You're the man, Jake's Media! :-) Thank you very much for your kind words! It's not bad being able to put such impact across in my video - yay! You should really get one, it's a great piece of gear and the tones are right on the spot! Thanks again, Jake! Have a great weekend & cheers :-)
why? the device is not the problem. the problem is this: "I got a new cool device for guitar-recording" ====> NORMAL HE ===> "yeh.... ehhhhhh....mmmh....i got...ehhhhhhhmmm. yeah.... a new... ehhhm..... ehhhhm ...yeah coool eeeeehm.... device......yeah... ehhhhhhm for.... eeeeeehmmm.... guitar... eeeeeeeeeeehm eeeeeeeeehm... yeah...eeeeeeeeeeehm....mmmmmmmmmmmeeehh.... eeeeeeeeeehmmm.... recor.... EEEEEEEH!!!! EEEEEHH!!! CORDING" No offensive... sorry but this is horrible to watch and have to stop... that makes me angry cause i would like to know more about my own device.. -__-"
nofi4, I really don't see the need for your tone in this case... I'm doing these videos because they help out people and because I enjoy it. If you feel that my videos are not helping, then send me an email, perhaps I can be of better assistance there..
I just bought the GT-1 and before I did I watched a few of your videos. I am thinking this old school single pedal guy may have finally found a muklti-effects I can understand. Thank you for your awesome videos. I noticed on your UA-cam page DOZENS of tutorials for this device... wow. That is partly what sold me on this unit. -- Usually when I go to UA-cam about some device, its a REVIEW DEMO, not a tutorial. They go quick thru "this pedal does this, and this pedal does that" and never slow down and show you HOW. -- You've really made my day. I am 60 years old and have been playinf guiutar for over 40 years and I'm just not from the tech-pedal generation. Plus, I hate reading, of the 4 types pof learning humans do (text reading, demnonstration, lecture, etc) watching someone do it is the way I learn. I can't learn by sitting down with a "War and Peace" sized manual... forget it... I'll be sleeping in 3 minutes. Exactly why you'll probably never see me plugged in to a Line 6 anything. I wasn't born in a generation where the baby pops out of the womb with a cell phone attached to their head... We had rotary phone, then push button phones came along and it was the biggest thing since sliced bread. I was born in 1962... so I was 22 years old when they produced the first Apple home computer in 1984... And at about $5,000 in 1984 dollars or so, I couldn't possibly afford one. -- You have given me some of the best TUTORIALS I have ever seen on any device. God bless you for your efforts of all these excellent GT-1 tutorials. I've yet to see any multi effect with so many... Have a great day, you deserve it.
Hi there, James. I'm very sorry for the late reply, I've been behind on answering comments... Thank you for your comment and kind words, they are greatly appreciated! I'm so happy to hear your story, and you made a great choice of going with the GT-1. You're right, there are many reviews for this unit out on UA-cam... I skipped that part, and went straight for the tutorials, as I figured that's what people needed. I agree, it's always better to see how people do, for example through a video, and then try it out yourself. I hear you, too much tech right from the birth... it hasn't really done us any good, if we think about our younger generations... James, thank you, your kind words mean the world to me! You've just made my day, today! God bless you too and stay safe! Best regards!
After buying my GT-1 over a year ago, I'm back. My initial reaction was one of cranial overload and confusion. I've spent the past year learning what pedals actual do, buying a few, and getting my skill levels up. Hauling my GT-1 out of the box, this now makes sense. I'm so glad I saved your videos to a directory. I'm also so glad I didn't sell the GT-1 and buy too many pedals as I had no real idea at the time of the power of this little unit
Excellent, Damien! I'm really pleased to hear that! Indeed, the GT-1 can be overwhelming at first, but once you understand it, you won't be able to part with it! All the best. Cheers.
At last... I have a mfx pedal I can edit and use..... and I don't have to be Einstein to do it! And these tutes made it even easier. Thankyou very much!
I want to express my thanks for making these videos. I just got a GT-1 and your videos have helped me quickly learn everything I needed to know to have great fun with this unit. I think I have watched every one of our videos, some of them three or four times. Every time I watch one, I learn another helpful tip. Thanks again!
Thanks again, Base! I'm really glad to hear that, and it makes my videos even more useful for others out there! Keep enjoying it, and let me know if you need anything else. Best regards. Cheers.
Thank you, Volac Nehrghal, for your kind words - they are greatly appreciated! I will keep grinding, so there's more content for all you wonderful people! Have an excellent day.
Thank you for a very informative and easy to follow video. I am a 69 year old guitarist (playing since the age of 15) and I have been looking for a replacement for my rack-mounted old PodPro, and your video has finally convinced me to go with the Boss GT 1. I already have a Boss RC 3 loop station which I love, so I am already a believer in Boss products. Thanks again and I am subscribing to your channel right now!
Hey there, @Jim in Cornwall! 😊 Very nice to hear from you, and thank you for the kind words! I truly appreciate it! Wow, that is excellent, Jim! That makes me really happy! You see, that is the impact I want my videos to have on the viewers! I'm sure you're gonna love the GT-1! It's a true beast, and the effects and tones are great! Hehe, Boss makes great products, that's for sure! I've been through all the different Boss multi effects - right from the rack-mounted GT-PRO, GT-10, GT-100 and now the GT-1! Boss all the way, no doubt! Thanks for subscribing, Jim! I appreciate it! You let me know if you need any help or have further questions! I'd be happy to help you out! Have an excellent day! Cheers.
I spent more than three hours of my life trying to set clean 2 dist and for me it was so hard to do it. After watching your video my life got so easier! Thank you so much for helping me.

