@@Izya__ I was never 100% happy with the amp sounds on the Stomp. IMHO, Boss GT's amps sound better - even in the stock presets. The Core, in general, is easier to dial in than the Stomp. I know: big shock lol. Of course it's all very subjective. Your mileage may vary 😊 Cheers
Thank you soooo much for spending some time with the CORE. I use it because I'm a latency snob, but there's not as much discussion about patches for it as the HX and Fractal stuff. I wish BOSS would add synths to it. With my live presets I'm using the same amp and cab on all of them, set to stompbox mode so settings change across all patches, I use different chains of eq, compression and drive before the amp model but using the same amp/cab kind of keeps it in line so it's not all over the place when I switch presets.
Great to see you using one of these again, I took a leap of faith and sold most of my pedals and bought one about a year ago. I'm really happy with it and I think it sounds terrific, the interface is the weakest point but it's not terrible, it just takes some learning. I don't know if it's underrated or not as a unit but it's been a great fit for me. I have a SY-200 running into one of the inserts, and an RC-5 after it and I have a hard time thinking of a sound that I can't get.
I sold my Kemper and FM9 for a GT 1000 Core. Figured it'd be good enough and super tiny for practice. I actually PREFER the tones I get vs the Kemper and Fractal stuff.
I don’t own the GT1000 but I’ve played it. I have owned the helix and FM3 and I would agree that the boss tones can be excellent and are easier to achieve than either the fractal or helix. The boss definitely had a more immediate feel to me anyways. Any time I fired up the helix or fractal I was guaranteed to spend 20-30 minutes pressing buttons and turning knobs rather than playing.
@@ibanezman1025I have a Helix Floor and a GT1000 Core. Happy to love both. For specific reasons.Of having two separate rigs. The Helix took all those updates for me to finally just enjoy it.
Beautifull tones and great unit. I own a full fat floor GT and though I'm not really good at dialing tones yet, I'm really excited and happy to hear experienced players being able to get those superb sounds out of it and sharing them. Thx for your vids, particularly on Katana and GT. I've got a Katana mk2 100w, too and love it just as the GT.
I have some limited experience with the HX Stomp and I do like the layout but I'm certainly drawn to this Boss unit. I hope you do more with it in the future.
GT-1000 core is indeed underrated. The only thing to me that lacks is the UI. If you put Boss' unit with Line6's interface, to me it would put it over the top. The only other nitpick is it needs balanced outs.
I can only tell you what I am hearing coming thru my computer altec speakers, I do not hear that upper fizzyness that i always hear when or with your helix posts. ''this is much cleaner sounding NICE singing lead sound. without the Junk sound. Marshall sounded Great!!!
After using GX for almost a year, I cannot imagine working without touchscreen anymore. Looks so much colorful and interesting than GT screen. anyway, these are great sounding units as well.
I am very happy with my GX100. I wonder to myself, "Could the Helix or the QC really be 3 times as good for 3 times the price?" Maybe I will get a Big Sky to free up some DSP and stop there.
@marcinwyc thanks. I get compliments on my tone when I play out, and other musicians are shocked to find out what I'm using. They are more shocked when I tell them th3 gx100 is $600.

