- If you're looking for a really cool compact pedal for under $200 / £200 this is certainly worth considering... here's a brief overview of a few patches that I've created and played around with. I hope you get something from this. All the very best

hey Alex you are my favorite artist and guitar player in terms of using boss effects
Dude you could connect that guitar to anything and make it sound awesome! Thanks for your stellar musicianship and quality reviews. By the way Love My GT1 bought it a few years back and record with it all the time. Great Sound. Boss Gear Rocks and so do you!
The GT-1 has been around for quite a while now and it still amazes me as to how good it sounds (and how simple it is to operate.) I have considered picking one of these up for some time now.
Yes indeed mate. I would say good stuff always lasts... Deffo worth checking out. Thanks for watching 👍 🙏 🎸
The GT1 was my first "modeler" and I loved it - funny when I upgraded to the GT1000Core I went trying to find the same tones from the GT1
I have the GT-1 and still use it today! Awesome little unit and full of those great Boss algorithms. Thanks for sharing Alex! 🤘
I'm going for this
@@ezeechords3578 The GT-1 is an extremely capable unit in the right hands, I know several pro players who use them as their main unit for live use and recording, it amuses me beyond words as to how easily misunderstood and incorrectly set and used they are by most, they are not simply for beginners as implied I assure you, I've spent considerable time learning how to set them for professional use and I've placed mine under lock and key when live particularly because of my tweaks I've programmed personally within it's parameters, I put mine into an empty boutique head including a likewise very reputable combo amp and pulled the wool over the eyes of countless amp and tube-amp only users, they are extremely embarrassed for mocking them I can guarantee you, they are only presenting a rough ball park via their factory programmed presets is all.
I wish I was able to avail my personal presets, but I'm not willing to for any price because I've spent so much time on developing them to suit my stuff,
I use mine constantly and it's replaced all my amps and outboard units for a few years now, they really are mind-blowing when you learn their real full potential for live and recording purposes, I use mine with a Freq Out pedal when live via a Boss FA-1 ...it's murdering everything ...and I mean it! ✅
I literally just purchased the Boss GT-1 yesterday and received it today. It is so awesome! A band mate and I were looking at his pedal. He didn't know it had a looper and a drum machine. It's a cheaper one on Amazon. I WAS going to get that one but I saw this one available. I do like boss products, having even previously owned the Boss Katana 50 guitar amp. So I decided to spend a little more and the the GT-1. Noting that I have a drummer in this band, I'm not needing a drum machine so it was easy to make the choice. I am pleased!
Hello Al ole mate great to see you 😅 I’m still using mine, it’s a tone monster and always will be. Blessings brother 😊
Santa watches these videos this time of year.
Haha. I'm sure he does... I guess even Santa needs some inspiration for presents now and then..😂 👍 🙏 🎸
Wonderful review. Ty
I do a lot of gigs with a powered pa speaker pointing up at me like a wedge. Boss amp models are great for that. I never miss a real amp.
I love the way you play 🙏
Thank you mate 👍🎸🙏
I just bought one four months ago. Really like it. I've wanted an Axe-Fx for years, but $1000+ for a used one is too steep for me. I considered the Boss GX100, but then I found out about the GT-1 and a local music store had one so I bought it.
I’ve had a ton of multi effects units over the last 30 years or so, l got the GT1 about 7 months ago very impressed with it, l bought the Boss Cube LX last week l run the GT1 in stereo on the cube lovely sound and versatile for recording, All the best to you Alex in 2024
Awesome mate, glad you're getting the best out of it.. Super cool. HNY 👍 🎸 🙏
Amazing video as always alex! And just one question. Do you ever plan on bringing back the red dragon signature guitar? Its a sick looking guitar and would love to hear and see more of it!
I still have mine….still use it sometimes even though I have loads of sounds in Logic Pro Audio……nice to mix things up!
So good🎉
Alex - annoyingly good as always
Damn for the price you get some decent tone for sure.
The pedal is pretty good for the price but man, that guitar is fabulous, very versatile, and the of course the AH factor.
