- If you have seen any of my other videos, you'll know that I am a fan of the Boss GT-1000. I keep getting asked to do a comparison between the Boss GT-1000 and the Neural DSP Quad Cortex. These 2 guitar processors are very different beasts so I'm only going to be comparing the inbuilt tones of the Fender Deluxe style amps and the Marshall Plexi style amps. The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.
They both sound good to me, as does my Headrush. Maybe I'm just undiscerning, but I find myself caring less and less about new gear. I need to be more creative to progress my sound, not spend more.
I heard dat :)
Your right sir ,,,thats what i need to do is stop spending money on every new flashy gear and just start playing more
same here dude! alwaya wasting a huge time comparing every gear, changing, wasting...instead of studying and progressing my music! That's the new evil of high availability of products and technologies.
I mean I liked the tones here as well but, I can also make my HX Stomp sound fantastic lol. So I completely agree and I try my best not to look at these things for more than entertainment and knowledge. If I see something worth upgrading for I will but, still hasn’t happened so let the mature software age like fine wine.
Same, it’s easy to gratify yourself with some new gear but it’s pointless. Most of have much more stuff than we can ever need.
Does fractal have seamless switching between scenes ?
Between scenes yes, patches no.
rock/blues/jazz-boss
metal-qc
I agree it’s definitely more suited to metal players.
They sound nothing alike. The Boss is definitely based on old Roland amp emulation models and sounds super digital. The Quad Cortex is way closer to a live amp.
Marshall tone on the boss gt-1000 pedal sounds like its got a blanket over it
This is not necessarily a bad thing. For me at least less bright is better.
This is a question of how you set your equalizer. Beside from this: The Marshallsound out of the cortex sounds awesome in this demo
Distortion is more compressed and gainy in Boss, but maybe it's just a matter of tweaking. I wish everyone who A/B equipment would spend the extra minute on a setting and see how similar it is possible to get.. and the extra seconds of a long bending and vibrato note, that will show which amp/preset/guitar, just dies and which one comes alive - flying fast and precise fingers, any piece of equipment can handle :)
Otherways, great playing and reviews... always !!
I’ve owned all the modellers ,the boss and helix can be made to sound good but the Qc,axe fx and kemper just sound better IMO.
The boss effects are brilliant though .
Completely agree. I prefer the amp modelling in the QC over that in the Helix, but I don’t use any of the amp models in the QC at all, just the amp captures. I’ve A/B’d my kemper against the QC a fair few times and do slightly prefer the sound of the captures over the profiles, but it is the UI in the QC which makes shine for me, such that I’d rather play through the QC with its current limitations and wait for more and better FX over using the kemper.
in this video the boss sounded alot better. there is a topend sizzle that i dont like on the qc on the video, may not be there in person. ive got a korg ax30g from the 90s that has the same digital sizzle in the top end.
I appreciate the effort but it doesn't make sense if both units were not compared under the same impulse response. We know now that IR stage is 90% of the signature. We can only compare non-linear distortion behavior between units, for example how well the unit responds light picking. And maybe we can compare how well the tonestacks on both units are accurate. There are subtle nuances on some real amps for example jcm800 has a bright cap embedded into pre-amp gain knob. As you turn it up it slowly takes back the high pass filtering. If you leave the gain at 50%, you get a high-pass filter around 120hz before the preamp stage. So the question is, did they really really try to capture all those nuances? Or just put a generic pre-amp saturation algorithm in front of every amp model and stuck an open source tonestack algorithm and an appropriate IR at the end to make it sound like marshallish?
I agree fully. I actually hate impulse responses. They are so static sounding. I wish there was a better digital technology for speaker simulation. This is why I find the Boss "AIRD" interesting.
I actually preferred thr boss on the fender setting. The qc sounded way better on marshall tones. Considering the price difference the boss holds its own
Yes I do too.
GT1000 got destroyed by QC in Marshall type sound. I wonder how it would sound with different IR because there are others demos on UA-cam of it, and it doesn't sound this bad. Fender type, both were equally good.
I got both - and i keep the GX-100, the QC has gone. The Boss doesnt get destroyed by the QC at all. The Marshalls sound much tighter and less fizzy on the Boss. When you play in a band, you cut through the mix with the boss.
@@bertolosi i could hear the digital fizz/sizzle in the video on the qc. i dont know why others cant hear it. you would think this wouldnt be a thing in 2022.
