Well done Leo! That was a very precise and well done comparison!
Thank you Franky, really appreciated!!!!
Waiting my boss! Thx for video! Take care!
Hi Ivan, you are welcome!!!
Great comparison and demo song. I have been a Line 6 user for many years, but I actually liked the tones you got out of the Boss in this video. God bless and rock on 😎👍🎸
Thank you, your support and feedback is really important for me!!!
Amazing video, man!!! Thanks. Cheers.

Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion!
Questo canale è oro Leo! Grazie!
Ciao Marco, grazie a te! Mi fa molto piacere che ti piaccia!!!
@@LeoGibsonGtr ANCHE A ME MI PIACE! BEL LAVORO MITICO
I love my Helix Floor for all its ins and outs too..I would still love to get the BOSS GT1000 CORE as a small home alternative.BOSS have that long legacy and even their cheapest multieffects over the years have a loveability.I even preferred a ME70 to ME80 so it is just about response and heft and useability.
But really, the best thing about your fantastic videos is your wonderful playing.You are a great musician.Well done, Leo !
Thank you so much...your feedback and support is very important for me and when you like my playing and my music...I'm super happy!!!
Thank you also for sharing your opinion and experience!
Everything is just so in sync its impressive!
Thank you!
Before I even think about the comparison I noticed that your video-editing evolved a lot - bling, bling... :D
Thank you!!! actually video after video I try to learn something more...😊
Congrats for this content man, great comparison and video. I think the GT-1000CORE sound more cleaner, organic and natural!!!! All the best.
Thank you, I'm super happy you like the video! Thank you also for sharing your opinion!
Exactly the comparison I was looking for. Love your channel! Which one would you pick to run a bunch of pedals into and use as an amp? Thanks for the awesome content!
Hi Daniel, with pedal I would get the Core, as it requires less power and I would be able to use just one power brick.
Thank you for your message!
I agree with you. The signal chain options are great with the Boss. I am looking to simplify my gear (need another JMP-1? Kidding, I would not part with mine) and for my everyday situation including recording the Boss seems to be a much better and space saving solution. Ideally I want to just have one unit I can record directly with, be it to my Tascam DP-32 or to my Laptop.
I also like the amp sounds of the Boss more than the HX Stomp. Thanks for comparing the two units, I was looking for a comparison like that. Your playing is great.
You have gained another subscriber.
Hi, thank you so much, your sub really means a lot to me! Thank you also for sharing your opinion and experience!
Grazie Leo, ottima comparazione che mi ha portato ad acquistare il BOSS e ne sono molto soddisfatto.
Grazie a te!!! I'm very happy to have been of some help!!!
Thanks again!
Thanks a lot. I´m very interested in this competition.
You are welcome, I'm happy that you found this video interesting!!
@@LeoGibsonGtr さん
I'm waiting for NUX MG30, LOL.
The lack of the Balanced outputs in the Boss wouldn't be a problem because in a professional situation we always use Direct Boxes to send the signal to the main Mixer 🙂🎸
Great demo by the way!! As always!!
Hi Carlos, thank you for sharing your opinion and I'm happy you like the demo!
yeah i wouldn't trust the balanced outs of the hx on long run with dirty stage power , always use a quality transformer isolated external di
"In a professional situation".
Whatever that means. I do not know about the Boss, but the Line 6 Helix/HX devices work as DIs on their own. I guess the Boss does the same (in this case minus balancing the signal).
I use a 1/4" to a XLR male cable then into our Dante' box on stage. I have absolutely no issue running that way. Of course, it's not running through a 100' snake, either. It's all ethernet.
@@AlistairMaxwell77 which one would you recommend?
Who are you man? Professional level chops with exotic styles. Awesome editing and visual effects. And of course the Italian(?) accent. You are quite unique and super helpful.
Thank you, your compliments and appreciation really mean a lot to me! As regards the nationality, I've promised that I will reveal it as soon as I will get 10k subs (if ever)...:)
@@LeoGibsonGtr wherever you're from it sure as hell isn't this planet, super chops!
@@LeoGibsonGtr come no ! italiano, two hundred % sure :D
@@NeonCowell Thank you Ian!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Switzerland! Maybe.
Thanks for your review
I purchased the gt 1000 yesterday, its the best pedal ive ever used. I used the sounds straight out the box really nice machine.
