Just bought one. Blown away by the power of this unit and the sound quality for a very reasonable price. This unit is going to open up every possibility that I need for live playing.
Really a great video! I got the GX-100 recently but didn't realise how powerful it was until now... and it's sounds really amazing! Thanks a lot for your time!
The GX-100 feature Glenn demonstrates at approximately 11:30, brings forth gigantic assigns flexibility! Wonderfully explained and demonstrated. Utilizing this awesome feature really helps me keep my big foot off of the wrong buttons!
Buddy!... Anthony here from Lucky Dog Guitars... I have poked through 40 videos trying to figure out the GX100.... Your video was no nonsense and covered all the stuff I wanted to know! Thanks so much!
Best in-depth explanation and demo of this device that I have seen yet, and I've watched over 20. Just bought this system and it will arrive tomorrow! Can't wait to try some of your inputs. Thanks!
Well done Glenn. I'm sure your Show sounded fantastic as always ! Your real world videos are the best around, BOSS made a brilliant move reaching out to you.
Honestly, the stellar sound out of boss units hasn't convinced me to stick with Boss as much as Glenn Delaune has. This man knows how to get great results out of these units. Aren't we lucky that he shares his knowledge? Is he using a green slurpee straw to designate point of focus on the unit?😅
Thank you so so much for the kind words Sir. THIS is why I have the job that I have and love to do. It's not about brand, it's about music and guitar playing and creativity.
Thank you Glenn always on The Cutting Edge I got started with the GT 10 and your patch sets back in the day which I still have and use but I'm going to make a move to this unit. Thank you Glenn so much I'll be sure to drop by your store soon
Great video ! I like that you showed what patch changes sounded unlike any other video i have seen of the GX-100 before, that is very important information.
Thank you so much for pointing out the power of “current number” assignments. I have a Boss MS-3 which has this capability as well, the only drawback is unlike the GX-100 the switch LED doesn’t change color when the second layer is activated. I actually had to make a small box with a bright LED that I trigger from control out 1 using, you guessed it, the current number feature! Now I know for certain when I’m in the second layer of any patch.
Hi Glenn, I really appreciate your sincerity... I am from São Paulo/Brasil, and you helped me a lot with Boss GT 10 and now with GTX-100. God bless you so much and "may the Rock be with you"
I'm only 7 minutes into the video and I've lost track of how many times I've said the words "Wow! That's cool!!!" I'll have to watch the rest after I get home tonight!!! Awesome video so far!!!
I've been through all these Boss GX 100 videos and this was the most helpful, I'm buying this unit for my tube rig, Two 5150 halfstacks. This video showed me the GX 100 can work for that.
Thanks so much for the in-depth video. I've been checking out videos on this unit all day, and yours is the first I've found that goes through the assigning of multiple blocks/parameters to one switch. That's a feature I absolutely need. Been using a POD Go for the last year or so, but while I like the size and layout, it's just too limited. Plus, BOSS stuff just feels better to me (used a GT-8 for about ten years). So I think I'll make the switch to the GX-100 when it hits the market. Thanks again.
Glenn says I was able to make all of my presets in about 30 minutes. Professor Glenn it's amazing! And thank you for helping us making easier go at getting our boards programmed well done sir
Exactly the video I was looking for. Great detail. I am trying to simplify my life a little, especially for fly-dates. I hoe this rig will help that goal a little. Thanks for the video!!!
Thanks Glenn, I'm trying to place my favorite effects together into the 1-1,1-2,1-3 etc spots, I think you hinted at how to do this under manual mode. Looking forward to the tone pack, you had some great distortions for the GT
Glenn you have been doing tutorials for years. Thanks for all the great advice. I love my POD Go but the dsp isn't enough. This has more, but I'm scared of the amp modeling. Anyways thanks for all the trouble shooting you do.
Great Demo Glenn,Bought Many of your patches for different processors over the years.All useable.You just sold me on this.And 4 of your patches too👍.Love Rush...1st time I saw them they opened for Kiss..1974..I'll be looking for more videos on this..Best Regards.