Hey GNT, just picked up a GT1 and used this vid to set up my first user patch ... super simple instruction and my new patch sounds great. Many thanks for your help. Keep on Rockin' 🤘🏻
Heey there, Harry 😊 Thank you for your comment and kind words - it's much appreciated! I'm glad you got it all worked out, and that your patch is sounding great! Keep enjoying the GT-1, and let me know if you need anything else, or have questions. I'd be happy to help out and solve any issues. Have an excellent day! Cheers.
Thank you. I have been reading the manual over and over and getting frustrated as many questions which were not being answered. You have resolved much for me, thank you
This video is excellent , the ability to assign functions to the CTL pedal and external CTL pedals makes it really adaptable . I think the pre amp sounds are very good from what I have heard on youtube demos, and have seen people play live gigs on here with them . I am definitely replacing my me 70 with one in the very very near future. Thank you for your video
Hey again, The Atomic Punk :-) Thanks for your comment! The assigns, and the possibilities they offer, are why I've been using Boss multi effects for years! I haven't, yet, found anything that comes close! Having the CTL1 onboard, and the option to add the FS-7, just gives that extra to it all! Easy to program and easy to navigate through, epsecially on stage! Also, the FS-7 won't run out of battery, like the old FS-6 would, hehe. The preamps and cabinets are great, really! I use the GT-1 live, through the PA, and the sound is great! I've been giggin' live with the GT-1 ever since I got it, back when it first came out! I've never looked back ;-) Good choice, I think you'll be very happy with that decision. You're more than welcome - any time! Have a great day :-)
This is definitely what I'm looking for as I've just bought a GT-1 and need to know how to quickly switch from clean to distortion as many songs require this function. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Bluegrass31! Thank you very much, I appreciate your kind words! I'm glad that you found it useful! You are very welcome - it's my pleasure! Let me know if you need anything. Have a great day! Cheers!
Hello, Fender Cheow. Thanks for watching and for your comment. It's greatly appreciated. I'm glad that my tutorial made sense. I've just uploaded a new, updated version of this video, you can check it out here: ua-cam.com/video/MfT4YBOk8X8/v-deo.html Please let me know if you need anything. Have a great weekend!
Thank you for the kind words, they're much appreciated! I'm pleased to hear that you found my videos helpful! True, the GT-1 is a beast, and the possibilities are endless! Best regards.
I just traded my Zoom fx pedal for the Gt-1 Fx pedal Thanks For explaining it so simple, looking forward to other videos.It sounds easy to work. Good Job! Ervin
Hey there, Ervin :-) Thanks for your comment and great choice of going with the GT-1! I'm sure you're gonna love it! If you ever need it, then I would be more than happy to help out - just let me know. :-) The GT-1 is great and the effects and preamps are superb! I love mine, and I use it all the time, also when I play live on stage with my band :-) Have a great one, Ervin! Stay in touch Best regards.
@@GuitarNTabs yes ok I have one. so now is see your other video comparison of the Gt 1000 core. I have a question, so I see I can assign Ct1 2 and 3 but only have FX1 and 2 , does the core allow Fx 1 2 3 4 etc, in one patch if there is a desire to do something like Clean 12 string with chorus , to a distortion lead with octave and compression to do that on Gt 1 in one patch there would have to be an FX 3 for more modulation options
@@johnmcminn9455 - Hi! The GT-1 is limited to only 2 FX slots (FX1 and FX2) so it's a bit harder to get that to work. However, you can always switch between effects within FX1 and FX2, by using the Assigns. For example, you could start out with the FX1 being the Acoustic Simulator and FX2 chorus, then set up assigns to change the Acoustic Simulator to Compressor and the Chorus to Octave, when you switch parts for the song, play, etc. That's a way to go about it, with the GT-1. The GT-1000Core has a lot more, in regards to FX slots, so it's able to be a bit more complex and allow for more complex signal/effect routing. I hope this helps. Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs thanks a lot! That is a good suggestion . I have an HX Stomp, by using the GT-1 I am becoming less afraid of it! I d k if the Gt 1000 core is similar with the foot switches, the Hx has a sensitivity for the buttons where as if you brush against one, it will go to a different function, I turned the sensitivity off. I actually thought the HX had a virus. the GT 1 is so logical. I like how the Easy Edit allows you to group your favorite patches together so you can access them in order . great videos, much like taking a college class , thank you!
@@johnmcminn9455 - You're welcome, I'm glad you liked the suggestion. Indeed, the GT-1 is logical, and can really produce some great sounding patches! Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers.
damn bro thanks a lot ,i hope next time you can teach us how to use pitch shifter properly ,i want to achieve drop C but couldnt achieve it properly ,MORE VIDEOS to come
@@GuitarNTabs I am following your tutorials and playing with my GT-1 EVERY DAY recently. I may need a few months to digest all the stuff you already have here. Just wanna thank you again for these generous contributions.
@@Maomao_Chen - Hi! That's great to hear, thank you, I greatly appreciate it! Take your time, and do let me know if you have any question. My pleasure! Have a great day! Cheers.
Thank you, LW West. I appreciate your comment and time. Indeed, the GT-1 is a great beast, and the possibilities are endless! Let me know if you need anything. Cheers.
Most probably the most informative and direct tutorial on YT. Thank you very much. What i wonder is what if we want to change clean to distortion when we loop? Is it possible?
This is a very great video, man. You are absolutely master, your explanations that slowly but actualy made it easily for me to understand how to operate this elusive pedal... But I have one more question, if I use my frfr for output the pedal, should I choose the output setting is line or combo amp, etc?
Hi, Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it. For the FRFR-speaker you should select the Line/Phones Output Select, and make sure to turn on the GT-1's PREAMP section. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else. Best regards.
I don't have a GT -1 , but looking in to it. Looks kinda hard in a way,but worth it once it could be navigated. I'm sure if I am able to acquire one, it'd be worth the investment. Good tutorial.
Hey there, @Jody Sanders 😊 Thanks for your comment and kind words - I appreciate it. I'm sorry if this video gave you the wrong impression.. the GT-1 isn't hard at all to navigate, trust me. I've owned the GT-1 since it first came out, and it's truly an amazing piece of gear. I mainly use it direct to either my studio monitors, or to my band's PA, when playing live. I therefore use both the onboard effects and preamps/cabinets - they are splendid! Of course there's always a learning-curve, but the Manual is of help, and if you decide to get one, then I'd be more than happy to assist you as well - you just let me know 😊 The GT-1 has my highest recommendations, and I'm positive you'll be happy with it, if you decide to buy one! Please let me know if you have further questions, or comments, I'd be more than happy to help out. Looking forward to your reply. Best wishes.
I have a Digitech unit from like 20 years ago at least, that is very similar to this. I stopped using it because like this one, you almost need an engineering degree to know how to use it. I recently started using it again for something different, and its still just as hard to use, but there are some great tones to be found there. I hesitate to buy this one even though it looks like a great value, due to the complexity. But for those that have the time and patience, it looks great.
Hey there, Al3xander 😊 That's amazing to hear, I'm very pleased! Thank you for watching my video, I'm glad it served its purpose. Please let me know if you need anything else, or have further question. Have an excellent day Cheers.
Good though job done!!!thanks , u have made me remember how well the boss got series are as far as internal switching and program changes, it takes some time spent learning but powerful once u attain the knowledge
Hi Tony :-) Thanks, I truly appreciate that! Yes, I've always used the GT series multi effects, simply because of their great assign and control options! They can do whatever you need them too! Yes, it is required that you spend a little time getting to know the different features, but once you've got it, it doesn't take long to set it up :-) Enjoy & Cheers! :-)
Cheers and thank you, tata! I appreciate it, and I'm happy to hear that you're getting your own Boss GT-1! You're gonna love it, I'm sure! Let me know if you need anything - I'd be happy to assist. Best regards.
Just bought one today and played with it. it has many preset sounds without all this programming. Also you can simply edit any of the sounds with easy edit much simpler to get started.
Hey there, Joe! Man, that's great to hear - hope you're happy with it! Yes, the GT-1 comes with a lot of presets, and some of them are alright, but the top of it all is to create your own - that's where the shine really is :-) Yes, the easy edit is great too, and you can easily dial in a quick patch using it :-) Let me know if you need anything, Joe! Have a great day Cheers.
Hey there, @Samuel 😊 Thank you for your kind words - I appreciate it! The GT-1 is great, and the tones are superb! Just take your time with it, and I'm sure you'll make som great patches! Let me know if you need anything else. Regards & Cheers.
These videos are incredibly helpful - thank you! Do you have any videos using the GT1 showing how to go from distortion to a lead? I am very curious to see your thought process on how you set up your lead channels.
Cheers, Chris! Thanks, man! I truly appreciate the kind words! Hmm, I actually don't think so.. Atleast not right off the bat.. Anyway, I can easily explain it here :-) Generally, when I need a lead/solo boost, and I already have an OD/DS pedal activated, I will simply assign one of the CTL footswitches to activate the OD SOLO-assign. What that will do is to give the activated OD/DS a boost in volume, a tiny bit gain and also a frequency boost. I use that ALL THE TIME, and I haven't found another feature that works better. It's simple to set up, easy to use and you're going to cut right through - it's as simple as that, really :-) Of course you could also fiddle around with the different EQ-parameters, but why do that, when the OD SOLO-feature is so much easier, and even better? :-) If you have an overdriven/distorted preamp activated as well, if you use one of the onboard preamps, then you can assign the PrA SOLO features, which will do the same thing as the OD/DS-SOLO, just for the activated preamp :-) The good people at Boos/Roland really thought this through - I really like it! :-) I hope this answers your question, but you're always welcome to ask further questions :-) Have a great one, mate. Cheers.
Hey man, thanks for the info below/above on how to set it for rhythm overdrive to lead solo. That was real helpful . This is one of the best videos I’ve watched so far that explains how to program CTL assigns in depth. I do not have the GT 1 at the moment , I have the Me70 but am going to sell the me70 as the sounds in the GT1 sound excellent for using live through a P.A . The pre amp models seem very good. Thank you for your videos. Best wishes ...... Paul
Hey there, The Atomic Punk :-) Thanks for your comment and the kind words - I appreciate it! I just think it's so important to know about the assigns, and what they can really do, because they will enable so much and make things much easier. :-) I would highly recommend getting the GT-1, without a doubt. The effects are superb and the preamps and cabinets are awesome! There're loads to choose from! I use the GT-1 through the PA, and my studio monitors, and they quality is excellent, and it stays the same, every time! That's what I like about a set-up like this - it's consistent! I really like the Clean Twin preamp model, with the 2x12 cabinet option - man, that's great for some clean stuff and even with the T-Scream overdrive infront! Add some reverb and delay to that, and you're in solo heaven! Let me know how it all goes, and feel free to get in touch, if you need anything! Best wishes, Paul & cheers!
GuitarNTabs, when using the GT-1 through the PA at gigs, do you find yourself having to tweak the settings on your patches from venue to venue? I play some outdoor venues, then some smaller venues, and I'm finding that I have to constantly tweak my patches depending on the venue. But note, I am running the GT-1 through the front of the amp and not the FX loop or PA.
Hi - sorry for the late reply... Yes, the ORIGIN speaker type is meant to model the default speaker for the particular preamp. I hope this helps. Cheers.
Hi Philip. Thanks for reaching out, I appreciate it. I would love to do that, but sadly I'm a long way away from Copenhagen... What exactly do you need? Thanks for your kind words. Cheers.
Thank you so much! This video helped me a lot. I recently bought the Boss GT-1B, but I couldn't understand how to program these kinds of changes. Even though my processor is for bass, the design and everything works the same as the Boss GT-1.
Hey there, Said Araya :-) Thanks for your comment and kind words - I truly appreciate it. Exactly, the programming is the same, so that's great! I'm glad I was able to help! Feel free to get in touch, if you need more help :-) Best regards.
Excellent vids on the GT-1. You are the best. I have a question about the FS-7, I was wondering if it were possible to set up the FS-7 to work as the ‘up and down’ buttons (to scroll through my patches) instead of the ‘up and down’ buttons on the GT-1 itself? I haven’t been able to find info anywhere. Thanks for your time, Joey.
Hi there, Thanks for watching, and thank you for leaving a comment. Sure, that can easily be done. Simply press the Memory Edit button, scroll to the end of the chain, find the CT2 and CT3 menus, and change their function. Then head to the PREF menu by pressing the MENU button, and set the function for the CT2 and CT3 to SYSTEM, instead of PATCH. Now this will enable the CT2 and CT3 to be scrolling your patches on all presets. I hope this helps. Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs I will try it out, looks simple enough. I also realized I wasn’t using a trs cable so that was an issue as well of course. Thanks again for your time. You are the best.
Very informative and appreciated! A small area of constructive criticism if I may, a bit over explaining. That's fine. Some people need that(including me at times) but alot of repeating yourself. Remember the beauty of UA-cam is we can pause and go back if/when needed.😉👍 Overall very useful info my man. Great video. Thanks for doing it.👊👍
Thanks, DanGoodShot pewpew! I really appreciate it! This video is a few years old now, and future videos will be improved and shorter. Thanks for watching, I'm pleased you found the video helpful. Rock on, and let me know if you need anything. Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Thank you for not taking offense. I'm sitting on my floor with my guitar, gt1 and this video right now playing with it. I really dig the versatility and how good it sounds. I just wish there was an add on with a bunch of foot switchs so I could quickly switch between my favorite patches. Once I'm done with this I'll be sure to scan through your video library. Again, thank you. Subscribed.
@@DanGoodShotHD - Hey! Sure, no offense taken! Constructive criticism are good, especially when delivered properly 😊 Excellent, you're on the right track, that's great to hear! Well, you can always add the Boss FS-7 to your GT-1 and have a few extra footswitches, for assigns, etc. That's what I've done, and it works great! Sounds really good, thanks, I really appreciate that! Thanks for watching, and please let me know if you need anything. Cheers for the sub!
All your GT1 vids have helped tremendously! If I didn't find them, I certainly would've sold it a while ago. Happy I didn't now! One question, I have mine on a pedalboard...is there anyway to completely bypass it? Thanks!
Hi there. Thanks for your comment and question, I greatly appreciate it. I'm pleased to hear that you've found my videos helpful! The best way is to turn off all effect--blocks, since there's no real bypass. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs thanks for the reply! That's what I did, I created a "bypass" patch. I have to play around with the patch & output volume to match the volume as if I were plugging guitar direct into amp.