Although im not someone who is very good at programming in different tones, hopefully ill get there in the end.
Honestly ive always been big on organic sounds straight from the amp with a direct signal, But this GT 1000 is quite a nice piece of kit. You could have lots of fun with that
Equally im sure you could do the same on some of these other units. But the one I got is the Boss and I was pleasantly surprised, Enjoy
Thank you Gregory...interesting experience!
@@LeoGibsonGtr great playin geez wish I had you here to help me get this baby set up to the max 🎸🙏👍😎
Thanks for this really well done review! If you would have to choose one for making jazz clean tones(Fender like), which would you pick? Which one amp simulation do you prefer???
Have a nice day!!!! From Chile.
Hi, you are welcome, and I'm happy that you like the video!
Well, both modellers are good for clean amp simulations...therefore for me they would be both ok for playing some jazz.
Thank you for your question!
Nice review once again, thanks ,I prefered the sound of the GT1000 , it felt more vibrant to me ,and 23 amps is more than enough if the modelisations are good .
I have a suggestion , It would be cool and informative if you included some high gain amps in your comparisons , cheers.
Hi, thank you really appreciated, thank you also for sharing your opinion and for your suggestion!
Thanks foe the video Leo, I own he HX Stomp, but I found the GT with a little bit more “in your face sound”. Cheers.
Thank you, really appreciated! Thank you also for sharing your opinion!!!
Great video, thanks Leo! Folks considering the GT-1000 core should be aware that the 24 blocks isn’t 24 of whatever you want (Boss marketing materials don’t make that clear, though it is clear in the manual). For example, four blocks are dedicated to delay, but are only of one type of delay (they can’t be switched to the many cool types of delays in the unit). This may be fine for many players, but if you are a person who wants a lot of freedom to experiment (as I’m doing with ambient sounds) you may want to read the GT-1000 core manual to understand how the 24 works before buying it. I found it a bit inflexible for my intended use. In a similar price range, I am looking into the Line 6 HX effects (different than the HX stomp Leo covered in this video-it has up to 9 blocks depending on DSP load of what effects are in use, but no amp models) as an alternative.
Bought a GT1000core to replace my strymon timeline , bogner la grange , and Tu3W on my board, i think this one is one of the best solution for ampless rig!
Hi, thank you for sharing! Interesting...
I liked the video for the studio alone! ;)
😊....I love my studio....😊
A very good video! I think that Boss Core sounds slightly better, and could be my favorite choice for recording, as i love to record two different signal paths of the same part. For live playing, maybe i'll choose the new Pod Go, 'cause it has more switch and the sound should be similar to the hx stomp. Greetings from Italy!
Thank you Lorenzo, both for the compliments and for sharing your opinion!!!
Thanks a lot for the cool video.I'm also torn between the HX Stomp and the GT-1000Core, but there are still a few things I wasn't able to find the information I'm looking for. Maybe you can help? I'm wondering how the 2 compare in terms of how well the harmonizer tracks (especially for the higher register of 6-String Bass), on the HX Stomp it seems to work quite nicely (so I heard). I've had some not so good experiences with Boss harmonizers back in the day. Did you try to program custom scales on the units, how well does that work? I'm also wondering about AUX IN on the GT, the handbooks says that you can use the loops as AUX IN. I'd really like to connect my cell phone to the unit, mainly for practice. Sorry for the many questions, but you seem to be very knowledgeable with both of these units :D
Great playing!
Thank you!!!
great video! thanks. I have the Boss GT1000. But I think they both sound alike and you can dial in more or less the same sounds on both units.
You are welcome and I'm really happy that you like the video!
Thank you also for sharing your findings!
Hello Leo, great video as always. Love your style. Hard to tell which unit I like best... I would need only two or there great amps and many many many fx. Which one would be best for me? Thanks!
Hi, thank you!!!
Well the Boss has less amps but a more flexible fx signal chain...
Nice review Leo!!I would like an effects comparison also though..Not just the amps..Delays, reverbs and modulation!Looking forward for you to get your Neural DSP Quad Cortex and putting it to the test with these units!!Be well!!!
Thank you George, appreciated!!! Yes, I'm in the waiting list for the Cortex...I will for sure do some video comparisons!!!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Looking forward to everything you do!!Cheers!!
