I've watched your video about half a dozen times lol and each time I pick up something new. I just re-created all of my sounds using 2 A in the GT and I run them into my Roland JC and it sounds unbelievable!
Hey Dan great video and you will be happy to know that I just purchased the GT 100 today and you graciously spent time demonstrating its flexibility at the Long and McQuade store in Bedford! Thanks Again! Jeff
Man, you explained this so good! Specially the 4 cable method. I did not have the full concept till i watched your video. Thank you so much for sharing!
Hey Dan I just wanted to say good job on the GT 100 ! you broke it down like a pro! I watched some others on you tube who were ignorant of that concept! but you handled it with a touch of rock and class! thanks" Dwayne Fengier"
Dan, Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video....incredibly clear and concise. I wanted to be able to use a mix of sounds with my Blackstar Preamp and using the COSM amps....S/R On and Off .... Its a beautiful thing. Boss will sell a lot of these units just because of the flexibility and their understanding of what real guitarists need. You are the MAN.
You helped me decide to spring for a GT-100. I was fretting (pun intended) over the ins and outs of it, and your clear explanation showed how easy it really is. Thank you!
This is such a great and very useful video. I just got a Boss Nextone Special and connected my loyal Boss GT-100 to it. Without your video I would have spent much more time trying to figure out how to workout the S/R and pre-amp stuff. Many thanks!
This is the first video that explains in layman’s terms the various cabling for the gt100, and makes sense of it all. Thank you ! I finally understand the reason for the 4CM.
Brilliant Dan. Thank you very much. I'm just a little bit in the dark though about how you switch between the GT-100 preamp and your amp's preamp, right at the end of the video. To anyone who supplies the answer thank you in advance.
This was a very useful demonstration of the GT 100 which i happen to own. I now know why the sound coming from my amp sounded kind of funky, i am in the front of a Fender Virbrolux that does not have a send and return on the back and i didn't know you need to turn off the BOSS preamp in the signal chain.
Video still relevant today--thank you! QUESTION: why (or is) the 4 Cable method better than, say setting output to Returns and sending L/R out from GT-100 directly to GA-212 A/B stereo inputs on the back of the amp? (you're still using the Preamp on the GT-100--and this is a mains in--it bypasses the preamp on the physical amplifier). Why would 4CM be better than this approach?
Es mejor cuando tu amplificador real es muy bueno y quieres seguir utilizando su preamplificador natural, si no es el caso no vale la pena en mi opinión.
Great review Dan , easily the best on U tube .....thanks for sharing . I have a JVM head and wanted something that could both change channels and give me more FX to play with ......I just bought a GT-100 after seeing this so thanks again man . Vinny from Scotland .
Sir, it may be a little late to thank you for this very usefull video wich made me understand the whole thing as I'm a beginner. Very instructive. Thank's again.
Cool vid Dan, good overview with enough background info, slanted to the GT-100 which is an imminent purchase - hopefully. I had always stuck everything in front of the input, in a long series. Will explore. Thanks.
Thanks for making that so clear. Could you please make a video demonstrating how to get levels correct using a board (GT100) and amp? There are a lot of volumes to play with: Guitar Vol, GT100 input level, GT100 patch level, GT100 output, Amp pre-amp volume and gain then the master volume. Thanks.
Thanks, Roland for elucidating the uses of the four cable method. I was wondering, though, when you explained 'switching the GT-100 COSM Preamps and my amp' what you physically were kicking on the GT?? Little confused. Ernie Johnson,Thousand Oaks, CA.
First off excellent demo and thanks for the explanation of the Gt-100's wiring set-up's. Very helpful. Using the 4 cable method, your demo doesn't resolve the issue of changing the GT-100's "Output Select" from "Combo Return" back to "Combo Amp" when turning the S/R in the GT-100 on/off. I've tried to find a solution to this but there is none. The only way to change the "Output Select" is to change patches. You cannot change the "Output Select" within an individual patch. Boss missed this one.
I love the dual amp tones from this unit. I recently bought mid-level studio monitors specifically for home practice using the dual amp feature. The only thing I do different is, instead of a 100 right and 100 left i go 85 right-85 left and it really seem s to fatten up the tone.