@@KeepinYouUp07 - Sure, no problem, I'm always happy to assist! Great, that should work just fine. That sounds like a good idea, since there might be a slight difference, which is to expect. Let me know how it goes, and if you need anything else. Best regards.
Good job. I will like to ear it on a real little tube amp like blues jr for small gigs. Does the dirty tones sound good and real in front of a tube amp?
Thank you! Yeah, I'm trying to make that possible, but I don't have an amp like that, at the moment, but when I do, I will make a video on the topic. I'm sure they'll do, yes. Dial in your tube amp, and add the desired effects from the GT-1 and tweak from there. It should work out real good. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers.
Hi there. I'm very sorry for the late reply, I've been behind on answering comments... I believe we answered this question on one of my other videos, but here's the reply again. The EXP2 can only be assigned to Volume, if you adjust it in its menu in the Signal Chain. However, you can set up other Assigns (A1 through A6) where you can use the EXP2 as well. In this case, if you don't mind, I would probably set up EXP1 to do the Wah and then EXP2 to do the Volume. Start by setting up the EXP2 to only do volume, like this: Press Memory Edit, then use Knob 1 to scroll through the Signal Chain, and then find EXP2, then press Enter. Set its FUNCTION from OFF to FOOT VOL, and that's all good. Next, press Exit to exit the EXP2 menu. Then scroll back a little, until you see EXP1, then press Enter. Then change its FUNCTION from PDL FX/VOL to PDL FX. Make sure to save your adjustments. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else. Best regards.
may I ask why you use Cubase 5? I was using 8 then I bought 10 and found some of the features like studio EQ and a scrolling function in the event window were no longer there. fortunately Steinberg allows you to down load previous versions so if you buy 10 you could unlock 5 from their library if you wish. great work thanks so much!
Hi John. This video is several years old now, so at the time I used the version of Cubase I had available to me. It worked just fine for what I did. I recently upgraded to Elements 10,5. Thanks for the tip and the kind words. Have a great day.
I would love to get 1 of these units. I just feel I am not patient enough to learn how to use it. But it does sound fantastic. And would save someone like me a shit load of money from buying pedals.
I would say "go for it, Daniel!" See what happens. I'll offer my help and services, to get you started and sorted out - no problem at all. Just let me know :-) Have a great day. Cheers.
I just bought this . will these changes to the ctrl pedal just be affect by this patch created or will affect all presets. also did you ever consider the zoom g3 it seems a bit easier since it has the look of stomp pedals
Hi again, Marc. Merry Christmas. Congratulations, you're gonna love this unit! I'd be of any help, if you need it, just let me know. You can change the global settings for the CTL. By default it's set per patch, so you can set up different CTLs and assigns on each patch. If you change the function to "System" it will be the same CTL/assigns on every patch. The great thing about the assigns, when set to "patch", are the possibility of having different settings on each patch. I hope this helps and makes sense. Best regards. Cheers.
@@mustanggt3012 - I really enjoy the GT-1, it's a great piece of gear. I've had mine since its first release, and I hasn't let me down. I've used it for rehearsals, live gigs as well as home recording, and it has done all that, without a single flaw or issue. I'd recommend the GT-1 to anyone, that's for sure. You get so much, for such a great price! The possibilities are endless, really. Let me know if you need anything else, I'd be happy to assist. Cheers.
Using a simple double footswitch enhances this little machine so so so much. I bought one from Thomann for 12 bucks and it works perfectly. Troubleshooting tip: For those having problems using an external switch in terms of having to press twice for activating/deactivating effect, you simply got to switch the Source Mode from Toggle to Moment (most easy in the App/program on your PC or Mac)
I really enjoy your tutorials as they have been a great help. However, I have repeatedly followed your instructions in the video here and while it works for delay or compressor ( which I don't want in this patch ) I can't make it work for harmony or octaver ( which I do want ). What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Hi, You should simply need to set an Assign up for the FX1 or FX2, depending on where you have the two blocks placed. What are you trying to achieve? Thanks. Best regards.
@@GuitarNTabs Thanks so much for the reply. Specifically, I’m trying to create a patch where I go from a Clean guitar with no effects to a distorted guitar with a harmonizer or Octaver with a press of the CTL button for a specific song that I’m playing. I think I’m following all your instructions, but I’m not sure what you mean by “where I have the two blocks placed”. Thanks
@@tonycamara5576 - Try starting over, and apply the assigns once again. It should only be a matter of setting up the assigns for the CTL1. I just mean that if you want to use a harmonizer, then you want to think about where it's placed within the signal chain, as well as the Octaver. This has to do with the tracking of the notes. I hope this helps. Cheers.
Hi there, Josh. Thanks for your comment and for watching - I greatly appreciate it. I'm glad you found my videos helpful, and that you're looking to buy a Boss GT-1. It would surely be a good choice, and if you do, I'd be happy to assist and help out. Please let me know if you need anything else. Have a great day.
nice content and i have the GT1, i m using it as stand alone using garage band and audio interface. Do you know any link which i can set, example playing music using backing track with P03 Natural Clean and i want to change to P35 Power Drive and change again to P57 Chorus Lead. Is there any shortcut where i can just press a switch to any of those Preset Patch List rather without interuppting my play. Or please advice me. Thanks
Hi! Patches can not be assigned, so the only way to toggle between those specific patches would be to have them arranged right after each other, or like this: Natural Clean - Power Drive and Chorus Lead. This can be done by saving each patch to a desired location, right after each other, for example, U3, U4 and U5. This would be the easiest way. Another way would be to creat those patches within ONE single patch, using the GT-1's Assigns, but this is slightly harder, bit I'm sure it can be done, using the same parameters of those 3 patches. I hope this helps. Cheers.
Would like to know the settings for Fender Mustang LT25 speaker while connecting with GT1. Setting sounds different than with the headphone on maybe due to effects that is inbuilt the speaker? even after disabling the effects and twin reverb selected .
Hi there. Thanks for your comment and question. First of all, you need to decide how you want to use the GT-1 with your Fender amp. Since your Fender amp is a modeling amp, which also includes effects, it's important to get the GT-1 placed and incorporated properly. If you want to use the GT-1 for its effects only, then connect it to your amp's front input, and make sure to turn the GT-1's preamp-button OFF. Then dial in your Fender amp to sound like you want it to, and add remaining effects from the GT-1. Set the Output Select to Small Amp or Combo Amp. If you want to use the GT-1 for both its effects and preamp types, then you could connect through the Fender amp's AUX input. This will disable the preamp section of your Fender amp, only leaving the speaker to output the signal. You can then use the GT-1 for both its effects and preamp types, but you should probably turn off the GT-1's speaker type. Set the Output Select to Combo Amp Return or Line/Phones. I hope this helps. Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs As you have said the AUX facility can come handy to get the GT1 output from the speaker. Thinking whether output quality from the AUX will be same as from the cable? Thanking you for helping out with valuable information.👍😊
@@rongsw190 - Indeed it can, yes. I believe so, but can't say for sure, you'll have to test and try it out. No worries, I'm happy to help. Just let me know if there's more I can do. Cheers.
Hello there, Prasenjit. Thanks for your comment and question, I greatly appreciate it. What you're asking is possible, yes. You need to press the "memory-edit" button, and find the CT2 and CT3 icons. Press "enter" to enter the menus, for the CT2 and CT3. In both menus you will have to set the "function" parameter to Number +1 and Number -1 - depending on which footswitch you want to control the +1/-1. I hope this makes sense. All the best.
How to assign. On my secon channel the third botton comes on. Then patch 3 the chorus comes on when I hit it twice. No body on UA-cam showing how to assign different effects or tuner or looper.
Hi Night Days, I don't know what patches you're using, but they might be Factory Presets, where the CTL1 is set to do different things, as an Assign... You can always change that, in the Signal Chain, finding the CT1 icon, and pressing Enter, to enter the menu, and adjust the settings. I have several videos on how to Assign, they are here on this channel. Have a look at those, and let me know if you need any further help. I'd be happy to assist. I hope this helps. All the best. Cheers.
i have boss gt-1 connected to my computer via usb.. i run the Boss Tone Studio for GT-1 application. In the connections, I select the Midi In Midi Out and Audio In and Audio Out options, all for GT-1 .. I click connect and after a few seconds the window returns to select the connection option for Midi In ,Out and Audio In ,Out .. and so same thing over and over... why?
The set up and the look and everything just looks really, really similar to the boss me-25. I think they wanted to make it like that and bring the change only in looks.
Hi there. Thanks for your comment. Meeh, I can't agree with that.. The GT-1 is nothing compared to the ME-25.. The GT-1 is basically the same engine as the GT-100, so the technology is newer and more improved than the ME-25. Atleast to me it has no similar features :-) Who knows, we can really only guess, hehe. Best wishes! Cheers!
Thanks for the video! Unfortunately the user's manual doesn't come even close to explaining how to achieve turning on multiple effects with a single CTL click.
Hey there, melancio 😊 Thanks for watching, I appreciate it. Exactly.. the Owner's Manual is quite vague, and that's not only on this topic... I'm pleased that you found my video helpful. Have an excellent day and let me know if you need anything! Cheers.
@@jamesassya - I agree.. It covers some light basics, but not much more than that... More In-depth would've been great.. It would probably also turn more people on to the GT-1.. Have a great weekend! Cheers.
Yeah, it's actually a great device, but if u don't know what to do with it and how to use all the functions, it is as if you have nothing, esp. for people who are beginners, or/and have never used classic amps and guitar settings. Have a great weekend there you too!
@@jamesassya - Hey again! Sure, the GT-1 require some patience and learning, but what doesn't? It's just a matter of spending some time and allowing for mistakes to be made.. People are always in a rush, but it's really no good.. Just take your time! But I get where you're coming from, I've been there myself 😊 Let me know if you need anything! Thanks - cheers.
Why would anyone disliked this? I don't have the GT1 but watching your video, now I'm tempted to buy one.
You're the man, Jake's Media! :-)
Thank you very much for your kind words!
It's not bad being able to put such impact across in my video - yay!
You should really get one, it's a great piece of gear and the tones are right on the spot!
Thanks again, Jake!
Have a great weekend & cheers :-)
Jake MiXd I got one after watching all his videos and I am enjoying this pedal beyond belief.
why? the device is not the problem. the problem is this:
"I got a new cool device for guitar-recording" ====> NORMAL
HE ===> "yeh.... ehhhhhh....mmmh....i got...ehhhhhhhmmm. yeah.... a new... ehhhm..... ehhhhm ...yeah coool eeeeehm.... device......yeah... ehhhhhhm for.... eeeeeehmmm.... guitar... eeeeeeeeeeehm eeeeeeeeehm... yeah...eeeeeeeeeeehm....mmmmmmmmmmmeeehh.... eeeeeeeeeehmmm.... recor.... EEEEEEEH!!!! EEEEEHH!!! CORDING"
No offensive... sorry but this is horrible to watch and have to stop... that makes me angry cause i would like to know more about my own device.. -__-"
nofi4, I really don't see the need for your tone in this case... I'm doing these videos because they help out people and because I enjoy it.
If you feel that my videos are not helping, then send me an email, perhaps I can be of better assistance there..
nofi4 if you want to know more about your device read the fucken manual if your not happy with someone who takes his own time to help us
I just bought the GT-1 and before I did I watched a few of your videos. I am thinking this old school single pedal guy may have finally found a muklti-effects I can understand. Thank you for your awesome videos. I noticed on your UA-cam page DOZENS of tutorials for this device... wow. That is partly what sold me on this unit. -- Usually when I go to UA-cam about some device, its a REVIEW DEMO, not a tutorial. They go quick thru "this pedal does this, and this pedal does that" and never slow down and show you HOW. -- You've really made my day. I am 60 years old and have been playinf guiutar for over 40 years and I'm just not from the tech-pedal generation. Plus, I hate reading, of the 4 types pof learning humans do (text reading, demnonstration, lecture, etc) watching someone do it is the way I learn. I can't learn by sitting down with a "War and Peace" sized manual... forget it... I'll be sleeping in 3 minutes. Exactly why you'll probably never see me plugged in to a Line 6 anything. I wasn't born in a generation where the baby pops out of the womb with a cell phone attached to their head... We had rotary phone, then push button phones came along and it was the biggest thing since sliced bread. I was born in 1962... so I was 22 years old when they produced the first Apple home computer in 1984... And at about $5,000 in 1984 dollars or so, I couldn't possibly afford one. -- You have given me some of the best TUTORIALS I have ever seen on any device. God bless you for your efforts of all these excellent GT-1 tutorials. I've yet to see any multi effect with so many... Have a great day, you deserve it.
Hi there, James.
I'm very sorry for the late reply, I've been behind on answering comments...
Thank you for your comment and kind words, they are greatly appreciated!
I'm so happy to hear your story, and you made a great choice of going with the GT-1.
You're right, there are many reviews for this unit out on UA-cam... I skipped that part, and went straight for the tutorials, as I figured that's what people needed.
I agree, it's always better to see how people do, for example through a video, and then try it out yourself.
I hear you, too much tech right from the birth... it hasn't really done us any good, if we think about our younger generations...
James, thank you, your kind words mean the world to me! You've just made my day, today!
God bless you too and stay safe!
Best regards!
After buying my GT-1 over a year ago, I'm back. My initial reaction was one of cranial overload and confusion.
I've spent the past year learning what pedals actual do, buying a few, and getting my skill levels up.
Hauling my GT-1 out of the box, this now makes sense. I'm so glad I saved your videos to a directory.
I'm also so glad I didn't sell the GT-1 and buy too many pedals as I had no real idea at the time of the power of this little unit
Excellent, Damien! I'm really pleased to hear that!
Indeed, the GT-1 can be overwhelming at first, but once you understand it, you won't be able to part with it!
All the best.
Cheers.
At last... I have a mfx pedal I can edit and use..... and I don't have to be Einstein to do it! And these tutes made it even easier. Thankyou very much!
Thank you, I greatly appreciate your kind words!
Please do let me know if you need anything else.
Best regards.
I want to express my thanks for making these videos. I just got a GT-1 and your videos have helped me quickly learn everything I needed to know to have great fun with this unit. I think I have watched every one of our videos, some of them three or four times. Every time I watch one, I learn another helpful tip. Thanks again!
Thanks again, Base!

