    The Boss GT1 is (I think?) just about the cheapest Modeler that you can buy. I wanted to see how easy it is to use, and whether you can get decent tones out of it. It also is a USB interface, has a looper on board....I dunno. The screen is a bit on the outdated side vs the Nux MG30 or Valeton which are a bit more expensive but a bit more modern feeling UI wise?

      With all the new IR loaders out these days, or as a simple front end to laptop this can be worked around. You ever tried the TC Impulse pedal? Has a really great boost and a fun little screen to play with. The cheapest gear I know of that does load IR’s would be that Cuvave little Cadbury’s bar style modeler. But I dunno I think this little box could be gigged. Great fun messing with it.

    I've been using the Boss GT-1 since it very first came out, and I still use it to this day. This unit has NEVER let me down, I've used it on countless gigs, running straight to the PA/Mixer and for recording - it's great.
    The important aspect of getting any effects unit to sound good, and perform its possible best, is to set it up properly, before doing anything else.
    The Output Select has to match the equipment you're connecting the GT-1 to, and the best patches you can get, are the ones you learn to create yourself. The Factory Presets can be good for a short while, as you learn to dial in effects and parameters, but creating your own patches will allow this unit to really shine through.
    There are plenty of options and possibilities and only your imagination sets the limit.
    For what it is, the GT-1 is an excellent piece of gear!
    If anyone's interested, I run a dedicated Boss GT-1 TH-cam Channel, with many tutorials and sound samples.

      Do I need a DI box to connect it directly to the Mixer?

    • @GuitarNTabs
      @GuitarNTabs ปีที่แล้ว

      @@yukiamerica - No, not necessarily. If you're fairly close to the mixer, when performing, playing or rehearsing then you can simply connect the GT-1's outputs to the channels on the mixer.
      The point where you might need a DI is when you're placed further away from the mixer, running longer cable runs, this can cause degradation of the signal and your EQ-spectrum.
      Personally, when I play live, I always run my pedalboard through the DI and to the mixer, and I've never had an issue with that.
      I hope this helps.
      Please do let me know if you need anything else.

    "It sounds like me."
    EXACTLY! For $200 new & half that used, it's an amazing sounding & very capable piece of gear. You can dial in **anything** to sound bad, from this to the highest dollar rig you can find, tube or otherwise. There ARE pro-level sounds in this unit, it's up to YOU to learn the unit(not hard at all) & dial em in according to your guitar, playing style, etc. Josh Munday's videos released when the GT-1 was first introduced are an excellent starting point, or end point, if they suit your scenario.
    Tip: using Audacity(freeware recording program), take a "visual snapshot" of a guitar tone with the frequency spectrum analyzer. Highlight a portion of a song, preferably with the guitar isolated, then analyze it. This will give you an exact frequency 'roadmap' that you can then use to dial in the EQ in the GT-1 to achieve a certain tone. Nowadays there is software that will do this FOR you, but here's how to do it yourself for FREE on your computer.

    It's been two years since I acquired a Boss GT-1 on the used market, here in Brazil. I was in a difficult phase and couldn't spend a lot (not that I'm in a good phase now, financially speaking), but anyway, at that time it was what I could acquire to make a sound.
    Recently, a Mooer GE200 and a Hotone Ampero One (both used products) passed through my hands. Even though both had excellent features, mainly amp modeling, I passed them on and continued with the GT-1.
    Today, I use the Boss GT-1 for my modulations, delays and reverbs. My overdrive, fuzz and amp modeling comes from analog/digital pedals. But I confess that I often find myself using only the GT-1.
    I really like the features it provides. The tuning drop system is excellent, as is the feedback function. I also love the wah wah and whammy, things I didn't like on the GE200 and Ampero One.
    Amplifier and cabinet simulation are not plug and play. You have to turn a lot of knob to get a good sound. High Gain I only got using an equalizer, which makes me use one of the modulation blocks (could have a global EQ)... But even so it's a solid product and way ahead of its time when released.
    I'm definitely going to buy some other multi-effects in the future, but the GT-1 will still be here, with me.
    Cheers from Brazil.

    I've had a GT1 for three years and it's great. It does everything I need more than well enough. Runs four hours on four rechargeable batteries. Fits in my gig bag pocket. Added a small two button switch some pedal maker on Reverb built for more flexibility. The Tone Studio software if very similar to the Katana's so many of us know and is easy to use. It's small enough it's not cluttering up my house. I've used it hundreds of hours to practice at night with headphones. Once you set up a few basic patches you like, it's easy enough to copy and modify them for particular uses. But it's also difficult enough to use that you won't find yourself always messing with the modeler instead of playing. I know there are better modelers but I've never really needed more.
    Tip, turn off the LEDs for the footswitches to significantly increase the battery life. You can still tell what effects are on by the small red LEDs on the menu buttons.

    I've had the gt 1 for almost a year now, I use it for pretty much everything, practicing, gigs, busking and recording. I played a gig the other day plugging it into the mixing board and into the PA, i couldn't really tell the difference between using an amp except that it's way more portable and it has so many tones to choose from and you can edit them however you want.