@@bertolosi I bought the quad and I love it. Got rid of Kemper and helix. Not even n in the same league in feel, sound and UI.
@@jhue73 maybe it’s what you’re listening through.
The Neural sounds way too bassy, ewww
You needed to first set-up the Input into the Boss GT-1000 Core (Adjustable), which allows You to choose your pickups you are using, as well as the Input Gain)!! 👍 Because in your Vid/Audio Comparison re: Tones, Patches, FX, Amps, etc.,.... You've got the QC sounding Fuller and Louder!! As You know: Input and Output Gains and Volumes are Very Important!!!! Other than that just mentioned, Your Vid is Very Well done and really Instructive!!!! 👍 I'm home, at less than half the Cost of the Quad, I believe overall that the Boss GT-1000 Core is a much better Unit, way better Sounding, and is quite a bit more Naturally Responsive to Playing Styles and Pick Attacks!!!! Yay Boss!!!! The GT-1000 Core ROCKS!!!! 😎
Thanks for demonstrating that the GT 1000 core does well vs the Quad Cortex. I admit that I like the Marshall a bit more on the latter, but the Boss amps are not really exact models of specific amps so that may be the difference. Your review has revealed to me that my investment in the GT 1000 was a good one. Saludos!
Cortex has less delay and more reverb. So it sounds "better" because of that IMO. I say if they are tweaked enough, they sound identical.
The Quad Cortex is more than double the price of the GT-1000. They sound almost identical. 🤔
July 2022...which one of these is still in his arsenal & why?
Would have turned the QC volume down, it is louder than the GT. And since louder sounds better, the comparison is uneven.
I bought the GT1000 Core and I'm very happy with it.Thank you
I sold my QC and bought a Boss GX 100. It's just so much more fun and all is already there, what you are waiting for on the QC: Very good effects, an editor, easy too use, excellent sounds and it feels like an amp too. Modelers are computers, they loose worth very quickly. WIth the QC there a lot of promises. Till they get there, this will be an old unit, computerwise. And the much cheaper units like the boss gx-100 will evolve and get much better too in the meantime.
Feel has a lot more to do in how you play than nanometric level fidelity.
I absolutely love the quad. The feel and the sound. The UI is the best around. Not tied to a pc. At times need a cell. Easy workflow. Compact. I passed on it 3x costing me way more money because I absolutely couldn’t stand the feel of the Kemper and the sounds were meh. The rig manager was awful. The tiny screen is just that, tiny. Needed pedals to help. Same with helix. Both sold and glad about it. But saw a few guys using the quad. Watched some videos and gave it a chance. I’m glad I did. Bought two. But amps and pedals come first. It’s the quad that’s fun to fool with. They’ve updated the captures and profiles. As a pedal addict I don’t even need any external pedals to help it out. It’s got enough stuff in it to keep me busy for a long time. It’s in no way old. Thousands and thousands have been sold. There’s a handful for sale on reverb. Yet a ton of Kempers and helix’s and other modelers for sale on there. The plug in whiners are just that. They want to sit in front of a computer and buy inexpensive plug ins. Check any pro and are they on stage with a plug in? No they’re using the quad.
@@Utubesup7890you may have convinced me to replace my gt 1000 for the quad.
I really want to be able to blend two dirty amps and two clean amps and be able to switch between the two blended sounds without switching patches.
Hope I’m explaining it correctly.
Thanks for your input.
GT sounds like it has a blanket over it
If he used same cab I doubt you could even notice what it was what.
Yep
nope. It's how you EQ your patches and volume level
I think it's the blanket of mediocrity that wraps around these units like gt or zoom etc.. Also QC sounds like there's a 70% of raw direct sound blended with a 30% of capture/model of the amp used + effects.
I much prefer the sound of the captures in the QC over the models. I think the models are good, but the captures are in another league and it’s no wonder that Neural’s own literature labels the capturing process as it’s flagship feature. I too like the reverb, delay and pitch FX on the QC, but I find some of the modulation FX wanting in areas. Whilst it is nice to have the models, I do wonder if things would have worked out better at launch if they abandoned the amp modelling altogether and spent the time on the FX and developing more captures. Even so, it is an amazing product, and the UI alone is one reason to buy and persevere with it.
AT LAST! A review starting with clean and OD sound nuances, not comparing death, trash, gore and speed metal sounds. Thanks!