Thank you George!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Awesome demo as usual I’m thinking the overall tone goes to the Boss. Besides, you can always use a direct box for the front of the house.
Thank you Phil, really appreciated! Thank you also for sharing your opinion!
Nice comparison
Thank you, really appreciated!!!
This comparison was super helpful. I’m looking at the Boss GT1000 Core or possibly the MS3 to replace a Digitech RP360XP and tri parallel mixer, especially the MS3 can handle the routing mixing that the Tri Mic currently does for me. I’m wondering if the specific routing on the GT1000 Core is recalled on a preset basis. I’d love to be able to use it where some patches would use the sends and returns differently, in some cases not send while receiving and not necessarily receive when sending. The idea being I could use the sends as a splitter and the returns as a sub mixer which is basically how I use the tri mix in my setup
I love the accent 😁 good video.
Thank you, I'm happy that you like the video!!!
Boss is on another level imo. Great demo
Thank you for sharing your opinion and I'm happy that you like the song!
Nice comparison! I think that amps in the Boss sound better.
Thank you! Thank you also for sharing your opinion!
This is the best comparison video yet. I have the HX stomp on my live/fly board and was thinking about the GT1000C as a way of having tonal options in the studio with other drives - food for thought!
Thank you Tom, really appreciated!!! Thank you also for sharing your opinion and experience!
The GT1000 sounds more open in the treble-frequencies. The helix relies more on the middle frequencies. It's hard to tell which would sound better within a band.
Hi, I do agree...pretty hard to tell. thank you for your message and for sharing your opinion!
I must say thats irrelevant cause you can dial in the tone to match both units...
Hello Leo, many thanks for your great video, very interesting and informative!
I have a couple of questione regarding the missing balanced outs on the Boss (which is a real shame, I agree with you...):
- what is your opinion by sending the Boss L/R outs signal to a good stereo passive DI box ? Of course I understand that it would be an extra cost to consider, and an extra cable connections/space on the pedalbord, but in my opinion the Boss could be really unbeatable this way...
- also, what do think about using a stomp preamp. (which often has included a DI out) to be connected after the Boss L/R outs ? (I mean in substitution of a “pure” DI box).
Many thanks for your answer!
Hi Roberto, thank you!
Well, I don't have too much experience with DI boxes. Nevertheless, I will try to answer.
> sending LR to a DI box: I think it would work, nevertheless for sure you need very short cable to connect the DI Box and you need a very good DI box that does not color the sound
> Stomp preamp: I'm not convinced by the stomp preamp, as it would color the sound, and you are gonna loose the stereo out, unless you use two of them or a stereo one...
In my opinion another solution would be to put 2 cab simulators after the GT 1000 (like a cab M) so that other than adding the XLR out, you are also adding mics, cabs, etc. I mean you adding value to this solution and you are not using it only as a DI...of course you are gonna spend more money...
Thank you!
Hi Leo, good video. Thanks for your careful work, with competence and passion. Just a small question: is there a bank up / bank down in the core Gt 1000?
Have a good time.
Hello from Italy.
Thank you, really appreciated! Your feedbacks are super important for me!
Having only 3 foot-switches I don't think there are banks. You can go up and down by one preset with the left and center switch....as far as I know. If someone has better info, please drop us a message here!
Thank you!
Thanks Leo, very kind !! I don't understand Boss's choice but the unit looks very powerful and versatile. Now i'm owner of Mooer Ge 300, but his fx section don't like me very much: in your opinion boss and hx stomp are more better?
Thank you again!!
Bye
Great review Leo. ‘Grande’. Ive used both at the same time, and ended up selling my HX stomp. I prefer the tonality of the GT1000Core over the HX. I prefer having more presets that i can then modify vs more amps. Its worth mentioning that it did take some work getting the out balance on the GT1000 to reduce hissing when I first set it up on an amp. (Two rock studio sig + Boogie Fillmore) un Saluto dal Canada

You did a good job! Excellent comparison! Very detailed! You HELPED Me a lot!! Thanks
Hi, thank you so much for letting me know, I'm really happy to have been of some help!!!
The amp comparisons were very different. The boss always sounding brighter with more presence. I am thinking about pairing my Strymon Iridium with an HX stomp for a very compact setup.
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion and experience!
