  • In this video, I take a blank patch on the Boss GX-100 and show how simple it is to create a high-gain guitar tone.
    Ever since I received the Boss GX-100 Ive been utterly blown away by the great tones and the simple yet fully featured Boss GX-100.
    Here is what Boss says about the BOSS GX-100
    Fusing advanced BOSS tone technologies into a sleek, ultra-modern hardware design, the inspiring GX-100 delivers top-level performance everywhere you play. Explore 23 AIRD amplifiers and over 150 effects derived from the flagship GT-1000, and craft great sounds in seconds with the intuitive color touch display. Up to 15 simultaneous effect blocks provide unlimited tone possibilities, coupled with deep real-time command via onboard footswitches, an expression pedal, and external control support.
    The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.

    I enjoy these videos, you have a great way of explaining things. A few weeks ago you were extolling the GT-1000 Core, now you seem to have switched to the GX-100 exclusively, but presumably the comments and setup of the patch in this video apply equally well to GT-1000.

    Hey Paul, all of your tutorial videos are exceptional, but I have a question. I'm using my GX-100 direct through the PA at my church for Praise & Worship except it just sounds bad! We've tried "gain staging" but it still sounds bad. Someone suggested I may need to turn off the amp simulation in the unit. Is that a viable option and is it possible? Thanks again for sharing all your knowledge.

Love the multiple guitar input setups as my go-to guitar is a Carvin DC150 and just got a Kiesel with Lithium pickups that are very hot. Do you know if Boss came up with any easy way to copy sounds between their products vs. recreating everything manually?

    @isaacisback8786 Рік тому

    Hello,
    Thanks for that : very instructive but, if I may, just two little questions :
    Is it possible to mix bass amps and effects with guitar amps and effects, whether it be on a single chain or a divided one ? Like, if I want to use a bass comp and distortion but with a guitar amp, or use a divider block to run parallel a bass amp and a guitar amp with matching speakers on both, is it doable ?
    Then, in case of divided chain, can I get each one on a different out so that I can record each on a different track simultaneously on my daw (and, then, getting the clean path on one track and the distorted one on another, for example) ?
    Thank you.

I'm trying to find a way to get the right harmonization for the (2nd solo), but there's always a wrong note : it's important to notice that we play detuned (Eb Ab,...etc); so instead of G we play it Gb ....can you help me find the solution ? Thanks a lot

    • @TheStudioRats
      @TheStudioRats  Рік тому

      Hi Vince, if it’s not diatonic, the only way to do this is to have a patch change when you hit that note. Or to have the controller pedal to change the pitch when you hit that note.