Excellent demo, very clear and easy to understand. I have one question for you. I'm considering buying the GX-100 but my problem is I feel I need support for setlists. It doesn't look like Boss natively supports them. Helix LT by comparison supports 8 setlists. A Boss customer support person just told me that GX-100 does, but they must be organized using Tone Studio on a computer. I understand that Tone Studio indeed supports setlists. But what's the benefit if the hardware doesn't let you select them? Does every patch in the setlist just get dumped in with all the existing ones randomly? I get that a customer could manually upload a long list of patches to memory before a gig. But they'd have to be loaded/dragged one by one and without any errors in the process, correct? Tone Studio seems to lack a button to automatically upload a setlist to the GX-100. Or am I missing something? And does the unit have a menu option to choose the setlist like Helix does? I realize your Rush setlist seems to use just one main patch with variations to cover all of Alex's sounds. So perhaps you're workflow isn't that big on setlists. For me I cover 50's to 90's rock with every style imaginable. I feel the need to upload a long, custom setlist for every occasion. Or perhaps I'm overthinking it. Anyway, since you use Helix, perhaps you can you could make a video comparing, say Helix LT with GX-100? Covering the practical aspects of managing patches in Windows, uploading setlists to the unit, sorting them, accessing them on stage, etc. So far nobody on UA-cam seems to cover that. Does the Boss method suffice or do you recommend Helix?
I would bet there is going to be a big, new & improved big brother to the GX-100. This is why I am waiting. I have not heard 100% positive feedback. This I think is typical, for a new "Ground Breaking" unit. I am hoping for a more efficent on screen display, with more fined tuned and better features?? Just a dream at this point.
Thank you for this vid Glen. I've used Helix in the past, test drove a HeadRush, and I'm currently using Kemper. With Kemper, I miss the near endless flexibility that comes with modelers. What can you say or what perspective can you recommend for a guy like me that needs to see the usual names like Marshall, Fender, Vox, Diezel, etc when they use a modeler? Asking this full well knowing that nothing I play thru will ever sound as good as you playing thru it!
Awesome video Glenn! In your opinion, how does this unit stack up in comparison to the pod go? The tuner appears to be superior on this unit and the two amp option is very cool too. Thanks for all your info. BTW, I love the pod go pack I purchased from you, awesome tones!
WooooW it’s really outstanding the Sound is very professional I think Jimi Hendrix would have liked this Guitar Multi effects if he was among us Thanks Boss & of course Thanks Mr Glenn for that Performance
I was getting ready to upgrade from the GT 100 to the GTK when this came out. Now, I am figuring if I wait a year, they will come out with a GX 1000...😮💨That unit is nice in both interaction and sound. Thanks Glenn that really showcased the possibilities of the machine.
Great content, thank you. I just got one, but im confused about the outputs. You mentioned using balanced cables to get rid of dibox, are the outputs balanced or not? Can i use the same method for live gigs?
Man I used to own the Bogner Alchemist head, ran it through a Marshall 4x12 and it sounded great. I know this Boss unit has to sound awesome though 2 40 watt Alchemist amps!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Interesting stuff Glenn, really good actually seeing your take on this box. The entire gapless preset switching idea really intrigues me. There has not really been to my knowledge a lot of emphasis on this and at this price point it is a very cool look at where boss is going with this. Any ideas on whether or not the editors externally can run over wireless ?
Probably the best demo I have seen so far on this unit. Love the PRS I have one core single cut 495 McCarty two se one is a hollow body and waiting on core custom 24 fire smokehouse. I’m ordering that board this week it makes so much sense. Do I use this going into my PRS HDX20 which goes into my Marshal 2x12? And if so how should I dial in the amp?? 6 O’clock or lower. That confuses me because I’ve never used a board like this. Only pedals . Thanks great demo again.
