- 🎸🔊 Boss GT-1 Basic Setup Examples for usage 🎸🔊
In this video about the Boss GT-1 Multi Effects Processor from @BOSSinfoglobal, I'll explain and show some of the basic setups for usage, and for ensuring the optimal performance of the Boss GT-1.
First step will be the Output Select, and choosing a setting that matches the equipment you're connected to.
Then figuring out whether you need to use the Boss GT-1's onboard preamp and speaker models. If you're not, then turn it OFF, and let your external amplifier do its intended work.
Pay close attention to the effects you choose to use, and especially their individual volume and level parameters.

This is an awesome video. In this era of TH-cam, so many people (many commenters) are in such a rush!!! As I sit here with my GT-1 and follow his words of wisdom, it's a masterclass in how to set it up. Everyone be quiet, patient and let the teacher teach! It's 42 minutes of your life that will save you hours in the future...
Adam, thank you, very much! You're right on point; many new users are in such a rush, and won't take the time to actually learn what it's all about... The purpose of this video is to educate, and save users a lot of time, in the long run, if they're willing to allow for it.
Your kind words are truly very much appreciated, big thanks!
I've pinned your post, because it's something everyone should read, so I hope your cool with that.
By the way, what an excellent TH-cam Channel you have, I subbed, and I will surely follow along!
Again, thank you, for taking the time to watch and comment!
Please let me know if you should ever need anything, I'd be happy to assist.
Cheers & have an excellent weekend! 😊
@@GuitarNTabs Oh man, wonderful to make contact with you. Please contact me privately - I tour a lot in Germany - it may be nice to meet up in person!

I just got one of these real cheap and plan on using it with my Quilter. This video actually prevented me from returning it as at first I couldn't get a decent tone out of it. Thanks!
Excellent, I'm very pleased to hear that!
Enjoy your GT-1 and rock on!
All the best.
This is the kind of presentation I like. Great job at bringing us something useful that you actually own and use to the point of developing a significant expertise that you are able to effectively share with us. This is what we need.
Hi!

@@GuitarNTabs I presently have my gt1 connected to my yam 12 channel mixer with an active di box an a single trs guitar cable (2 black rings on the shaft). This is the gt1 mono output 1/4". But this output is summed mono according to the documentation. Well, being 'mono' defeats the purpose of my high quality stereo jbl pa system (studio monitors and sub, 2.1).
The problem is:
The current hook up does not provide stereo sound to my sound system.
This factor is limiting and eliminates any stereo sounds from patches that use stereo imaging.
Guessed solution:
I'm going to run 2 trs cables to a 2 channel di box. And xlr cables from the di to mixer.
Note: Present situation is summed mono trs cable into a 1 channel active di box. This sounds great and silent. Very excellent. But it can't be reproducing the sound close to the potential quality.
Solution:
I am going to hook the gt1 outputs up with 2 trs cables to a two channel di box. Xlr from the di box to the mixer and powered nearfield speakers and subwoofer.
There is no way to guess if I will notice a difference in the sound of the system and effects. It might be a subtle but imperceptible difference.
In this regard my present summed mono system sounds very good to my ears using acoustic guitar, electric guitar, baritone guitars, and bass guitars.
I need to try the proposed alternative but probably better connection method.
compare the output in the headphones out of the GT1, to your PA. It’s patch dependent whether you’ll benefit from stereo to your mixer (chorus, reverb, delay) but to get the most you’ll want stereo to your mixer.
@@tenyoum Thank you. I am still working on this and have enough cables, etc., to do complete stereo hook up starting at the dual 1/4" (trs?) outputs of my korg d1. I have a stereo passive di box (a rather cheap one at that!#@&).
I will find out if it sounds better without the passive stereo di box with trs cables only into 2 powered big high quality stage monitors that I have on hand.
I have so far only hooked up the korg d1 to only 1 powered speaker via 1/4" trs cable from the d1's mono output jack.
I also listened to the d1 by connecting 1/8" jack stereo sony high quality headphones via the d1's convenient front mounted headphone output jack.
In addition I checked out the sound of the d1 stage piano by connecting a high quality small jbl charge 3 waterproof Bluetooth portable speaker to the front mounted 1/8" stereo headphone output jack on the d1.
All of the speaker systems, although quite different, sounded very decent during my initial sound test playing the d1 stage piano.
The powered stage monitor produced the loudest sound because of the powerful and adjustable amplifier in the electrovoice stage monitor.
The sony high quality monitor headphones sounded great also but the volume was quite limited, in my practice area, even at the piano's highest volume.
The jbl charge 3 rechargeable bluetooth portable speaker for tablets and laptops also sounded great and provided a great soundscape with the freedom of being able to place the charge 3 in the middle right in front of me, on top of the flat surface of the korg d1 stage piano. Again this was not able to be loud enough to entertain anything other than a very small gathering of laid back and quiet friends or family.
In order to play piano or keyboard with other musicians you would definitely need at least 1 big powered stage monitor (recommend 10" minimum) of 1000 watts.
One 10 - 15" powered stage monitor of 1000 watts (common for a stage monitor)
will be comfortably loud enough to be heard when playing with others including a moderately loud drummer. Don't underestimate how much volume you are going to need if you plan tp play or perform with others, especially outdoors where you need as much volume as you can possibly produce.
In my practice area the big powered electrovoice 15" monitor sound great and is adjusted to a soft but room filling level. The stage monitor produces much more full sound with much more detail to the piano sound and performance; making the other sound sources sound thin and vague in comparison.
Full size stage monitors produce a big full and detailed sound. Nearfield studio monitors with a subwoofer also produce a big and full very detailed sound, but the volume of nearfield monitors is not best suited for entertaining groups of people, rather they are used for close listening from 3 feet away or so, such as for playing piano or keyboard.
From my amateur experience so far, I find that the nearfield low powered studio monitors combined with the matching subwoofer work best to provide a great soundscape while playing the keyboards in my studio practice area. I have the jbl powered sub and dual 5" powered monitors. This 2.1 3 piece sound system is stereo and is professional quality at a very affordable price. When you play you will think you are in a cathedral or some other awesome sounding place!
The jbl 3 piece nearfield / subwoofer speaker system is probably less expensive than a stereo keyboard amp. Plus I don't know how many so called stereo keyboard amps are actually stereo, especially if they only have 1 speaker.
The jbl 2.1 system has 2 near field monitors plus 1 good subwoofer. Again, this jbl 2.1 system is appropriate for home or studio use. This is not suitable for gigging or performing with a band or other musicians, in most cases.
The sound of most pianos and keyboards can be tremendously improved by connecting almost any powered speakers or stereo headphones.
Even very inexpensive headphones will sound incredibly good, relatively speaking.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I am a beginner/intermediate player who sold his amp recently because I moved into a unit in a big city with paper thin walls. I received the GT-1 for Christmas so I could play at home and the set-up part of the video was great ... and the second half scared me to death with all the tweaks you can make! Do players spend that much time just on setting up, where is the time for practice :-)
Cheers, Majinnhec 😊
You're very welcome - I'm pleased to hear that you found the video helpful.
The GT-1 is great, and it offers a lot of different effects as well as preamp and cabinet options.
The main goal, before diving in, is to get it set-up properly - otherwise it will have an impact on the overall quality of the patches and effects, etc.
Well, all the tweaks should, at some point atleast, make things easier for you, when being on stage, for example.
With those extra tweaks, etc. you'll be able to gain much more control over the unit, and let it do whatever you need it to, hehe.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Best regards & Happy New Year.
Cheers.
Thanks for this mate great tutorial. If Boss isn't paying you for this, well, they fu**ing should! it's one of the best promotional videos I've seen for their products =)
Hi there, Tiago!
Thanks for watching, and thank you for your nice comment and words!
I'm still dreaming.. I would love to work with Boss, that's for sure.. I hope, one day, they will see this..
Please let me know if I can assist in any way.
Have an excellent weekend.
Fantastic tutorial! Would love to see another one geared toward using an amp (my interest is in small amp setting). Additionally, a session regarding working with the Looper. What you say is true. This is a fantastic piece of gear, but if you’re not willing to study HOW to use it, you miss so much of what it can do. Thank you so much for this help!
Thanks, GByePorkPieHat. I appreciate it!
Yes, it's fundamental that you study and get your hands dirty, in order to get the most out of such unit :-)
Thanks for your kind words, I truly appreciate it.
I'll see what I can do :-)
Have a good one & cheers!
I thought I was subbed. I am now. I bought mine because of your and a few others videos. This takes patience. Thank you. A few of my latest videos are using this machine. I love it! I've not been playing long but I am learning fast.

