This pedal is very sophisticated, the A.I.R.D technology is very natural feeling and of course, it wouldn’t be a BOSS product without being 100% customisable!

Peace & Love
I've got one of those ME 50s and even that old box is full of wonderful tones, became a boss fan in weeks!
Love the video Rabea. There are a bunch of videos out now for the GT1000 but it's terrific that you chose to spotlight the flexibility aspect primarily since the other guys only touch on that briefly. Good one mate!
Absolutely the best review and walkthrough of the Boss GT-1000 on UA-cam - thanks!
8:18 I didn't notice the background music until this point. I love that jam so much, I always come back to it when I want my jaw to drop. Great demo!
Good timing, lunch break and Rabea. I'm a simple man. And I like this.
Awesome video Rabea! Thanks for putting together a well thought out explanation and walk-through mate!
thank you for not relying on theatrics or funny voices for views! Your videos are always so relaxing to watch! ... as well as informative of course
Hi Rabea, thanks for being the only reviewer if this pedal who has been able to explain how to seperate different sims to different sides. Its simple once you know... I knew it had to be easy. Should have tried that myself 😆 tried everything else!! I regard you as the go to guy for gear reviews and info. thanks again
I have serious nostalgia for the Boss ME50
the ME-50? you young whipper snapper. I remember when the ME-5 was out around the same time as the RP-1. omg, I'm old.
I had an ME-5 when it was in the music shops I think it listed for 600 bucks or something. I wish I had never gotten rid of it. Analog distortion digital effects., not sure why they don't do that anymore.
@@FunknGrvn me too...I think it was $700 when my dad bought it for me
still my fav after 20 years.
Great video! Boss makes the best pedals and the tones you can create with it and the Boss eBand JS-10, this GT-1000 looks impressive! Thanks for sharing with us.
I had the GT-3 back in the day. Built like a tank.
Wonderful demo dude! I have watched all the BOSS content and your vid is top notch.
For anyone who is interested, I have just started using my GT1000 thru two BOSS Nextone stage amps using 7 cable method and the pedal is finally sounding like it should. The latest update adds the nextone stage as an AIRD output option and it sounds incredible and feels just as good. Tons of grunt, I can't wait to get them cranked on stage, it's a pretty killer rig now. Not ultra cheap but for a pro player it's well worth it IMO. Also the nextone is a pretty decent amp on its own and can be tweaked and customized to sound and feel real good. Highly recommend giving this setup a go if you are a tone hound, it just works.
Hey Rabea, thanks for making this! This has been the most helpful video I’ve seen, gives me hope that I will be able to figure out some stereo stuff using a 7 cable method!!! Cheers!
Seeing that 5150 and 5150 II still in your arsenal brings a smile to my face. It gets a lot of hate, but one of the best high gain amps of all time.
Very informative and straightforward. Thank you Rabea!
Awesome video as per usual! Do you think you'll be making a video at some point going into detail about your recording studio, equipment and how you record songs etc? Loving the content!
Rabea.... great video and playing as usual. Love BOSS gear. My Katana 2×12's rock and definitely looking into this.
Just to say,of all the guitars that you have this one suits you the best ! (Sounds incredible!)
So Rabea, I just wanted to say thank you, well to you Dave (my new bass hero lol), and all of Dorje. Thank you for the inspiration you guys have given me lately. I needed something from somewhere else. Would die to jam with someday to Bea...just sayin' lmao. Y'all are so killer.
I got a gt1000 and it's fantastic.
Out of all the floor modelling units I like the original line six helix then it’s the headrush they’re my favourites
I think this is the best demo of the GT-1000 so far and Rabea makes it also sound great... should I buy perhaps... thank you Rabea - would you be gigging with it yourself? Of course to my mortal soul and abilities I think this would suffice.
Thank you! You're a great teacher!
Excellent video, this is the first one that I've seen that showed how to maneuver the model without a long speech and that the speaker blocks can be moved closer to the amp blocks which for many would not be obvious. When I first got my GT-1000 I had already been using a Helix where these blocks are close by. I have two major gripes about the GT-1000 user interface.