It’s the early morning hours of Feb. 16, 2024 as I view this review and leave my comment, Glenn. This definitely is an in-depth review. I’ve spent the last 3 or 4 months meditating on possibly purchasing the counterpart to this unit, the Boss GT-1000 Core. This review has definitely got me thinking again (and thankful I hadn’t already bought the Core). I appreciate how Core bolsters dual inputs and dual effects loops. I think I would prefer greater real-time control (that hopefully would not necessitate constantly using the software) over the additional ins and outs. It also need not be ultraportable. It would also be great to know that I wouldn’t need to get an additional expression pedal with the Line 6 XP-1 I already have, assuming that is compatible with something like the GX-100. Can you confirm that any expression pedal will do?
Fantastic review. I have more boss stomp pedals than I need but cant stop buying them. This GX 100 may now well be the anwers to this problem. 😂Keep on Rockin ❤
Hi Glen. Great video, as always. Thank you for your continuing service to the guitar community. Q: Can the wah pedal be activated by pushing the EXP pedal down and clicking it on, on any patch like the GT100 or do you have to turn it on with a button ?
Hello! I’m having one issue. I just got the GX-100 and so far the only issue I’m having is that I feel like there is a sound gate on that’s to sensitive? My sustain just cuts right off and I’m using two core PRS’s 594 and a custom 24-08 core. My Kirt Hammet Ltd 602 even cuts right off. So what setting needs to changed because I don’t see a sound gate in any of the presets. Hope it’s ok that I asked you. Playing through a PRS HDRX 20 into a 2x12 Marshall …Thanks James
Hello Glen! Always loved your channel and am hoping that you will have a Gt1000 patch pack that would midi switch the channels on my Marshall JVM 410 HJS in the 4 cable method along with the patches. Any midi switcher will switch the amp but the Gt1000 will not. Can you help?
Great video Glenn. Question about your external amp setup. Are you using the Boss amps (but not IR’s/speaker sim) when you use your Bogner amps? Then are you patching into your effects return on the Bogner?
Hi Glenn are you not using the Helix anymore? I’m on the waitlist in Australia for the Fractal FM9 but this new Boss unit seems very easy to edit and create presets and sounds pretty good and way cheaper than the FM9. Thanks for taking the time to create the video for us.
Has anyone tried to connect a Moog EP-3 external expression pedal. I have a preset where the built in expression pedal (EXP1) controls foot volume and wah. I am trying to connect an external expression pedal to control Pitch Bend or other effects.
Great job as always, I just got my GX100 and this video really shows what this unit is capable of. Could you possibly do Dumble patch set for the Gx100?
I'm hoping you can help me... I have recently gotten this unit used, but I fear it may be broken with a grounding issue. When I touch the knobs under the lcd screen, I can hear both scratching sounds if I rub (not turn) the knob top, it also very audibly grounds the unit similar to touching a metal part of my guitar. Is this normal? Does yours do this? I'm getting worried. I can also hear a constant noise, different than typical 60 cycle hum. It's not as apparent with clean patched, but with any amount of gain it becomes quite noticeable. Changing from my single coil neck pickup to my humbucking bridge does not reduce the noise, so thats why I don't think it's typical single coil hum, but something internal to the device. Any advice or insight would be appreciated.
It shouldn't be doing that. It could be a grounding issue with wherever you have the unit plugged into. I would try it in another part of your house just to make sure.
Glenn, Very good info! Are these tones right out of the box with no tweaking or did you set the unit up per your settings. I just bought this unit and I am having trouble with getting any good tones from it. Any suggestions on the setup?
Hi Kevin, no I edited them a little. I have some free presets you can find here. These will get you started. www.glenndelaune.com/boss-patches.htm#!/Boss-GX-100-Free-Starter-Pack/p/452881922/category=118138386
@@GlennDeLauneOfficial Hey Glen I appreciate it so much, I'm making some progress. I went direct to my FRFR speakers and it is a ton better on some patches. I just need to figure out how get it through my mixing board with same or better tone!
@@GlennDeLauneOfficial How can that be. I don't doubt you just want to know why you think that is ? With it being the same technology and the lower processing power. Hope it is so, because something about this makes me want to buy it, even though I have a GTK already.
Thank you. No they don't but I'm working on porting over all of my GT-1000 content to the GX unit. I'll have something to offer in just a couple weeks.
