Boss GT-1000 - Can It Replace My Valve Amps For Recording?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2021
- Ever since I got the Boss GT-1000 it has completely changed the way I think about recording guitars in my studio. I thought I would shoot a video of a guitar recording session where I use the BOSS GT1000 for all the guitar parts. 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.
Sounds so freaking amazing, GT-1000 surely can sound top tier stuff.
Its a really good unit.
From all the vids I've watched, it all comes down to the user of the machine. And old mate does a great job!
Sounds great..... probably the worst user-friendly board in the history of the industry.
Great content as always. Great tones and separation! Love it!
Thanks for listening
I really don't understand why you don't have more views and likes... content is top quality, and the way you explain your setup and everything you do is just spot on and I learn a lot.
I'm glad I found this channel when looking for some GT1000 Core tips and tricks...
I appreciate that!
I agree bro people should sub to him
You're absolutely right! This channel is one of my main source of GT -1000 info (I have the full GT-1000 model). The quality is top notch and should have more subs/likes. I also liked the video comparison between GT-1000 and the Quad Cortex. I think I'll save a few hundred dollars...
Good job in making an informative video. This was wonderful!
Wow! That was an entire song writing/recording tutorial + answers the question. Freakin awesome! Thank you brother 🎶
New sub fo sho. 👍
The song, the sound, the feel.......immediately captures .....very smooth! Nice job!
cheers Roland
Such a beautiful mix. Love it!
Cheers Prashanta.
Your vids helped me decide on the Boss GT-1000 as my new effects rig/standalone for practice. Thanks
This sounds EXCELLENT. Very tasteful playing.
Fantastic vid! Someone mentioned your channel in one of John Cordy vids about the Boss GT 1000 core. I'm glad they did because this gives me a better idea of what the GT 1000 Core can do. Thanks!
Welcome aboard!
Very nice. Simple yet effective. I dig your style. Sounds great sir. 👍
Thank you kindly!
I just recently bought the GT1000! It now has replaced my huge pedal board! So many awesome tones and impulse responses. I love that I can also download patches.
A fabulous little video appreciated greatly by me. Thank you!!
Glad you got something out of it Michael.
great sound, even better chops. nice stuff dude. subscribed.
Cheers Chris.
Brilliant examples on how to structure multiple guitar parts and still have them all identifiable in the mix. Your playing is tasteful and perfect for the song, as always. Sending this vid off to my old band buddies!
Cheers Kevin.
I totally agree with this!
Not my genre but boy by the end I could really tell and it made all the difference! That tele though!!
You sound great!! the mix is brilliant!!
Cheers mate.
Just a huge amount of helpful information…. and I just loved that song!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey Paul! I downloaded your breakup and ultimate patches and I've been A/B'ing them all morning with some of my other favorite CORE patches. They sound fantastic! I don't even run a stereo rig - strictly mono. Thanks for sharing those, because they are going to give me hours of enjoyment.
That’s awesome, I’m glad you are benefiting from them.
Thx Paul. Really nice presentation not only on the equipment itself but also the arrangements between the three guitar parts and how you achieve depth and breadth sonically. Maybe a future video on how to record acoustic guitar parts and how it’s mixed in with electric. Appreciate the great work and sharing of your talents and experience.
Thanks Michael, thats a good idea for a video, ill look into it.
Excellent Video, Guitar Sound and great Song!
Much appreciated
This sounds so good!
Cheers Chris.
Another great video..!!
Paul, except from the fact that gt-1000 is a very good processor, you are such a great musician with imagination. That's the main thing for me. I think that a good musician can make it work , both ways..
Thanks for sharing!! 🎸🙏
Many thanks!
Paul love your videos - always excellent. When I record I record both the effected sound plus the guitar DI. If later I decide that the "baked in" effects need changing, I simply reamp the DI recording back through the Boss and adjust as necessary. That way I don't have to use VSTs or other plugins. I'm using the GX100 (which is superb) but I think you can do the same with the 1000 models.
No matter what you play on you always sound GREAT !
Excellent content man! sounds great, perfect image for UA-cam. What else?
I love your videos man :) especialy on GT1000core side. keep it up!, Do a video about wiring this nice boss ES8, I think I will adapt this idea :)
second that request.
Thanks, will do!