I just bought a used one off of eBay. Got it pretty cheap. I am getting together an all battery powered system, amp/pa, vocal hamonizer, and now this multi-effects pedal for playing in parks and other places with no power. All I have left to find is a looper that has storage, or a battery to run my only plug into wall looper I already have. Got a lot of original backing songs I wrote that I got saved on the card that goes into my looper, so I’m hoping I can figure out a way to power that for the all battery setup! Great informative video, helped me make the choice of buying. Thank you!
Hi there, HumbleHeartMinistry.

Sweet, that sounds like a great set-up and a nice way to get around, when playing outside.

Thank for the video! Would it unit work only as an effects and expression pedal unit if I connected it to a Tonex? So Boss for effects and pedal and Tonex for the amp sounds.
really impressed by how much info this video is stating. It is much like a clinic .

Moving from the GT100 To the GT1 was great. I do miss having 4 settings to choose from but the portability and the battery power capabilities really makeup for the loss of the pedals. I'll be adding a control pedal to expand it + a MIDI controller to my RC500.
All battery powered and expansion for looping with my t5z
Hello Rafael,
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.
I hear you, but I really enjoy the GT-1 as well, and it's been perfect for the smaller stages and just for the portability!
The sounds are excellent and I've been so happy with it, and still is.
By control pedal I assume you're talking about an extra footswitch to control Assigns, etc.?
If so, I would highly recommend the Boss FS-7, it's as compact as the GT-1 and superb!
Let me know if you need anything else, I'd be happy to assist.
All the best.
@@GuitarNTabs would you be able to setup the fs-6 (or even fs-7) to be setup as a traditional two stomp looper. - rec/play on left and stop/clear on right. So the ctrl 1 on the gt1 is used as stock?
I’d like the versatility to add that similar to how the gt100 has the two looper stomp pedals on the top.
Also would there be a more portable control foot switch similar to the fs-6? As the fs-7 is setup top and bottom vs left and right
@@rafaelunplugged - Sadly the Looper, and its functions, can't be assigned to the external CTLs... It can only be operated as it comes default from the factory...
Hmm, there might be, a more portable footswitch, but I haven't really looked... I love the FS-7, and its compact form, so that's plenty good for me.
I hope this helps.
Let me know if you need anything else.
All the best.
@@GuitarNTabs I think it’s possible with midi switch controller.
I figured out (and test this if you like) - that with mic output on A and guitar output on B - when you play it live no loop or during loop recording the volume is higher. You’ll hear the volume decrease once you close a loop
But if outputs are both a&b volumes will be the same. You can balance it by decreasing loop volume though. But that is such a strange thing to me that the levels aren’t the same.
Thank you for the video, this is what i m looking for. I m using studio monitor and focusrite 2i2 to my imac using garage band, what output should I use for my guitar. Q2. Let say I want to used Blues buddy and the next the for the chorus is bark tone so how do i set it, rather than stepping on the pedal for so many times to reach the bark tone, thanks
Hi there,
Q1:
There are several ways you could do it, for example, arrange the two patches so they'll appear right after each other. You do this by moving one of the patches right before or after the other patch. Another way, which would probably be a lot quicker and better, is to create both sounds within one single patch, by using the GT-1's Assigns. I would prefer the last option - they Assigns are killer!
Q2:
The Output Select should be Line/Phones, always. However, if you change setups, then you need to change the Output Select along with the setup. Also, when using the Line/Phones setting, you're using the GT-1's onboard preamp and speaker models, but you shouldn't be using those when using a regular amplifier. Create separate patches for different setups, that's very important.
I hope this helps, let me know if you need anything else.
Best regards.
@@GuitarNTabs thank you,
Greetings! This video was fantastic. I just got a GT-1 and tonight is the first time I've messed with it. I read the manual, of course, but your video really helped me understand how it works, and what it is capable of. I have not a multi effects unit for a while. I used a Digitech gnx3000 at one time and almost bought another one. But I decided on something more "modern," and the GT-1 was in my budget as brand new. Anyway, so far I'm very pleased, and your video has way more information than the manual. Many thanks!!!
Hey there, Matthew :-)
Thanks for your comment, and for subscribing, I truly appreciate it!
Thank you for the kind words, I'm very pleased that you've found my videos helpful - that's what it's all about!
Reading the manual is a good place to start, and it will provide some knowledge, but it's lacking on many points, sadly..
I'm glad you could find the rest of the information here, on TH-cam, through my channel :-)
Great choice of going with the GT-1 - I'm still really happy with mine, and use it for all sorts of things.
Matthew, let me know if you have any questions along the way - I'd be more than happy to help out.
Just fire away.
I'd also be more than happy to take requests on future videos - so just let me know.
Thanks again
Have a great day
Cheers.
Subbing! Awsome tutorial. 👍
Thanks, Oliver, I greatly appreciate it.
Rock on!
hi there great video thanks for all the info. I have mine hooked up too the jc120 for output I have it hooked up too a marshall dsl 40 1x12 amp is this the proper setting for the amp or should I use a different output like small amp or combo
Hi there, Shannon Hodder.
Thanks for your comment and question, I appreciate it.
I would recommend changing the Output Select to Combo Amp, if you're plugging into the front input on your Marshall amp.
Another question, how do you wish to use the GT-1? For effects only with your own amp, or for both effects and preamp models?
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs thanks for the reply I really cant say enough about this pedal already just from owning it a day. I am currently using it as my main effects pedal as I find trying to hook my boss gt8 pedal with it as well is a bit confusing. cheers
@@shanobi1kanobi - You're very welcome!
Indeed, it's a great pedal, and the possibilities are endless!
Seems like a good start, then just plug it into the front input of your amp and set the Output Select to Combo Amp.
I can see that, and honestly I think that's a bit too much, since both units are capable of the same things, plus/minus some years apart ;-)
Just got this for Christmas, thanks so much for the tutorial!
Greetings & Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
That's excellent - what a great gift!
Please let me know if you have any questions or issues - I'd be happy to assist.
It's really important to get the GT-1 set-up properly, before you start playing.
Best regards & wishes.
@@GuitarNTabs just one thing. Where can you find a USB 2.0?
@@protostargaming3972 - A USB 2.0 cable??
@@GuitarNTabs To connect it to a computer. I want to download patches off of online and I think you need a USB 2.0 to connect it. I ordered one off of Amazon though, so I'm all set. Another thing though, is what kind of amp I have. I have a Fender 65r and I didn't know what kind of amp that was on the pedal.