Great Video, I have been looking at upgrading to one of these, Ive tried a GT1000 core, but not the HX stomp. But I decided to go with th HX stomp, ordered it yesterday. It's great to have such a detailed video. Basically I think whichever you go for you won't be disappointed.
Thank you, I'm happy to have been of some help!!!
Hello Leo, thanks a ton for the comparison! Would you come to the same conclusions about the Pod Go vs the GT1000CORE? I'm mostly interested to be used at home.
Hi, yes for home use I think I would come to the same conclusion also with the POD GO.
Thank you for your question!
You really let loose on that track! Awesome tune and licks. I think both units (while different) actually sound great. They both are so darn small. I agree with your '2 cents' opinions. Still leaning toward the Boss myself. I have been struggling with a decision between the Boss Core or the Pod Go. I really like those extra foot switches on the Pod go (and the pedal.) With the Core I like the ability to create a parallel "dual" amp path, and all those great effects. Still undecided ... and still going crazy !!
Thank you David, really appreciated!! Thank you also for sharing you opinion!
I'm currently trying to make the same decision too, what did you end up deciding?
@@dragonmaster9577 Truthfully I am still a bit confused but am leaning toward the 1000 Core, if I get a line 6 product it will be the Pod go, for ease of use.
@@davidwoods358 Yeah I'm just as confused, I don't know which one I like better LOL
Amazing
Thank you so much!!!
Since the HX stomp has balanced outs, I’d have to go with that for live application. It sounded more processed though, the Boss sounded more realistic.
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion!
Great video.. listening to the comparisons in the 'more sounds' section the GT boss sounds in a different class. Still not sure whether its better to focus on getting the most out of your pedals rather than be overwhelmed with choices and effects. My El Capistan is challenging enough!
Thank you, really appreciated! Thank you also for sharing your opinion!
The GT-1000 blows the stomp away IMO. You can run all 24 effects blocks at the same time and switch to a completely different preset with no latency. No need for snapshots and you can have way more complicated signal paths and effects running. Dual amps. Parallel signal chains within parallel signal chains… it’s ridiculous what you can do. Totally blows the stomp away
Hi Johnny, thank you for sharing! Yes, the signal chain is much more powerful in the GT1k....
I've got the HX Stomp, and it sounds brilliant. I'm sure you could dial in identical sounds on either one if you fiddled enough, but the 24 blocks vs 8 is a massive advantage. Also the footswitch arrangements: hitting 2 buttons together to get the tuner on the boss, vs one dedicated tuner button on the stomp is another win for the boss, I think. When you only have 3 foot switches, flexibility is vital. I'm hoping Line 6 might bring out something the same size with a bigger screen and a lot more processing power. The DSP in the Stomp is getting quite dated now.
Dual amp is key advantage for Boss GT-1000
Same, I traded my Helix Lt for a Gx100

Complimenti vivissimi
Grazie mille, i tuoi complimenti mi fanno veramente piacere! Tipicamente uso l'alternata.
Un saluto!
Thanks for such an entertaining and informative comparison your playing and technical knowledge is top notch.
I have one question regarding the Core, how does it perform in four-cable-method with a valve amplifier? I purchased an HX Stomp and while the unit was great with a set of headphones or with FRFR powered speakers it seemed to rob volume and high end frequency from my signal in 4CM. Which was a shame because I couldn't justify the price if I wasn't going to sell off most of my pedals. I can see why so many people love it for recording or silent stage use though and it was clear that 4CM was not a focus for Line 6.
I haven't seen much discussion of the Core in 4CM and I really hope Boss put their experience as pedal manufacturers to use.
Hi, I didn't notice differences in the 4CM. As far as I know the 4CM also heavily depends on the quality of the effect loop of the amp, that could drain some tone if it is not of an high quality.
Thank you for your question!
@@LeoGibsonGtr thanks for the response, Leo. I honestly must plead to ignorance on the quality of the FX loop in my amplifier. I use a Mesa Boogie Mark V:35 combo, and I'm hoping that as a Mesa it's a quality set up, the manual says it is valve driven buffered and I've never noticed any tonal difference using my more traditional time based effects pedals.
@@SuicideVan If your amp loop section is powered by a dedicated tube, it will sound good with no loss of quality..If your amp runs a digital board to power the effect loop, you would loose some quality but it doesnt mean that its sound bad..just a bit of loss in presence...But bare in mind in both Amp situations, in 4 cable method you are using lots of lond cables that will make you loose some quality...