The GT1000 presets are all set to 5 meaning Bass, Mid, Treble, Presence, are all set to 5. Where the quad cortex sounds like it is set for best sound? I take that back he has the gt 1000 bass set to 80? and treble set to 50 this is enough to see that is why the Cortex sounds better
In the beginning the volume is low on the 1000core and the quad sounds like your about to overdrive your recording device.
As much as I Love all 9 of my Boss pedals, the Quad Cortex won hands down here for me.
Disagree the Boss Marshall had character to it the quad was just trying to emulate a marshall that's the difference
@@spada60 that's the beauty of it all. We all hear something different and are entitled to a different view.
@@spada60 My point being, since I already have an NS-2, GE-7, RT-20, TU-12, RV-6, DD-7, CE-5, TR-2 and a BF-2, I just don't see the benefit of me getting a GT-1000.
@@spada60 disagree with you. The quad wins out on all other modelers.
The GT 1000 sounds like the treble has a heavy rolloff.
So you’re gigging with the Neural and you use the restroom. You notice that the floor is ‘wet’. Then you step on some of the switches. Now you want to change a parameter or two and have to touch those switches then play your guitar. Then your want to do some fingerpicking and you hold the pick momentarily with your teeth. Do you see where I’m going? I don’t care how great it sounds, that’s a deal breaker. How many of you wipe your gear down with Cavi-Wipes?
Neural simulation modern , gt1000 simulation clasic tone
Old video - anyway
I‘ve used the QC for about a year replacing a Kemper but a couple of weeks ago I tried again the gt 1000 and I‘ll start to replace the QC with it.
Why? The playing feel and response is my top criteria and Boss beats the competition here - by far in my opinion
That and the x-amps are so much fun (After some Deep dives into EQ and Divider magic)
Qortex sounded much more appealing to me when testing marshall type of sound especially. Boss sounds thinner to me. Thanks for comparison :)
Dokladnie tak to slychac.
I agree, but absolutely not $1,500 more.
@@loveaboveall2382 I totally agree with you
Thank you very much for the great insight. Excellent video as always. Only if the IR loading was less fiddlier on GT-1000. It would have been a real formidable option then. AIRD cabs not too shabby but.
You should try this trick on the GT1000: ua-cam.com/video/d6inJfGzyX8/v-deo.html&lc=
Basically if you can’t afford a qc or don’t need it’s bells and whistles consider getting this.. otherwise the cortex wins for a variety of reasons.
LOL- I love it. Put a fork in the near $2k QC when it is now being compared to a $500 (lightly used) Boss pedal!
The QC was the most overhyped box on the planet. Technically, I would give the edge to the QC and it does sound noticeably better (much more power) but come on now.
For most of us, the GT-1000 would work just fine and BY FAR THE BETTER VALUE. When Fractal updates the UI on the FM9- I will buy another one. QC is lacking with effects. QC set a new standard in on unit editing.
I might buy a QC as a backup if the price drops below $100 US- LOL...but seriously.
Often can't tell much difference in tests like this but the Boss sounds like you're listening with your fingers in your ears compared to the DSP which is much more definitive.
Hi Sean, you can get the boss to have more clarity by tweaking but I wanted to show the initial settings.
Qc blows gt 1000 out of the water. I use analog stuff with a Marshall jcm 800 Amp. Still I am intrigued with QC , Headrush and lastly the helix Lt. Boss effects I never liked, they sound muddy and blurry no matter what you do. Tho tbh I haven't found a modeler that captures dirty pushed Marshall sounds to my satisfaction.
The Quad Cortex has better sounding lead tones, easier interface, and has a profiler...but I can't justify it at three times the price of the Core which has everything I need...
I can. It’s that good. Feel and sound. The UI. Selling all my other modelers.
The price points are totally different!!But the Boss is the boss!
Lmfao .. the Boss sounds like crap … literally sounds like a $200 Boss pedal. QC wipes the floor with that POS Boss
Nope. Try the quad and then come back with your thoughts.
The Neural is a bit louder and has a touch more reverb. The Boss GT a bit drier.
Eu ainda acho que o Cortex soa melhor, com mais medios e mais limpo, mas acredito que com paciência se pode chegar a timbres ótimos no GT1000. Muito bom o vídeo, parabéns
Eu já achei o contrário, e com paciência se pode chegar a timbres ótimos na Cortex. A realidade é que a maioria dos equipamentos hoje você chega ao som que deseja, a diferença é qual chega com mais facilidade e te da mais recursos para isso.
