging the shoes boy!

Great demo! and great player!
And where can we get those Friedman IR's? Hint!!! lol
Great demo..

Hi Jack
could you share your EQ and monitors/FRFR you are using? also, your presets sound amazing!!
Sounds fantastic !! What are you playing through ? Amp or DAW ? Out on the road I use a Marshall jubilee combo !! Don’t sound as good as that !!
Hi Jack ! Question: I have the GT100...can you set it up "manual" (as a stomp box controller) and have one switch to call an existing patch rather than using an overdrive in the chain ?? If you can, I'm getting one, I couldn't get this done with my unit. Thanks for the review man !
Love my GTK ❤️🎸
Killer playing!
Is there any delay interrumption when you change between presets??
Are these patches available anywhere? Sound perfect! ps. Are these the same patches as available in the TONE STUDIO FOR GT1000?
Can you share these patches on the GT-1000 Facebook page please 🙏🏻
Fantastic demo. You make it some phenomenal. You're a huge inspiration and would love to see you play live. Do you plan on any gigs or clinics in London this year? Thanks

everything i use is so out modeled... alesis HD24... microphones... bass... strings~ my skeletal framework nowl~
today i was looking at effects boards and have it narrowed to the boss GT-1000 and the Line 6 Helix which i noticed get's alot of approval
i enjoyed your video!
but!
which one is perfect! i hear the GT-1000 has the better tonal quality to found in and around it
what i am sacrificing like a chicken to moloch to forgive and forget every "thing" i've been hearing on the Helix nowdou?
i want you to keep one thing straight on it in mind here now... i buy my talent! i put the money forth to make the grade here~ so that's exactly what i'm looking to do now.
th-cam.com/video/iuzyA5gDa4E/w-d-xo.html
I want one...👍🎸
Beautiful intro.
Any chance you could post your patches to the files of the gt1000 FB group?
awesome playing ! what was that song name you were playing during 15:38 -15:47 ?
WONG SIFU Andy Timmons - Electric Gypsy
hi mate ive subbed man...great channel! just wondered if you still use the gt 1000 ? im on the fence man...
great tones, any chance you could share that Friedman IR?
The harmonizer effect is distorting(not in a good way...) and sounding very muddy. You should try placing the respective effect block post-amp. You'll get a more realistic, cleaner result.
Love the playing! 🔥🎸
Thanks for the advice man! I hadn’t thought of that! Spot on.
Many thanks for the kind words too 🙏
@@JackGardiner What is the latest firmware update.

You can set up a different combo for manual mode, or get a separate boss foot switch switch that you can exclusively assign to that function. 👍
What ir are you using?

Could u share your preset?
Jack, what's the best power supply for the gt1000?
it comes with it.
I guess I meant power block
Hook it up using the 4 cable method, and your life will change forever.
que cables utilizas? saludos
Boss sent me only the unit but not with the shoes.
It sounds fantastic.. but man the Helix LT just seems so much easier to control on the fly.
Helix sounds sucks as compared to this been there done that.Thats why i returned helix and kept this one.
Hello from Philippines.. 😊 great demo! Can you please tweak a Greg Howe or Tom Quayle patch! Lot of gt1000 user will be happy.. 😍 thanks again!
I thought the gt1000 was obsolete.
Not seeing it around alot
No I see these units everywhere.
Compared to the multiple renditions of the Helix that have had to come out over the years, this is the only one that I’ve seen simple downloading for, for the last two years as Boss actually listens to their customer base.
Need to fix the intonation on that guitar! Sounds out of tune as you go up the neck.
Will it make me play like you lol
Hahah too kind mate! Hope you're well ;)