@@protostargaming3972 - Hey again & Happy New Year!
Sorry for the late reply.. I've been behind with the comments...
Okay, good to know, then you're all set! Just connect it to your computer.
Well, how do you want to use the GT-1? For its effects only, along with your Fender 65r amp? Or do you want to use the GT-1 for both its effects and onboard preamps/cabinets? You have to figure that you first, because those options are two completely different setups.
Let me know, and I'll help you through.
Best regards.
I’m watching this again, now that I’m more familiar with the unit. It’s going well.
What I’ve been doing is just adjusting the level from the play screen once I have my patches ready to go. I have about one through 10, just using one or two preamps.
So just by ear, I’ve had to adjust the levels on the play screen for smooth transitions in volume between different songs with different patches.
I didn’t notice any change in tone, so I was careful with that. And I did go in and fine tune each tone individually, mostly really decreasing the bass to cut through a mix or for live. And decreasing some of the gainer that was just getting in the way. Not as good as a db meter, but how does that sound to you? My process! 👍🏻🎸🇺🇸
Thank you!
Hello,
It all sounds like a good process! Just always make sure to even out any inconsistencies with the deducated effect's level parameter, and keep the Patch Level as a "last resort" option.
All the best.
Hi I love your videos and have learned a lot from them but I have a question. Just recently I starting using the Tone Central. On some of the patches I noticed the initials PrA that shows up to the left of the note at the top right of the display. Can you tell me what that is and what it's for? Thanks
Hi there!
Thanks for your comment and kind words, I really appreciate it.
PrA is the solo boost function for the GT-1's onboard Preamp. It can be assigned via the footswitch (CTL1).
The PrA will add a boost in volume and certain frequencies.
I hope this makes sense.
Cheers.
Thank you for great review. Do you think it is worth to get digital amp like fender GTX amp instead of this?
Hi there, Babak.
Thanks for your comment, and kind words, I appreciate it!
Honestly, it all depends on what you're trying to achieve.
If you like, and want, the sound of the Fender GTX amp, and then only use the GT-1 for effects, then go for it.
However, if you like a portable rig, and want to use the GT-1 for both its effects and onboard preamp models, then consider connecting the GT-1 to a Mixer/PA or something similar.
I don't know about your set up, or if you play live, at home, etc.
I hope this helps.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Cheers.
Kudos on the great tutorial!
Keep it up
Thank you, I greatly appreciate it!
Thanks for watching.
@@GuitarNTabs I’m currently in a situation where I have the option of either buying a new GT-1 for 210$ or a used GT-100 with a case for the same price.
I’m leaning towards the GT-100 because I want to use it with my tube combo amp for home practice and recording without any of the preamp or speaker emulation on the GT-100 using the 4 cable method.
I’m a bit worried that I will spend time fiddling with the unit rather than playing. Would recommend the GT-1 or GT-100 for the same price?
@@manhalnaddour125 - Hi again!
Aha, that's a very interesting situation.
In general terms the GT-100 and the GT-1 are almost identical, except a few missing features on the GT-1.
The GT-100 has the onboard FX Loop, for 4 Cable Method, Dual Signal Paths and the option of having two preamp models within the same patch.
The GT-1 doesn't have all this, since it's a more "stripped" down version, etc.
Well, if you don't want to use the onboard preamps of the unit(s), and rather go 4 Cable Method, then the GT-100 is the choice, because the GT-1 doesn't have the FX Loop.
And, with the 4 Cable Method you can actually have "best of both worlds", because you can switch between using your own tube amp and the onboard preamp models of the GT-100, using the S/R-block (Send/Return).
I love my GT-1, and I own the GT-100 as well, but I settled on the GT-1 mainly because of its size and compact form. As mentioned, effects, preamps, etc. are the same technology and firmware, so I still get the same effects, preamps, etc.
Every new piece of gear has to be set up properly, in order to get it dialed in just right, so there will be some of that...
From what you're telling me, with your tube amp, 4 Cable Method and not wanting to use the onboard preamp models, the GT-100 would probably be the best bet here.
It's hard for me to really tell, but that's the answer I can provide, based on what you've told me.
I'd be happy to assist further, just let me know.
I hope my response can be of help.
@@GuitarNTabs Thanks you so much for the detailed reply. I’m still going through your videos on both the GT-1 and GT-100, they are the best out there!
I have ordered both units and will try the GT-100 with the 4CM and the GT-1 in front of the amp and decide based on that. If there is not much difference I will send the GT-100 back!
The portability and size of the GT-1 makes it so appealing but I want to get the best sound out of my amp and the time-based effects that’s why I wanted to go with the GT-100 and 4CM.
Btw, have you tried the Boss ME-80? I have a couple available for a pretty good deal and I like the idea of it being simple (give me more time to play and less time to fiddle with effects)
@@manhalnaddour125 - Hi again!
My pleasure, I'm just happy to assist.
Thank you, that's very kind of you, I greatly appreciate it!
Nice, I'm sure you're gonna love both units, and this way you can give both a good try, and see what's going to work for you.
Sounds like you've got it all planned out nicely!
Exactly, that's why I went with the GT-1 in the first place, because of its size and compact design.
A gigbag with my two main guitars and the GT-1 in a pedalboard hardcase, and I'm ready to gig - it doesn't get lighter and easier than that.
I haven't tried the ME-80, no, but I can see your point! I'm sure the ME-80 will be/do just fine as well.
Let me know how it all goes, and what you decide, it's interesting to see.
Have a great day!
Cheers.

Hi Steve,
Thank you, I appreciate it.
The dB-meter I use is a rather old one, from a company called DK Technologies and the series is their "MSD". It can only be found used these days.
Another option is to use the dB-meter of a recording software, like Audacity or Cubase. I've done that, and it's alright, the rest can always be tweaked at the venue, etc. if needed.
I hope this helps.
Best regards.
I almost threw this thing at the wall, to be honest, and found your videos to be its savior. I read the manual but it was dog crap and was frustrating to me because it was like 4 pages and explained nothing. Now that I have watched everything and this tutorial you are awesome!!! Thank you again
Hi there, Brian.
Thanks for your comment and kind words, they are greatly appreciated!
I'm so glad to hear that you found my videos helpful, and it all worked out, with the GT-1
Trust me, the GT-1 is an excellent piece of gear, and you'll be able to get some superb and crisp tones from it!
I've had mine since it came out, and I still use it!
I agree with you, Boss should have paid more attention to the Owner's Manual, because it's not that good, sadly...
Please let me know if you need anything, I'd be happy to assist.
Best regards.

