Congrats! welcome to the GT-1, your on the right track with it for sure, mine is under lock and key constantly, only a few can set them properly, I wish you all the best on your journey.
@@vruno182 Take you time reading the manual and experimenting with the GT-1, it's fully capable of delivering the tone/s most are still yearning to play with whether live or in recordings, they are better understood when used direct to a power-amp and full range 15' x 2 way cab or two....enjoy!!!..the factory presets are only to give an example, experiment with a few till you get accustomed to how to change or exchange them internally etc. Explore the link to the Tone Central and some freely available tones there will get you into the ballpark with sounds like you mentioned, you can personalise them further to suit your particular instrument and playing style/technique too.
I've had it for many years now and like all Boss products it's very reliable.. I get that some modulation effects are perhaps not as good as the more recent MD 200 and analog pedals, but the drives and reverbs sound very convincing.. The format also is just a perfect design for a board.. If there was a way to upgrade the firmware and/or chips and keep the chassis I would keep it forever..
Im back to the GT1 after owning it once and then moved "up" to the GT1OOO core and used that for a few years. I teally think the gt1 sounds better and the boss katana 100 mk2 sounds better than the core to my ears , maybe its just me and i like cheap tones over more expensive. But I sold the core and dobt miss it . Got myself a new PRS with the money from the sale 😁
I firmly believe that just because a piece of gear is cheap doesn’t mean it’s inferior to more expensive gear. It’s all in how one uses the gear…makes the most of it.
User error: the gt core has so much stuff hidden going on that is very easy miss on some settings...much probably you had to setup properly the output setting for the right device (amp in, return, PA, line, headphones) and also the preamp-cab since you have to disable the cab sim if you go thru a real cab.
Just bought one used for half the store price for the simplicity, small footprint, light weight, ease to pack and carry, and quality boss effects. I have a Boss Me-80, Zoom 9.2tt, Zoom G11, and three full pedalboards. All sound great yet all are a pain to transport or at risk getting trampled on a small/crowded stage. This solves those problems.
Been using GT-1 as a back-up rig, open jam rig, all band practices rig and small chicken-wing joints rig since it came out. I even bring it with me to other open jams as I love using the wah and like you, have it set up as small pedal board mode. Each switch for a different effect. What's cool is you can add an external switch ie FS-7 and it gives you two more switches to use or assign. Has the same engine as Boss GT-100 so you know the sounds are awesome. However, as you mentioned, amp models suck. Try using a IR loader with it. Thru a combo with edge-of-breakup...add GT-1 (minus amp sims) for extra drive, delay, univibe or phaser and wah...Dude, I'M in heaven :)
Yeah, I've seen a couple of vids about adding the FS7 switch. I just might as the 3 switches are great BUT...could use at least one more. I'm getting more familiar with the BOSS Tone Studio desktop editor. It's actually pretty useful. I've dialled in a "home studio" rig with a Preamp model. It's sounding good to me. But it's definitely time consuming to play around with Preamp and cab models to find something ear pleasing. So you use this at the Rockpile jam?
@@JoshGordonGuitar I have a few times but mainly I bought a cheap Pod500. More robust for jammers to stomp on. I like my GT1 too much for it to be used on a regular basis by others lol 😆
Nice! I have a Boss Pocket GT-1 and a Boss Katana Air, and I wanted to get a Boss GT-1 but I couldn't find one used, and there was a great deal on a Digitech RP360XP($85), and along with Boss products I also love Digitech products. I compared the Boss Pocket GT-1 with the Digitech RP360XP sounds and they were pretty close, the only thing I regret about the Digitech is that it doesn't run off batteries, but they did finally start using Boss/Roland style power supplies, so now I don't have to use a separate power supply, and I can stick the RP360XP on my pedal board and use the power supply I already have set up. I do wish the Digitech and the Boss would let you load your own IR's, not that the cabinets and amps they have already aren't any good, they are awesome, just I like the ones I have and I spent a lot of time and money getting them.
The Boss GT-1 is phenomenal, and a ridiculously great value in any year/decade/millennium and one really cool plus it has over many other amp modellers is it can run on four AA batteries and even the stock sounds are pure dynamite but then you go into Tone Central and you've got hundreds and hundreds of extra free presets from Steve Lukather, Marty Friedman, Gus G, Jack Thammarat, Herman Li so many more and you have a ton of killer pre amps amps and effects to choose from and mix and match and make and save your own...i absolutely love mine and have had it for going on two years now and the honeymoon phase never wore off, its that damn great!
Just got one and even though I don’t really play live, it looks like the same situation to me - I only care about its effects, and they all sound great. Even the fuzz and other distortion pedals are very usable I think.
