One thing I've learned with the GT1000 is you DO NOT need to crank the level on the T-Scream to get the boost you want going into the high gain amps (this isn't the case on other modelers). You must adjust the SAG and RESO to achieve the sound you want on the high gain amps. It really makes a world of difference.
The reverbs are awesome on this thing. Really nice being able to adjust the low/high pass on them.
Also, IR Loader is super slow.
Awesome new amp models, hoping for a GX100 update that includes them 😅
GT1000 has the best processor and lowest latency. New models only turns high Gain easier to reach, with less eq-working and gain chain. For me still the best unit.
If you've never actually used this unit, you can't appreciate what it is beyond what you're hearing on a UA-cam video. Beyond the simplistic display is probably one of the best "feeling" modelers out there in terms of how it feels "under the hand". In the settings, you can adjust the "feel" sensitivity or response ,according to the pick-ups in your guitar. I also like that there isn't 9 million different amps and cabs so the unit relies on you to create your own tones using the quality amp bases.
Thank you for that important snippet. It sounds like BOSS should engage you to produce a couple of GT1000 videos. I am so tired of these METAL based reviews of equipment.
@@undercrackers56 I definitely would!!
Totally agree. The same opinion as you. Great unit 😊
Your comment just gave me the push to order the core
Pumped
@@ChrisAdkins1985 Give it a chance. There are enough tools inside to allow you to create 'YOUR" sound. Explore and find out for yourself!!
I'm really glad they added the SD-1. Couldn't believe it was missing for all these years.
Awesome video as always! I’ve had the GT for 3 years nows. I am pairing it with my Tonex but these new amps sound absolutely killer
How do you pair w the tonex?
@@far1es I run the tonex thru one of the FX loops on the GT.
@samuelalmanza49 how's that work? Was thinking of doing same thing w tonex one
@@far1es I got the one also and it is ideal for gigging. It’s so easy and you can’t really beat the sound off the captures. Minimal set up time and everything you would want at your feet with the GT.
Great job going through these amps. I love my GT1000 and I’m glad Boss is still developing an already great product
The GT-1000 doesn’t get enough credit. I have one. It really is very good. Certain UI stuff is clunky, like setting the outputs and IRs. But I actually prefer having everything laid out in one view. Zero latency patch switching is fantastic. And this unit is fantastic for running only effects with a real amp.
What a nice surprise sd-1 is my favourite pedal, thanks for the demo, great to still get product support late in it's life cycle. Nice one Boss. Sounds killer if you use an fx send out to a small valve amp fx return and real cab.
for a moment I thought that song near the start of the video was going to be a high gain version of "Scotty doesn't know" .
Haha, Johnny doesn't know (that song)
I heard it right away too. 😂 it’s like if Four Year Strong did it.
I thought the same thing!!!
Came to the comments to see if anyone else thought this :'D
I own two of them. One as a backup. For me, It was not that easy to learn at first. I found it to have an exponential learning curve. However, once one gets their head wrapped around the entire system, any tone can be created that is pleasing to the ear. It took me about a year and a half to get my head wrapped around the system. It forced me to learn EQ. EQ is everything when it comes to superior tone. The GT1000 replaced my 80lb peddle board.
This is the reason for 4 eq blocks, I used two on each amp line, one for single coil and another for humbuckers
Ah finally! I was hoping you get your hands on one of these!
Was always a fan of the 6 . Opeth were using them live for a longtime and they sounded great .
Just received my GTK yesterday and I play metal. That's amazing news! 🤘🏻
Great work Jon!
Buying the CORE today. Been wanting to add a multi effects/midi control to my Friedman IR-D And a select few stomp boxes.
From a UA-cam perspective, none of the other modelers have the organic qualities it has
Great review!
Sound brutal 🤘🏽
Holy hell, Roland/Boss actually updated something more than once?! I thought I'd be dead before that happened 🤣
Sounds solid.
Played through these amps a while last night. I think I’ll be using X-Ultra for my chunky rhythms and X-Optima for my main lead tone from now on.
Really hoping we’ll see another 4.x update with some new reverbs or a dimension chorus.