Thanks! For someone like myself, this is greatly appreciated (beginner, not much time to explore tones, hardware). I can use such presets and concentrate on improving my playing!
Thanks a lot for all the vids on this pedal which I find super useful/informative . I tried out your tones ( downloaded them) yesterday . I get a very different sound ( way more gain) partly because I’m using a different guitar , but I think it’s mainly related to the input level setting . It looks like yours is low ( or very low ? ) . Anyway you are getting a much better sound than me with that patch :-)Any info on this would be super helpful. Cheers
Is the 32bit not the audio dynamic range rather than the processing power? 32bits being more values to represent a samples magnitude as apposed to 24bits.
@@PainterDans When talking about audio equipment the sampling format is more important than the processor since a 16bit processor can process 32bit audio in the same way that a 32bit process can process 128bit integers. The Boss GT1000 may very likely be using a 32bit processor but that is not important to musicians. What is important is the ability to process high quality audio without losing precision, this is the 32bit audio in the same sense that a DAW uses 32bit.
Still listening to the video, so you may answer this already, but how does this seem to compare to the GX-100 in terms of processing power? number of blocks / parallel paths etc?
Agreed. I used the GT-100 for years, then the GT-1 + SY-300. Upgraded to the GT-1000 and SY-1000. Recently sold the GT-1000. The SY-1000 has much of what I need/want from the GT-1000, and more - with/without the GK pickup. Cheers!
Thanks new one coming I'm lost ,but do understand synth stuff mastered the GR 55 amp modeling n keyboards in GR 55, can't wait to see these cuz I have enjoyed the GR 55 Amp modeling, mite have to try these really nice sounding..
The problem with the core and the GT-1000 is that they are stuck with only one reverb block and one master delay block. The GX is supposed to be an answer for that, however it seem the GX is running with a lower DSP than the GTs.
I’ve followed Boss products for over 20 years, so I get the difference, but seeing how giggable each is or which is easier to set up… there are some video ideas.
am i crazy to want to pair one of these with an HX stomp? I'm loving the helix sounds and UI, but I still use it with a DD500, so a gt1000 to get most of the 500 series sounds would be pretty great.
Hello John. Thank you for the great content. I have read numerous comparisons of the HX Stomp and GT 1000 Core. Generally speaking, the HX Stomp tends to win in terms of ease of use while the GT 1000 Core gets the nod in terms of feel due to its extreme low latency. Would you agree with this comparison? Now that you have extensive experience with both units, would you rate them as more less equal overall? Or is the HX Stomp still a clear winner?
Really organic sounding lead tones. I recently traded my GT100 for a Helix Floor, and I'm wondering whether I made a mistake. I recently listened back to some live recordings I made with the GT100, and the lead sound was great. Haven't put the Helix through its paces yet to see if I can replicate that sound
I'm 5 years now into the helix lineup and 4 years into the lower end of the BOSS world all the pre AIRD stuff. In terms of user interface the helix is still light years ahead, BUT after a hell of a lot of experimentation I must give BOSS their due. Parked the Helix till just yesterday and have been perfectly happy with BOSS in all their Air series. It is a bit of a love hate thing getting your head around some of the BOSS ways of thinking but sonically it just sits so well. Massively underated in every way this stuff. The gapless switching and some of the ways they organize things is really inspiring . Shame about these displays. In high sunlight it does work well which is a plus but I'd still swerve towards the GX for usability as an all in one.
I have this unit. I also have a ton of other gear. I have NEVER used a "preset" out of the box on any unit. I've owned a raft of rack stuff and a ton of pedals still do. The presets on these units never sound right to me. I created my own presets they sound like my amps. Marshalls, Friedmans, 5150, Fenders etc.
It actually does sound quite nice. If my hx ever packs up I'd thing about one of these, I'm a bit iffy on that signal path business though. Is it an issue for you?
@@TJauernigElectronics do you find it's not flexible though? Like, what if you wanted say, a compressor at the start but then wanted to try it in different places?
@@Crabfather you can move the block around to any order and there are 3 possible parallel branches. What's fixed isnt the order but the function of certain blocks. There's a compression block that's always there (you can leave it off, but it's always there) and 2 drive blocks, 4 delays plus one fancier delay block. The function of those blocks can't be changed but they can moved around in position. Then there's 3 "FX" blocks which contain the modulation, filters, harmonizer, octave, etc. Those can ALSO be set to compression and drive if you need more than 1 comp and 2 drives. I generally don't run out of blocks but it's messy to look at, all the blocks in the chain even if they're turned off, there's always gonna be 5 delays and 4 eqs in the chain somewhere.

I had a GT1000CORE before my Quad Cortex and I can definitely confirm that the perception of latency is better on the Boss device.
It’s a great unit and horribly underrated. Great tones John!
I've been using HX Stomp for 4 years. Recently I've got GT-1000 Core. Bottom line: I put the HX Stomp for sale, keeping the Core.
can you explain please?
I use CORE and the big GT-1000, but was thinking of adding Stomp (or maybe just an M5) for the synth sounds and extra reverb.

nice playing brother
I find i get way more better tone on it than on my fm3 mostly because of latency i think
So dumb question but is this best played through the clean channel on an amp or is it best to use monitors?
Sounds best through an amp with a real cab, but I can get very close with an IR and pa speakers

Can I get Holdsworth tones out of the GT-1000?
BOSS multieffects will always be a lot of fun … I’m not buying one and yet here I am watching the video 😂
Bitrate doesn't lower latency, sample rate does. So higher sample rates cause less latency. But this comes with more CPU usage.
Even the GX-100 and GT-1 have ultra-low latency!
why do i hear a better tone right about 6:23 than any other units i've heard on this channel?
Subjective.
I think John has played a ton of great sounds.
It sounds amazing, but the signal chain is too restrictive and obtuse.
are direct on PA ?
It actually does sound quite nice. If my hx ever packs up I'd thing about one of these, I'm a bit iffy on that signal path business though. Is it an issue for you?
The signal path has plenty even with the the few small limitations. I’ve never come close to needing more slots.

Pro tip: Never hold heavy objects directly over your guitar you may drop something and damage the instrument. You're welcome.
Yeh - a Blues Deluxe, Blues Junior or Hot Rod are all super plentiful in the UK and I'm not convinced that the Tonemaster is a better sounding amp?
