This pedal is very sophisticated, the A.I.R.D technology is very natural feeling and of course, it wouldn’t be a BOSS product without being 100% customisable!

I have serious nostalgia for the Boss ME50
the ME-50? you young whipper snapper. I remember when the ME-5 was out around the same time as the RP-1. omg, I'm old.
I had an ME-5 when it was in the music shops I think it listed for 600 bucks or something. I wish I had never gotten rid of it. Analog distortion digital effects., not sure why they don't do that anymore.
@@FunknGrvn me too...I think it was $700 when my dad bought it for me
still my fav after 20 years.
8:18 I didn't notice the background music until this point. I love that jam so much, I always come back to it when I want my jaw to drop. Great demo!
For anyone who is interested, I have just started using my GT1000 thru two BOSS Nextone stage amps using 7 cable method and the pedal is finally sounding like it should. The latest update adds the nextone stage as an AIRD output option and it sounds incredible and feels just as good. Tons of grunt, I can't wait to get them cranked on stage, it's a pretty killer rig now. Not ultra cheap but for a pro player it's well worth it IMO. Also the nextone is a pretty decent amp on its own and can be tweaked and customized to sound and feel real good. Highly recommend giving this setup a go if you are a tone hound, it just works.
Seeing that 5150 and 5150 II still in your arsenal brings a smile to my face. It gets a lot of hate, but one of the best high gain amps of all time.
Bloody Hell, Rabea. The blue lights and room treatment make your place look like a strip club! Get a couple of Hughes & Kettners in there and you're sorted.
JDODify well with all the sexy stuff in that room who wouldnt think its a strip club
Yoshi does it have to be?
Hughes & Heffners
😁😁😁
😂😂😂😂
First tone. Straight in.
Credit card exploded, again. 🤘🏻😂
I got a gt1000 and it's fantastic.
The main thing here is that the presets actually sound great. The Helix has absurdly bad presets and takes ages to learn how to get the right sound from it. I was a big fan of the boss MS3 when I used it for gigging. Boss has super good effects and drives.
I run Helix pre-amp models through a Fryette Power Station into a Marshall 2536A cab. Can you take the cab sims and power stage off of the presets?
Yes you can
Thanks man
I never thought I would say this, but....that Boss multi sounds pretty good.
AIRD > COSM and it isn't even close.
UPDATE 03/28/2023: revisiting this vid as I'm considering a floor unit and.........I think this unit sounds better than all of the competition. Yes, all of it.
The semi-rigid effects structure is a little annoying.....but I think I can work with it.
@@pontiacpower421 shit i.... Shit out, no matter what gear u have, if ur shit ur shit no matter how expensive gear, not even a valve amp will save u
Very informative and straightforward. Thank you Rabea!
Hi Rabea, thanks for being the only reviewer if this pedal who has been able to explain how to seperate different sims to different sides. Its simple once you know... I knew it had to be easy. Should have tried that myself 😆 tried everything else!! I regard you as the go to guy for gear reviews and info. thanks again
I am not crazy about the amp models, but the fx are amazing. I purchased this rather than a Boss ES-8 switcher and a few Boss 500 series pedals.
I bought the GT CORE😊
Im so stoked
I've got one of those ME 50s and even that old box is full of wonderful tones, became a boss fan in weeks!
I think this is the best demo of the GT-1000 so far and Rabea makes it also sound great... should I buy perhaps... thank you Rabea - would you be gigging with it yourself? Of course to my mortal soul and abilities I think this would suffice.
Awesome video as per usual! Do you think you'll be making a video at some point going into detail about your recording studio, equipment and how you record songs etc? Loving the content!
Can I turn off the internal cab and connect my own into the GT-1000?
Not sure I'm ready to jump back into multi FX but you describe it well and exciting!
I had the Boss gt100 and it was probably the the easiest to operate, and I’ve owned several other floor units, now I haven’t actually tried the new boss Katana stuff or this unit, but my main gripe about the gt100 was it sounded kinda sterile as compared to the Hd500, so I did end up selling it and buying a Hd500x but I have simply grown tired of the way the editing works, I’m the kinda guy who likes to do all the editing on the unit itself,
I think I’d really like to try this unit, seems kinda pricey for a couple hundred more I can get the Ax8 used so idk 😐
From what I hear, it sounds approx. 500x better than the Line6 Helix. UI surely is better on the Helix.