Thank you for a very informative and easy to follow video. I am a 69 year old guitarist (playing since the age of 15) and I have been looking for a replacement for my rack-mounted old PodPro, and your video has finally convinced me to go with the Boss GT 1. I already have a Boss RC 3 loop station which I love, so I am already a believer in Boss products.
Thanks again and I am subscribing to your channel right now!

IM SO SO SO SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL!!! THANKS A TON DUDE!❤️
This video is excellent , the ability to assign functions to the CTL pedal and external CTL pedals makes it really adaptable . I think the pre amp sounds are very good from what I have heard on youtube demos, and have seen people play live gigs on here with them . I am definitely replacing my me 70 with one in the very very near future. Thank you for your video
Hey again, The Atomic Punk :-)
Thanks for your comment!
The assigns, and the possibilities they offer, are why I've been using Boss multi effects for years!
I haven't, yet, found anything that comes close!
Having the CTL1 onboard, and the option to add the FS-7, just gives that extra to it all!
Easy to program and easy to navigate through, epsecially on stage!
Also, the FS-7 won't run out of battery, like the old FS-6 would, hehe.
The preamps and cabinets are great, really! I use the GT-1 live, through the PA, and the sound is great!
I've been giggin' live with the GT-1 ever since I got it, back when it first came out! I've never looked back ;-)
Good choice, I think you'll be very happy with that decision.
You're more than welcome - any time!
Have a great day :-)
This is definitely what I'm looking for as I've just bought a GT-1 and need to know how to quickly switch from clean to distortion as many songs require this function. Thanks for sharing.
Hey there, Quan Tran!