1) When in memory mode one can see the patch numbers but not the names, so you are flying blind. The Helix or Headrush provide both.
2) One can't get rid of the blocks that are not used, like that long chain of delay blocks. I guess the reason is to preallocate DSP resources. There are better ways to accomplish this without screen clutter. The Helix and Headrush do a better job at that.
I ditched the Headrush and kept the Helix. Now I've got the GT-1000 and expect to keep that and the Helix. The compressors on the GT-1000 don't thump and pop at high compression ratios and gain, which is a very good thing and the competition could learn about.
Not sure I'm ready to jump back into multi FX but you describe it well and exciting!
I like this unit Grab & Go easy for my gigs👍
You made it sound great!
I am not crazy about the amp models, but the fx are amazing. I purchased this rather than a Boss ES-8 switcher and a few Boss 500 series pedals.
Hey Rabea, big fan! Quick question. I've been trying to find some information regarding effect spill over between patch changing. In your time with the unit, did you come to discover this as a function?
I never thought I would say this, but....that Boss multi sounds pretty good.
AIRD > COSM and it isn't even close.
UPDATE 03/28/2023: revisiting this vid as I'm considering a floor unit and.........I think this unit sounds better than all of the competition. Yes, all of it.
The semi-rigid effects structure is a little annoying.....but I think I can work with it.
@@pontiacpower421 shit i.... Shit out, no matter what gear u have, if ur shit ur shit no matter how expensive gear, not even a valve amp will save u
I bought the GT CORE😊
Im so stoked
First tone. Straight in.
Credit card exploded, again. 🤘🏻😂
I remember the boss GT5 my first guitar fx unit
Ben Tyreman i had one too....great souvenir...
I love my GT-1000 :). It is great on it's own, though I mainly use it for effects along with my Waza amp.
Hey Rebea... one of my measures for a good video is the amount of anger I have for when one of those advertisers interrupts the flow of what I was watching. And I have to say... after this video, I’m seriously considering an anger management class! Well done lol.
Bloody Hell, Rabea. The blue lights and room treatment make your place look like a strip club! Get a couple of Hughes & Kettners in there and you're sorted.
JDODify well with all the sexy stuff in that room who wouldnt think its a strip club
Yoshi does it have to be?
Hughes & Heffners
😁😁😁
😂😂😂😂
Hi rabea , thanks for the video demo , would love to see how your signature model sounds with some of the hi gain patches , and your dropped tuning .
That axe is awesome \m/
Haha I bought the ME-50 in the early 2000s and still use it! Can't get rid of the damned thing because it just does everything well as a parallel effects unit. I don't use the distortions anymore but the Tone Mod section is key to getting a close match to your amp's tone so that the effects are pretty transparent when I put the pedal down. Actually I lied, I do use the distortions when I run it straight into the input of my practice amp for on-the-go demonstrations and those are still very useful, since they basically built all of the Boss distortions and then some into that distortion section. It's still a great floorboard!
Nice sound boss GT - 1000
Over the decades I have never plugged into any Boss effect that did not impress me. I am still a live amp guy and I choose gear to run with an amp rig, but a lot of the new recording emulation and IR stuff is definitely sounding great.
Thank you
Hey Rabea! what do you use to listen to the audio when demoing things like this? do you just monitor with desk monitors? Thanks in advance!
Speaking of the N4, I think Nuno still use his N4 with BOSS GT-8. My friend were at Extreme concert in Bangkok this Wednesday, and he took a picture of it.
I guess it's more about the habit more than the sound quality though....
I like this.
When will they put a HDMI output on these for a touch screen or just a bigger display. That would be sweet!
AncientAlien815 Well you CAN plug it in to your computer... 🤷🏻♂️
These new floor effects from Boss, Headrush and Helix sound fantastic but the price tags are well out of range , i can always dream of having one , nice video Rabea !!!!!!!!!
There is a baby gt1000. The core i think.