Thanks for the insight
These tones have caused me to put a GT1000 core on hold at a local music store - not a modeler guy but gotta give this a try. 👍
Great tips in here Paul. Said it before but that track really is awesome and Ralphs vocals top drawer. Great listening. Tell me was he really reading the lyrics of his mobile 🤣
cheers, yes we wrote the song in a hotel room in Spain and the video is Ralph recording the vocals reading the lyrics on his phone.
0:37 so cool Rick Graham vibe!
Sounds petty great to me!
I am really enjoying playing mine thru two Nextone stages thru the fx loops. The last update on my GT 1000 has added these amps as AIRD output options and the onboard amps seem to sound how they should (as far as i can tell). Neat stereo effects that are new too. Loving how flat I am able to run the eqs. Have you done (or could you do) a vid on how to rig one onboard amp thru one side and a different one thru the other? I can run two amps easily but can't figure out how to separate them into one channel each. Got to be something simple I am missing... would appreciate any help w this, been scouring UA-cam with no success
I think the GT-1000 is really a great tool and maybe the best multeffectspedal on the market right now (October 2023). Tried one out for a period earlier this year and was blown away by the sound and the feel….Haven’t decided yet to wait for the next generation from Boss or to get this one….Great playing 😊👍🎸
Great video Paul as always! I came across you through your review of the Spark and have now pretty much watch all of your videos. Great content! Look forward to the next one. What song is that? It sounds like a tune 👌🏻
Awesome, thank you! here’s a link to the song ua-cam.com/video/wzORlPkMWWI/v-deo.html
@@TheStudioRats Thanks Paul 👍🏻
This is a perfect example of the audience doesn't care what you play through, it's all in how it feels. If you didn't tell us it was guitar modeling, we'd never know the difference. Really great sound from the GT-1000, and most importantly, killer musicianship skills in the arrangement and performance.
Wholeheartedly agree. What good is all the best gear analog tube whatever if you can’t write a riff or a song worth playing in your car
sounds great, im getting one and a fulltone aby then getting a bit of tube from my mini rec to add a tiny bit from my 57 and wgs 10 inch cab, then blend , this has the fidelity and dosent sound like every others amp out there , i feel it does need to be blended though just needs that something, maybe a tube pedal in front of it
amazing
Great musician and great sound, congratulations.
May I ask what the GT1000 Core output is connected to and if you use IR in your preset?
Thank you.
Hi Paul great video as always, love your playing it inspires me want to practice. Not sure if this applies to the GT1000 but on the Helix I can send a wet signal through channels 1 & 2 and dry through 7 & 8, I monitor the wet signal through a power cab and it cuts down on the RTL in the DAW. Maybe the GT1000 has a similar set up for recording just the dry signal ?
Hi Lee. Cheers! That’s a great tip I’ll look into it.
Awesome tones. Will you be making these settings available in the near future? Thanks much..
it's awesme man. Paul, do you make other video's also for recording vocals in studio one? Compressor settings , input gain, eq settings etc.?
Hi Mike, funny enough we are planning on a few of those vids.
Great sounds and playing! How are you powering this unit? Are you using the provided plug or have you found a way to power it from a power supply eg. Voodoo Labs/ 1 spot? Love the channel and just bought myself a Core :)
Sounds amazing! Would love to hear the finished song if there's a version available.
What If The World Didn’t Turn (featuring Ralph van Manen)
Hi Paul,I had an 18w Marshall that i used to mike up etc,.I did a back to back one day with my Atomic Amplifire AA12 .Sold the Marshall as the AA sounded better,was easier to interface,less noise and no valve servicing or lugging around.Lol happy.
That first guitar part fits the song perfectly.
The chorus of that song borrows heavily from, and at times is identical to, Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb’s melody. Every time I’ve accidentally written a song that borrows a melody from another song, even slightly, my band mates would immediately trash it. Im glad you guys kept it.
This is one of the most ridiculous comments I’ve ever seen on the internet. Anywhere. Ever. Are you tone deaf?
Hey great video...but you my friend have one hell of a ear for music... especially guitar... awesome 😎
Thanks!
Beautiful song ! what studio speakers would be enough for gt1000 and home playing ? I would like to set it that way, thank you, love your channel
Getting to know by GT1000 full unit better with the help of your videos, thank you for great content! The guitar parts really sound massive. I wonder what you'd do in a live situation to recreate the atmosphere of this song? A lot of it is contributed by those massive guitar layerings.
