I have set mine up to emulate my old Deluxe Reverb and Twin Reverb amps, and it sounds incredibly close though a PA for live work. Good video thanks.
I learned this lesson the hard way. I started playing during covid and i bought my GT1000 during the gear buying frenzy. I'd been playing maybe a year possibly less at the time. The GT 1000 is incredibly difficult and frustrating. I almost have up on it a dozen times but didn't because of how much i spent on it. I'm guessing most just gave up and returned it.
İ ordered GX100 and having a blast. Just wanted to thank you. Because youre the main reason... WE TRUST İN LEO. ... Keep the great content. Manys many thanks!! Cheers bro
You are really fun to watch. I love your friendly and extremely rational scientific perspective. You clearly quantify everything you present in the most specific unequivocal formalism. I have dealt with many professors and doctorates working with them on microbiological issues in the food industry and you seem to have much clearer thinking! Your attitude is accomadating and seems extremely humble considering your very gifted perspective. Just keep doing what you do. The world needs more like you and that would be an extremely tall order. Thank you. I always feel more enthusiastic about dealing with technical issues after just a few moments of listening to you. Great job!
Thanks so much Leo for another great, unbiased and accurate review. I always view your channel when wanting to find out more about a future purchase for myself. As far as I'm aware, nobody on you tube approaches their reviews as scientifically, accurately or informatively as yourself. You are a very talented musician and reviewer!
So essential, so professional - I really like this video. I am not a pro...or even "medium level" player. But still have some fun with guitar as hobby. In this case user interface is something that may affect my decision. So I am rather going for GX100. Thank you Leo - great review! I like reading other comments you may get some fresh advice other point of view - very helpful.
Thank you so much, I’m really happy that you like the video! yes I di agree, I appreciate the comments too…. really a source of info and opinions. thanks!
Now I have decided a 💯% to buy the Boss GX-100. Thank you for this comparison video of yours with precise and plenty of details. It saved me bucks at least.
Great review!! There is definitely a distinction between the two sonically. They are both great units although IMO the GX100 sounded closer to the Plexi more so than the GT1000. The GT sounded more hifi and I think its effects and soundstage are beneficial attributes of higher bit depth a sampling rate of its converters therefore slightly ahead of the GX, although I preferred the sonic flavour of the GX100 overall. The GX100 is a winner.
It is , as the saying goes "horses for courses". If you can pay the extra money for the GT then okay, but the GX gets most people where they want and knocks the Line 6 POD GO, and even the HX Stomp out the door imho.
Tonally, they seem so close as to be practically indistinguishable except under the most critical, isolated, and non-realistic tests listening to them back to back. The decision between them comes down to desired features for the individual application. The two that would be most important to me would be the user interface, which seems much better on the GX-100 and the ability to load multiple reverbs. I still can't believe Boss released the GT-1000 only being able to load a single reverb at a time. Some of us enjoy stacking multiple different reverbs (ie spring and hall together)
This is the best demo of the new GX that I have heard so far. Great head to head and your right, they definitely do not sound the same. I believe they both sound good though. Thanks for the info and video.
Great review as always. If I'm in the market for new gear, I want to hear what you have to say before I buy something. I agreed with your assessment, so similar it would be impossible to tell difference in a mix. If that's the case, buy the lesser priced one. It's odd manufacturers have decided to make 2 devices that are so similar (ie HeadRush) that would appear to steal sales from the higher priced unit. That's mainly why I bought a POD Go over a Helix. I just didn't need some of the higher priced unit's feature set. Great to have choices though! God bless and rock on 🎸😎👍
Thank you! Yes...here the differences with the bigger brother are more related to the IO (for instance the GT 1000 has XLR out and stereo fx loop, where the GX does not have XLR our and has mono fx loop)...I mean more related to the features than the sound...even because I think that in this way the manufactures can save time and money using the same modelling algorithms for many devices. Thank you!!!!
completely agree with your opinion. I found the gx to be a bit more compressed, which helps to maintain sustain on the cleaner sounds, but isn't necessarily the closest sound to the original.