Great tutorial! I am definitely going to buy a FS-6 and experiment with CTL 2 and 3
Thanks, John, I'm pleased to hear that!
Go with the FS-7 instead, it's a great footswitch.
Have a great day.
@@GuitarNTabs yes ok I have one.
so now is see your other video comparison of the Gt 1000 core.
I have a question,
so I see I can assign Ct1 2 and 3 but only have FX1 and 2 , does the core allow Fx 1 2 3 4 etc, in one patch if there is a desire to do something like Clean 12 string with chorus , to a distortion lead with octave and compression
to do that on Gt 1 in one patch there would have to be an FX 3 for more modulation options
@@johnmcminn9455 - Hi!
The GT-1 is limited to only 2 FX slots (FX1 and FX2) so it's a bit harder to get that to work.
However, you can always switch between effects within FX1 and FX2, by using the Assigns.
For example, you could start out with the FX1 being the Acoustic Simulator and FX2 chorus, then set up assigns to change the Acoustic Simulator to Compressor and the Chorus to Octave, when you switch parts for the song, play, etc. That's a way to go about it, with the GT-1.
The GT-1000Core has a lot more, in regards to FX slots, so it's able to be a bit more complex and allow for more complex signal/effect routing.
I hope this helps.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs thanks a lot! That is a good suggestion .
I have an HX Stomp, by using the GT-1 I am becoming less afraid of it!
I d k if the Gt 1000 core is similar with the foot switches, the Hx has a sensitivity for the buttons where as if you brush against one, it will go to a different function, I turned the sensitivity off. I actually thought the HX had a virus.
the GT 1 is so logical.
I like how the Easy Edit allows you to group your favorite patches together so you can access them in order .
great videos, much like taking a college class , thank you!
@@johnmcminn9455 - You're welcome, I'm glad you liked the suggestion.
Indeed, the GT-1 is logical, and can really produce some great sounding patches!