Can you do step by step on how to use the Tap Tempo Delay
Does the GT=1 have empty banks to store your own patches? Also, I have a request. I have a Les Paul Traditional and a Marshall DSL-40C; how would i setup the GT-1 and amp to achieve the sounds of Billy Gibbons in Tush and La Grange? Could you provide me with the settings? Thanks! Excellent tutorial by the way!
Hi there, Phil.
Thanks for your comment, and for watching, I greatly appreciate it.
The GT-1 has 99 Factory Presets and 99 User Presets. Both are labeled differently. The Factory Presets are displayed with a "P" and the User Presets with a "U".
You should use the User Presets, when making your patches, because you're able to store the settings and change effects, etc.
Thanks for the request.
First of all you would need to set the Output Select to Combo Amp, and make sure to disable the GT-1's onboard Preamp. When you use your own Amp, you shouldn't use the onboard ones, so press the PREAMP - button to turn it off.
Once that is done, you need to set up your Marshall Amp, so it sounds close to the tone you're after. Listen to the songs/records, maybe do some gear research and then start dialing in your amplifier. I would recommend doing this with just your Les Paul connected to your Marshall's input. Once you're satisfied, connect the GT-1, and apply the effects you need. Perhaps some Compression, light overdrive, reverb, etc.
That should get you started good.
I hope this answers your question, but please let me know if it didn't.
Thanks for your comment.
Looking forward to your reply.
Awesome video. I will be connecting mine to an Orange CR120H Amp with an Orange 4 x 12 Cabinet, what output setting do you suggest? I will be taking to the Return input of my amp BTW.
Hey there.
I would recommend setting the Output Select to Stack Amp Return then. That would nicely match your connection and equipment.
I hope this helps.
Best regards.
@@GuitarNTabs thank you!!
@@scbene - Sure, no problem at all.

Dear GNTabs, I recently bought a GT-1 because I needed a light, self-powered unit with little power drainage to use it open air (I connect it toa Mackie Thump GO battery powered monitor). I stumbled upon your channel and immediately subscribed, thanks for the wonderful and useful videos you've been posting so far. I particularly thank you for the video using directly the built-in software (when I'm outdoor I don't carry my laptop). I'm currently watching your GT-1 video series but I'd like to ask you some questions, if you have the time to answer. That is:
1. I have a Roland F6 pedal, I'd like to use it as a bank up/down for the GT-1. But first of all, is it possible to group patches on the GT-1 (as it is the case for the GT 100) in banks?
2. Is the built-in cabinet simulation automatically engaged when the GT-1 is on line/phone output and connected to a line speaker ? or do I also need to insert a jack head into the phone output in order to engage the cabinet simulation (i.e. that was the case of the BOSS ME 25)?
3. Have you ever tampered with the Guitar sim effect in order to improve the tone of the patches? I have a guitar with active EMG pickups (Lukather set) and sometimes I struggle to get good distorted tone (after having played valve amps for a lifetime my ears are biased) from multifx...almost by chance I've noticed that the guitar sim engaged with a Marshall tone in the GT improve the signal much better than a light boost without spoiling the GT-1 basic recipe for the modeled amp.
Happy if you maight fidn the time forn anaswer and grateful anyway for your useful videos..cheers
Hi there, Obenda Perkins.
Thank you so much for your comment and question, I greatly appreciate them!
Also thank you for subscribing - I'd be happy to assist.
1. The GT-1 doesnt have banks, like the GT-100 does. But it basically works just the same. If you want your FS-6 to toggle between patches, up and down, then all you have to do is:
Press the "Memory Edit" button, scroll until you see CT2 and CT3. Start by placing the cursor on the CT2 icon and press the Enter button. Now you will access the setup menu for the CT2 footswitch, which is one half of your FS-6. Scroll through the function options, untill you see "NUMBER +1", then leave it at that, and press Exit to return to the signal chain. Do the same for the CT3, but set the function to "NUMBER -1" and you'll be good to go. This is a great way to do it, especially if you want to have the UP, DOWN and CTL1 onboard the GT-1 to do different things.
2. I believe so, yes. You should just connect your equipment, set the Output Select to Line/Phones and check if the "PREAMP" button is engaged - if so it will light up red.
3. I have played around with it a little yes, but to be honest it won't magically make your patches sound better. What really will make your patches sound better is to keep proper volume and gain levels, between effects, preamp, etc. The Guitar Sim can be "alright" if you're looking to mimic a Les Paul, while playing on a Strat, but it won't really be all that good... Also, you'll sacrifice an effects block, like the FX1, for example, and I just don't think that it's worth it. So much can be achieved by setting proper levels, gain stages and by actually tweaking each effects' dedicated EQ and Tone parameters.
I hope this answers your question, but if not, then please get back to me, and we'll take it from there.
Thanks again for reaching out, and for subscribing, I'm grateful for it!
Have a splendid day.

Great videos on GT-1 setup :) Which output mode do you think would be best for a Roland JC-22 amp? thanks, Derek
Hi there, Derek!
Thanks for your comment and question, I appreciate it.
The Output Select should be set to JC-120, if going straight into the JC-22's front input. If you're going through the JC-22's Left and Right Effects Loop Return, then set it to JC-120 Return. Let me know how you have things connected.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Thanks for the quick reply - after watching the video I went for JC-120 Return as I now connect the GT-1 to my JC-22 via its FX Return input. Thanks, your video tutorials are the best!!
@@djwindhoek - You're welcome!
Great choice, that's a good way of connecting things, if you want to use the GT-1's onboard preamps. Connecting through the Effects Loop Return will bypass the amp's preamp-section and only leave the speaker running. So I take that's how you're using it.
Also, take full advantage of the stereo Effects Loop Return by connecting the GT-1's left output to the fx loop return's left input, and the right output to the fx loop return's right input. That way you chorus, delay, etc. will be output in stereo.
Thanks for the kind words.
Let me know if you need anything.
All the best.
Hello! Congratulations on the great video! I saw that gt-1 has ctl 1,2,3 and 4. How to use the 4? Is there a footswitch with 4 triggers? Thank you very much
Hello :-)
Thanks for watching my video, I appreciate it!
The GT-1 only has CTL 1, 2 and 3 available.
You have CTL 1 on-board the GT-1, next to the volume pedal.
CTL 2 and 3 are available if you buy and connect either the Boss FS-6 or FS-7 footswitch.
I would highly recommend the FS-7 - it's much better and smaller in size :-)
Also, you need a TRS jack cable in order to make the FS-6 or FS-7 work with the GT-1.
Connect the FS-6 or FS-7 to the CTL 1,2 / EXP input on the rear panel of the GT-1 :-)
Hope this helps - otherwise let me know :-)
Cheers!

