The best function of this unit is easy edit. You can virtually get any sound you need in just few turns of the knobs. Surprisingly no one seem to mention or demo this on UA-cam.
That's a good point. I've not played around with it too much but have seen for example some boss blog articles that tell you easy mode settings to use for different characteristic sounds!
@@TheFasterxxx you select general style (clean, rock, metal etc) with one knob, effect (vibrato, flanger, chorus etc) with second knob, and echo/reverb with the third one. Based on your selection gt1 chooses most suitable amp simulation, effects, settings etc, so you don't have to spend long time playing with settings for each individual effect. Most of the time you'll get the sound you need or at least be very close to it.
got mine but the tuner is out of tune a little bit low, i cant adjust it tho coz its knob 1 & 3 is damage not functioning good, i will try to spray these knob with wd40
Thanks for pointing out the "wildly varying output levels" between patches. Line 6 does the same thing. You are paying for those presets, they aren't a gift. It all goes into the finished price. It's inexcusably shoddy production quality and an unfinished product. Factory presets are generally crap anyway, but they should at LEAST be normalized to a standard range, so that there is never more than 5 dB (or even less) between them.
great review! Definitely had some frustration within the first hour of setting up a patch as a stompbox but getting past the learning curve was definitely worth it
Good review, only mention I wanted to make was the pedal works really great in the four cable method and I also really enjoy plugging it directly into the FX return of my amp. When I run it directly into the effects return it gives you the ability to have wildly different amp sounds using the preamps on board the unit.
Good video. I started with the GT1, have a few other things, now a GX100, but just bought a used GT1 because it sounds great, does a lot, but most importantly fits in the pocket of my gig bag. This will be my take to practice board and the GX for gigs. You probably should have mentioned Tone Studio since with the GT and now the GX or the Katana, I never touched the dials and did all the presets on the computer, save and go.
I own this again (made a comment a year ago) and I've finally figured it out and gotten used to it. The problem for is that when changing guitars, I need to adjust the amp settings a little bit. The EQ, the gain. It's not easy to access at all. I know how now but it's far too many steps. There should be a button right there along with the "comp, OD, preamp" etc which allows you to quickly have the basic tone settings on the screen and adjustable by those three knobs. I love the sound of this thing and the power it has, but its accessibility is its Achilleas heel. It doesn't have to be this way. When they inevitably release the (GX-1?) AIRD version of this soon, I hope they address that. In the meantime, I've upgraded my ME-80 to the ME-90 and am very happy with it. The GT-1 is a novelty for when I have a lunch break in the office.
Thank you for this video! I'd like to add my thoughts here. Tone shaping is the journey of a life time. What I mean by that is it takes a lot of skill and effort to learn, understand and execute DSP in the way it sounds on each system - Tube Amp, Modeling Amp or MultiFX modelers like these. These are not cons really, that is how a system works even if it was done via pedals - it would be the same thing - time needs to be invested to get the right tone. For playing immediately, there are factory presets and Boss Tone Exchange to download and get started immediately.
Hello @Nish to the Point thank you for the video i am about to buy this one and as a beginner this is quite overwhelming but i just know it's gonna be worth it! I was honestly just looking for a good distortion pedal cause that's basically all i needed i wanted to just switch between clean and distortion isntantly but then i found this which can do that and 100+ other things!
Late to the party here but just wanted to compliment on a job well done! Best GT1 video on YT! I saw in one of your comments that you no longer have the unit. May I ask why you decided to get rid of it?
Thanks so much! I think I was moving and had a clear out. But also I just enjoy buying and selling to test gear out! I think I would definitely return to buy it if I get back into electric guitar.
Nice review Nish, I'm using a Boss ME25 and I love the sounds it makes, but it’s built like a flippin TANK. At 30cm across it’s the same size as the GT1 but 'robust' is an understatement, the case is made of solid steel. What I'd like would be Boss quality sounds in a much lighter package. I know the GT1 is built out of plastic, but you didn't say how heavy is it?
It is quite light, maybe 1kg max. Not sure how much stomping the footswitches could take to be honest but it seemed pretty robust. Also a fan of the me series, had an me50 for a little while!
Boss got the balance spot on with this device, they are my favoured unit for sculpting guitar tones to die for, they can be used straight out of the box for beginners to noodle about with and are more than capable of producing tones that scare the shite outa brand amp purists, they can be used in chimp-mode or if the user is brave and knows how to sculpt and output via them they are virtual tone sorcery and ought to be kept under very strict lock and key security...I'm never selling or availing my parameter tweaks no matter the offer.
If you use the Gt1 Tonestudio software the editing is quite easy and logical…go forth install the software in a laptop plug in the usb cable it’s that simple!
If you're gonna use an amp this might be better/more versatile. I don't have much experience with virtual amps and plugins but I imagine that they are decent though might cost some more money!
Hmm that's a tough one, honestly I quite like the me series because you don't have to dive into menus to edit things. I'd only shoot for the gt1 if you want to save space or perhaps have even more control over signal chains (the me80 one is fixed in order if I recall) but both are solid options anwyay!
The GT 1 has the best if Rolands COSM amp sounds and is the last processor that features COSM . The next generation of Roland Amp modellers feature AIRD as found in the GT 1000
Do you mean the mg30? The mg300 seems a little simpler compared to gt1 in terms of number of foot switches, while the mg30 looks quite good - though I'm not 100% familiar with it's capabilities
I thought you were gonna have one of those hard to understand accent person. And I was gonna just pass over this video. I am pleasantly impressed with your voice and accent. Good tour of the GT1. Thanks. 👍🏽👍🏽
@@nish_ttp I have this pedal...it's good if you have a song that doesn't have that many changes. I perform with this alot. The effects is out of this world. Overtime my volume/wah pedal gave out from stomping down on it..to activate n wah. I learn the hard way dat its easy to break. I have trouble with volume all da time.
Yeah if I recall only some functions can be mapped to the arrow buttons others while the ct1 is more flexible. Could be worth looking at the footswitches boss sell to get more options
It isn't officially advised but you can use other 9V adapters, just make sure they have the required current (can't remember exactly but think it's 500ma)
question could I use a Roland EV5 expression pedal to control a cry baby [for example]. i usually sit when I play and like the unit close so an external expression pedal would work well for me on the floor. In the manual it only mentions Boss fs7 &6.
hello! Your content is amazing, I wonder if you will suggest me to buy boss gt1 or nux mg-400 as my first multi effect? I reckon that boss gt1 was released like 5 years ago and nux mg400 is quite new. I am not sure whose sound is better, or which one has more effects. It will be great if you can give me some advice on that. Thanks!
I am not super familiar with the nux but just from glancing at the IO it looks a tad complicated. As Jared says the Zoom G3XN / G3N is a good option and I'm considering it as my next as you have each effects options available without needing to access menus!
Excellent summary. As you say, it's a question of trading the power and flexibility against faffing around with adjusting and twiddling with the menus. Tbh it's not fun to use and takes time setting up that I'd prefer to use playing. Can the ME80 also be used with powered speakers in the same way, eg via quarter inch cables. Isn't that an issue with the ME80?
I tried one of these out years ago when they hit the scene. It kept locking up as i was editing it. I took it back to guitar center and they couldnt figure out the problem so they gave me another one, BUT that one did the same thing. Finally i said just give me a refund. JUNK !
I was wondering how you get infinite sustain on this processor? I saw it on another video that you can do it but the guy was speaking Spanish and I couldn't understand him. Could someone please help me out??
@@nish_ttp I just typed in "How do you get infinite sustain on my Boss gt 1. And then a bunch of videos came up and the one video I saw was"Dicas Boss GT-1-Feedback Sustain Infinito. It's 2:47 long and there's a young guy sitting down on a chair with his guitar speaking Spanish.