You have done a brilliant demo of to two and keeping tight To me the GX just has that better natural tone . Thank you for taking the time to do this video 👍
Hi Leo. Greetings from Jakarta, Indonesia. You're one of my favorite reviewers on YT. I just have one question. Which one do you prefer as an all-round unit for recording and live performance on stage?
Hi, thank you so much, I'm really happy that you appreciate the videos! I have to say that I enjoy more the GX 100, as it's way simpler than the GT....It lacks the XLR out...but I can add external ones in the case I need. Once more...the simplicity of the GX 100 really makes me enjoy it more. Thanks!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thank you for reply. You do really care to answer all the questions. You deserve millions of subscribers. Best of luck for your amazing channel. Cheers!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Hi Leo, it's me again. I need your advice before making a decision. If I use it solely for the effects (direct input to real amp or 4cm method), will the GX100 modulations and delays are as good as GT-1000 in terms of tone, headroom, clarity, and overall sound quality? I mostly play clean sound with a touch of low-mid gain overdrive in parallel. I'm also a long time Boss pedals user as you are.
It sounded to me like the GX100 was a bit warmer sounding and closer to the real Amp. The GT1000 sounded a bright and brittle. I think it was in the "Dynamic Range" test that the 1st string almost became inaudible - weird. I preferred the warmer sound of the GX100. I don't think my listening was quite as good as normal. 🤷♂️
So many choices today...too many! The only modelers I use so far are within DAW program...S Gear and Amplitube 5. Been looking at hardware options for a while now....Great video once again.
Great review. People should understand that digital bandwidth has zero effect on the tone, or quality of sound. It is simply a matter of headroom. No effect on the noise floor, as digital "technically" has no noise floor. A higher bandwidth is exactly what it sounds like, the frequency wave is taller, allowing for more db before its peak. A digital sine wave could care less how many effects or processes have been added before it (your processor does all the heavy lifting, not the convertor), as it simply considers it one signal. This is why a singe guitar, and a 128 piece orchestra recorded, and mastered at the same frequency will have the same perceived fidelity. The "audiophiles" who insist higher frequency and bit rate "sound" better, are correct. The higher rate allows the mastering to be done at higher db, making it easier to hear more detail, even when that detail already exists. Every human ear has its own unique ability to process sound, and every person has a different level of "headroom" before the sound becomes distorted. If you take a recording of somebody speaking, and listen to it at a barely perceptible level, you wont understand what is being said, even though at a louder volume it is perfectly clear. Or when you hear a detail in a song you never noticed before, you do not listen to it again at a lower volume, you turn it as loud as you can before it distorts to hear it better. That is why re-mastering old material has the perception of higher quality. None of the material was re-recorded, just re-mastered louder. All of this is moot, when dealing with a digital guitar signal. Pretty much anybody will tell you the analog sound coming from a quality amp, through a quality speaker, will always sound better than any recording of the same. As long as the signal is not exceeding its headroom, there will be zero difference in perceived quality.
I own a GT1000core and love its sounds, but miss the extra footswitches, even with an added FS7. I have the oportunity of getting a second GT1000 for 750€, but am tempted to get a brand new gx100. Great comparison video, as usual.
It was so difficult for me to detect a difference that I defer to your opinion on this. You have tested so much gear at a very detailed level that I value your thoughts. I have a FIIO DAC with very good headphones and could barely tell a difference. I am happy with my GT-1000 and will not upgrade. I am wondering which one you prefer if you had a choice to purchase one.
Hi, thank you for sharing! Well, it would be an hard choice.....maybe I would save some money going with the GX 100, even if I miss the XLR out of the GT....
Thank you Leo for always posting great contents. I personally prefer a little bit less clarity because that’s how you hear an amp sounding so it might be closer to an analog production whereas a very clear and crystal and polished sound can feel a bit less warm and too thin aka the digital sound IMO.
Exactly what I picked up, your "brighter" is my "a bit harsh" and your "softer" is my "darker" which I personally prefer darker tones, more crunch over high end shrill frequencies. 🤟
I like the sound the GX 100 more than the flagship GT 1000 by a little bit....It sounded closer to the amp, IMO.... I think there's something they've actually improved.... I suspect whatever tweaks/upgrades they used well be coming to the GX 1000..... Plus other new upgrades and updates. I wouldn't try to match an amp exactly though..... And just tweak it until it done best for what it is.... It is it as a multi effects pedal before a tube amp. Or use it in tandem with a real amp as a stereo counterpart.