Thanks for a great review, I have a Roland Blues Stage 60 which doesn’t have effects return so I have to run straight into the amp.
I only need an extra overdrive option with modulation as the only effect the Stage 60 has is reverb.
I tried to find info on using or not using the preamp on the GT1 but most reviews did not dive deep enough, and although the sound I was getting on the small amp and combo amp setting was ok I always thought the demo videos seemed to sound better so I stopped using the GT1 and ran a Dap 1 pedal instead which is a good pedal, but limited.
So thanks again for a clear concise explanation, I will be trying my GT1 at rehearsal today for sure.
Thanks and greetings from New Zealand.
Mike.
Greetings, Mike.
I'm very sorry for my late reply... I've been behind on answering comments...
With an amp like the Blues Cube, where there's no AUX or Effects Loop, it's probably a good idea to only use the GT-1 for its effects, and let the Blues Cube do the amp stuff.
The sound and tone from the many review videos are mostly made with the GT-1 running into a mixer, PC or recording device, where the GT-1's preamp models are used, and that's why... Some use it with an amp too, but for the most part it's straight into a recording device.
I'd give the GT-1 a go, direct into the mixer, etc. That's what I do, and I absolutely love it!
Again, I'm sorry for the late reply.
I hope this helps.
Best regards from Denmark.
I have had this for one week and it has been used for two live shows (8 hours total). It is performing well with some tasteful gain and clean tones that I programmed in. I found that leaving the cab simulation on original sounds best when going direct to the PA (and back thru a stage monitor). There seems to be limitations with quickly raising the overall volume on certain patches. I thought that knob 2 ( channel volume ) or knob 3 ( output volume ) could easily give me lots of control over volume but it does not.
I think that if certain effects are used in the chain that have volume cuts they will control everything thereafter ? I want all of my patches to have lots of volume control with the two knobs I mentioned. I also have to figure out how to assign things to the control switch.
Hi there, Musicistherapy.
Thanks for your comment and experience - I appreciate it.
I really like to switch between the different cabibet options - especially the 1x10" and 2x12". Doing that can really add some new flavour to the sound.
Raising the volume how? What are you trying to, or want to achieve, with raising the volume? Solo boost, or just more volume?
When using effects in your patches, and signal chain, then make sure to always level them out with the rest.
Find yourself a "target level", for example the level of the preamp model you use, and then match the remaining effects to that, so keep things consistent. I do that on all my patches, and it's so important.
Assigning to the control switch - which control switch? The EXP switch, or?
Let me know.
All the best.
GuitarNTabs first of all. I haven’t properly thanked you for your videos. Your dedication and thoroughness in these videos is a rare find. Without your videos I would be way behind.
You diagnosed my problem exactly. I went thru all of my user patches and set my preamps at around 75%. I would highly recommend going up to this level to get the most quality “tube like” sounds. My lack of volume control at my live shows was because of user patches with different preamp levels. Silly mistake on my part.
Since I made my post I watched your video on how to assign things to CTL 1 (the red button when pushed on). I can now go from clean to dirty or use CTL 1 for one or multiple effects. That video was an amazing help.
@@sticksnstones23 - Hi there.
Thank you very much, I greatly appreciate your kind words!
I'm pleased to hear that my videos did help you - fantastic!
I see - it's so important to get the levels right, and consistent! Otherwise things wil lget out of control...
The overall sound quality of the patches will also be better, when things are leveled out.
Fantastic, that's great to hear! Indeed, the CTL1 and the assigns is a great feature, and I use them all the time!
Enjoy it all, and rock on!

Hi there and thank you for all your videos regarding the GT-1 - very informative! I have two questions that you might be able to answer. 1. I miss the high/low cut feature in the parametric eq that are available on e.g. Katanas. Are you aware of any update version of the GT-1 that have this feature?. 2. I've also read that the GT-1 transmits only midi cc#7 (volume) via USB-midi, but do you know if it can also transmit midi patch change via USB-midi? Already aware of the receive features via MIDX-20 but that's in the other direction. Cheers!
is the pitch shift polyphonic? can it do the job of the Digitech Drop? can you use it intead of it for E flat tuning(GNR,NUNO....) thanks
Hey!
I can't find information about whether it's polyphonic or not, but you can adjust the Pitch Shifter to do tuning up or down.
Hey man, great stuff! I have probably a silly question but I need the answer. I have a focusrite scarlett sound card. Can I connect GT to focusrite and then to my computer or? I have a small home studio and need the guitar processor so I’m collecting info.
Thanks in advance!
Hey there, Bojan :-)
Thank you for the question and for watching my video - I appreciate it!
Hehe, no such thing as a silly question ;-)
Actually, the GT-1 itself has a USB-port, which you can connect to your laptop, etc. and record that way.
But yes, you can also run it through your Scarlett sound card, that should be no problem, but the above-mentioned method would be a little easier :-) Guess it all depends on what you need and desire.
You made a great choice of going with the GT-1, trust me. It's and excellent piece of gear, and the effects and preamps are great!
I'd be more than happy to help out, if you need any further help.
Are you planning to use the GT-1 for effects and preamps, or? :-)
Let me know what you think.
Cheers! :-)
GuitarNTabs thanks for such a thorough answer, man, really appreciate it! :)
I plan on using it for recording in my studio, mostly for grunge, hard rock and heavy metal style of music. I am using Bias FX now but I am not satisfied with my distortion sounds so I really need something more serious!
Hey again, Bojan :-)
You are more than welcome, no problem.
You're always welcome to ask for help, if you have questions :-)
Aah, I see - good choice. The GT-1 should be excellent for that!
I'm sure you're going to like the GT-1 - just spend some good time with it, and you'll truly see what it can do!

Very good explanation on the output select feature.. Meanwhile i found a peculiar behaviour and i need your help now.. I use a Line6 spider iv 15w as my main practice amp as well as for developing new patches.. But when i used the output select on small amp as it should be.. I found the sound very muddy compared to the line phone option that i am using now.. After using this option my amp sounds very clear and good. Is there something wrong with my amp?
Hi there, Colossal Corp.
Thanks for your comment and question, I appreciate it.
I'm glad you like the video, cheers!
When selecting the Small Amp setting, did you remember to disable the GT-1's onboard PREAMP-block?
That may be the issue...
Let me know.
All the best.
is there a way to turn the preamp off completely? Do I need to push it off/on when I want to use it or not? Or are you saying this is when I would do it in user patches individually? I only want to use the Boss pedal effects connected to an simple amp head set to a clean channel on the amp head & 2x12 cabinet. thx
Hey, Stephen.
Thanks for getting in touch, I appreciate it.
You disable the PREAMP by simply pressing the button once, so that the red light goes out. That means the PREAMP is now OFF.
If you only want to use the effects in the GT-1, then you have to disable the PREAMP for each patch, like mentioned above.
Also, make sure to set the Output Select properly, matching your equipment.
What amp and cabinet are we talking about?
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs ok,thx. I thought that by the way that you were explaining the preamp could be turned off for all patches w/o having to do it individualy.
i use mine with the pre amp clean fender twin into a drri amp and it sounds soooo good with comp, slapback, and a little bit of overdrive. i use the same settings but with the tweed bassman and vox pre amps into the same amp and it is very very good. i use this to gig with but i play classic country and old rock. like ur tutorials, learned a lot from them, im just an old knob turner but this gt1 is great!
Hey there, Scott :-)
Thanks for your comment - that's really nice to know!
The GT-1 is indeed great, and the effects and preamps are superb!
I use the Clean Twin preamp as well, and if I add the T-Scream overdrive + some delay, then I'm right where I need to be! :-)
I play in a Partyband, so I have to cover a lot of ground, and the GT-1 is excellent for that type of set-up!
I'm glad that you found my videos and tutorials helpful!
You're always welcome to let me know if you need anything!
Keep turning those knobs, and rock out, Scott :-)
Cheers, mate!
Regards.
Is it possible to use the expression pedal of the GT-1 as a volume pedal to do swells combining delay / reverb / volume pedal ?
Sure, the EXP pedal will be able to do that.
It's just a matter of having the delay and reverb set up, and rocking the EXP pedal.
Cheers.
Very well done video ! I would like to thank you for your time and efforts, to helping others such as myself , to better understand the importance of the initial set up process . much appreciated !

I have a Question for the Output Setting. I normally play over Headphones or plug the GT into my Laptop. But now I want to start using it for Practice. My plan is to just buy a speaker so I can use the Preamps from the GT-1. But what Output Setting do I have to use if just want to use a Speaker without an Amp?
Hi there, Michael!
Thanks for getting in touch, I appreciate it.
It all really depends on the equipment/speaker you choose, to be honest, but mainly Line/Phones, since you're using the GT-1's preamp models.
I might add one thing.. That speaker should not be a "regular" speaker.. It has to be something like FRFR (Full Range Flat Response) or a speaker suited for multi effects units.
Which speaker did you have in mind?
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Thank you so much for your quick response!
Okay, thanks for the information. I still have to read myself into it, I don't know which speaker I'll use yet.
@@michaelmoser3483 - I'm glad it all worked out!