Great video and explanation on 4 cable and OUTPUT SELECT, BUT, no mention on which OUTPUT SELECT to use in 4 cable method. I'm thinking that if I have the pre-amp in the GT100 turned off and using my amps pre-amp I should have it on COMBO AMP, JC-120, let's say, and, now I turn the GT100 pre-amp on, and the SEND/RETURN on, should the OUTPUT SELECT be on combo return? Or does it matter?
Im still using the GT100 in almost 2020 N i think im going to keep using this unit 4 a long time coz it really blows in terms of sonic achievements ...i also have a good old Zoom G9 which has tons of good tones thanks to its hybrid tube/solid state preamp section with two tubes (once they have been replaced with good ones)... But the Gt100 with its Dual Processing + an unbeatable PC interface (Tone-Studio) remains my Fav MultiFx unit -- Im doing this 4CM (kind of) with a ENGL 530 tube Preamp + stereo ENGL 840/50 Pow-Amp (3U rack head) i have the the ENGL preamp inserted into the GT100 S/R block N i can switch between channel on my preamp with an Ext. pedal using a TRS 1/4 jack cable (using the Ctrl Assign function) it works flawlessly i have also another tube preamp [Effectrode Blackbird] + an MXR 10 bands EQ inserted into the FX-loop of the ENGL preamp in order to get some more really cool colorations 4 my ENGL Clean N Crunch channels .....this is the best setup you could ever find so far.....
Great video good to find someone explaining through exactIy what I was looking for !! However I bought one of these yesterday after a lifetime of gigging with stomp boxes ...... I want to use the gt100 just as an effects unit direct into my fender twin using the 4 cable method however the twin doesn't have send or return ! so how do I do shut off all the preamps in the gt100 because i cant use the S/R facility.??
Thanks for the awesome and informative post! How do I install the driver for Windows 10? Could you, please, make a video in this regard? Warmest greetings, CN.
What an amazing videooooo !!!! I have the Me-80 and want to change it for get GT-100 but I didn't knows how to connect it to my interface.. As I learned in this video, I gotta use the L(mono) output but change to Line/phones output with the system button????
Great demo. I'm thinking about getting a GA-212 for my Eleven Rack, and this has sold me. This guy even gets a great sound out of a GT100, and does an excellent job of explaining all of the connection methods. Who is the guy in the video? He lays all this stuff out better than anyone else I've heard. Edit: It's Dan Doiron. www.dandoiron.com/index/
Hi, thanks for the great video! The 4 cable method was never explained properly in the Roland instruction manual. However, I do have one question: I still would like to use a couple of my old effects pedals, I.e. Wah Wah, Dirty Little Secret. I've noticed on your setup you are also doing the same but it wasn't mentioned how you're hooking them up in the chain. The old method, as per Roland, is to hook them into the send/return on the GT100 but that's no longer an option sin the send return goes into the amp. Any advice? Regards
Gil Marriner Take whichever external pedals you want before the pre-tube amplifiers and chain them together, then send a cable into the input of the amp...take a cable from the FX send to any external pedals you want after the pre-amp and chain them together, and plug that into the return of the GT-100. External pedals will be hard to reach if you're just using a short cable to connect to your first external pedal from the "send" of the GT, but it uses "tube buffering" so you can use a long cable which, gives you room to put it within reach.
Good day. I have a Boss Gt-100 conected throught the 4 cable method to a Marshal Amp. If I still want to use the amp simulation in the GT-100, where must I put the loop S/R (send/return); before or after the amp simulations. Please reply. Thank you.
Hi Dan; Excellent video! It answered most of my questions. However, I'm a little unclear on the S/R option. Where does using this selection come into play? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Phil
The information that you gave was absolutely awesome. I didn't know how to bypass the GT 100 and use my amp. Now it works just the way I have always wanted it to. The problem that I am having now is that my looper doesn't play back. Do you have a fix for that? Thank you so much.
Can anyone suggest a good tutorial series on how to use the GT-100 to the fullest? I have owned one for a long time but I am so new to playing guitar, I am somewhat overwhelmed. I think I need help with tone in general and all of the lingo/basics. Pedals and all are rather new to me, as a beginner. I just had to have this thing, but it is collecting dust and I want to get more into using it. Any help would be much appreciated.
I've had a gt100 for 4 years now and I'm always looking to improve the sound and tweak. This video is the most informative. I'd be interested to know what you default eq your amp i.e on clean do you set bass, mid and treble to a 12 o clock position?