Hey Man , i have replaced the battery but after then the boss GT1 not turn on anymore with adapter and with battery its alarm low battery then its turn off . what should i do ?
Not a clue, might be an electrical fault in which case best to take it back where you bought it or contact boss. I would also try with a different power adapter to make sure the adapter is not the issue
difficult?! should I??? c'mon this is an easy one. no effects looping in pedals and weird toggles it has 10 buttons and 3 knobs, the HX stomp is hard to figure out, this thing is easy
If you want un-complicated and better sound, spend an extra $100 and get the Headrush MX5. I own both the Boss GT-1 and MX5, the MX5 is better in every way.
I'm VERY new at this...just purchased one and it IS complicated. The instruction manual isn't much to go on and other tutorials are well over my head. I'm trying to learn all I can before I even plug it in. "Nish to the Point's" video "dumbs it down" the best for me and others who aren't as accomplished as you apparently are. We all have to (and had to) learn sometime.🙂
@@janetsorensen3998 I'm by no means accomplished. I bought the Boss GT-1 because it is the least complicated of all the multi-effects pedals and I feel has the most tutorials. I went straight to video tutorials here. Have some patience. Ask yourself what is your first goal with this pedal. First thing I did was just scroll through the presets and played around with them. That's done by merely stepping on the left and middle buttons. Middle to scroll up, left down. Push both of those at once to get tuner, press both again to get out of tuner. If you haven't already done so load the software for editing, loading presets from Boss website and creating your own presets. Sounds like you just want to get started. There are some very good tutorials. Just decide what you want to do and perform a search for that particular task. Hope this helps.
@@janetsorensen3998 additionally the BOSSchannel channel and The Studio Rats channel are very good places to start. I haven't had the time to take a deep dive into this pedal but again, be patient sit down a your guitar, pedal and a media device/computer in hand and just slowly follow exactly what they do in the video. You'll surprise yourself I guarantee to you!
@@janetsorensen3998 btw, Janet I just re-read your comment that "I'm trying to learn as much as I before plugging it in". Dear that's like learning as much as you can about playing guitar before you pick one up. Don't be afraid. You can't mess it up
The sound on this one is too tiny and overly mid-rangey. I advise anyone reading this not to buy it. Try the Nux MG30 or Amperton. Same price range. You'll thank me later

Shouldn't need an adapter if it's a quarter inch jack. Though I'm not sure of compatibility issues

Editing your patches using your PC is much easier than through the pedal board itself.
It's true, but sometimes it's nice to be away from technology (apart from this pedal haha)
Could you compare with RC 500? Like a beginners (electric guitar and if you can remove and increase loops and about vocals?
I've got a review of the rc500 on my channel
I think it is a good combination, you put the gt1 before the looper and can use the effects on the guitar

@@janetsorensen3998 I'm by no means accomplished. I bought the Boss GT-1 because it is the least complicated of all the multi-effects pedals and I feel has the most tutorials. I went straight to video tutorials here. Have some patience. Ask yourself what is your first goal with this pedal. First thing I did was just scroll through the presets and played around with them. That's done by merely stepping on the left and middle buttons. Middle to scroll up, left down. Push both of those at once to get tuner, press both again to get out of tuner. If you haven't already done so load the software for editing, loading presets from Boss website and creating your own presets. Sounds like you just want to get started.