Great video as usual ! just curious about your signal chain. boost pedal (via Boss ES-8) => GT1000 (Used as an interface itself) => Daw ? 0r do you hook the GT1000 to another interface ? thanks !
i noticed the reverse boost to take the edge off most of all, as that did seem to solve the type of problem i expect with processors. did you ever answer the question in the title of the video? have you replaced valve amps for recording? do you prefer the boss and is it convenience or tone? do you ever say, "i better bust out the amp for this part" ? curious about live as well. great song and great guitar parts, btw!
Thank you Paul, very inspiring video as always . How in just a few words could you describe the difference between the katana and the gt 1000, is there a substantial difference in sound quality...
S. K. Cheers! Yes there is a big difference. The new processors are far more advanced. More clarity and realism. The Katana is great but it is a more budget item.
@@TheStudioRats Thanks Paul for your immediate response.
its all i needed to know.
So can it replace your beautiful collection of valve amps???🤔
You are great.!! keep on.!!!
Greetings from Greece.
Great song
This answer some of my questions about the GT. I'm not a professional musician. I just want to know if the GT good enough to make okay or better home recordings. I would feel comfortable playing an amp in my apartment for more than 20 minutes.
SOUNDS GREAT, i have a gt 1000, but can´t get a sound like that yet
Hey Paul! Such a inspiring song my man! Question: I have a ES-8 and considering the gt1000 or a helix stomp as a tool box for sounds. I currently separate my effects (reverb delays etc) into a effects loop of my amp to keep them clean. Wondering how you use this live? Do you run all of the GT to front of your amp or can you take the effects part of it and route it into a effects loop. Am kinda thinking I would have to use this running all of it through my effects loop and treat it as a second amp using only my power section. Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers Matt! Either would work fine. Or you could use 4 cable method.
Great! Actually interested on the song, is available somewhere to added to my playlist?
I really like the song
cheers Brian.
Good one
Amazing content, just wondering why are you using two compressor pedals ? Cheers
Love this song btw

@@TheStudioRats had already purchased it on Google Play 🙂
Paul - As a guitarist, I really appreciate your videos, especially on the GT-1000. Could you please explain how you record your guitar work using your GT-1000. Are you using the USB directly from the GT-1000 or just using the analog output from the back of the GT-1000? I'm using LUNA and Pro Tools. Would really appreciate any guidance you can provide? And how can I contribute to your coffee fund? Appreciate you Paul.
Hey Kevin. I use the Jack outs on the GT1000 straight into my Apollo interface. As you cant use any other interface with LUNA this is he only way and I’m really happy with it. Thanks for asking about BuyMeACoffee the link is here if you want it. www.buymeacoffee.com/Fa5cEOe
3:10 You'd have a good point if you were saying this was the easiest solution, but you are strongly implying it's the only solution. Just use the multiple outs from the GT-100, one output to send the guitar input RAW to the DAW, and the second cooked. If you decide later you want to play with the cooking, just pipe the raw track back out to the daw and re-record it. I've been doing that since like 1985.
Nice
Thanks
Great video, as always. I like the pedalboard, it custom made? DIY? thx
It’s made by Alder and Ash pedalboards
I'm a new GT1000 user... Can you please do a video showing how you create the tones you played... The clean, the shimmer and the drive....
Kinda wish I saw this before buying the Line 6 Pod Go.... :)
The pod go is great.
The GT1000 is a real good device. But i still use the old GT100. ( coming out in 2012). If I like to buy something new, what should happen with the older devices ? Selling them is not really an option because the used market is full of those and therefore the prices are low.
Hi Paul have you tried the UAD ruby or any of their amp pedals? Just wondering how they stack up to the boss in your opinion?
Do you ever you the other channels on the Katana apart from the clean? I compared the brown channel to the clean with a distortion pedal, and it felt better to play with picking dynamics with the pedal. I want to get a GT 1000 core to use with an eventide H9 I have, the GT 1000 is better than the Helix stomp I reckon that they all rave about
I only use the clean, I’m not keen on the others.
