BOSS GT-001 Guitar Effects Processor - Flagship GT Power On Your DeskTop

Product Information

You might not be though, and it’s going to come down to how much experience and creativity you have with the effects chain. I can play synthesizers, keyboards, guitar, bass, and provide English vocals to your project or band.

I think it’s fair to say that if you’re willing to sit and read the extremely long manual, or you have a background in audio devices like this, you are probably not going to face any issues here. Much of his working life, though, has been spent behind the mixing desk, during which time he has built up a solid collection of the guitars, amps and pedals needed to cover just about any studio session. BOSS tone central is a library service offering additional contents for many BOSS products, download the BOSS tone studio application for powerful editing software and connect to the internet to download any of the free contents from the ever growing collection. I do have rectifiers, marks and an uberschall and I feel the models are close enough for my entertainment - I have not compared directly.

You need to tell the unit which input you’re using (the mic input and the guitar input are selected separately, and cannot be used at the same time), then configure the input levels, then configure the USB output level, and set it up as a recording device on your PC or Mac, and… yeah this is gonna take a while. Another useful function is that you can use the four 'Favorite' buttons to control recording and playback functions in your DAW, if it supports the Mackie Control Universal protocol. For others, especially those not using a computer (although I’m not sure if it even affects the analogue outputs), this could be a serious issue.

Obviously it’s not the same as having an actual Orange preamp churning your guitar signal into something beautiful, but it’s an all-in-one designed to reduce the need for all this extra gear, and I think most people would have major issues telling the difference.Yes, that’s a shame, but the GT-001 does allow you to dial in the BPM to match your synth, sequencer, or in my case the Boss RC-202. For a while these were laughable: a range of 8-bit sounds and effects that sounded like someone got into a fist fight with a robot. It seems like everyone and their uncle has an all-in-one unit on the market now, and they all look pretty similar. If you just want access to the GT's modelled sounds without having a large floorpedal, Boss has introduced the GT-001, which takes all of the amps and effects found in the flagship GT-100 Version 2.