So helpful, thank you!!! Do you know if it’s possible to make the expression pedal control a parameter of an effect? More specifically I want to control the Vibe rate via the expression pedal but can’t seem to find the right settings… Also would like to be able to use Wah in the same chain 🤔
Yes this could be done. You'd lose the Volume control but could tie the U-Vibe rate to the pedal in the normal state and still have the Wah at the toe press. You would do all this from the assigns settings.
Out of curiosity, if you happen to have a GT-1000 ver.3 already, and you purchase this unit, is there any possibility of either downloading all of your existing patches from the GT 1000 into this unit? Also is there a way to sync them up?
For live use I use the L&R outputs to go the PA. We run a stereo PA. That's why I use the headphone out to go to my onstage amps. In the studio I use the L&R outs into my audio interface which is a Focusrite 4i4 3rd Gen.
@@GlennDeLauneOfficial I believe you were talking about use live. Do you use both the left and right outputs and headphones for live use or do you just use the headphone out for recording? Either way it sounds like you had special cables for each output. If you would, could you, please, let me know what you use for each of the types of outputs. Thanks.
I hate to bother you with this question, but i can't seem to find the answer anywhere. What cable do I need or do you recommend for connecting the GX 100 to my PC I can only find printer cables that look the same is it a special boss one ?
Hi, Glenn! First time commentator here. Do you have any informations if Boss has plans to release a rack version of this (or a similar) unit in the future to compete with the Helix and Axe FX? I'm not a big fan of "floor based" (?) equipment for non-live situations as it's just uncomfortable to use even when you sit down but the Axe FX is just too expensive in my opinion and the community seems rather toxic. I'm asking because I have a GT-10 and although I love its design, clean sounds and FX section I have always not been so happy with the high gain sounds.
Hey Glenn, I purchased a bundle from your site. The Boston patches were and worked well. However, when I added other patches, I had some serious issues with the sounds on them. I have reached out to BOSS/ROLAND with no help or support. They send me links to their knowledge center but this gets me nowhere.. Any ideas?
Hey Glenn, I'm a fan of your videos, I used a Boss GT-10 for a long time and I relied on your explanations to make it work in 4CM with my Marshall JCM 900, to enjoy the channels and the sound of my amp. I've just upgraded to the GX100, and I'm happy to see that you've also adopted the new version of Boss. However, I see that you do not use it in 4CM. Have you given up on the idea of working with your amp's preamp and channels? If so, how do you amplify the GX100? I'm very hesitant to work with the "AMP Simulator" and abandon the 4CM... Thank you!
Thank you Simon. You know that's a very good question. I have adopted the method of creating my own Cab Impulse Responses that can be loaded into the GX model. This could not be done with the older GT-10. What I do now is connect the outputs of this GX unit into the FX Return of my amps. Currently on smaller gigs I use a pair of Roland Blues Cube Artists Series 1x12's. For area shows I step up to a pair pf Bogner Alchemist with matching 2x12 cabs. All of my amps have FX loops so I just go into the FX Return of the amps and that basically makes a clean power source. Then with my presets coupled with my Custom Impulse Responses I am very very happy with the sound and have had more compliments on my tone in the last 3 months than I've ever had since I've been using this GX unit. I also had a JCM900 and ran the same way into the FX Return of the amp. That was with the GT-100 I believe. The reason I ditched 4CM is because I needed many different sounds for a gig. It was a learning experience for sure but like I say, so many compliments on my live tone now so it must be good if other people tell it's good.
@@GlennDeLauneOfficial Wow that's a nasty big change!!! By connecting the output of the GX1000 in the Effect Loop, I will have to "give up" my Marshall tone. That's a big decision, I've been using this setup for over 10 years! On the other hand, your explanations make me want to try, so I bought your Amp Simulation Pack, which I'm going to test directly in my effect loop! Thank you for responding quickly, and thank you for your contribution to the world of multi-effects!