I play bass. The task arose to make sure that the processed bass guitar signal (EQ, compressor, amplifier, cabsim) goes to one channel, and effects based on the same signal go to the other channel (EQ, compressor, harmonization with a separate pedal, synthesizer with a separate pedal, amplifier, reverb, delay, cabsim). That is, in addition to the bass part, you can fill the space between the bass and the lead guitar with some additional sounds. And only the boss is good for this, because the stomp simply doesn't have enough blocks to do it all at the same time.
Hi, interesting! Thank you for sharing!
What's the name of the demo sound? Simply genious
Roland vs Yamaha : "FIGHT!" 💪
😊👍🏻
I think the boss sounds a bit more “direct” but currently in the uk, hi stomp = £399 and get core = £599 so I would definitely go for the stomp
Hi, thank you for sharing you opinion and the UK prices of the two units!
Hi Leo. Can the Boss Gt1000 Core audio output become muddy with so many effects in the chain? How many effects do you recommend in the chain on this unit? Thanks
Hi, well I don't use many effects. Typically I use overdrives, chorus delay and reverb. It is really a matter of taste, you can get pretty unusual sounds using many effects, that I would not define as muddy: you may like it or not, but for me, in some cases and for some songs or genres, they could be pretty useful.
Thank you for your question!
I had a Line6...for a week. Didn't like it at all. Got the Boss GT 1000 core now, love it!
Hi thank you for sharing your opinion and experience...pretty interesting!
talking tone comparison mostly I assume?
Just returned a Stomp. Waiting for a Core to come as an exchange.
Tone on the Stomp was genuinely very good. I just couldn't get on with the different modes (stomp, preset, bank etc) and how difficult it is to switch between them without additional pedals.
Hoping the double switch shortcuts on the Core to jump to manual mode will work better for me.
A little concerned about the low number of amp models but usability is a big thing!
@@jamescarroll89 so tone wise what do you prefer? i feel the core sounds more digital..maybe because its 'clearer' than the stomp??
@@p10rambo, sound wise I think I preferred the Stomp. There's a much wider selection of amps too which is nice.
Thanks, appreciate this well done and comprehensive comparison, however, still not made up my mind, also looking at the Mooer Preamp Live... 🤔
Hi Frank, I'm happy that you enjoyed the video!!! yes, it is an hard decision...take your time...and if you want, please tell us what you finally decide...it could hepl other guitarists to choose!
Thank you!
Don't buy the Mooer preamp live, mine stopped working after 15 months and Mooer offers zero out of warranty support to get it fixed.
Really good video, I picked the HX in the end :-)
Thank you, I'm happy that you like the video!!! Thank you also for sharing your final decision!
Sold my hx stomp for boss gt1000 core. IT'S Much better!
Thank you for sharing...very useful info from who has tried both!
Hi! The Line 6 is operating in 24bit /48 kHz, but not in 192 kHz, where from did you get this value? The dynamic and sound density of the BOSS is way better in my opinion.
I checked them both - but i´m only a bass player ;-)
I hate yt algorithm for not showing this channel until now.
Thank you Tony, really appreciated!!!! This is a great compliment!!!
I agree.
Thank you!!!
If the Boss’ outputs are buffered, which they probably are, there’s not much need for balanced outputs.
Hey Leo, od comparison!
About the power on hxstomp, this is not actually 3A but is more hovering about 1A with potential spikes up to 1,4... definitely more hungry than the core but easily powered by other supplies like cioks, or better mission engineerings 529M or HC with a battery pack.
Very enjoyable video.
Thank you Alec!
Thank you for the info, let me just say that in the manual and in the back of the HX, near the plug, it is written 3A....quite strange...
Thank you for your message!
@@LeoGibsonGtr very true the supply itself was made well before the stomp came out and in fact supplies up to 3A. I’d meant to say good comparison by the way but was typing on the move. So yeah, you’ll find vids where it is measured as low as 800mA but that can also be misleading. In optimal temperatures it may settle on that amount but in higher heat or humidity it’ll run quite a bit hotter. I agree with your review fully. You’ve done a great job on this video mate.
Thank you Alec, your compliments are really important for me! Great info also!