Zoom ms50g has an old mini processor, i bought it few months ago. And for this money, it is awesome devise! Please , make video ms50g vs hx stomp! It will be great , I’m sure! A lot of guys need a little inexpensive devise
This is maybe a bad question, but do the ADA converters make a difference when you just run the unit into a FRFR speaker through a 1/4 inch? Or is it just something that matters when you use them as an audio workstation via usb?
Hi Chris, actually yes. When you use the unit for recording and connecting it via usb you are using the Analog to digital converters...when you go in the an FRFR speaker you are using both the Analog to digital and the Digital to Analog converters. Thank you for your question!
Wow you are the best🙂i really like boss gt 1000 sold but thinking about buying again.But gx100 sounds simillar and its smaller and cheaper🙂.I just have to try this expresion pedal.Best about them you can use power bank and usb to 9v converter and boooom play outside🙂.Have a great day Sir🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖
Hi, thank you so much for following the channel since so long and I'm happy that you like my music!!!! Well, I would choose according to my needs, for instance if I needed a unit to play live, probably I would go with the GX for its many foot switches, on the other hand for home recording I would probably go with the Ampero...for sure these are both great units.... Thank you for your message!
I had a used Ampero and it would start giving artifacts if I tried to use all effect blocks at once. I think either I had a defective one or it's DSP hits a limit fairly easy. I returned it. With the boss GT1000 I never hit a DSP limit.
Hi Leo. Greetings from a fellow Mediterranean Greek living in Finland. Everyone is talking about the GX 100 sounding warmer and more amp like. Do you think you can tweak the GT 1000 sound as warm as the GX 100? I'm thinking of going for the big one to not feel I'm missing out on DSP or anything. Thank you for everything you provide to the guitar world!
Hi Mike, well...I didn't notice this difference. To me the GT 1000 sounds even a little bit better, having better converters. In any case, tweaking the units you should get the same tone! Thank you and I'm really happy that you appreciate the channel!!!
I have the gx100 and think of boss is smart they will morr the route of gx 100 and headrush which i own to and go the touchscreen route makes adjustments so much easier. They got the sounds right now step up in technology
nice and usefull review as always. Next comparative review that could be very interesting would be the IR-200 vs GT-1000 or the core. Nowere boss stated if the ir-200 is AIRD ? thanks !
Hi Lina, thank you, I'm happy that you like the video! I don't think that the IR 200 has the AIRD tech, because the AIRD tech is meant to work at its best without IRs, mimicking the interaction between an amp and the speaker, where the IR 200 is more oriented to be used with IRs. Nevertheless a comparison IR 200 vs GT 1000 would be interesting indeed...to verify the differences... Thank you for your question!
Fun thing... After the video I had a Boss commercial 😂 Btw, good video: the units are a bit different, because there has been a slight change in technology, but I think they are so close it really does not matter much and with a bit a tweaking they can sound the same.
You are welcome! I didn't put that parts in my 2 cents section as I would have repeated what there already is in the previous part of the video...nevertheless, thank you for your suggestion!
Ciao Rudy, in questo video ho comparato le due macchine dal punto di vista delle funzionalità e puoi trovare anche le mie conclusioni sulle differenze maggiormente rilevanti: ua-cam.com/video/1UgPD-vm_28/v-deo.html Grazie del messaggio!
Over UA-cam, when it came to amp modelling, the tonality of the GT 1000 seemed a little too bright and looking at the adjustments you made, it required more drastic tweaks. The GX 100 sounded more similar in tonality to me both before and after tweaking. As for the effects, I wasn't listening super critically and would need to go back and forth instantly to make up my mind. I'd consider myself to be impartial because I don't own either and have no interest in buying either. I'm watching more out of curiosity. Perhaps things have changed with firmware updates, but all the early descriptions of their approach to amp modelling was that the amps aren't necessarily one to one recreations but more idealised representations. They've gone more with the "everything at 12 o'clock should be your starting point" mentality. I'm more interested in the "warts and all" mentality. Also, I use a looper a lot and would prefer longer times on the one built in.
they are same 32bit float only slightly different on gt1000 are 96khz and on gx100 is 48khz....i play them both i cannot tell the difference between the two ...they only sound different when you tweak different than each other....