This is a very great video, man. You are absolutely master, your explanations that slowly but actualy made it easily for me to understand how to operate this elusive pedal... But I have one more question, if I use my frfr for output the pedal, should I choose the output setting is line or combo amp, etc?
Hi,
Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it.
For the FRFR-speaker you should select the Line/Phones Output Select, and make sure to turn on the GT-1's PREAMP section.
I hope this helps.

That was fkn super helpfull thanks man 😎😎😎😎😎
I don't have a GT -1 , but looking in to it. Looks kinda hard in a way,but worth it once it could be navigated. I'm sure if I am able to acquire one, it'd be worth the investment. Good tutorial.
Hey there, @Jody Sanders 😊
Thanks for your comment and kind words - I appreciate it.
I'm sorry if this video gave you the wrong impression.. the GT-1 isn't hard at all to navigate, trust me.
I've owned the GT-1 since it first came out, and it's truly an amazing piece of gear. I mainly use it direct to either my studio monitors, or to my band's PA, when playing live. I therefore use both the onboard effects and preamps/cabinets - they are splendid!
Of course there's always a learning-curve, but the Manual is of help, and if you decide to get one, then I'd be more than happy to assist you as well - you just let me know 😊
The GT-1 has my highest recommendations, and I'm positive you'll be happy with it, if you decide to buy one!
Please let me know if you have further questions, or comments, I'd be more than happy to help out.
Looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes.
I have a Digitech unit from like 20 years ago at least, that is very similar to this. I stopped using it because like this one, you almost need an engineering degree to know how to use it. I recently started using it again for something different, and its still just as hard to use, but there are some great tones to be found there. I hesitate to buy this one even though it looks like a great value, due to the complexity. But for those that have the time and patience, it looks great.
Man I love your tone, i've been wanting to sound like that for a long time, can you show what your settings are?
Had this pedal for so long and your tutorial finally helped me dial in my guitar sound with my Katana 100w head. Thanks so much.
Hey there, Al3xander 😊
That's amazing to hear, I'm very pleased!
Thank you for watching my video, I'm glad it served its purpose.
Please let me know if you need anything else, or have further question.

Good though job done!!!thanks , u have made me remember how well the boss got series are as far as internal switching and program changes, it takes some time spent learning but powerful once u attain the knowledge
Hi Tony :-)
Thanks, I truly appreciate that!
Yes, I've always used the GT series multi effects, simply because of their great assign and control options!
They can do whatever you need them too!
Yes, it is required that you spend a little time getting to know the different features, but once you've got it, it doesn't take long to set it up :-)
Enjoy & Cheers! :-)
Excellent video