  • @miko-miko
    @miko-miko ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I’ve been using one for a couple of years. I use it in “pedal board” mode where I have a basic sound (Clean Twin) with a little reverb and delay, the left button is a clean boost (an EQ with everything set flat but a volume kick), the middle button is modulation (I have three identical patches except one has chorus there, one has tremolo, and one has Leslie), with the third button being fuzz (which also turns off the reverb). The volume pedal turns into a vintage wah if I stomp on it. I bought it for travelling but, frankly, it’s worked so well that I use it for most gigs I play-I only pull out the Deluxe Reverb in the studio. It’s that good.

    I have a GT-1 for a while now and I like the clean sounds very much, the amp Natural Clean and the Blues Driver are very good, but with heavy sounds I think it aways sound a little bit harsh, even with EQ. Maybe its only a matter with the speakers simulation that could be solved with an IR loader.
    But, as you said, it is a great choice, especially in places that guitar gear are over expensives like here in Brazil where I live.

    I got one of these this summer and it actually punches HUGELY above its weight. This is the same as the pocket GT, yet you’ve got direct access to the whole chain and can actually do a huge amount with the assigns or a dual momentary switch. Biggest draw for me is that this thing runs on AA batteries, pulls next to nothing and fits in just about any bag. Like most boss stuff there is a good degree of preset spillover, so unlike the stomp you can flick through presets without gaps.
    For the price, this thing is actually a beautiful little DSP bump to the hxstomp. Pairs extremely well with helix. You may want to give the pocket GT a look at, these two are fully compatible which is rare for boss, and you’ll find an absolutely massive community of users around the world. Great little pedal platform too.

    I have one of these as well as a HX Stomp. I like them both, but find it much quicker and easier to dial in a tone on the Boss GT-1. I always find myself tweaking the patches on the Stomp as there are just far too many parameters, and find it much harder to get a tone I'm happy with. The same process just seems so simple to me with the GT1.
    You should try the Tera Echo on the GT-1. It's a nice ambient effect which I think you'd enjoy. It also has a hold feature which you can assign to a footswitch.

      I did this, I used a Mojo Mojo drive pedal with the GT1 for delay and reverb and it sounded great. You can't insert the drive pedal into the GT1 chain though, it either goes at the start or the end. Or you can run the GT1 through the FX loop of your amp and drive straight in.

    I have a G3n that I use for Acoustic guitar as it was cheeper to buy second hand than a tuner. The sounds are good enough, I just find the UI and layout a constant frustration.

    If you’re looking for good and cheap option you should definitely check out Zoom G3X ( the older version with the three big screens ). It has got decent sounds with a nearly Helix floor like usability.
    There was a channel dedicated to it but I don’t know what happened to the guy. He suddenly stopped posting videos.

    I own this, and also the Zoom G3Xn. They are both great, but make sure to set them up properly first, or you'll be disappointed. Oh, and the G3Xn also has a fun drum kit section! 🥰

    the only thing that i dislike about most low-mid range modellers is they all come with an expression pedal, i really dont want it, ability to use a external controller is a must, but it just takes up too much space when i dont really want it on most units

    • @AlecBourneMidiMadScientist
      @AlecBourneMidiMadScientist ปีที่แล้ว

      Use the pocket GT, same brain, some really cool TH-cam integration and mapping to a wireless footswitch or exp for when you want it and the thing fits in your shirt pocket. It really seems to have been a bit of a sleeper product but give it a day messing with it and you’d start to see the potential. The whole signal chain can be manipulated around and it is gapless, even has a tuner without needing to pull up an app.

    It sounds pretty good. I just want to point out that it’s so stupid/annoying that Boss puts the Tera Echo as a delay on this unit, and on their other delay units, but then in the GT-1k they put it in the Reverb block. Also, I believe the main difference between this and the GT-1k is that you don’t have the 3 signals in it to create parallel paths, or do you? The processing sounds a little cheap as well compared to the GT-1k.

    That’s the thing with the Gt1 - out of the box it’s not actually all that great. But if you sit down with it for a while and tweak it you can get some very useful usable tones 👍

  • @Malediction99
    @Malediction99 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had one of these for a while when I was getting back into guitar after a loooong hiatus and didn't want to spend a lot of money in case I didn't stick with it. This plus a BlackStar HT5 (I bought a Mk I for the same price as a Katana 50 as the Mk II had just come out) got me really nice tones that were really inspiring to play with for not a lot of money at all. If you're on a really tight budget I highly recommend them.

    GT-1 was the same tech as tech as the GT-100.
    I replaced my GT-100 with a GT-1 so I could reduce the size with my SY-300. Replaced the GT-1 with GT-1000 and SY-300 with SY-1000, still have the GT-1 and SY-300.

      You want line to feed to a mixing board or to an amp effects return loop. Phones I would suspect means headphones.

    I have had a GT1 for around 4 years now and it’s a great bit of kit…..I think that too much is made of effects. A good player will sound great with an average guitar absolutely amp…….All the kit in the world won’t turn you into a better player…..once you get to a decent standard then you can worry about effects.