No show ninguém vai notar a diferença!! A questão são os outros músicos.
i think we are talking taste here, i recall doing a amp workshop (approx 200 years ago) in my studio with 10 different amps and 5 guitarists, the conclusion (everybody agreed) was:
one is used to his sound and looks for it on any amp and if he cant find it - he does not like the amp. we called it "trapped" in your sound.
in my opinion, regarding the money, the gt wins ,even if i dont like rolands/boss`s proprietary behaviours, BUT one must admit these things are undestructable,
and frankly i do not really fiddle around with my sounds once on stage,
too i think the touchscreen on the QC could be risky on punk shows (drunk morons front stage).
i seriously was thinking of QC as it would be fun and less gearporn on "livingroom gigs" having bass and two gtrs running through one device.
but then you have the preset switching latency...
and not to forget: thanks for your videos!!
ps: with roadie i bring my plexi anyway
Thanks for the comment, and yes completely agree. Enjoy the Plexi gigs.
Man, do a bunch of patches like these ones for the boss gt 1000 core and I will buy them whatever the price will be❤️
Hi robert there are free gt1000 patches on the studio rats website
@@TheStudioRats Just downloaded them, they sound amazing
Really didn't think the GT-1000 Marshall sound stood up against the QC .. In every other respect I thought it was as good or better, but that Marshall sounded more like a DS-1 into a Roland Cube rather than a Marshall .. Was that using the built in cab on the GTK?
Quad Cortex sounds better some times, but not always, there are different sounds but not one better than others, I would suggest one blind test and I would expect surprises.
Another point: The Quad Cortex seems to sound with more treble / mids by default. Tweaking the global EQ of the GT-1000 I think the sounds would be even more similar.
One cost $950 the other $3.400
Not even close with the Marshall. the sound coming from the Boss sounded like it had a wet blanket over it. that was absolutely night and day right there.
Remember one is $800 and one is nearly 2 grand.
I almost thought you'll play every breath you take

Howdy!! I have a video suggestion!! How to incorporate the GT1000 and the Quad Cortex through the MIDI device on the GT1000. Since the Quad Cortex has improved tremendously over the past year, I believe there are thousands of musicians who are trying to use the GT1000 and the Quad Cortex together; especially for LIVE performances and mixing/recording. BYE
Just got myself the GT-1000CORE and I'm really impressed. I also have an Axe FX at home but wanted to have something to just pop in my gig bag. Honestly this thing is amazing and a lot of fun to work with. I did a lot of comparison between the HX Stomp and the CORE before committing to one of those units and the CORE sounded better to me (which is totally subjective). Also the "feel" of the unit is really great. I think at this point modellers have become so good that it merely boils down to personal preference. Boss is definitely did their homework though.
nice one cheers Raichoo
QC sounds more "open" where the boss patch sounds rubbery or somewhat muted.
The Quad is more than twice the price of of the Core , don’t think it is twice as good , with a little eq , the Boss can keep up with the QC , going to get the Gt 1000 core !
I came across this video again and I dig it, it is a very good comparison. Now owning the GT1000 core for a few years I can say it holds really well in terms of tone quality. According to Boss they captured the amps together with the corresponding cabs however on some amps it is not a very good capture of the cab, one you switch it to a 3rd party IR you are good. I would have been nice if they had invested more time in the IR loading function as being able to run one at a time is kind of limiting. The feel of the device is very amp like, it responds really well to your dynamics and honestly if you use the manual mode plus add an external footswitch you have enough options.
The reason I do not use it more live is that when running it with tube amps it has been kind of noisy, at least in the 4 cable situation. You even have some weird stuff that happens when you bring the volume function assigned to the expression pedal when running outside gain pedals. It is almost as if part of the signal remains in there going while you have killed the voulme. I find that the unit has several of these types of "gremlins" outside the box and it should not be the customer''s job to fish for a solution for each one of these things. I have had more success just using it as a standalone modeler. Has anyone experienced something similar.