Hi Dan; One final question to clarify a point in your excellent video. Just after you discussed phrase looping, you mentioned you just hit one switch to switch between the amps in the GT 100 and your own amps pre-amp. Did you assign a pedal to do this for you? How is that accomplished? Phil
I have the same doubt, since I think the pedal to be assigned is Accel/CTL , that is on the right side, and it seems he press a pedal on the left side...Anybody knows that? Regards
Do you go in-and-out of the preamp or the effects loop I have both I have a Marshall head with pre amp send and return, and effects loop send and return
i have a jet city 50 watt combo5012c;and what cable method do you suggest with the boss gt-100 and this combo amp;if you want to utilize the amps preamp and other pedals like tech 21 para driver and reverb fender pedal? Or do ya have to choose one or the other methods? thanks jesse.
Question please? You mentioned using the send/returns in back of an amp;and for instance i would have the jcm 2000 dsl 100 Mlb anniversary (2005ish) half -stack;so how would i plug ths Boss Gt-100 unit if i were using the ISP Technologies G string II pedal? This one i just got about a week ago? Thanks Jesse.
Excelent!! Thanks for Sharing!, Finally a clear explanation!!!!!, Please any recommendations when I try to connect gt100 to fender Mustang III, by 4CM. GT amp's are louder than Mustang's, why???. Thanks........
On other fx units you have the ability to switch between Amp pre-amp and Modelling amp whilst using the 4 cable method bypassing one in favour of the other using one button to switch between the two. Can this do that?
Thank you for your review, perfectly done! I have 1 question, please answer it if you get a chance. I love the GT-100 but it seems to have very limited looping functionality (39 seconds or so). I'd be interested in buying an RC-30 and hooking it up to this existing setup (4 cable method, or 5 for stereo) could you explain how I could add an RC-30 properly and where in the loop it would go? I think I have an idea but I'd like some clarification. I'm thinking it will sit between the final GT-100 output and the amp return, is that correct?
AlTheEngineer I have a Jam Man Phrase looper that I love and, this is a great question! If you are just recording guitar loops, you probably want all of the tones your creating to get recorded in your phrase loop pedal...If you do the 4 cable method, 1) unplug the last cable in the chain (Gt-100's "L-mono/out that goes to the "FX return" of the amp)...Put one end of that cable into the Gt-100's "L-Mono/Out," plug the other end into the input of your loop 2) take another cable and plug it into the output of your loop, and put the other end into the return of the amp. You can do this same process for a stereo sound if you have a phrase looper with two inputs and outputs. You'll just take one of the outputs from the loop pedal to another speaker system.
Thank you so much for the reply! I have the GT-100 now and I haven't yet purchased or connected the looper! Will certainly be following your guide when I do so! I appreciate your time!
How do you turn the send/return off for that last part? Is it just in the patch somewhere? You can program, lets say, the CTL button to shut off the send/return in a given patch?
So a noise reduction pedal is not needed with this unit right? Well i mean since it doesn't contain a setting to engage one right? Thanks for the video.
Hello, I have a question in regards to setting up and using Midi capabilities with a midi controllable amp head. My plan is to plug my guitar directly into my amp head (Revv Generator 100). Then using the midi ins and outs on both the GT100 and the Revv head. I would not purchase the GT 100 for distortion or gain boosts, rather I would use it for switching my whole rig (channels and other features on the amp) and adding delays/verbs. So I would obviously turn off the pre amp section on the pedalboard but what would I say it is being plugged into? The loop of the amp? This all in theory should work, do you have any suggestions to optimize performance and would this work? Cheers
Finally, someone who clearly explain the send and return function .. THANK YOU so much DAN !! :))))))
Xp digital elementos pedaleira
So far out of many reviews, you are the only person who shows the four cable method. Excellent review!!!
yeah thats right dude! 👍 very nice tutorials!
This the absolutely best video/explanation/lesson on how to hock up the GT100 in the most effective way.
Six years later, your video is still quite relevant and extremely useful. Thanks. Keep ‘em coming! 😎👍🏼
Great lesson! Just got a GT100 the other day. I knew nothing about effects chains but now I feel very knowledgable. Keep rocking!
this guy is a natural teacher. great video.
The best explanation of effects chain, pre-amps, and multi effects pedals I have ever heard.
I've watched your video about half a dozen times lol and each time I pick up something new. I just re-created all of my sounds using 2 A in the GT and I run them into my Roland JC and it sounds unbelievable!