Can you run this unit in 4 cable method , and simultaneously send a feed to the FOH?, with maybe an onboard amp or just your tube amps preamp with an IR
The only thing you could do while in 4CM is run the headphone out to the FOH. There may be a way you could manipulate the signal path to do that through
That was so freaking awesome. I have been using GNX4000 for years. And it’s outdated and malfunctioning. I have 3. So to upgrade I picked up the GX100. I not a techie. I know enough. Been playing with it. But your video really help me dive into this board. I love it. Thank you so much. Love Rush as well. Moving Pictures.
I got one of these I run it into the power amp in on my Katana and it sounds great , they say turn the cabinet models off going into an amp, but it sounds horrible when I do that like a broken fuzzy am radio

Now I like you easy to understand instructions. GX100 for dummies
Fantastic review. I have more boss stomp pedals than I need but cant stop buying them. This GX 100 may now well be the anwers to this problem. 😂Keep on Rockin ❤
Thank you
I was hoping you would be doing a demo for this. I pre-ordered mine from Sweetwater this morning. 😎🎸😎
Awesome
Hi Glen. Great video, as always. Thank you for your continuing service to the guitar community. Q: Can the wah pedal be activated by pushing the EXP pedal down and clicking it on, on any patch like the GT100 or do you have to turn it on with a button ?
Thank you. Yes it has a toe switch to activate it on.
Hello! I’m having one issue. I just got the GX-100 and so far the only issue I’m having is that I feel like there is a sound gate on that’s to sensitive? My sustain just cuts right off and I’m using two core PRS’s 594 and a custom 24-08 core. My Kirt Hammet Ltd 602 even cuts right off. So what setting needs to changed because I don’t see a sound gate in any of the presets. Hope it’s ok that I asked you. Playing through a PRS HDRX 20 into a 2x12 Marshall …Thanks James
Hello Glen! Always loved your channel and am hoping that you will have a Gt1000 patch pack that would midi switch the channels on my Marshall JVM 410 HJS in the 4 cable method along with the patches. Any midi switcher will switch the amp but the Gt1000 will not. Can you help?
Why are you going to the amp thru phones and not the outs? Just curious. Haven't seen anyone do that before.
Great video Glenn. Question about your external amp setup. Are you using the Boss amps (but not IR’s/speaker sim) when you use your Bogner amps? Then are you patching into your effects return on the Bogner?
Hi Gary, no I am using the IR's Speaker Sims and yes I go into the FX Return of the Bogners
Great player!
Hi Glenn are you not using the Helix anymore? I’m on the waitlist in Australia for the Fractal FM9 but this new Boss unit seems very easy to edit and create presets and sounds pretty good and way cheaper than the FM9. Thanks for taking the time to create the video for us.
Yes I am!
Has anyone tried to connect a Moog EP-3 external expression pedal. I have a preset where the built in expression pedal (EXP1) controls foot volume and wah. I am trying to connect an external expression pedal to control Pitch Bend or other effects.
Great job as always, I just got my GX100 and this video really shows what this unit is capable of. Could you possibly do Dumble patch set for the Gx100?
Yes I almost did one for this set but couldn't fit it in.
How were you able to set your tuner to engage with the exp pedal at 0?
Very cool video bro, can you make a video playing and showing all overdrives, delays and reverbs effects?
They were not supposed to hit the USA until April But Sweet water already has some I ordered mine today I get it on Tuesday
i love it.
I'm hoping you can help me... I have recently gotten this unit used, but I fear it may be broken with a grounding issue. When I touch the knobs under the lcd screen, I can hear both scratching sounds if I rub (not turn) the knob top, it also very audibly grounds the unit similar to touching a metal part of my guitar. Is this normal? Does yours do this? I'm getting worried. I can also hear a constant noise, different than typical 60 cycle hum. It's not as apparent with clean patched, but with any amount of gain it becomes quite noticeable. Changing from my single coil neck pickup to my humbucking bridge does not reduce the noise, so thats why I don't think it's typical single coil hum, but something internal to the device. Any advice or insight would be appreciated.
It shouldn't be doing that. It could be a grounding issue with wherever you have the unit plugged into. I would try it in another part of your house just to make sure.