@@markclarke6428 Boss GT-1000 Core, 40% cheaper I think
Rabea - How do I route this using two amps that each have their own effects loops and channel switching? Also, Drive effects I would use after the output in the rear I’m assuming? Not concerned with the amps or drives in the unit.
Just wanna say good game for Brazil the other day Bea. Who would have thought you'd be a great guitarist AND play left-back for Brazil?
Thanks for the review! Could you tell me what kind of subwoofer you have, the white one?
Hey Rabea. Great demo.
I grabbed the GT and paired it with my Katana Artist. Great rig. However, I'd like to see an additional drive block and reverb block added. Are you aware of any updates that wilm add these?
Thanks Rabea great review I use the GT100 just for the effects through the Laney ironheart would love to her what written patches sound like
A great clean tone a very high kinda Djent tone a great metal tone and lead tone oh I must say this review is better than the Andertons cheers !!!!!!!😎😙
I hope boss will add a profiling features on their next GT for amps and guitars like the mooer and improve screen layouts
Great Video!!!
Rabea, are you still using the GT1000? Are you using it live? Would you be able to do an update video on how you're using it now? 🤙🏾
he probably only seen it once (when he recorded this video) lol
The main thing here is that the presets actually sound great. The Helix has absurdly bad presets and takes ages to learn how to get the right sound from it. I was a big fan of the boss MS3 when I used it for gigging. Boss has super good effects and drives.
I run Helix pre-amp models through a Fryette Power Station into a Marshall 2536A cab. Can you take the cab sims and power stage off of the presets?
Yes you can
Thanks man
Muito bom
What's the whammy effect like? Does it tune down or up without artefacts and good tracking?
So what made you choose the helix over this for the frog leap tor? From what I have heard this can emulate individual string tunings similar to a variax right?
Sounds great, but Boss seriously need to up their UI-game. Showing all possible slots of the chain and scrolling through single line parameter pages is just awefull. They obviously have great engineers, they need to hire some interface designers ffs. The mobile app looks awefull too. They only got it right with the TONE STUDIO software.
Same with Kemper. Kemper has the best tone but worst interface from 1980. I think that Kemper and Boss need to hire better UI engineers to create a better color screen and user experience.
This is probably my biggest hangup on purchasing. I debate if its just worth waiting for them to release a new multi effects board with better UI but that could be many more years for all i know.
Agreed. I want this thing for the sound and processing power but every time I look at how bad the UI is and how much of a pain it is to do literally anything, I think about the easy-peasy ME-80 (which I already own) and consider buying a Helix LT, which is intuitive as heck.
My one issue with the helix is the processing power. It doesn't work at 97khz. And if they wanted to in the future, I imagine they'd have to release new hardware to handle it, and it would probably be like $2000. Meanwhile Boss already has the processing power and they could potentially release a major update that fixes all of the UI issues. More processing power = more headroom for updates with higher quality modeling over the next decade.
Great video.
Hey bea! Great demo as always :) since you‘re using the helix in your band with Leo and now got your hands on the GT-1000: whats your favorite product? The helix lt is a bit cheaper than the GT-1000 - do you think its worth the money? (Even though this vid is sponsored by Boss, just want to hear your personal preference)
Keep it up :)
Great vid, so clear. How did you assign control 1 to flip from one side to the other, that is get the signal chain on the top to flip down to the bottom signal chain? Thanks!
I still have a Boss ME 50 and was using it for stereo, although I realised it was not doing great things to my tone in the end.
Nice informations! Could you tell us whether the whammy 0-8 octave is digital or analog?
Wow! BOSS have been doing some serious homework. This thing sounds fantastic.
I might have to go ty one out sometime 👍
Rabea--Thanks! Is sound quality better or same as DD-500, RV-500, and MD-500? Are all of the presets in these units represented in the GT1000, or a subset only? Since cost is similar, do the separate units have any advantage over the GT1000?
This is exactly everything in those units, plus all the extra stuff like ODs and IRs. People bitch about the price, but when you consider the above it makes sense
Great stuff as always....i too have the gt-1000 but if i can give a request......im considering getting the victory v4 kraken and as you have both the gt-1000 and the v4 kraken is it possible for you to do a video on how to incorporate the v4 kraken into the gt-1000 with frfr or the Seymour powerstage?...would be much appreciated 👌...keep up the fantastic work.