Christoph K. Agreed. Helix sounds awful. These actually sound like legit fx and not artificial like line 6 garbage. Wish the interface was better. But then again, how often am I looking at the interface when playing a gig.
Thank you! You're a great teacher!
I hope boss will add a profiling features on their next GT for amps and guitars like the mooer and improve screen layouts
Hey Rabea, big fan! Quick question. I've been trying to find some information regarding effect spill over between patch changing. In your time with the unit, did you come to discover this as a function?
just like mixing a song you gotta work with it, a few db cut boosts and q, this unit will do well in the studio, live you got no say over the venue or engineer, trick is get a pa speaker jbl maybe and tweak against a live drummer, then feed out from the stage, all good
Thank you
Hey bea! Great demo as always :) since you‘re using the helix in your band with Leo and now got your hands on the GT-1000: whats your favorite product? The helix lt is a bit cheaper than the GT-1000 - do you think its worth the money? (Even though this vid is sponsored by Boss, just want to hear your personal preference)
Keep it up :)
Hello! I want to ask 2 things about GT-1000.
First, Im rarely using the bluetooth function, but yesterday when i was practising and I wanted to use metronome, i was trying to control the metronome via bluetooth and i coulnt see any choice that you could control it, even turn it on or off. Im the only one that cant use the metronome via bluetooth or its not an option at GT-1000?
Second, Its really weird for me that i cant store 2 patches with different output select. For most of my patches i use the "Recording" OUTPUT, however I really love the cleans of the JC-120 with the output of JC-120 return (its a lot different than when i have the output on "recording") , but seems that i cant store it, as when i change the outpout , it goes for all the patches.. Is it strange that such expensive unit doesnt have this function or I am doing something wrong?
Wow! BOSS have been doing some serious homework. This thing sounds fantastic.
I might have to go ty one out sometime 👍
Great stuff as always....i too have the gt-1000 but if i can give a request......im considering getting the victory v4 kraken and as you have both the gt-1000 and the v4 kraken is it possible for you to do a video on how to incorporate the v4 kraken into the gt-1000 with frfr or the Seymour powerstage?...would be much appreciated 👌...keep up the fantastic work.
Nice sound boss GT - 1000
What you say @ the beginning is not really correct coz the curent Boss AIRD tEk is heritated from the good old COSM being arounf 4 ages (as you said) but Fractal N Line 6 (kind of) have developed as well this technology of "Analog Circuitry Object Modelling" which basically try to create pieces of codes to recreate the sonic impact of each analog components embedded into a classic amp or a stompbox ...in order to recreate from scratch N not from the final result the accurate tone of any real circuitry amp or analog effects ...so Boss has been 4 sure the very pioneer of this approach of modelling BUT is not alone right now on this ...Fractal with its AXE FX modelers is actually the most advanced in this approach N that's why all the "Real Pros" buy their stuffs
Can you reverse the loop on the GT 1000 during playback?
I'm using a BOSS GT-001 and I'd love a video about tips for mixing virtual guitars, making some of them sound less compressed and more open, anyone know any such videos?
Have you put your own presets up on boss tone central or can we download them from your website? I'd love to get those!
The change of parameters assign to exp pedal... Have one error, you cannot change or switch a fx on a exact Act-rng-lo or hi value. If you want change a fx on heel and back with pedal the change "Always Switch in the Middle of Exp pedal" 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
which one would you prefer the helix or the boss ... Ampsoundwise?
SUPR ROCKIN 😊🎉
Are you going to do a video with your new guitar?
BOSS GT1000 has a noise gate system for OVER DRIVE EFFECTS with guitars of singles pickups?
I like this.
wow thanks
Im happy to stick with my Gt100 ^_^ (+ my Zoom G9 in dual multiFX rig)
I dont see such huges improvements on that one
The Gt100 has two big screens which make it so cool to use without hooking up on a PC
Of course the ToneStudio editor is a really top notch piece of software
The design of the Gt100 is more part of the Boss signature than this new one (more on the Helix side)
@@johang.5776 Simply because you dont know how to tweak your signal chain o_O (as most of folks out there)
You just rely on a single piece of gear N your R expecting that it will deliver by itself a killa tone straight out of the box ...it's just impossible m@n even with the most expensive units because it is digital simulations...