Very cool Alex! I'm curious to know how you're using your GT-1000. Are you using it for amp models, or just effects?
Yep, GT-1 is a great sounding unit. Never understand why it's often called a 'beginners' pedal... it can produce some great tones....
I’m almost ashamed to admit it, but I still enjoy my pocket pod thru headphones and even desktop speakers. It’s my go to for quick EVH and SRV preset tones at low volume.
Great for travel too.
These older devices are underrated.
Haha never be ashamed of your gear if it works for you then that's fantastic... Similarly I have a bunch of old stuff that just works... Years ago I had an old KORG pandoras box that's I spent hours and hours on... I loved it... Underrated indeed. Cheers for watching 👍 🙏 🎸
@@AlexHutchingsMusic I have a 1986 Korg DW8000 keyboard. I even kept the old Midi cords. I'm grateful that instruments weren't made companies like Apple or Microsoft or we'd be renewing our subscriptions and getting new cords every month.
Oh yeah man... pod xt hits the spot too. But the pocket pod, I'll just run my whole board into it, cleanish vox tone as a platform. Earbuds on, easy rig that sounds great and bothers no one!
Still sounds great. 👍
Cheers mate, glad you think so too 👍🎸🙏
These are the absolute bee's knees in the right hands when you learn how to find and set for the speaker/s...I've mastered mine to the point it's under lock and key....mindblowingly good unit!
Yeah man, such a cool little unit... Merry Christmas Mate 👍🎸🙏🎄
@@AlexHutchingsMusic You too mate, have a lovely one! you are a very excellent and fully honest ambassador for the great brand and have earned your gold medal in my book. 🎸🏆
Have a fantastic 2024 bud, it's great to be on the 'A' team.
Love the GT-1. I just wish they would do some updates with some new toys on it. Personally, I would love to have a the Boss slicer on the GT-1.
Played it live for a year and then went back to "real" amps. It has decent blues-tones but the distortions were a bit lackluster. Overall it's a good unit.
i plan on getting one son just for the delay/modulation/reverb as i love my boss pedals but dont feel like lugging around a whole pedal board and power system
Have you ever used a drum machine pedal just to jam along to, like the Beat Buddy or whatever? Is there a model you would recommend?
Still using mine at home, it's very convenient.
The magic is in the hands of the musician, not in the equipment. 🤘🏼
2:00 Excellent dynamic playing for sound demo
I love the straightforward layout and recognizable BOSS design of this item. As a Katana Artist owner these tones all sound very familiar to me and that's good bc I really like the stock BOSS sounds.
Yes! 👌❤️🇧🇷
I'm looking for budget one, and into this
I love this guitar... The best combination is: Blue ah6 and gt100 ... 😂😂😂 i be done it hahaha
I would like to see boss do a gx 10 where it’s like this maybe another switch that cost around here or maybe a little more.
thinking in buying a used one..question the looper does it have a undo/redo ...to take a loop off when you make a mistake instead of redoing it all over?
i currently use hotone ampero... but before to this had valeton gp200jr and boss gt1... i liked gt1 a lot and still miss that unit...
Yes the Boss GT1 & GT1B are still good on 2024
Top
👍 🙏 🎸
Still playing in GT-10.
BOSS has a thing ... none is really bad or totally odd ... even after being avail for centuries
Think DS-1, think MicroCube, JC-120, CE-... , MT-2 📢🌪, OD-1, ... sturdy little boxes lasting a musicians lifetime
Can boss gt1 be used as midi foot controller for pc apps like amplitube?
It's the player that makes the pedal sound like a guitar star. I wonder who that is
Can you use this as a stomp box for effects? Like instead of each switch switching presets with amps and ir’s, use each foot switch to just turn on separate effect pedals ?
Currently looking for a multi-effects unit to replace all my separate modulation/reverb/delay pedals and would love if I could use this instead.
You can, by using the buttons above the switches. You can assign you effects under distortion, delay, mod etc, and you can switch on/off by pushing these buttons. Think of the gt1 as a table effect more than a foot-controller.
@@jbjb9691 thank you !
May I know why you use beta57 microphone instead of the beta58 which is special designed for voice and vocal ?