Hey there, Joe!
Man, that's great to hear - hope you're happy with it!
Yes, the GT-1 comes with a lot of presets, and some of them are alright, but the top of it all is to create your own - that's where the shine really is :-)
Yes, the easy edit is great too, and you can easily dial in a quick patch using it :-)
Let me know if you need anything, Joe!
Have a great day
Cheers.
I hopefully buy that gt 1 next month....
Excellent, man! You're gonna love it!
Let me know if I can assist in any way, I'd be happy to!
Cheers!
Thanks bro God bless you... Cheers!!! 🍺🍺
Thank for make video tutorial like this. My new gt 1 is pure. I want to make a best patch like your
Hey there, @Samuel 😊
Thank you for your kind words - I appreciate it!
The GT-1 is great, and the tones are superb!
Just take your time with it, and I'm sure you'll make som great patches!
Let me know if you need anything else.
Regards & Cheers.
Thanks brother!
You are very welcome, I'm glad the video was of help.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Best regards.
These videos are incredibly helpful - thank you! Do you have any videos using the GT1 showing how to go from distortion to a lead? I am very curious to see your thought process on how you set up your lead channels.
Cheers, Chris!
Thanks, man! I truly appreciate the kind words!
Hmm, I actually don't think so.. Atleast not right off the bat.. Anyway, I can easily explain it here :-)
Generally, when I need a lead/solo boost, and I already have an OD/DS pedal activated, I will simply assign one of the CTL footswitches to activate the OD SOLO-assign. What that will do is to give the activated OD/DS a boost in volume, a tiny bit gain and also a frequency boost. I use that ALL THE TIME, and I haven't found another feature that works better. It's simple to set up, easy to use and you're going to cut right through - it's as simple as that, really :-)
Of course you could also fiddle around with the different EQ-parameters, but why do that, when the OD SOLO-feature is so much easier, and even better? :-)
If you have an overdriven/distorted preamp activated as well, if you use one of the onboard preamps, then you can assign the PrA SOLO features, which will do the same thing as the OD/DS-SOLO, just for the activated preamp :-)
The good people at Boos/Roland really thought this through - I really like it! :-)
I hope this answers your question, but you're always welcome to ask further questions :-)
Have a great one, mate.
Cheers.
Thank you my friend!
Hey man, thanks for the info below/above on how to set it for rhythm overdrive to lead solo. That was real helpful . This is one of the best videos I’ve watched so far that explains how to program CTL assigns in depth. I do not have the GT 1 at the moment , I have the Me70 but am going to sell the me70 as the sounds in the GT1 sound excellent for using live through a P.A . The pre amp models seem very good. Thank you for your videos. Best wishes ...... Paul
Hey there, The Atomic Punk :-)
Thanks for your comment and the kind words - I appreciate it!
I just think it's so important to know about the assigns, and what they can really do, because they will enable so much and make things much easier. :-)
I would highly recommend getting the GT-1, without a doubt. The effects are superb and the preamps and cabinets are awesome! There're loads to choose from!
I use the GT-1 through the PA, and my studio monitors, and they quality is excellent, and it stays the same, every time!
That's what I like about a set-up like this - it's consistent!
I really like the Clean Twin preamp model, with the 2x12 cabinet option - man, that's great for some clean stuff and even with the T-Scream overdrive infront! Add some reverb and delay to that, and you're in solo heaven!
Let me know how it all goes, and feel free to get in touch, if you need anything!
Best wishes, Paul & cheers!
GuitarNTabs, when using the GT-1 through the PA at gigs, do you find yourself having to tweak the settings on your patches from venue to venue? I play some outdoor venues, then some smaller venues, and I'm finding that I have to constantly tweak my patches depending on the venue. But note, I am running the GT-1 through the front of the amp and not the FX loop or PA.
Hey you create great videos on the gt1, I was curious about the speaker type settings what is the origin is that the default spkr of the preamp
Hi - sorry for the late reply...
Yes, the ORIGIN speaker type is meant to model the default speaker for the particular preamp.
I hope this helps.
Cheers.

Excellent vids on the GT-1. You are the best. I have a question about the FS-7, I was wondering if it were possible to set up the FS-7 to work as the ‘up and down’ buttons (to scroll through my patches) instead of the ‘up and down’ buttons on the GT-1 itself? I haven’t been able to find info anywhere. Thanks for your time, Joey.
Hi there,
Thanks for watching, and thank you for leaving a comment.
Sure, that can easily be done. Simply press the Memory Edit button, scroll to the end of the chain, find the CT2 and CT3 menus, and change their function.
Then head to the PREF menu by pressing the MENU button, and set the function for the CT2 and CT3 to SYSTEM, instead of PATCH. Now this will enable the CT2 and CT3 to be scrolling your patches on all presets.
I hope this helps.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs I will try it out, looks simple enough. I also realized I wasn’t using a trs cable so that was an issue as well of course. Thanks again for your time. You are the best.
Very informative and appreciated! A small area of constructive criticism if I may, a bit over explaining. That's fine. Some people need that(including me at times) but alot of repeating yourself. Remember the beauty of UA-cam is we can pause and go back if/when needed.😉👍
Overall very useful info my man. Great video. Thanks for doing it.👊👍
Thanks, DanGoodShot pewpew!
I really appreciate it!
This video is a few years old now, and future videos will be improved and shorter.

Rock on, and let me know if you need anything.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Thank you for not taking offense. I'm sitting on my floor with my guitar, gt1 and this video right now playing with it. I really dig the versatility and how good it sounds. I just wish there was an add on with a bunch of foot switchs so I could quickly switch between my favorite patches. Once I'm done with this I'll be sure to scan through your video library. Again, thank you. Subscribed.
@@DanGoodShotHD - Hey!
Sure, no offense taken! Constructive criticism are good, especially when delivered properly 😊
Excellent, you're on the right track, that's great to hear!
Well, you can always add the Boss FS-7 to your GT-1 and have a few extra footswitches, for assigns, etc.
That's what I've done, and it works great!
Sounds really good, thanks, I really appreciate that!

All your GT1 vids have helped tremendously! If I didn't find them, I certainly would've sold it a while ago. Happy I didn't now!
One question, I have mine on a pedalboard...is there anyway to completely bypass it?
Thanks!
Hi there.
Thanks for your comment and question, I greatly appreciate it.
I'm pleased to hear that you've found my videos helpful!
The best way is to turn off all effect--blocks, since there's no real bypass.
I hope this helps.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs thanks for the reply! That's what I did, I created a "bypass" patch. I have to play around with the patch & output volume to match the volume as if I were plugging guitar direct into amp.
@@KeepinYouUp07 - Sure, no problem, I'm always happy to assist!
Great, that should work just fine. That sounds like a good idea, since there might be a slight difference, which is to expect.
Let me know how it goes, and if you need anything else.

Good job. I will like to ear it on a real little tube amp like blues jr for small gigs. Does the dirty tones sound good and real in front of a tube amp?
Thank you!
Yeah, I'm trying to make that possible, but I don't have an amp like that, at the moment, but when I do, I will make a video on the topic.
I'm sure they'll do, yes. Dial in your tube amp, and add the desired effects from the GT-1 and tweak from there.
It should work out real good.
I hope this helps.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Cheers.
THANK YOU SIRRR

These tutorials are awesome.
Do you know how to make expression pedal 1 control volume and EXP2 control the pedal FX octave pedal ?
Hi there.
I'm very sorry for the late reply, I've been behind on answering comments...
I believe we answered this question on one of my other videos, but here's the reply again.
The EXP2 can only be assigned to Volume, if you adjust it in its menu in the Signal Chain. However, you can set up other Assigns (A1 through A6) where you can use the EXP2 as well.
In this case, if you don't mind, I would probably set up EXP1 to do the Wah and then EXP2 to do the Volume.
Start by setting up the EXP2 to only do volume, like this:
Press Memory Edit, then use Knob 1 to scroll through the Signal Chain, and then find EXP2, then press Enter. Set its FUNCTION from OFF to FOOT VOL, and that's all good.
Next, press Exit to exit the EXP2 menu. Then scroll back a little, until you see EXP1, then press Enter. Then change its FUNCTION from PDL FX/VOL to PDL FX.
Make sure to save your adjustments.
I hope this helps.
Let me know if you need anything else.

may I ask why you use Cubase 5?
I was using 8 then I bought 10 and found some of the features like studio EQ and a scrolling function in the event window were no longer there.
fortunately Steinberg allows you to down load previous versions so if you buy 10 you could unlock 5 from their library if you wish.
great work thanks so much!
Hi John.
This video is several years old now, so at the time I used the version of Cubase I had available to me. It worked just fine for what I did.
I recently upgraded to Elements 10,5.
Thanks for the tip and the kind words.
Have a great day.
Good job👍
Thanks, John! I appreciate the comment!
Stay tuned for more GT-1 videos really soon!