Hi is there any chance of a video on how to set up the feedbacker so you can use it momentarily by pressing CTL
Hi there, Paul Bellucci.
Thanks for your comment and question, I appreciate it!
Sure, I can make a video about it - but I can do one better, since it's pretty simple.
Press the MEMORY-EDIT button, scroll to find the CT1-icon, then press ENTER.
Set the FUNCTION parameter to FX1 and change the MODE to MOMENT.
Then go to the FX1 block and select the FEEDBACKER, and adjust its settings to your desired requirements.
Now, press and hold the CTL1 footswitch, the FEEDBACJER will be activated, and then let go, and the FEEDBACKER will be deactivated - just like you need it to.
Try it, and let me know how it goes.

I'm currently rehearsing with a band and my lead guitarist is gonna use one of these (we bought it together). We rehearse in a space which has amps in it. Would you suggest my guitarist to only use the amp in the room and no preamp on the GT-1 (as is to just use for example OD, reverb, chorus and so on on the GT-1 but no preamp setting)?
I don't know what the case will be when we will do our first gig, but I'm guessing we will use the amps that the venue we'll play at have on their stage, which probably won't be the same kind of amps that are in our rehearsal space.
Hi there,
Thanks for your comment and question, I greatly appreciate it.
It's important to keep in mind, that what you're mentioning are two different ways of setting up the GT-1.
The GT-1's Preamp should only be ON when running to a Mixer, PA, Headphones or through an amp's effects loop return. Make sure the Output Select is set to Line/Phones.
The GT-1's Preamp should always be OFF when connecting throught an amp's front input. You will only use the GT-1's effects, not the Preamp.
I would go for the option you're most sure of, in regards to a future gig, etc.
If you wanted to be one the safe side, then make separate patches, some for the amp (without GT-1 Preamp) and some for the mixer (With GT-1 Preamp).
I hope this helps.

Is there a way to set/change the response time while using the looper? For example when I record something using the Looper, there is a bit of a pause after the loop plays, instead of going right back into it.
Hi there, Joshua!
It all has to do with timing, when you start and stop the loop - you need to count the beats, and end on the same.
The timing is off, and that's why the pause is there...
I hope this makes sense.

Hi there,
Thanks for your comment, and kind words, I greatly appreciate it.
Sometimes I use the channel meter in my Cubase DAW, and that works pretty well.
When I really want to dial things in, I use my trusty DK Audio MSD100 dB meter, and that's spot on.
You can get apps as well, but the overall quality will vary. The channel meter, in any DAW; would be a good place to start.

To save a lot of time and pushing buttons,hook it up to your computer and life is a lot easier.
It is a great pedal. Had mine for months and never had the time to really set up up.
Definitely using the computer USB and away you go.
But do still watch this for some great hints if you’re not familiar with what all the effects do and so forth.
Cheers! Indeed, using Tone Studio is great, and often quicker. I guess it depends on what you're used to.
Have an excellent day, and stay safe!
Hey i bought one yesterday ... I am a bit confused ... When the expression pedal is pressed only then i am able to hear the patches ... when i take it back to heel position ... the sound is gone :/ and this is for all the 99 patches ? is there a way to fix it ?
That's how the expression pedal works - it control the volume for the patches. At toe position it's full volume and at heel position it's shut off.
Why would you want to change that? Do you want the EXP pedal to do something else??
The expression pedal can be assigned different fx. When you get to a patch use these to change assignment: Memory Edit - (use the 1 knob to move the effects chain cursor to PDL) and then use the Enter button (second button from right) and you'll have the option of changing the pedal function to these: Cry Wah, Vo Wah, Fat Wah, Light Wah, STR Wah, Reso Wah, and Pedal Bnd. If there isn't a Pedal FX assignment it defaults to a Volume Pedal. Use knob 3 to turn on or off in the effects menu chain. If you edit using the software by Boss it's also easy to change assignment in software.
Good day, I want to set clean sound with reverb(room) and little compression.then after that I can ON the OD Solo through CTL1 which Will contain delay and reverb different from the clean?
Hi there.

Yes, that can be done, by using the GT-1's assigns.