Hi. Sorry, but for my Ears over my Beyerdynamic DT880, they two Units sounds very different! And both sounds not realy gentle to my Ears. Sorry..;) Lot of thx for this genius Vid!
I think the Amp Test is a little bit boring and some licks are too long, especially lick 4, which always repeats the same. Moreover, those licks are not built to test delay and reverbs, as all the repetitions are very confused one on top of each other. I liked it more before this mania of 'eliminating the human error' at all costs.
Hi, the video was just about sound and tone differences. I did a specific video about tech spec differences where I mentioned also the stereo fx loop, that you can check out here: ua-cam.com/video/1UgPD-vm_28/v-deo.html Thank you for your message!
Hi, if you are interested in more tech spec differences between the two units, you may want to check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/1UgPD-vm_28/v-deo.html Thank you for sharing!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Awesome, I will. I use the GT1000 and LOVE IT:) I am glad they developed a cheaper version, with the same sounds. The world needs it:) I ain't NEVER going back to hauling transformers and speaker cabs:)
Great job with your videos! How does the latency of the GX-100 compare with the GT-1000? I saw your video in which you showed the GT-1000 had the lowest latency compared with other multi-effects units: ua-cam.com/video/BpEgHGKPOpA/v-deo.html
Hi, thank you, I'm happy that you like my videos! Yes, I should do a part 2 of that video...but I have to put myself in the right mindset, as that video was very time consuming...I have to update all the firmware...I have to run all the test...take the measurement... Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thanks for all the work you put into your videos! Your demo songs are excellent too 🎸. I'm considering getting the GX-100 and I hope to see your result if you test it for latency. I use the Boss MS-3 so that would also be interesting to see compared. I love the MS-3 form factor and I hope Boss releases a successor with more processing power and control assignments.
Boss should make a refund for those who bought the Gt1000, the Gx 100 is a new generation and its only the beginning a Gx 200,300,400,500 is yet to come.
If you buy a GT1000, don't think you can just plug and play and get all the results you want...you will need to spend a lot more time fine-tuning, but it is worth it- it is a powerful unit. I have set mine up to emulate my old Deluxe Reverb and Twin Reverb amps, and it sounds incredibly close though a PA for live work. Good video thanks.
Hi Steve, thank you for sharing your experience with the GT 1000!
I learned this lesson the hard way. I started playing during covid and i bought my GT1000 during the gear buying frenzy. I'd been playing maybe a year possibly less at the time. The GT 1000 is incredibly difficult and frustrating. I almost have up on it a dozen times but didn't because of how much i spent on it. I'm guessing most just gave up and returned it.

Hi Chris, actually yes. When you use the unit for recording and connecting it via usb you are using the Analog to digital converters...when you go in the an FRFR speaker you are using both the Analog to digital and the Digital to Analog converters.
Thank you for your question!
@@LeoGibsonGtr So ADA converters are maybe MORE important when going to a FRFR speaker?
Hi Chris, yes they are important, in my opinion even if in live situations I don't think you are gonna hear any difference.
Thank you!
The GX is good value for money for sure
Yes...thank you!
Great video
Thank you so much, I'm super happy that you like the video!!!
Wow you are the best🙂i really like boss gt 1000 sold but thinking about buying again.But gx100 sounds simillar and its smaller and cheaper🙂.I just have to try this expresion pedal.Best about them you can use power bank and usb to 9v converter and boooom play outside🙂.Have a great day Sir🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖🖖
Thank you so much both for sharing your opinion and experience and for the compliments!!!
Fantastic review Leo!!!! Would love to see the gx100 go head to head with the NUX multi fx in terms of sounds.
Thank you so much, I'm happy that you like it! Thank you also for your suggestion!
Muy interesante siempre. Gracias 👌🏻👍🏻
You are welcome! Thank you for your message!
Dear leo, I follow you long time ago, you are an amazing musician 🔥
In the gx and the hx and ampero, wich will you choose?
Hi, thank you so much for following the channel since so long and I'm happy that you like my music!!!!