People have mentioned using dummy plugs in the Send/Return and the Sub doesn't get fed back into the unit.See the Parameters Guide
Easy answer is does it spark joy, and how much you have in your wallet? Don't bother trying to save some money just to get a QC. You're not gonna get night and day difference. I tried Helix, GT, GE300 and Hotone ampero. I preference is like this GT > Ampero > Helix > GE300. So price doesn't rule the satisfaction I get from the unit
I liked the clean on the Boss and the drive on the QC but I think it was mostly because the QC sounded brighter and more cutting the Boss sounded much darker but I suppose that could be adjusted with some EQ. Thanks for the demo.
I thought the same thing - wonder if it can be tweaked by adjusting treble on Boss? BUT - I really dig the patch screen on the QC and the BOSS doesn't have ANY type of scratchpad or screen to show what the buttons are setup for - big downfall imo
Put the same IR into each unit and then play. The QC is only worthwhile if your capturing IR's. But there's a million of them available and most people don't have a room full of cabs or can't capture them with a decent mic anyway. The Core is 1/4 - 1/3 the price. If you're home recording it's the obvious choice. If you're not, the Fractal line is far and away better than the QC and it's not even close. Maybe QC ups their game someday. Maybe not.
One big consideration: here in Spain the QC is nearly 3 times the price of the Boss.
Ok the QC sounds prolly better with highlighted mids, and generally more present. In other patches the GT sounded better. I wouldn't say the QC is sooo better that will make me sell the boss GT 1000 i have.
I agree stick with your GT 1000
I’m a boss guy but to my ear cortex sounds more natural as GT1000 sounds more digital
What i do miss in this video....To get a real comparison between the 2 units, a real common speakercabinet should be should used, instead of the units with their own soundcolored IR's.
You have a big problem with your ears
I've owned a lot of Boss units and I love the flexibility of the unit itself. You can do some amazing things with Boss multi-fx units.
That said, Boss still has that blanket-over-the-speaker sound when compared to other units when it comes to distortion sounds. That is also the case here. I don't know the Quad Core unit but to my ears, its seems to have more life than the GT-1000. That is not to say that the Gt-1000 doesn't sound good; it does. I just think the Quad Core sounds a little better.
Should be interesting to hear both trhough the same IR :)
My rabbit hole of viewing comparison videos between the QC and others, stops here. And my final word is... In every video that compares the QC to any of its competitors, the QC consistently sounds more like a real amp than anything else out there. As a former Kemper and AxeFX owner, I'm very familiar with the process and the sounds that come with it. The Kemper has always been one of the best modeling/ profilers out there. But the arrival of the QC has raised the bar for realism.
I got rid of my Kemper. It was always missing the feel and the sound. Rig manager was a nightmare. No cell unless you want to pay about $100 for that connection on the rack or toaster. Helix not as good in feel or sound either. Another ui not as good. Feel and sound not as good. Never used Kemper or helix. Someone else will enjoy them. Quad is on another level. Better level.
The Quad Cortex is alittle brighter or stronger on the "treble" frequency. I believe, the GT1000 can also adjust (EQ'd) to sound like Quad Cortex. Why do I say that....well, I still using my Boss GT10 in the last 15 years. Lol. I've been able adjust everything to sound like a real amp. I have also bought GT100 and I've returned it. I saw that, my GT100 is no better than my GT10. Then last year, I finally bought Helix (based on everyone's full four STARs on internet reviews), I was so disappointed and I returned it. Now, I went back to my old GT10. So, I believe, if they want to buy less money, the GT1000 should be able do everything. If you have $2000, I would rather buy GT1000 ($650) and save $1,300 to buy other things you want. This my opinion.
The Helix is great once you get the hang of it. It is fantastic after these updates.I have the GT1000 too.
I’m gonna buy a GT Core anytime soon, and now you got me wondering about the GT10 I left at my dad’s house years ago…hmm
just ordered the Quad Cortex...I already have a helix. I keep both. One will be for recording and one will be for performing.
GT sounds very artificial on the dirty tones
Very well done comparison. Imo Quad had much more highs in the Marshal test. Maybe they could sound more similar with some EQing.
They both sound amazing, but it's waaay easier to set a good tone with the QC. I had a GT1000 before and got a QC a few months ago... it's just insane!
It seems like he's demonstrating both with the "stock" tone. But, i guess if adjust the same IR in both both unities, and tweak enough, it'll sound more close. Of course, QC is superior, but, the price range is superior as well. GT1000 does a great job. The effects are great.