Right off the bat I don't think that will work.. Something tells me that the GT-1 won't be able to deliver/power the cabinet by itself..
I remember a question like yours, a while back, and seem to remember that it wouldn't work..
I would recommend that you reach out to Boss, and see what they can tell you..
Sorry I can't be of more help..
I haven't used the GT-1 like that, you see. I mainly use my GT-1 straight to my Studio Monitors or PA-speakers, when I'm on stage :-)
Let me know what you think.
Thank you for the kind words as well, I truly appreciate it!
The GT-1 is great, really! I have been gigging with mine ever since I got it!
Preamps and cabinets are fantastic and the effects are true Boss quality, as we know and love it!
Have a great weekend!
Thanks for sharing this video
Thanks it turns me to sleep
This unit shines when you use OD drives+Natural clean amp, and not the dirty channels of the other cab sims. Regarding Input calibration, one can simply keep the amp gain/volume level slightly above the bypass sound, for me i keep it gain 60, vol 70
Hi there!
Sorry for the late reply.
Thanks for your comment, I greatly appreciate it.
I agree, the Natural Clean amp is great, especially when paired with the OD/DS section.
I have several patches using that configuration.
However, I really like the Match Drive preamp model as well - it's really great.
When you say the "bypassed sound" are you then referring to the bypass mode of the Tuner, or??
Thinking about it, I believe only the preamp's level parameter should be adjusted, in regards to the "Input Calibration", because the gain will only make it "grittier", then volume parameter will adjust the overall volume of the preamp.
Let me know, it's a great topic, especially for a unit that doesn't have a dedicated way of setting the Input Calibration.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Hello! By bypassed i meant no effects/amps and master patch level only at 100 (50%) which i believe will be similar to "tuner" sound level (i have not checked yet). I am in agreement with you that gain wil only make the signal "dirtier" and will denifitely clip if recording via interface. I actually am planning to Upgrade to the Line 6 POD GO and hence selling my Zoom G3N but keeping my GT-1. In India (where i live) the Pod Go is ridicoulusly priced around 600USD. Oh yes i am making some patches using CTL1 and assigns to switch between Natural Clean amp and Matchless amp and other low/mid amps. I LEARNT THE ADANCED ASSIGNS SETTINGS FROM YOUR VIDEO ONLY!!!
Great set of videos you've made. Regarding using the 'Effect Return' channel (Ext FX) in an Amp (Marshall MG 50FX in my case), do I still need the PreAmp on GT-1? My setup at home will use the Marshall Amp but live performances will be straight to PA. I'm not sure If I should always leave the Output Select in GT-1 to Line/Headphones and work all my presets in the Marshall like that or I should use the Combo Return when connected to Amp and then switch to Line when connected to PA. Thanks !
Hey there, Yon Blanco!
Thank you for the kind words - and what a fantastic question to ask!
Connecting the GT-1 to your amp's effects loop return will basically allow you to use the GT-1 as you're doing through the PA. I would change the output select to combo amp return, when you're home and line/phones, when you're going through the PA. Your patches should be able to sound the same, since you're using the GT-1's preamps on both applications.
Let me know what you think :-)
Best wishes.
hi,thanks for your informative video.my question is:what if i plug my guitar to the gt1 and gt1 to a dibox and strait to the mixer,in a live gig?
Hi there.
Thanks for your comment and question, I greatly appreciate it.
That's exactly what I do, when I use the GT-1 live.
Make sure to set the GT-1's Output Select to Line/Phones.
For this setup you will need to use the GT-1's Preamp models, so scroll through them, and find your favorite ones.
I hope this helps.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Hello man, I would love to know how to set up a good sounding metal sound using the GT 1. I was planning on making some demos and had to fit a very tight budget. So ended up getting a GT 1. Because i dont have a reference and as i have not used any other multi fx, i dont know how to achieve a tight sound. Please help!
Hey there, Duct Tape!
Sorry for the late reply..
Hmm, I haven't done any metal sounds/patches... If you use the GT-1's onboard preamps/cabinets, then try some of the heavier preamp models, like the SLDN, 5150, Orange Rock, etc. They might be able to get you close.
If you use your own amp, then it's important to set it up to sound the way you want it to, and then add the desired effects from the GT-1.
Great vid. Thanks for sharing. Can you please help me to find the pitch shifter?!🙏 I’m searching for 2 days now🤪
Hey there, Mehmet.
Thanks for your comment and question, I really appreciate it.
The Pitch Shifter can be found in both the FX1 and FX2 effect blocks, in the signal chain.
Press the MEMORY-EDIT button, and scroll to find either FX1 or FX2, and use the TYPE parameter to scroll through the different effects in the FX blocks. The Pitch Shifter will be there.
Let me know what you think.
Best regards.
Hi..
I want to ask a question..
It can be used as audio interface too??
Like can I connect my guitar to bias fx via this processor ??
I replied to your question on another of my videos.
i have a roland cube street EX (10/20/50 watts depending the mode you choose) and a marshall mg15 cdr (15 watts). I should configurate the boss gt-1 on "small amp" or "combo amp"??
Hey there!
Thanks for your question :-)
I would set the GT-1 to Small Amp - on both of your amplifiers. They are not quite the size of a combo :-)
I hope this helps :-)
Cheers!
Hi - thanks for all that useful informations !
Will you please reveal the wisdom
how to get BIG PATCHNUMBERS in the display . . ?
I hope you can answer
carry on
Hi there,
I'm glad you found the video helpful and informative!
Simply press the ENTER-button, this will switch the screen display.
So - as a complete effects beginner - this is my plan.
After my GT1 unit arrives, I will first initialise the No. 1 user patch, and make it my own, with a name and all that.
Then, over the next few months I will live only inside this one patch. I will use it like a series of live stomp boxes and practise clean sounds as well as all kinds of distortions / effects, and combinations of various amps, ODs, effects, settings, etc. I will also try different settings on the wah pedal and ctrl button in the same patch. I will also try different outputs - to amp, computer etc. I will also try tones for different songs and song types.
Everyday, at the end of the day, I will save the patch. Next day I will modify and resume.
Once I have figured out a patch I like, I will “lock it” and save it. Then I will move to the next user patch No. 2 and start over, but by then I should have hopefully understood some basics of effects and the device itself.
Does this approach work?
Maybe this comment will help someone else
like me.
And, yes, thanks for all the super demos and advice.
Hi again!
Thanks for your comment.
Your approach is very good, it's important to get to know the effects and the unit itself.
Doing this will also give you an idea of what the individual effects will do and what it takes to dial in a good tone/patch.
Give it a good go, and let me know how the process goes.
Thank you for your kind words, they are greatly appreciated.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Great thanks. Will keep you updated. Cheers.
would this be a overkill for a intermidate player?
Not at all, the GT-1 is perfect for all sorts of player level!
I can highly recommend it.

What would be best settings if u have a favorite stomp box as a preamp,,, ie a Friedman BE-OD. To use with your GT-1
Hey there, Tony :-)
Well, I wouldn't really consider the BE-OD to be a preamp pedal.. It's basically an overdrive pedal, but with similar characteristics as a preamp.. You should treat the pedal as an overdrive pedal, and not a preamp pedal.
That being said, I would place it before the GT-1 - like this:
Guitar --> BE-OD --> GT-1 --> amplifier/headphones/PA, etc.
That would be the best placement :-)
Hope this helps! Otherwise let me know!
Cheers :-)
Hi, very detailed and informative, if your in to all of this, witch I am not so this is why I'm seeking
your help, Just bought GT-1 plucked into a Pedal Steel guitar to a Peavy Transformer 112 amp,
don't know if you are familiar with the very clean, deep, mellow kinda sound common to a Pedal steel but this
is what I'm struggling to achieve cos I have no idea where to start setting up the GT-1, maybe you can come up with
a setting to help me out. thanks
Eric, thanks for your comment, I appreciate it!
Well, you should be able to get something useful for your pedal steel guitar, I'm sure.
First of all, make sure you have selected the appropriate OUTPUT SELECT. Since you're using the Peavy 112, I assume your basically plugging into the front of the Peavy, right?
If this is the case, then set the OUTPUT SELECT to COMBO AMP.
When that is done, make sure you have a nice tone/sound going on the Peavy. You will basically have to establish that first, as your starting point. You know, your Peavy amp will be the 'base' of the whole patch - since the amp's giving you the clean sound. Adjust the EQ-knobs on the Peavy, dial in the reverb, and generally set it up, so you think it sounds good, or atleast close.
It may take several attemps, and a little time to think it all out.
When the Peavy is set up, I would start thinking about FX I might want to add.
Without knowing a whole bunch about pedal steel guitar tone, I believe something like a compressor, perhaps some delay and also an overdrive pedal could come in useful. Depends on the overall usage, of course.
How does that sound?
Try it out, and see what happens!
Let me know if there's anything else I can do - I'll be happy to help out!
Thanks & cheers! :-)
Great video! Enjoyed watching. I’m picking one of these up this evening and I wanted to kinda get familiar with basic start up. You touched on everything I was searching for. Thanks. Ps has anyone ever told you that you sound like Elon Musk? I could’ve swore that’s who I was listening to. 😂
Thank you so much for your comment, I greatly appreciate it!
Please do let me know if you need anything else.
Haha, I've actually heard that a few times before!
Have a great day.
Cheers.
One thing I learned was you can bypass an amps tone control by plugging the gt1 directly into the return of the effects loop of your amp. It really makes the gt1 pop imho. Too bad you can't run time based effects through an effects loop
Hey there, Zach!
Thanks for your comment and words.
Exactly, using the Effects Loop Return is a great way of using the GT-1, and its onboard Preamp Models.
I've done that in the past, but have now switched to running it direct to the PA/Mixer - which is pretty much similar.
Mhmh, we're really missing an Effects Loop.. I've had that thought as well..
Just move the time based fx at the end of the signal chain after the pre-amp inside the gt-1 software. Has the same effect.
@@chrisfit Thank you! I'll give it a try now
@@MrZachalewel - The Time-based effects should already be placed after the Preamp, inside the GT-1. It should be like that default from the factory. That's the "usual" layout.
Cheers.
Can I use this without amp by just connecting processor and guitar with headphones?
Hi there,
Yes, the GT-1 can be used as a stand-alone processor, so via headphones is a great option.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs thank you my g ❤️
Switch the output to headphones before you do it! I can't believe how good the headphones actually sound on this. It's the best sound using headphones I've ever heard.