Hi, these are V60. thank you
@@LeoGibsonGtr nice thanks 👌
You are welcome!!!
Hey Leo, did you used the same IRs for both?Man I think Boss Sounds better Line 6 interface is great and the easy use of it but the boss sounds more nature more horminic reach to my ear. To me Line 6 have a certain mid focus freq that makes it to sound small and the highs are not pleasant.
Great Review Leo thanks so much for your review great as always!!!!
Thank you Jonathan, your appreciation is really important for me!!! In this video I've not used IRs, but just the internal cabs.
Thank you for your message!
Yes, I think the same. GT1000 soundds mkre "glorious"
Great video, I think the Boss sounds better to my ear
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion!
Both units are really great, finally “money talks” and the price is better on the HX Stomp
Hi Erick, thank you for sharing your opinion! Yes, money are an important factor to take into consideration!
that's weird, in Australia the hx stomp is more expensive
Спасибо! Thanks!
you are welcome!!!
It would seem that running three paths on the boss with different mic placement on each would give the most realistic sound, and the Boss sounded better in the demo.
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion!
Thank you for the nice video.
I want to love the hx stomp since it is more compact, easy interface and cheaper than boss, but i kinda like the tones of core. Very hard to decide.
Do I miss out a lot if i go with the core in terms of practicality?
Hi, you are welcome!
May I ask you what you mean with practicality?
Using live in general
Well, you have only 3 foot-switches and that could be a limitation for live use. The core is missing XLR/balanced outs in comparison with the HX. Balanced out could be useful if you need to run long cable (for instance from the pedalboard to the mixer).
Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtr i appreciate your reply. Many thanks
ive got both core and helix rack . the helix is more immediate ,presets sound ready to go. but the sounds can be a bit flat and 1 dimensional , pushed in the mids and lacking depth . but loud and punch through the mix well . this mid focus is why modern metal kinds love it I think . also its strange the way it allocates and runs out of dsp , your building patches and suddenly your stuck with 3 reverb choices because something else stole the dsp . the boss if richer , deeper , more detailed and more low/low mid information . more efx blocks and importantly everything that's there is there and everything can be turned on at once . seamless patch changing as well . but its presets suck and the learning curve is steeper . you have to tweak it and work and make your own sounds . either is great , all the modellers are great these days but i feel like the core rewards a bit more if you put the time and effort in while stomp hits the wall of its capabilities quicker , especially the stomp which is half a normal helix
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion and experience! Interesting points...
Nice to see the both units. Please make reviews on Zoomg5n 😊🙏❤ have been waiting for it so long
Hi, thank you! Well, the problem is that I don't have the zoom and I have to buy it with my own money...so, I need a very good second hand occasion.
Thank you for your message!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Ohh I see, Its ok! I hope some day you would definitely make a review on it.. will wait for it 😊🙏❤
Thank you for you patience!
Well, to me, basic tone is everything - anything else can be "fixed" by DI Boxes etc. One big question I have is that with aging eyes which screen is easiest in real world use? By that I mean as opposed to kneeling on the floor at home trying to figure it out up close?
Thanks for the great comparison, as someone else said it provides real food for thought. Pete.
Hi Pete, thank you so much and I'm happy that you like the video! Good point about the screen and the aging eyes....maybe that's the reason why I typically use the compute app...with big screens....
Thank you!
As always a great video. Actually I think both sound great. The HX Stomp was nice with only the Plexi, but when the GT 1000 Core had an additional TS 808 it sounded also great in the Demo Song and better than the Line6 in my Opinion.
Hi Dennis, thank you so much...I'm really happy that you like the video!
Thank you also for sharing your opinion! ... overdrives effects in the modelers are pretty important...sooner or later I need to do a video about them....
I have both and hate both… but love to have them.
Hi, thank you for sharing!