The GT-1000 Core really didn’t shine with the Marshall amp. I had the regular GT-1000 that served me well for many years but I greatly prefer the Quad Cortex.
Disagree the Boss Marshall had character to it the quad was just trying to emulate a marshall that's the difference
@@spada60 Well we all hear things slightly differently. I prefer the QC, you prefer the GT-1000. All is still right with the world.
The GT-1000 Core is good enough for Johnny Marr then its good enough for me.
The clean sound great and very similar on both units with much more bass on the QC and im entirely sure that with just some EQ tweaks they could sound pretty much identical.When it comes to the distortion there is no contest though in this video, the QC sound so much better than the GT-1000, its certainly possible that there is a way to get the GT-1000 to sound close to the QC with different IR´s and EQ etc, who knows, no guarantees for that however. I say this as someone who has used and loved Boss products including modelers for decades but dont own any of these units.
QC sounds sooo much better through headphones.
I really thought the QC sounded much better - a bit like a high quality wav file vs a lower quality MP3. Just kinda muffled/blurry sounding. At really high volumes live I think the Quad Cortex would be a lot more lively and cut more. Definitely getting the QC.
It did sound better.
Yea, I want one too, but still want the gt core for my board
hi did you connect Quad Cortex to powered monitor or power amp to cab?
Very interesting. IMO, the price of QC doesn't worth it. For the same price you can get a Fractal FM3. Indeed, I'd really appreciate a comparison between GT1000 and FM3...
True and now there is a MKII FM3. Bigger fonts and 10% more DSP. FM9 is the future.
They both sound great. But for the price difference I could buy a really good active speaker. So hard to decide.
Me gusta más el distorsión del Boos gt1000
Paul .. Try the FM3 !!
very helpful video to understand that gt1000 quality
Thanks Paul for this video. I have precisely been torn between these two units at the moment. I love Neural DSP plug-ins however I expected to see more variation in the effects section of the unit.
Gt1000 sounds more muffled. Is the volume level equal with the qc?
Disagree the Boss Marshall had character to it the quad was just trying to emulate a marshall that's the difference
The last note (open E) when first demonstrating the "Marshall Tone" on both units tells me a lot. The Quad sounds more open here but it sounds like it may be down to cabinet/mic choice. The Boss sounds more distant but the way it breaks up sounds really great to me.
Sounds like eqalisation is different between them. More mids in gf and more highs in quad. Maybe a tweak would make them closer...
Came here to kill my GAS for the Quad Cortex, but to my ears the quad cortex sounds better / more pleasing through all the examples. Can’t put my finger on it, but I just prefer the Quad Cortex
I sale kemper and qc because it’s stupid price like tonemaster pro for this machine .
Now I keep one gt1000 for 550€ is perfect price for me .
"Good" is relative. Without comparing, there's nothing to compare. They both sound good.
Well it took me a year to finish watching this...lol. Has anyone noticed that modelers have a higher fidelity than their valve counterparts? At the end of the day, ANY of the modern modelers can replace valve amps in gigging. The average music fan could NEVER tell like we can, right?
QC wiped the floor with Boss. I'd bet that, if you wanted to, you could make the qc's Marshall sound like the GT. But you could never make the GT sound like the QC.
Thanks for the honest opinion on these two units!
Boss gx 100 is way better than the Gt 1000 and the fractal FM 3 is the best even better than the DSP core
Nice comparison. Keep in mind its 2024, technology has come a very long way so all these multi-effects units sound amazing and it really comes down to personal preference.
Quad cortex is three times the price so it obviously sounds three times better than the Boss ( sarcasm)
QC is 3X the price of the Boss and I guess almost 4X the Helix. Did you really expect it to sound worse? Of course it's a better device, of course it's not 3X better. Get it if you got 1K to waste on details that you'll be the only one to notice.
Can you remember which amp model you used for the GT1K Marshall tone?
I have both i am happy with both i really don’t care
The GT1000 Marshall tone sounds like a blanket is over the speaker. I would be curious to know what would happen if you placed a buffered pedal before the GT1000.
I didn't know you would call the core just the gt-1000 so I'm off to study the difference.
I actually preferred the boss GT 1000 core
Seems like the global EQ isn’t set as robust as the QC. Stock sounds without tweaking on either seems not very accurate.
Im sure GTK was used in original cab. The 'blanket over' tone literally sucks. Lol