Hello, Lukas.
Thanks for getting in touch. I'm sorry for the late reply...
In your case you should use the GT-1's PREAMP models and Speaker Types - along with its effects, of course.
I would start by listening to the records, and pay attention to what's going on with the guitar(s).
A quick Google search is also helpful, and there are perhaps some gear reviews.
I would start there, if that makes sense.

I can not assign the patches for example (tera echo) and others.

Thanks very much for support
Assign patches? Do you mean that you want to assign certain patches to the different footswitches??
If that's so, then it's not an option... But by using the available assigns you can have most of what you want, all in one patch, if that's what you want :-)

Excellent video. I'm a hobbyist who plays at home and don't intend on playing live at bars or whatever and I really like this multi-effects processor. I pair this with my Yamaha Pacifica PAC112J and Gretsch Jr. Jet Club 2215 P-90 and it gets me close enough sounding tones and effects to play all my favorite songs mostly 90s- early 2000s alternative rock.

How many watts are the Mustang amp?? :-)
Cheers!
Thanks for your response... that´s a 20W amp...
Then I would set the OUTPUT SELECT to SMALL AMP :-)
Make sure the PREAMP-button on the GT-1 is turned off.

Hello. İ want to take sound via my computer speakers. So i plug in my guitar into the gt1 input. And i plug the gt1 to my pc with usb cable. But there is no sound. İs there any settings about it on gt1 and on pc? İs that possible taking sound from pc speakers just with usb cable connection? Thanks.
Hey there, Levent Toykar 😊
Thanks for your comment and question - I appreciate it.
Your connections are correct, nothing wrong there.
Right off the bat I don't believe it's possible to output the sound from the GT-1 through your laptop's speakers - if you're using a laptop. Any form of external speakers should be good to go for that set-up.
Though, you can try, once the GT-1 is connected via USB, to go to the sound-icon, the lower right corner, on your laptop's desktop, and see if you can change the output for the GT-1.
Try it out, and see what happens.
Let me know if you need anything!
Have a great day.
Cheers.
Can you upload effects onto it from the interwebs?
Hi.
You can download patches for the GT-1, yes. You can not load in IRs, or other effects, only patches.

Enjoying the GT-1, or?
Hi, first of all I want to thank you for this video that has helped me a lot in understanding and using my GT-1. However, I have a problem that I can't figure out how to solve. Every time I assign the "FX2/Mod" button to the CTL1 switch, it deactivates the delay in the patch when "CTL1" is turned off. I know it's not easy to explain, so I'll try to give an example. I've created a patch with OD/DS, FX2/MOD, DELAY, and REVERB. Whatever I try to assign to the CTL1 button (whether it's a Wah or a new FX2/MOD effect), it turns off the delay on the "first channel." How is this possible? How can I resolve it? I hope I've explained myself as best as possible... thank you...
Hi,
Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad you found my video helpful!
There must already be an Assign set up to turn OFF the delay, so I would check the Assign and CTL menus, to see if that's the case.
If that doesn't solve the problem, then I would Initialize the particular patch, and simply start from scratch.
I hope this helps.
Let me know.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Mate, I banged my head on that for weeks, and you solved everything in a minute. You're truly incredible.

I picked up a used GT-1, downloaded the manual and read it several times. I am using a Fender Twin Reverb Tone Master, so I set my output for combo, and turn off the preamp. Next, I set my output levels where I would like them, then push write, enter, select where I want it to go to user 1. Then I name it, push enter and initialize it. It goes to my User screen at User 1 and sounds FANTASTIC!!! Then I go back and do the same for my next effect. It also sounds fantastic at U2. But when I go back to my first setting U1, the levels
from User 2 have taken over the levels I set for User 1. What am I doing wrong? Please help me!!!!!!!!!

Hi, I would like to ask you a question, forgive me if it was already asked, is it possible this multi effect processor to be plugged directly in a laptop without any other amplifiers or anything and how exactly?
Hey there 😊
Thanks for watching, and thanks for your question - I appreciate it.
Yes, that's possible, if you use the USB out from the GT-1 to the USB port on your computer.
That way you can use the GT-1's onboard preamps, all the effects and be able to record your playing to your laptop, etc.
Just make sure the GT-1 driver is downloaded, and that you have Boss Tone Studio on your PC as well - for editing the effects, etc.
I hope this makes sense.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Cheers.
Thank you very much for the fast answer, I actually am planning on maybe buy this product, and because I can't afford both amplifier and effects and sth that send that all to the laptop , I need sth that I can use directly on the laptop. Can I ask you also , is there any change in the sound, I have this program Adobe Audition , will it work with this program or should I have this Boss Tone Studio?
@@jamesassya - You are very welcome - I'm always happy and ready to help out.
I totally understand your situation, and the GT-1 is exactly what you're looking for!
It's a great piece of gear, and the effects and preamps/cabinets are superb, and it's easy to create your own patches.
I would highly recommend the GT-1, and I would also happily help you out, if you decide to buy one 😊
I'm not familiar with Adobe Audition, but I can see that it's a recording program, also called DAW (digital audio workstation) which is what you'll need, so that should work out perfectly. However, you will still need the GT-1 driver, to make the Adobe Audition locate the GT-1. Boss Tone Studio is optional, and you won't need that for recording. Tone Studio is only for editing patches, creating new ones, etc. instead of doing it on the GT-1 itself 😊
Also, the sound you'll get will be excellent, no compromise! Boss makes quality stuff, and I would trust them, with anything!
I hope this helps
Let me know what you think.
Best regards.
Thank you for the detailed answer, just one more question if I may bother you, this GT-1 driver, where we are getting it form? Is it coming with the store package or we have to look for it after buying the product? Thanks in advance for the answer.
@@jamesassya - No problem, ask away 😊
The GT-1 Driver is found on Boss' webpage. Simply search "Boss GT-1 Driver" on Google, etc. and the site should show up.
There are instructions there as well - so read them, to fully understand things.
It will all be on the Boss webpage, no extra charge, just simple and easy.
Thanks a lot for all your videos about GT1. I found them very very helpful!!
I'm going to buy a GT1 soon, just a question: which power supply do you use or do you suggest to buy?
Andrea, thanks for your comment, and thanks for your kind words. I truly appreciate them! :-)
You made a great choice of going for the GT-1! You won't be disappointed!
I highly suggest that you use the Boss/Roland power supply - the Boss PSA230S or PSA230S2.
You should only buy a power supply that's made by Boss, because those will fit the unit, and not cause any damage to them :-)
I hope this he,lps you - if not, then let me know :-)
Regards.
Thanks a lot for the correct name you wrote me! I wasn't able to find it anywhere.
Anyway some people suggested me the TrueTone 1 Spot power supply that seems to be the best. 1 Spot is it even more powerful and the price is the same of Boss.
What do you think about it?
If you go to the Boss/Roland webpage, and find the GT-1, then click Accessories, then it should be there :-)
It might also be called PSA-120S, if you're in USA.
I guess the 1 Spot would be able to do it.. I haven't used one, so I can't really tell properly..
Just make sure to check the requirements of the 1 Spot, and make sure it matches the requirements of the GT-1 :-)
I would always use the Boss compatible one. That way I know I'm giving the unit the power it needs :-)
Many thanks for your precious suggestions!! I'll think about it.
You are very welcome, Andrea :-)
Feel free to get in touch, if you need anything else :-)