Is there a lot of tone/feel loss of the amp(s) when running GX100 in 4cm?
Thanks for the demo👍
I'm sorry but I don't know. I haven't done 4CM with this unit yet.
Hello, What thumb picks do you use/ recommend?
Glenn which do you prefer having used the AX8 to GX100?
Excellent in depth review thanks Glenn ! But I thought you were playing the GT1000. Why not using the big brother ?
Thank you, just scaling down a bit. This does everything the GT can do actually except for a few minor things.
Glenn,
Very good info! Are these tones right out of the box with no tweaking or did you set the unit up per your settings. I just bought this unit and I am having trouble with getting any good tones from it. Any suggestions on the setup?
Hi Kevin, no I edited them a little. I have some free presets you can find here. These will get you started. www.glenndelaune.com/boss-patches.htm#!/Boss-GX-100-Free-Starter-Pack/p/452881922/category=118138386

Hey Glen I appreciate it so much, I'm making some progress. I went direct to my FRFR speakers and it is a ton better on some patches. I just need to figure out how get it through my mixing board with same or better tone!
for a just starting out, need some tutoring on what these effects all do and starting from scratch, and what does initialize do
As usual, outstanding demo Glenn! Would love to hear your opinions about the GX vs GTK.
Thank you very much. Well, what I think is that this unit sounds better.
@@GlennDeLauneOfficial How can that be. I don't doubt you just want to know why you think that is ? With it being the same technology and the lower processing power. Hope it is so, because something about this makes me want to buy it, even though I have a GTK already.
Glen shoemaker same this to me
I have the GT1000 but I’m not sure if the GX 100 is better or not
Hi Glenn. Great video. I've got a question, do Boss GT 1000/Core patches work on the GX100?
Thank you. No they don't but I'm working on porting over all of my GT-1000 content to the GX unit. I'll have something to offer in just a couple weeks.
Could I do away with my DigiTech Drop pedal with this. Will it Detune and track as well?
So helpful, thank you!!! Do you know if it’s possible to make the expression pedal control a parameter of an effect? More specifically I want to control the Vibe rate via the expression pedal but can’t seem to find the right settings… Also would like to be able to use Wah in the same chain 🤔
Yes this could be done. You'd lose the Volume control but could tie the U-Vibe rate to the pedal in the normal state and still have the Wah at the toe press. You would do all this from the assigns settings.
Out of curiosity, if you happen to have a GT-1000 ver.3 already, and you purchase this unit, is there any possibility of either downloading all of your existing patches from the GT 1000 into this unit? Also is there a way to sync them up?
I'm working on porting over all of my GT-1000 presets over to this unit. Give me a few weeks.
@@GlennDeLauneOfficial Thanks Glenn, really appreciate it and looking forward to it.
I’m curious (and new at this). Why wouldn’t you use the “Output” (mono or stereo) to go the amp. And which one do you use to go to an audio interface.
For live use I use the L&R outputs to go the PA. We run a stereo PA. That's why I use the headphone out to go to my onstage amps. In the studio I use the L&R outs into my audio interface which is a Focusrite 4i4 3rd Gen.
@@GlennDeLauneOfficial Got it, thanks for the reply.
Hope you can show a demo if that effect processor can do synth sounds
can you please enable CC/subtitle on this video? Thanks
Glenn. Would you mind sharing what cables you use for the outputs or are these ones you made yourself? Thanks
Hi there, you mean for live use? or for recording?
@@GlennDeLauneOfficial I believe you were talking about use live. Do you use both the left and right outputs and headphones for live use or do you just use the headphone out for recording? Either way it sounds like you had special cables for each output. If you would, could you, please, let me know what you use for each of the types of outputs. Thanks.
Top , my friends
I hate to bother you with this question, but i can't seem to find the answer anywhere.
What cable do I need or do you recommend for connecting the GX 100 to my PC I can only find printer cables that look the same is it a special boss one ?
Yes that's the right cable. A printer cable will work fine.