Oh snap. I need to update my GT-1000 like right now.
I'd love you to compare FX from the Boss against Fractal and Helix. Everyone is so focused on the amp models, no one is comparing FX and that would be really helpful information.
So for example, I play funk-metal and the Helix envelopes kinda suck, especially on bass. They just don't react well to the player or sound that good. I ended up buying a Source Audio Spectrum pedal, and the envelopes on that sound a million times better than anything the Helix does, and I've tried so hard to tweak the Helix envelopes. Nothing I do gets close to that pedal.
From the very limited amount of videos online showing FX, I feel that the Boss FX could be substantially better than the Helix, would love to hear your thoughts and comparisons.
Ive been using a GT 1000 Core for years. I actually "downgraded" to it coming from Fractal and Kemper. It just sounds and feels better for me. But I had totally given up on expecting an update with more amps etc.. WELL GUESS WHAT UNIT ALSO GOT AN UPDATE TODAY???? 😁
what is the update called? can you write the driver or tone studio version? I am waiting for one for GX-100.
Help me - just one question , I need a good pedalboard for live gigs - this one or the ampero 2 stage ? - I need to go straight to the PA and I use a lot of effect for a 80’s tribute band -thankkkkksssssss!!!!!!!
Hopefully the GX100 follows suit
Great video man¡¡¡ Can you do a video creating extreme hi gain tones for death metal using the rectistak and the juggernaut?
been a while since i saw a gt-1000 video
the intro sounds like Blink 182 doing metal - you're on to something here
Hi Sir.. did it overwrite your old user patches when you update to V4?.. Thank you
Hey been subscribed for a bit now. Noob yet. Like your style. Do you make tab for the riffs you come up with. You got lots of cool stuff going on in some of them, look forward to learning more. Especially the 40 amps 1 riff. That's a cool jam, I go back and listen to it from time to time cuz it's so catchy. 😁🤘
Really liked my GT1000 Core in combination with my amp but it was a bit to noisy in my setup. Sold it!
you can use a noise gate with fx loop in the fx loop of the GT1000 Core. The order is:
guitar -> noise gate in -> noise gate send -> gt core in -> gt core send -> noise gate return -> noise gate out -> gt core return.
in gt core put the fx loop (in which you use the noise gate) just before the stereo effects possibly before reverb and delay blocks; but after the drive and preamp blocks.
you can use boss ns series pedal, tc sentry or demon fx gstring clone pedal to clear out the unwanted noise.
hope this helps!
Still waiting for someone to cover all the new bass amps.
Hello.. so do you use speaker monitors for listening while tweaking ?
Hello sir, can you please tell me how to record vocal using this pedal?
Is there any interrumption of delays/ reverbs between presets???
Nuno Bettencourt uses the GT-8.
I don’t have my headphones so I can’t listen to the quality like normal but I would like to know, is this update for the core as well?
AFAIK, Yes!
@@SonicDriveStudio well that makes this video waaaay more exciting for me!!! lol thanks John!!!
I was ready to get the Ampero II Stage, now I don't know.
I think its funny that its more expensive than the boss katana artist amps
Why? Cause it doesnt come with a speaker?
GT-1000 Top of the Line product. Just Like Nextone Special, top of the line. Katana is "cheap", that is why it is cheap.
Its not worth $1000
It's actually very functional for live performance, buttons are programmable af, can change anything in a preset with 1 button, turn anything on and off and adjust any parameter or a signal path with one button. It's only available on high end stuff, not cheaper chinese modelers. Unless you just gonna play at home, you need that functionality
Ok imma find second hand unit just to noddle around this
Just got rid of mine because there hasn’t been an update for literal years
Isn’t that always the way?
Will be available for gt1000 core?
Yeah
The problem with this guy's videos is that he could make a baked potato sound like an amazing amp. It all sounds too good, and now I can't decide on what to buy! Leaning towards Fender Tone Master though! Keep up the great work!
Awesome update over view! What string gauge do you use on your Les Paul for drop C?