That's why professionals use the expression 'coz it is a succession of gears which will create one by one your personal tone ...the Gt100 is no exception !! (as other pieces of equipment)
If you R aiming for the sound of a particular real amp ...just buy the real amp ^^ (N break up the bank)
If you want a "palette/range" of mythic guitar amp/pedals/cabs/N such which sounds really close to the originals in a easy to carry or small format (N ways more cheaper) just get a cool multiFX unit +++ It is so simple +++
Rabea - How do I route this using two amps that each have their own effects loops and channel switching? Also, Drive effects I would use after the output in the rear I’m assuming? Not concerned with the amps or drives in the unit.
What's the whammy effect like? Does it tune down or up without artefacts and good tracking?
Rabea, I have rented the GT1000 twice and each time I haven't found the amp models flexible enough to cover a wide range of music. All the digital multieffects seem to be focused on high gain where lots of mistakes can be covered up . There is no attempt to cover low to medium jangle and crunch sounds convincingly . And even with Heavy OD, the sound is always harsh. I have used tons of eq cuttoffs which never rid the sound of the annoying fizz. Also, boss hasnt provided an output selection for FRFR powered and running through headrush monitors is as bad as Helix, Headrush and to a lesser extent AX8. Is there any real convincing Digital multi effects out there or coming up?
I know I can set this up to run some effects in front of my amp and some in my camp's effects loop. In another patch, can I bypass my preamp and run the Boss's amp models? I love my amp tone but a single setup with the option of my tube amp head or models would be the best of both worlds.
Headrush batters everything with its UI. I love my katana tones and wanted this to integrate fx as the katana footswitch ok is just too fiddly... but it's just seems overpriced. Think headrush for me
wich pre amp GT1000 is similar to Fender Deluxe Blues? Anyone?
Great Video!!!
But can it replace the dual Krakens?
Still sounds “digital” maybe it’s in my head, but it still has a digital sound I haven’t ever liked. Some modeling amps seem to not have it, including Boss. But I’m just not impressed with what I’m hearing in these reviews.
For Johns sake! It’s 2018, this unit costs more than a grand a the UI looks like 90s pixel art. Look at Helix, Headrush, Ax8. All of them have a better user interface and look less outdated.
Michael Bach THANK YOU. I swear the old PODs had a better interface. FFS boss.
Hey Folks/Rabea - tossing up on this or the FM3? Never used Fractal but have some multi effect board in the past. What are your thoughts regarding the two and what would be everyone's and your preference. Lets disregard the price comparison though. Thoughts?
i dont have FM3 (yet) but i have ax8 and gt1000, both are great units, i tend to use gt1000 more though since it has better dsp and can do stereo
@@ahmedrashed78 Are you happy with the tones from the GT1000? What are you playing through?
@@patrickharris4262 yes I like the tones I get from the gt1000, not all amps sound as with any other modeler but for me I am satisfied with what I get, I run it straight through a pair of KRK 8 monitors.
Can you demonstrate the 4 cable method on this unit, I’m still struggling with my tone plugged into the front of my Marshall 2525c thanks
hi rabea! i heard that this had the newer RV 500 DD500 and MD500 built in.. Is that misleading or are they literally the same all in this one box?
No. Sound same with the 500 series, but not all engine built in the GT1000. You can read the online the GT1000 parameter list at boss. I'm using SRV and Vintage digital from the 500 series, so can't change for GT1000 :(
How do you compare Line 6 Helix vs Boss GT1000? I sold on both but i can only buy one.
Thelearner1000 Personally, I’d go with the Helix if you still haven’t made the purchase. I’ve got the GT-1000 and it’s pretty good but I also had the Helix and sold it like a dumb ass. The Helix was far better sounding to my ears (through my frfr anyway)
I really want to like the Boss units (katana included btw), but their high gain tones always sound like crap
Does it have a drum machine and looper?
only looper
Made it about 10 mins into this video. I really dislike it's tiny screen and sort of complicated looking screen/interface. The Headrush and Helix seem so much easier to edit, and manipulate.
I am running the 4 cable method with gt1000 and a mark 1 5150.
I have all the cables in the right place and I also have a trs cable running from the amp control of the gt1000 in order to change channels on the 5150 (Channel select and FX loop off/on). This cable is going into the 'remote switch' at the rear of the 5150.
The clean channel seems to work ok... However when I switch to drive channel I loose the effects through the loop. So the switch must be turning the FX loop off on the amp at the same time? I have tried changing the amp control parameters on the gt1000 but I have not had success yet.
Also... I cannot seem to control the clean volume at all. It is set at a certain volume and will not change with either pre or post gain. Gain volume is fine... No issues.