The GT 1 is just a great unit , I use it for effects only in the loop of my JVM since I like the sound of the amp. I find all (or at least 90%)of the available effects very usable + once you get your head wrapped around all the functions - and there are plenty - it’s so easy to set up basically any sound you could probably want , sure newer modelers probably have better sounding Amp sims and IRs and what not but I really don’t care for all of that that stuff , I just want a solid unit that does what it’s supposed to do and doesn’t break the bank
I used a GT-1 + SY-300 as my main rig for years; I was able to blend guitar and synth, or play either independently. Worked great for a small, compact, versatile rig. There are better and smaller choices today IMO
@@pennyscissors8385 I have a Helix Floor now, and the SY-1000 so I no longer use the GT-1. I'd recommend having a look at the HX-Stomp and see if it works for you; I thought of getting one just to pair with my SY-300 to keep the rig smaller...and may still do that.
Thanks for making this video. I've been wondering how one would sound plugged into the front of a Fender tube amp. Looking for an all in one unit now that I'm getting my Hot Rod DeVille 212 back up and going. Not interested in amp models or cab simulators, I just want to use the effects through the front of the amp on the clean channel. If I dive into it enough I might run through the fx loop in time.
I bought mine in 2018 for quiet practice in my tiny apartment in L.A., and ended-up using it to record with a lot. It’s amazing. My tone-snob friends think I’m miking my amps, so it fools people.
I’ve never had this problem. Try contacting BOSS customer service. Or perhaps see if there’s a TH-cam video on how to fix it. Don’t know what else to suggest.
Great little review . Im after my first multi effects processor. Like alot plus the boss support you get too. Would you reccomend as a first step for someone loke me ? Many thanks. Great playing btw ! 👏🎸🤘
Hi, I using Boss GT-1 from last 5 years almost, it's a great product, but recently I facing some issues with this product, when I am changing the tone the display is not working, showing "System error" (2,1). I don't know why it's happening! Can you tell me why it's happening?
nice content and i have the GT1, i m using it as stand alone using garage band and audio interface. Do you know any link which i can set, example playing music using backing track with P03 Natural Clean and i want to change to P35 Power Drive and change again to P57 Chorus Lead. Is there any shortcut where i can just press a switch to any of those Preset Patch List rather without interuppting my play. Or please advice me. Thanks
My experience with the GT-1 is limited. But what I would suggest is to copy each preset and put them in the same preset bank so that you could easily switch between them during the song.
I think I would need to do a video to show all the settings. But on the Hot Rod I set the Treble, Middle, Bass, and Presence each to around 6. And I use the full stack amp setting on the GT1 output. Hope this helps.
Check out what else it's capable of too, these are only the factory settings being demoed in this...they can shake the house too if ever needed and slay or at minimum go toe to toe with ANY boutique amp rig regardless of tube or not included....learn to tame the dragon. it takes time but the rewards are quite frankly breathless with the right cab and weapon of choice attached. th-cam.com/video/doKoxK6lu2c/w-d-xo.html
They aren’t factory settings. I quickly dialed in some tones I liked and hit record on my phone . I’m definitely going to dive more into this unit as I agree that it’s capable of so much more. Why spend big $ on the higher end units when the is one works just fine, right? 🤘
@@JoshGordonGuitar Yes Bro, they actually really are in my view one of the best secrets being kept under wraps in the hunt for 'the tone' ...I hate doing this, but here's another tone master using a different rig that I've played along with at serious volume in a right environment to test the GT-1 alongside it, I can't pick it and neither can a few others in my circle....you are going to love the contraption!!! th-cam.com/video/IOo7aJKJw9s/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgyUQXxVoZuvR_N2ld54AaABAg.A1XXXojI2K3A1ddle17jjB
Well, I don't use the GT1 that much. However, I plan on digging into it much more and doing some videos for it. I will keep a high gain sustaining lead preset in mind for a future video.

So many affordable or even older units can be tweaked to be very workable, or even good. 👍
I just did a solo gig with it last night! I can't live without it!
Hi can it be use for standalone ampless setup or it needs another pedal like boss ir-2 or something similar?
@@paolo-1283 You can use it standalone or with an amp. I would recommend an amp though!

The GT1 is pretty straight forward and gives great tones :)
Does this modeler have the boss x- modded, x-crunch, and x-high gain amp models in it
How many modulations can you stack at the same time?
For example can you make a patch with comp>phaser>distortion>Harmonizer>chorus>delay?
The unit has a FX1/COMP button, FX2/MOD button and a DELAY button. So I'd say 3 is probably the most you can stack.
@@JoshGordonGuitar thanks a lot