Amazing tones!! Where can I get this preset?
sounded amazing. i like my amp to have two channels. an edge of break up and a driven tone. i don't touch the amp settings at all other than switching from channel 1 - 2. so basically, if i can get a simple modeler with this type of operation at the end of my pedal board, and sound like your tones, i'd be a happy man. less real amp gigs.
i know that i'd be using bugger all of the options, but i prefer less so i play more than tweak stuff.
The GT1000 core has SO many hidden features that blow me away. Did you know that when you split the signal path, you can actually have it dynamically choose which path to use based on how hard you pick, or send different frequencies down different paths? That’s nuts! You can also program a button to drop your tone a half step or full step, essentially going from standard tuning to drop D, without actually changing the tuning on you guitar. So cool.
I found this excellent UA-camr showing some incredible overlooked features… ua-cam.com/video/GeGkpyfnUSk/v-deo.html
I know how to turn the patch channel....still looking for n on off switch
@@holysmoke8439 I just have mine connected to the main power supply on my pedal board. When the pedal board goes on/off, so does the GT1000
@@IamMusicNerd so I think u said it doesn't have one....at that price it should have.l
I gave it a go, and can say that for high gain, it's a no go. The noise gate is not great and the amp models are more noisy than a real amp with any kind of significant gain.
Switched to the Headrush Prime and looks like I'll be keeping this one :)
I have a question sir = is it possible to use the Cab-Sims independently from Amp Blocks ?
.....or find a way to do so with some very neutral type of Amp.....
Hi Paul, great sound.
Is the gt 1000 connected via USB or with the L R outputs?
Thanks and very good videos.
It’s the same sound but this was via the l and r outs
Gotta admit the guitar sits really well in the mix
Paul, what reactive load you find the best? Im eyeballing this Boss amp expander.. worth extra money? No giging pure recording usage.
It’s really good, especially if you need the 100 watt in built amp. I use an ox a two notes torpedo studio and a tube amp expander all sound great.
Nice shirt
Hey Paul, How does this compare to the Quad Cortex? Thanks.
I just ordered the GT-1000 core. Can you please tell me your signal chain? Do you have your dirt pedals before the GT1000 or in it's loop? Cheers!
dirt pedal before the gt1000
👍🎸🎶😊
I want a board like yours analog/ digital do you have midi switching there or just in the loops ?
Yes I’m using midi switching from the es8 to the boss gt1000
just wondering with the current digital technology how much does the guitar actually matter? seems like you can recreate virtually anything so maybe it's just a matter of playing a guitar that's comfortable to you. i'm personally still a 100% analog guy :)
Whether you are an analog or a digital guy the guitar still matters waaaaay less than you think...the thing that matters is where you plug your guitar into and nowadays unlike decades ago there are countless options and they most of them sound excellent.....
Yes Yes it CAN!
Do you feel this sounds better to the GX100? Ive been listening back and forth in your videos, and the GT1000 to me sounds much more open. There is some kind of narrowness to the sound of the GX100 that I can hear. What do you think?
Personally I prefer the GX but on paper the GT should be better.
I wish i could afford the gt1k core soon
Wow...such talent and friggin' awesome sound from the GT1000 anyone want to buy my Mesa Boogie Express??
Great tone, man.
But... tell me why, the hell, your GT1000 patches sound sooo different In my room with my guitars...? :) In your videos sound is amazing, but in my room... ok.
Have a nice day!
Hey, thanks! I’m using the GT stereo going into my interface, if you are plugged into an amp it wont sound the same.
@@TheStudioRats i’m using the GT1000 mono going into ZOOM L12 or Scarlett 2i2. ;) Fender Telecaster and Gibson SG. It sounds ok, but no so amazing as you. I don’t know where i make a mistake ;) but... maybe your hands is a clue of my problem :D
Gona use that song in our dewo
I like this song. What’s its name?
Record with the ft 1000 and record a d.i. at same time then re amp if needed
So the answer is Yes it can. Sounds so good maybe switch to the gt1000 now..
How would you use Ms 3 with GT 1000
core
what would you recommend ? gt1000(full size) or the gx100?
Vocal melody is similar to chorus of Ashes to Ashes by FNM
damn I’m never original.
coming late to the party, how does it sound through a boss katana 100 mkII?
Why?
Who needs valve amps
What IR's did you use here at the end?
Just the inbuilt ones
Dear Santa....
GT1000 Core
Is that a 50s custom shop?
It is, its a 52.