@@GlennDeLauneOfficial Thank you, I appreciate your playing very much
Hi, Glenn! First time commentator here. Do you have any informations if Boss has plans to release a rack version of this (or a similar) unit in the future to compete with the Helix and Axe FX? I'm not a big fan of "floor based" (?) equipment for non-live situations as it's just uncomfortable to use even when you sit down but the Axe FX is just too expensive in my opinion and the community seems rather toxic. I'm asking because I have a GT-10 and although I love its design, clean sounds and FX section I have always not been so happy with the high gain sounds.
Hey Glenn, I purchased a bundle from your site. The Boston patches were and worked well. However, when I added other patches, I had some serious issues with the sounds on them. I have reached out to BOSS/ROLAND with no help or support. They send me links to their knowledge center but this gets me nowhere.. Any ideas?
Hi Kevin I'm sure I can help. Please contact me through Facebook and I'll help you figure out what's going on.
@@GlennDeLauneOfficial
Thanks Glenn. I do not have a Facebook. I will try to respond through my wife’s or sons.
I have the external 2 button switch FS7. I use it for my bank up/down.
Hey Glenn, I'm a fan of your videos, I used a Boss GT-10 for a long time and I relied on your explanations to make it work in 4CM with my Marshall JCM 900, to enjoy the channels and the sound of my amp. I've just upgraded to the GX100, and I'm happy to see that you've also adopted the new version of Boss. However, I see that you do not use it in 4CM. Have you given up on the idea of working with your amp's preamp and channels? If so, how do you amplify the GX100? I'm very hesitant to work with the "AMP Simulator" and abandon the 4CM... Thank you!
Thank you Simon. You know that's a very good question. I have adopted the method of creating my own Cab Impulse Responses that can be loaded into the GX model. This could not be done with the older GT-10. What I do now is connect the outputs of this GX unit into the FX Return of my amps. Currently on smaller gigs I use a pair of Roland Blues Cube Artists Series 1x12's. For area shows I step up to a pair pf Bogner Alchemist with matching 2x12 cabs. All of my amps have FX loops so I just go into the FX Return of the amps and that basically makes a clean power source. Then with my presets coupled with my Custom Impulse Responses I am very very happy with the sound and have had more compliments on my tone in the last 3 months than I've ever had since I've been using this GX unit. I also had a JCM900 and ran the same way into the FX Return of the amp. That was with the GT-100 I believe. The reason I ditched 4CM is because I needed many different sounds for a gig. It was a learning experience for sure but like I say, so many compliments on my live tone now so it must be good if other people tell it's good.
@@GlennDeLauneOfficial Wow that's a nasty big change!!! By connecting the output of the GX1000 in the Effect Loop, I will have to "give up" my Marshall tone. That's a big decision, I've been using this setup for over 10 years! On the other hand, your explanations make me want to try, so I bought your Amp Simulation Pack, which I'm going to test directly in my effect loop! Thank you for responding quickly, and thank you for your contribution to the world of multi-effects!
Thank you Simon. You can adjust the Hi & Lo cuts in the Global outputs of the GX to shape the sound.
Can you run this unit in 4 cable method , and simultaneously send a feed to the FOH?, with maybe an onboard amp or just your tube amps preamp with an IR
The only thing you could do while in 4CM is run the headphone out to the FOH. There may be a way you could manipulate the signal path to do that through
That was so freaking awesome. I have been using GNX4000 for years. And it’s outdated and malfunctioning. I have 3. So to upgrade I picked up the GX100. I not a techie. I know enough. Been playing with it. But your video really help me dive into this board. I love it. Thank you so much. Love Rush as well. Moving Pictures.
Thanks for sharing!
Allways a good job from you Glenn, tks a lot, do GX 100 can replace GT 1000 ???
Absolutely. I don't Boss even realized how much power they were releasing.
I got one of these I run it into the power amp in on my Katana and it sounds great , they say turn the cabinet models off going into an amp, but it sounds horrible when I do that like a broken fuzzy am radio
No, I would not turn the cab off. You're doing the right thing.
how to change the color of the indicator?