Well, I would choose according to my needs, for instance if I needed a unit to play live, probably I would go with the GX for its many foot switches, on the other hand for home recording I would probably go with the Ampero...for sure these are both great units....
Thank you for your message!
@@LeoGibsonGtr yes i was thinking on that, I will Buy the Gx, i am sure that I will enjoy it, u r the best🔥
I had a used Ampero and it would start giving artifacts if I tried to use all effect blocks at once. I think either I had a defective one or it's DSP hits a limit fairly easy. I returned it. With the boss GT1000 I never hit a DSP limit.
Hi Leo. Greetings from a fellow Mediterranean Greek living in Finland. Everyone is talking about the GX 100 sounding warmer and more amp like. Do you think you can tweak the GT 1000 sound as warm as the GX 100? I'm thinking of going for the big one to not feel I'm missing out on DSP or anything. Thank you for everything you provide to the guitar world!
Hi Mike, well...I didn't notice this difference. To me the GT 1000 sounds even a little bit better, having better converters. In any case, tweaking the units you should get the same tone!
Thank you and I'm really happy that you appreciate the channel!!!
Is it possible to use one Output with a Cabsim and one without for both units?
Great Video!! I wish I could speak Italian!!
Thank you so much Peter!
So far I don't have time to make the videos both in Italian and in English...but never say never...
Thank you!
is the IR bug for the GX 100 still not fixed?
I have the gx100 and think of boss is smart they will morr the route of gx 100 and headrush which i own to and go the touchscreen route makes adjustments so much easier. They got the sounds right now step up in technology
I mean make gt 1000 touchscreen
Hi, thank you for sharing.
nice and usefull review as always. Next comparative review that could be very interesting would be the IR-200 vs GT-1000 or the core. Nowere boss stated if the ir-200 is AIRD ? thanks !
Hi Lina, thank you, I'm happy that you like the video! I don't think that the IR 200 has the AIRD tech, because the AIRD tech is meant to work at its best without IRs, mimicking the interaction between an amp and the speaker, where the IR 200 is more oriented to be used with IRs. Nevertheless a comparison IR 200 vs GT 1000 would be interesting indeed...to verify the differences...
Thank you for your question!
Fun thing... After the video I had a Boss commercial 😂
Btw, good video: the units are a bit different, because there has been a slight change in technology, but I think they are so close it really does not matter much and with a bit a tweaking they can sound the same.
😀 thank you for sharing your opinion and experience!!!
What´s the difference in round-trip latency? I prefer the GX-100. Would like to hear how the GX-100 sounds with a real amp. Thanks.
Hi, I have not tested the latency, even if to me I can't feel any problem with the latency of these two units...Thank you!!!
dear Leo, in ur "2 cents " part , pls can u add short audio examples when u saying about sound differences? thank u)
You are welcome! I didn't put that parts in my 2 cents section as I would have repeated what there already is in the previous part of the video...nevertheless, thank you for your suggestion!
Quale consigli tra le due?
Ciao Rudy, in questo video ho comparato le due macchine dal punto di vista delle funzionalità e puoi trovare anche le mie conclusioni sulle differenze maggiormente rilevanti: ua-cam.com/video/1UgPD-vm_28/v-deo.html
Grazie del messaggio!
Absolutely same, but functional is different, I hope
Hi, yes, there are "functional" differences, that you may want to check out here: ua-cam.com/video/1UgPD-vm_28/v-deo.html
Thank you for your message!
Over UA-cam, when it came to amp modelling, the tonality of the GT 1000 seemed a little too bright and looking at the adjustments you made, it required more drastic tweaks. The GX 100 sounded more similar in tonality to me both before and after tweaking.
As for the effects, I wasn't listening super critically and would need to go back and forth instantly to make up my mind.
I'd consider myself to be impartial because I don't own either and have no interest in buying either. I'm watching more out of curiosity. Perhaps things have changed with firmware updates, but all the early descriptions of their approach to amp modelling was that the amps aren't necessarily one to one recreations but more idealised representations. They've gone more with the "everything at 12 o'clock should be your starting point" mentality. I'm more interested in the "warts and all" mentality. Also, I use a looper a lot and would prefer longer times on the one built in.
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience and your opinion!