The info in this video is pure gold... even after all these years...

Dude you are a beast on that guitar and the knowledge of the GT100 best explanation I have ever seen thanks sir
Thank for doing this video for the guitar community.
Great Video. I have been trying to understand what the differences were to the different cable methods. I finally understand. Thank You!
Awesome explanation! You are an excellent teacher and musician.Thank you!
Great review! Elegantly and tastefully done
I always use my amp on basic then plug in thank YOU so much for the in-depth 😍
Sweet! Great explanation! Now I’m really excited for my GT 100 to show up!

How would you use the 4CM going into a mixer? This is such a great video!
great video very helpfull plus great playing and sound many thanks
Outstanding intuitive video!
I've been looking for this. Very helpfull!
5th cable could be used, put it in right output of GT-100 and to return no.2 on GA-212, for stereo sound

i have a jet city 50 watt combo5012c;and what cable method do you suggest with the boss gt-100 and this combo amp;if you want to utilize the amps preamp and other pedals like tech 21 para driver and reverb fender pedal?
Or do ya have to choose one or the other methods? thanks jesse.
Fantastic video - many thanks!
Very good-clear video
Question please? You mentioned using the send/returns in back of an amp;and for instance i would have the jcm 2000 dsl 100 Mlb anniversary (2005ish) half -stack;so how would i plug ths Boss Gt-100 unit if i were using the ISP Technologies G string II pedal?

Excelent!! Thanks for Sharing!, Finally a clear explanation!!!!!, Please any recommendations when I try to connect gt100 to fender Mustang III, by 4CM. GT amp's are louder than Mustang's, why???. Thanks........
Dan, is the four cable method only apply in one patch only or that automatically apply to all patches ? Thanks
On other fx units you have the ability to switch between Amp pre-amp and Modelling amp whilst using the 4 cable method bypassing one in favour of the other using one button to switch between the two. Can this do that?
Thank you for your review, perfectly done! I have 1 question, please answer it if you get a chance. I love the GT-100 but it seems to have very limited looping functionality (39 seconds or so). I'd be interested in buying an RC-30 and hooking it up to this existing setup (4 cable method, or 5 for stereo) could you explain how I could add an RC-30 properly and where in the loop it would go? I think I have an idea but I'd like some clarification. I'm thinking it will sit between the final GT-100 output and the amp return, is that correct?
AlTheEngineer I have a Jam Man Phrase looper that I love and, this is a great question! If you are just recording guitar loops, you probably want all of the tones your creating to get recorded in your phrase loop pedal...If you do the 4 cable method,
1) unplug the last cable in the chain (Gt-100's "L-mono/out that goes to the "FX return" of the amp)...Put one end of that cable into the Gt-100's "L-Mono/Out," plug the other end into the input of your loop
2) take another cable and plug it into the output of your loop, and put the other end into the return of the amp.
You can do this same process for a stereo sound if you have a phrase looper with two inputs and outputs. You'll just take one of the outputs from the loop pedal to another speaker system.
Thank you so much for the reply! I have the GT-100 now and I haven't yet purchased or connected the looper! Will certainly be following your guide when I do so! I appreciate your time!
How do you turn the send/return off for that last part? Is it just in the patch somewhere? You can program, lets say, the CTL button to shut off the send/return in a given patch?
I don't get at the end how you switch back and forth what one button are you talking about?
Still gettin to know it ❤
Do you need TRS cables or just instrument cables for the four cable method?
thx alot for posting this video . it helps me a lot
So a noise reduction pedal is not needed with this unit right? Well i mean since it doesn't contain a setting to engage one right? Thanks for the video.
Jesse Reyna Yes the GT 100 has 2 NRP's in the chain.
Johnny Solipsis Thanks man. Awesome unit!
Hello,
I have a question in regards to setting up and using Midi capabilities with a midi controllable amp head.
My plan is to plug my guitar directly into my amp head (Revv Generator 100). Then using the midi ins and outs on both the GT100 and the Revv head. I would not purchase the GT 100 for distortion or gain boosts, rather I would use it for switching my whole rig (channels and other features on the amp) and adding delays/verbs.
So I would obviously turn off the pre amp section on the pedalboard but what would I say it is being plugged into? The loop of the amp?
This all in theory should work, do you have any suggestions to optimize performance and would this work?
Cheers