Drop C# actually, 10s
Can you feel a latency difference compared to fractal? I was always impressed with the ~1ms latency Boss was able to achieve
Both on the Boss and Fractal the latency is super low
Is the same
Too little, too late for me. Owned a Boss GX-100 for a year, no decent firmware/amp/effects updates whilst I had it so I sold it. Part of the appeal of digital is the updates and new additions and Boss seem to fall behind other companies.
I guess you are a bedroom tinkerer, and probably enjoying exploring sounds more than just writing music constantly for financial incentive. Nothing wrong with that, but most musicians who are constantly gigging on regular/tight schedules actually refrain from updating their units so frequently as some bugs might be introduced that might interfere with their performance, hampering their reputation as a musician and directly affecting their income. I have personally had this happen to me live when i used HX Stomp. Now I use GT1K core and cannot be happier. I trust my unit completely
You have the option to update the firmware though, it’s not something that automatically installs? If you’re happy with the current firmware then leave it as is. If your someone who likes updates and new features then you also have the option to update or not.
A Gx100 isnt gt1000. Not even comparable
It’s ok. Nobody is trying to pressure you.
💯 well said. I sold my core q few months ago and am happyy with the stomp. Boss let me down too many times with their last pedals including the synth stuff
No question, it sounds good, really good. But i actually still prefer the time you reamped the same tracks thru your tonex capture of your Dual Rectifier (if I’m correct). That’s just a nod to how good your personal capture came out. ;)
That’s a lot of cash they want
I hate that screen. Thanks for the video!!
I tried one of these after being a Boss GT-100 user for about a decade. It was very noisy even on clean tones. I didn't like the way the amp models worked in the signal chain with cabs and IR's. Maybe there is a way to use 2 separate cabs on a dual amp chain, but I couldn't figure out how so it was not a fit for me. I didn't think the amps were very realistic sounding either and actually thought it was worse than the GT-100 despite being able to use IR's. To each their own.
Probably a faulty unit. I have been using the core for 2+ years in the context of 2 different bands (i play bass in one and guitar in another)
No noise issues whatsoever. I do not even have the noise gate engaged in one of my metal distortion rhythm patches. It has to do with correct input gain for your instrument and also ensuring you are plugging in the power supply into a clean power outlet, and ofcourse check the electronics/wiring of your instrument.
@@adityabali1939I contacted Boss and they had me record sound samples and send them to demonstrate the noise. They said they heard nothing out of the ordinary. The clean tone was so noisy that it was louder than the actual signal from the guitar. I used a custom Carvin guitar that's very quiet. Tried wireless and cable, same results. Sweetwater charged me return shipping despite it being the unit's fault. No matter what I did, the noise was just impossible to make usable recording tones with. I was really disappointed because I had used the GT-100 for a decade without issue or noise.
Why not in 1985, why now, they had the knowledge in that time for sure! 😜
Do any of these reviewers honestly believe what they say about a digital modeler when sitting in front of all their 1000s of dollars in analog gear. 😅😂
Analog and digital can both coexist in harmony!
Really incredible that others can like both, isn't it?
Whats with u digital Guy?😂
I love both digital and analog
@@SonicDriveStudio just kidding man...i think its the way of the future...its almost on par with tubes right now ...imagine in 10 years..
I’m good. Thanks boss it was fun getting to know you but I moved on.
I was thinking, please, could you make a comparison now with all the pedalboards such as the ax fx 3, qc, tone naster pro, ampero 2 stage, etc. but this time including the boss gt 1000? I think it would be interesting. PLEASE.
I'm new to all this so forgive this question, I hàve a gt8 and gt3 , can these be downloaded to them?
Will it come for the gt1000 core version?
I would think so...
@@SonicDriveStudio Could you ask the boss guys please?
Yes, that update is also for the core unit
@@g.e.a.2569 Core is exactly the same with a smaller form factor, yes.
@@kalidesuI know, but you never know
send this unit back to Boss with the message of give it to @OlaEnglund .... he is metal, not someone who try's to 😂😂😂 sorry but funk and country is no go with metal gain
Why so negative mate?
Funk and country? First time I ever heard that 🤣
This is the oddest country demo I have ever heard......