Great review.
i prefeer the GX.
Thank you, both the compliments that make me happy and for sharing your opinion!
Thanks...
You are welcome!
they are same 32bit float only slightly different on gt1000 are 96khz and on gx100 is 48khz....i play them both i cannot tell the difference between the two ...they only sound different when you tweak different than each other....
GX100 24 bit-48 kHz; GT 1000 32 bit-96 kHz.This is an important detail.
You will never hear a difference between 48 and 96. But, 96 reduces system latency (delay) quite a bit.
Thank you for sharing!
Hi. Sorry, but for my Ears over my Beyerdynamic DT880, they two Units sounds very different! And both sounds not realy gentle to my Ears. Sorry..;)
Lot of thx for this genius Vid!
Hi, thank you for sharing
GX sounds closer, which is strange seeing how they are the processor basically
Hi, thank you for sharing!
I think the Amp Test is a little bit boring and some licks are too long, especially lick 4, which always repeats the same. Moreover, those licks are not built to test delay and reverbs, as all the repetitions are very confused one on top of each other. I liked it more before this mania of 'eliminating the human error' at all costs.
Hi Martino, thank you for sharing your opinion
you forgot the huge fact that the gx100 DOESNT HAVE A STEREO EFFECTS LOOP....this stopped me from buying
Hi, the video was just about sound and tone differences. I did a specific video about tech spec differences where I mentioned also the stereo fx loop, that you can check out here: ua-cam.com/video/1UgPD-vm_28/v-deo.html
Thank you for your message!
Too much time between sounds, differences will be more evident for viewers if different sounds from every piece of gear if sounds changes quicklier.
Hi, thank you for your suggestion. I wanted you to hear the decay of each unit, therefore we need to let it go until it is really silent.
@@LeoGibsonGtr Oh I see, still love what you do.
Thank you, I'm super happy that you like the videos!!!
Same engine, same sound. GX 100 has no XLR out and no 2nd EXP Pedal.
Hi, if you are interested in more tech spec differences between the two units, you may want to check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/1UgPD-vm_28/v-deo.html
Thank you for sharing!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Awesome, I will. I use the GT1000 and LOVE IT:) I am glad they developed a cheaper version, with the same sounds. The world needs it:) I ain't NEVER going back to hauling transformers and speaker cabs:)
😀👍
🤓ALL 3 SOUND / FEEL DIFFERENT
Thank you for sharing your findings!
Great job with your videos! How does the latency of the GX-100 compare with the GT-1000? I saw your video in which you showed the GT-1000 had the lowest latency compared with other multi-effects units: ua-cam.com/video/BpEgHGKPOpA/v-deo.html
Hi, thank you, I'm happy that you like my videos! Yes, I should do a part 2 of that video...but I have to put myself in the right mindset, as that video was very time consuming...I have to update all the firmware...I have to run all the test...take the measurement...
Thank you!
@@LeoGibsonGtr Thanks for all the work you put into your videos! Your demo songs are excellent too 🎸. I'm considering getting the GX-100 and I hope to see your result if you test it for latency. I use the Boss MS-3 so that would also be interesting to see compared. I love the MS-3 form factor and I hope Boss releases a successor with more processing power and control assignments.
Great gx 100 ,is afordable unit
Thank you for sharing!
And the winner is...............GX 100...more amp like
Hi, thank you for sharing!!!
The GT1000 is a much better product of course
Hi, thank you for sharing!
GT 1000 VS TC ELECTRONIC MIMIQ DOUBLER?
Thank you for your suggestion!
GX was similar to amp...while GT sounded like a crap. Didn't you mess the tracks/texts in comparison description? ;)
Hi, no I didn't.
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
@@LeoGibsonGtr great to know that. Now we can buy GX and have a good sounding device.
👍
Boss should make a refund for those who bought the Gt1000, the Gx 100 is a new generation and its only the beginning a Gx 200,300,400,500 is yet to come.
Hi, thank you for sharing!
I really hope that these new pedalboards are gonna come...
Hi leo Do you think that the modulations sound less quality on the gx100 pedalboard? I care more about the modulations than anything else
Hi, I think they sound pretty much the same. The only difference is in the converters...but is barely audible.
Thank you!