I own the GT-1000 and it does sound digital and fizzy on some amp models. You can hear it on this demo. It's still dragging along a little of that cocked wah sound from the GT-10 and GT-100. I think it can be tamed with a little knowledge of how to set up the output, eq and ir's. In this video the Line 6 Stomp sounded a little more natural but I think it has to do with voicing because it didn't sound like a true plexi either, just a good less shrill distortiion. It was still digital sounding too but not as much in the higher register like the Boss. I have heard that the feel of the Boss is more like playing a tube amp, but I really want to try a Helix LT and compare. Just like it's predecessors, the GT-1000 effects are great! The distortions, and overdrives sound more true and natural than the amp models. Hopefully Boss will update the amp models as technology gets better. The Core and Stomp are kinds pricey for such a small pedal with so few foot switches. Go for the full size GT-1000 or the Helix LT, especially if a multi-effects unit is going to be your main rig. I have owned the GT-8, GT-10, GT-100 and the GT-1000 and have had fun with them all. The GT--1000 is like the GT-100 but with the blanket taken off the speaker as it does sound more hi-fi. I think either unit in this video will work and sound fine though, especially if just being used for effects using the 4-cable method into a nice tube amp.
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinions and experiences...interesting...
JamminJman, I currently have the Boss GT-10 and always felt a little disappointed in the clarity of the sound because of the cocked wah effect. I also noticed that it was present even when everything in the signal chain was turned off. The difference became apparent when I plugged my guitar directly into an audio interface vs. through the GT-10 and then into the interface. That being said, did you think the GT-1000 was a huge upgrade from the GT-10?
@@albertlee5439 It's way better than the GT-10. They aren't even in the same league. I have been learning more about this thing and with some patience it can be programmed to get some amazing tone. I have it running through a PA Amp and 2 old Genz Benz 1x12 guitar cabinets, so the tone is getting colored by that. I want to get a FRFR speaker and see how clear it will sound in comparison.
Hi Leo Could you please tell me if you need a DI box to run the Boss GT 1000 Core into a stage mixer? Thank you.
Hi, you don't need it as far as I know.
Thank you!
I have a boss GT 100. Having either of these how do you access so many different sounds with on the fly with only a couple of stomp buttons?
Hi, yes, this is a limitation. But you can overcome this issue with an external midi controller.
Thank you for your message!
very difficult to choose...i wish if hx stomp had more fx blocks like gt 1k core...as a metal player i'll lean more towards hx stomp..beautiful intro instrumental playing n brilliant note selection as always
Hi, thank you for the compliments and for sharing your opinion!!!
I know is not a lot, but the upcoming 3.0 update for the Helix will allow Stomp user to use 2 more blocks.
Hi, thank you, very useful info!
@@digoutyourMUSEsoul that'll be great..it'll be wonderful if line 6 comes up with an amp profiling technology like kemper,bias amp2 n mooer mnrs tech...line 6 will be unstoppable
Hi Leo, thanks. In case you know: I am trying a boss gtcore 1000 - is it correct that you cannot have two completely separate paths for the input R and the input L? Like, two different instruments plugged with two separate paths? I don't see how to separate them through he divider
Hi Rossella, good question...I'm not completely sure...but you should be able to do it using the send/return object in the signal chain and then using as an input for your instruments the returns of the GT 1000 core.
Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtr thanks! It is possibile in the Ampero for instance - to have two separate chains at the very beginning
I'm pretty sure that the Ampero Stomp II manages two independent signal chains. Not sure, but the regular Ampero manages only one signal chain. Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtr yes the Ampero II stomp has two Independent signal chains :) in the end I still prefer the boss gt1000 core for my needs
Yes, it's a powerful unit!
I would love to see you review a Mod Devices Dwarf!
Thank you Gene...I will ask if they can send me a unit to test...
Thank you for your suggestion
I played the hx stomp and was just so blown away by it. Used a deluxe reverb cab and amp sim along with several effects and it sounds better than my own rig. I think for at least the hx stomp if you want a certain sound you can get but does a take a lot of tweaking but that's part of the fun
Hi, thank you for sharing your opinion and experience!
Great playing Leo! I really prefer the line 6, sounds much more real
Thank you, I'm really happy that you have appreciated the playing!!! Thank you also for sharing your opinion!
Did Line 6 purposely remove the adjustable A. I. R. settings in the HX Stomp as some sort of cost cutter?
the HX thing sounds really good too
Thank you for your message!
One important thing Leo : what do you think about the ease of use of the GT core without the apps ? Is it easy to modify during a rehearsal without apps or computer ? I clearly prefer the sound of the Boss but the easy of use of the Boss seems not-so-good compared to the Helix
Hi, well, in terms of easiness the BOSS is not the best option...I think. The app, that you can use live, helps a lot...
Thank you for your question!
I prefer the Boss GT but the line6 is very good as well.