I would love to get 1 of these units. I just feel I am not patient enough to learn how to use it. But it does sound fantastic. And would save someone like me a shit load of money from buying pedals.

Yes go for it man, it is not as bad as it seems
I just bought this . will these changes to the ctrl pedal just be affect by this patch created or will affect all presets. also did you ever consider the zoom g3 it seems a bit easier since it has the look of stomp pedals
Hi again, Marc.
Merry Christmas.
Congratulations, you're gonna love this unit! I'd be of any help, if you need it, just let me know.
You can change the global settings for the CTL. By default it's set per patch, so you can set up different CTLs and assigns on each patch. If you change the function to "System" it will be the same CTL/assigns on every patch.
The great thing about the assigns, when set to "patch", are the possibility of having different settings on each patch.
I hope this helps and makes sense.
Best regards.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs how are you likeing the pedal iam thinkin bout buying one
@@mustanggt3012 - I really enjoy the GT-1, it's a great piece of gear.
I've had mine since its first release, and I hasn't let me down.
I've used it for rehearsals, live gigs as well as home recording, and it has done all that, without a single flaw or issue.
I'd recommend the GT-1 to anyone, that's for sure. You get so much, for such a great price!
The possibilities are endless, really.

Using a simple double footswitch enhances this little machine so so so much. I bought one from Thomann for 12 bucks and it works perfectly.
Troubleshooting tip: For those having problems using an external switch in terms of having to press twice for activating/deactivating effect, you simply got to switch the Source Mode from Toggle to Moment (most easy in the App/program on your PC or Mac)
How do you make the volume of the clean proportionate to the OD volume? When I switch over from the clean to the OD it's lot louder!
I really enjoy your tutorials as they have been a great help. However, I have repeatedly followed your instructions in the video here and while it works for delay or compressor ( which I don't want in this patch ) I can't make it work for harmony or octaver ( which I do want ). What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
Hi,
You should simply need to set an Assign up for the FX1 or FX2, depending on where you have the two blocks placed.
What are you trying to achieve?
Thanks.
Best regards.
@@GuitarNTabs Thanks so much for the reply. Specifically, I’m trying to create a patch where I go from a Clean guitar with no effects to a distorted guitar with a harmonizer or Octaver with a press of the CTL button for a specific song that I’m playing. I think I’m following all your instructions, but I’m not sure what you mean by “where I have the two blocks placed”. Thanks
I don’t seem to be getting the “assign “ part correctly.
@@tonycamara5576 - Try starting over, and apply the assigns once again. It should only be a matter of setting up the assigns for the CTL1.
I just mean that if you want to use a harmonizer, then you want to think about where it's placed within the signal chain, as well as the Octaver. This has to do with the tracking of the notes.
I hope this helps.
Cheers.

Hi there, Josh.

nice content and i have the GT1, i m using it as stand alone using garage band and audio interface. Do you know any link which i can set, example playing music using backing track with P03 Natural Clean and i want to change to P35 Power Drive and change again to P57 Chorus Lead. Is there any shortcut where i can just press a switch to any of those Preset Patch List rather without interuppting my play. Or please advice me. Thanks
Hi!
Patches can not be assigned, so the only way to toggle between those specific patches would be to have them arranged right after each other, or like this:
Natural Clean - Power Drive and Chorus Lead. This can be done by saving each patch to a desired location, right after each other, for example, U3, U4 and U5.
This would be the easiest way.
Another way would be to creat those patches within ONE single patch, using the GT-1's Assigns, but this is slightly harder, bit I'm sure it can be done, using the same parameters of those 3 patches.
I hope this helps.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Thank you, good idea
Would like to know the settings for Fender Mustang LT25 speaker while connecting with GT1. Setting sounds different than with the headphone on maybe due to effects that is inbuilt the speaker? even after disabling the effects and twin reverb selected .
Hi there.
Thanks for your comment and question.
First of all, you need to decide how you want to use the GT-1 with your Fender amp.
Since your Fender amp is a modeling amp, which also includes effects, it's important to get the GT-1 placed and incorporated properly.
If you want to use the GT-1 for its effects only, then connect it to your amp's front input, and make sure to turn the GT-1's preamp-button OFF. Then dial in your Fender amp to sound like you want it to, and add remaining effects from the GT-1.
Set the Output Select to Small Amp or Combo Amp.
If you want to use the GT-1 for both its effects and preamp types, then you could connect through the Fender amp's AUX input. This will disable the preamp section of your Fender amp, only leaving the speaker to output the signal. You can then use the GT-1 for both its effects and preamp types, but you should probably turn off the GT-1's speaker type.
Set the Output Select to Combo Amp Return or Line/Phones.
I hope this helps.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs As you have said the AUX facility can come handy to get the GT1 output from the speaker. Thinking whether output quality from the AUX will be same as from the cable? Thanking you for helping out with valuable information.👍😊
@@rongsw190 - Indeed it can, yes.
I believe so, but can't say for sure, you'll have to test and try it out.

Hlw sir I have a Boss Gt 1 or Boss FS 6 how change asending or descending in Boss Gt 1 by Boss FS 6 If you know that method , so please help me ......
Hello there, Prasenjit.
Thanks for your comment and question, I greatly appreciate it.
What you're asking is possible, yes.
You need to press the "memory-edit" button, and find the CT2 and CT3 icons. Press "enter" to enter the menus, for the CT2 and CT3.
In both menus you will have to set the "function" parameter to Number +1 and Number -1 - depending on which footswitch you want to control the +1/-1.
I hope this makes sense.
All the best.
@@GuitarNTabs thank you sir for help me thanks a lot again ...I do this and let you know sir
I cant figure out how to change patches from external footswitch. How did you do that?
How to assign. On my secon channel the third botton comes on. Then patch 3 the chorus comes on when I hit it twice. No body on UA-cam showing how to assign different effects or tuner or looper.
Hi Night Days,
I don't know what patches you're using, but they might be Factory Presets, where the CTL1 is set to do different things, as an Assign...
You can always change that, in the Signal Chain, finding the CT1 icon, and pressing Enter, to enter the menu, and adjust the settings.
I have several videos on how to Assign, they are here on this channel.
Have a look at those, and let me know if you need any further help. I'd be happy to assist.
I hope this helps.
All the best.

Hi, how do you play reggae with that thing. I think I bought something else.
i have boss gt-1 connected to my computer via usb.. i run the Boss Tone Studio for GT-1 application. In the connections, I select the Midi In Midi Out and Audio In and Audio Out options, all for GT-1 .. I click connect and after a few seconds the window returns to select the connection option for Midi In ,Out and Audio In ,Out .. and so same thing over and over... why?
The set up and the look and everything just looks really, really similar to the boss me-25. I think they wanted to make it like that and bring the change only in looks.
Hi there.
Thanks for your comment.
Meeh, I can't agree with that.. The GT-1 is nothing compared to the ME-25.. The GT-1 is basically the same engine as the GT-100, so the technology is newer and more improved than the ME-25. Atleast to me it has no similar features :-)
Who knows, we can really only guess, hehe.
Best wishes!