GT1 or Nux mg30
Which one should I buy, please let me know, Love from India
How long does loop recording taking place?
parabens
yes it still is, i sold my g3xn and bought gt-1 because it is more reliable and convenient for me in live sets, easy to control and navigate and lightweight too.
Glad you think so too 👍🎸🙏
ALEX cadê estes timbres? manda pra nos irmão...obrigado
Gt1 indeed one of best budget multi fx in the market. But chinese brand like valeton/hotone/sonicake, nux, mooer etc should make Boss aware since those brands offer more feature than Gt1 does but at lower price. I think boss should upgrade the gt1 since it’s already around for almost a decade.
The Chinese units are mad green with envy to be perfectly honest of Boss units...they can't copy the GT-1's magic....they constantly try though....and yes I know the GT-1 is assembled in China too....they still can't rip it off or they'll be spanked very expensively if they even dare it!
GT5 🙋🏼♂️
is there a stepfilter on GT-1?
You'd need to be VERY specific in regard to your question, they are several aspects to how such operates in particular aspects/parameters likewise etc.
Hutchings guitar gang
Hahaha Cool MAn.... bring on the Hutchings crew 👍 🎸 🙏
I have gigged Mesa, Marshall, Helix, Vox, etc and this little fella is not far behind. I sold them but I still gig with the Boss. Put it through the PA. Go figure.
Yeah, they are mind-blowing for sure when used properly, not easy to figure out precisely how though.....mine slays everything for my style and stuff, grab an old FA-1 if able and put it at the end of the chain, but never run it into any conventional guitar amp.....stand back and be stunned and amazed.
Alex is the Gt1 as good as The ME-80 or 90??? Or do they both utilize the same voices??? Thanks mate! Merry Christmas Dana 💫🎄
Hey mate, The GT-1 is an older unit so not quite as fancy as the Me-90 but reflected in the price. Still an awesome little unit. 👍 🙏 🎸
@@AlexHutchingsMusic thanks Brother Alex!!! You rock!!!
ME80 or 90 ... The ME80 has the trusty COSM modelling, the ME90 got the modern "AIRD-Technologie (Augmented Impulse Response Dynamics)" ...
That's cheating.
Alex Hutchings make anything sounds great
Which is better the Boss GT1 or the NUX 30?
Boss GT-1 murders everything when you learn it's ability properly....and I honestly do mean everything! including the recent new Soldano Astro....FACT!
Murders in the sense? Good or bad?
@@LIKEFUNK
@@shivmehta1481 Good only!
The GT-1 must be something cos it can even make Alex sound good.
Only joking, you are among the cream.
Jeeeeeez, I wonder what else Mr.H has in his attic...😁
I want to go into his attic to have a nose....🎸😁🎸😁🎸😁🎸😁🎸
The gt1 had a looper?
Yes 30secs if I remember correctly
@@ey870 better than nothing 🤷♀️
its you alex the wizard, not the GT 1 !!
Can please somebody help my I don’t know where is the bypass
The bypass is in essence in I think 2 locations within it, can you please be more specific perhaps?
FIRST!!! I can’t make any of my effects sound like you do. I’m going with the fact that 99% of tone is in the fingers and my fingers definitely don’t work like yours… 😂😂😂
Hahaha, well mate, let's get those fingers moving, maybe with some more sweeps and improve your percentages... Just kidding, You always sound great mate...👍 🙏 🎸
@@AlexHutchingsMusic 🧹 🧹 🧹 I’m on it!!!
me envia uma gt 1 por favor
brasil
Pfff! 😤 Answer is so obvious! 😅
Is it worth it? U never answerd ur own question... what suppose to be the competitor to the gt-1 in 2024?
I bought one thinking it might make a good little ' Fly Rig '.... WRONG!... The sounds were absolutely garbage. I sent it back pronto!..
I had the gt 1 and sold it I have the new boss me 90 way better!
Excuse ,, does the me 90 have that freeze effect ??? I'm looking for a multi effects unit that has something like freeze effect in it
He could plug into a toilet and make it sound good.