Appreciate that I could fix this by using the 5150 channel changer, but I am trying to contain everything in the gt1000 pedal.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
The pinout of the amp ctrl has to be set correctly for the amp you have. They are not all the same. I have an old GT-10, and had to make a cable to do it correctly.
@@chrispisoni2908 cheers mate. I've sorted it out now anyway.
Top 😎
16:55 Has anybody noticed that the chorus hasn't been assigned and it goes with more delay instead of chorus ! Is it a bug on the system's unit ? Rabea was like wtf is going on ! I think this unit has some issues ! and plus I ve been using GT100 for just few times to try it the sounds sucks at most times so it's not the big time to record with it good songs or guitar solos etc ! the power supply blows up when I tried to plug it after few days not using it ! and the ext loops feature's horrible and nobody actually shows us how it sounds when you plug a pedal or device using ext loops ! compares to zoom G9.2tt wich's pretty old now but the ext loops are awesome ! I was thinking about buying this GT1000 but I changed my mind sadly
love my gt1000
The chanels don't have independent level knob just a "balance" between the both. 🤦🏽♂️
They do. They’re In the mixer section at the end of the divider. You can change the ratio of a and b and also the level of a and b. All assigned as well if you wanted to change any of it live
Nothing like the 👉 MOOG Synthesiser !!! or compared to the sound effects you can get on an electronic keyboard 🎹 where you can basically get the melodic sounds of other different musical instruments etc - Hmmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Hay
I just bought a GT 1000 and it's a pain in the ass. You need a degree in electronics to figure it out. It sounds great but the presets are all at drastically different volumes. Some are extremely loud and others you can barely hear. Many of them hum and make horrific noise and others are quiet. It's not user friendly at all.
Have you tried gigging with it? Does it hold up? Is it inconvenient on stage? What do you think?
I really hope Boss is working on a good update for this processor and the Bluetooth app, Pretty much everyone are complaining about minor things that could be fixed.
18:33!😅
I'm fed up with this digi crap. Hail the Korg AX1000g.
Good review though rabCnessbit💪
Best pedal ever 🤘❤️
JEFFGUITAR I thought that the REMS system used in the Korg was digital processing...
Cole Justesen ahh good point. I guess I meant I prefer some nobs to twiddle instead of buttons to press. 🤘🤘
How do I grow a Afro?
Don't have a visual para-eq. 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
The boss of flexibility, huh? Is that like a yoga instructor?
Indeed, it'll also steal your girlfriend. Be careful Rabea!
Alex Mappouras THAT doesn’t really make any sense.
As in, yoga instructors seem to be portrayed to steal girlfriends. I don't quite get why it doesn't make any sense
Alex Mappouras oh. I didn’t know that was a thing. That’s why it didn’t make sense to me.
Ah fair enough my dude. Yeah it's a bit of a running thing
A message for boss: I appreciated that you 've put the shimmer effect on this unit, but i'm also angry with you. The list of amp is too short instead of an helix or fractal, there's no cabinet at all, there's no filter as the korg A3, poor distortions model.. You cannot take the same money as the other major brands, and reduce all this specs. You must increase all this features with firmware on next months at least! You have to do it, if you want to survive in the FX field!
Problem with all these multi EFX units is you need a pilot's license to drive them. This is why stand alone units will never die. OK for bed room use I suppose?
You can program them to be much easier for live use than a standard pedal board would be. Plus it's much more practical and consistent for a lot of players.
Neil Aspinall Yeah its complex but that's so you can design whatever sound you want. When you are playing live you are just using the banks and presets you've made, just like any other pedal board.
The advantage of these is that you can have much more variety and settings in your live performance. A single button press can change the combination of pedals you have on, the type and even the individual settings too. Of course you could have a 'few' delay pedals with different settings for example and turn each on/off as necessary but with a multi-fx, you can have the entire chain as a single patch. Its a lot easier than bending down inbetween songs to adjust the settings.
If you have songs with a different delays or even just different different delay timings, different types of reverb or intensity, then its much easier to have a patch set up than have multiple reverb or delay pedals all set differently as 'stand alones' are not that flexible in a live environment. They are either on or and if you need different settings, you either need a 2nd (or more) pedal or bend down and tweak the settings. With these, you can just switch patch - you can save and name them too so you could have a completely different patch for every song in your set - just move up/down in the bank.
If all you have is a couple of pedals that are ether on or off in your set, or some 'tech' backstage to make any changes then maybe it is better to have individual pedals.
Pro's and Con's to both in my opinion but I doubt you would spend over £800 on a 'bedroom' only pedal solution and it is meant for the 'professional' gigging musician.
its easy with helix. try it. make a patch in 1 minute without reading the manual
you never answered my question 😭😭😭
Distortion thank
First!
CWM firt like
Wow you’re so fucking cool
Autismo Skeletino Thanks mate!
I'm at 12:52 and I haven't heard this thing make a sound yet. This sucks.
To me this just looks like an inferior product to the Helix
Na. Helix sounds horrible. This actually sounds like you're using boss algorithms which is a good thing. I was very impressed with this thing when I played through it. Didn't expect it to actually sound and feel as great as it did.
Good timing, lunch break and Rabea. I'm a simple man. And I like this.
Honestly, as awesome as it is, i dont have time to get the degree needed to configure this gear :(
Rabea, are you still using the GT1000? Are you using it live? Would you be able to do an update video on how you're using it now? 🤙🏾
he probably only seen it once (when he recorded this video) lol
When will they put a HDMI output on these for a touch screen or just a bigger display. That would be sweet!
AncientAlien815 Well you CAN plug it in to your computer... 🤷🏻♂️
Absolutely the best review and walkthrough of the Boss GT-1000 on TH-cam - thanks!
Sounds great, but Boss seriously need to up their UI-game. Showing all possible slots of the chain and scrolling through single line parameter pages is just awefull. They obviously have great engineers, they need to hire some interface designers ffs. The mobile app looks awefull too. They only got it right with the TONE STUDIO software.
Same with Kemper. Kemper has the best tone but worst interface from 1980. I think that Kemper and Boss need to hire better UI engineers to create a better color screen and user experience.
This is probably my biggest hangup on purchasing. I debate if its just worth waiting for them to release a new multi effects board with better UI but that could be many more years for all i know.
Agreed. I want this thing for the sound and processing power but every time I look at how bad the UI is and how much of a pain it is to do literally anything, I think about the easy-peasy ME-80 (which I already own) and consider buying a Helix LT, which is intuitive as heck.
My one issue with the helix is the processing power. It doesn't work at 97khz. And if they wanted to in the future, I imagine they'd have to release new hardware to handle it, and it would probably be like $2000. Meanwhile Boss already has the processing power and they could potentially release a major update that fixes all of the UI issues. More processing power = more headroom for updates with higher quality modeling over the next decade.
Love the video Rabea. There are a bunch of videos out now for the GT1000 but it's terrific that you chose to spotlight the flexibility aspect primarily since the other guys only touch on that briefly. Good one mate!
I remember the boss GT5 my first guitar fx unit
Ben Tyreman i had one too....great souvenir...
I had the GT-3 back in the day. Built like a tank.
4:22
What the Helix is that??
I love my GT-1000 :). It is great on it's own, though I mainly use it for effects along with my Waza amp.
Out of all the floor modelling units I like the original line six helix then it’s the headrush they’re my favourites
Wonderful demo dude! I have watched all the BOSS content and your vid is top notch.
What i don't understand, is why boss is still putting lcd screens from 90' that you can't see shit on in their every new product. Look at Helix or other products for crying out loud it's 2018!
Jack K exactly! It's 2018 and the interface looks 15 years old. and no they haven't used the leftover money on more accurate sounds of the amps either. What a waste!
Boss' reputation on durability is awesome and this choice might be the reason
With the Bluetooth editor, you don’t need to put an expensive color screen and the price would go way up.
I always used the PC to edit my GT-100 floor and gt-100 pro rack. So, with this I would defo use the phone via bluetooth.
Man I remember the the boss me 50. My dad had that one and I had the me 30. Terrible piece of gear. Lol
Just wanna say good game for Brazil the other day Bea. Who would have thought you'd be a great guitarist AND play left-back for Brazil?
Over the decades I have never plugged into any Boss effect that did not impress me. I am still a live amp guy and I choose gear to run with an amp rig, but a lot of the new recording emulation and IR stuff is definitely sounding great.
thank you for not relying on theatrics or funny voices for views! Your videos are always so relaxing to watch! ... as well as informative of course
Is the Afro in the presets?
Don't make fun of Marcelo's hair, he'll send Sergio Ramos over to your house and smash your guitar!