A-mazing! Rabea can you run Beatbuddy alongside this pedal?
I know I can set this up to run some effects in front of my amp and some in my camp's effects loop. In another patch, can I bypass my preamp and run the Boss's amp models? I love my amp tone but a single setup with the option of my tube amp head or models would be the best of both worlds.
wow thanks
Can I chain multiple enities of the same effect modeled differently within the chain(like put 2 or 3 choruses in the chain)? I'm used to chaining stompboxes, not that familiar with the multieffects
processors.
Hey there,
Just a couple of comparison questions between the GT100 AND GT1000.
First, on the 100, the Sub Control/Out allow you to add a Switch such as the Boss FS-5....or 6.....can't remember the number, just the FS part.
This allows to to add 2 more Control Switches/Footswitch's to the GT100 making it possible to set 1 Switch, let's say, a Tap Tempo and the 2nd for a Tuner.
That way you don't have to hold down 2 Switches at a time to access the Tuner.
Are you able to add the FS-6 Switch to the GT1000 to give you even extra On/Off or Tempo and Tuner access?
If you can add this Switch, it DEFINITELY frees up what's on the 1000, giving you 2 more access areas.
2nd question: The GT100 also gives you the ability to press 2 Controls Simultaneously, allowing to to view the unit, making it look EXACTLY as a Floorboard would look.
It lays out your Effects with the corresponding Control Switches underneath, allowing you to view it as if you had a Complete, 100lb, Multi Thousand Dollars of Pedals at your feet.
Does the GT1000 allow you to change what's shown on the Screen?
Basically, giving the opportunity to actually SEE your Effects as if they are the actual Pedals.
I'm ready to snag one of these as of like, as soon as my local BIG BOX STORE opens up Monday morning.
I'm tired of lugging around my 2 Ton Pedalboard and 1 Ton Amp, along with the MULTIPLE Axes!!!
I'm ready to snag my GT of choice and my Guitar, hop on a Jet back home to Memphis, TN to jam with some old friends!!!
Thank you for your time, information and for making your Videos!!
They're a TREMENDOUS job!!
im on the fence about upgrading my gt100 to either the gt1k or the helix LT, this helps make a decision. thanks bea!
Hi. Can i connect the GT-1000 to an amp and into the PA at the same time?
Top 😎
Can you demonstrate the 4 cable method on this unit, I’m still struggling with my tone plugged into the front of my Marshall 2525c thanks
Hi! Where is the blend knop to blend the guitar effects with the bass ,for the low end please. I really love the guitar effects with bass on it
Bro pl show how to do left right perameter of both outputs because ur patch of stereo when u played both channel on it was not sounding accual stereo only deley was sounding Lto R ...thanks for sharing .
Have you put your own presets up on boss tone central or can we download them from your website? I'd love to get those!
just like mixing a song you gotta work with it, a few db cut boosts and q, this unit will do well in the studio, live you got no say over the venue or engineer, trick is get a pa speaker jbl maybe and tweak against a live drummer, then feed out from the stage, all good
which one would you prefer the helix or the boss ... Ampsoundwise?
Rabea I always respect your honest opinions in your videos. In the other videos I have seen on the GT1000, including yours, the tones sound pretty darn good. I am at the point of comparing the AXE, Helix, and now GT1000 for purchase. How do you like the tones from clean to high gain and all the mods and delays?
Jack Price just don't get a helix. They sound awful and grainy. Boss if you want boss exclusive algorithms like a fantastic chorus and rotary. Or axe if you want a great interface
Felix, thanks for the input. Since you mentioned it, that was the impression I have been getting on the Helix tones. Definitely the AXE UI is amazing. Lets face it, if you are a performing musician, the primary reason for getting a multi-effects board is the ability to tweek all of your tones and signal chain on your computer. You don't want to be messing with menus during performance. Boss in that sense needs to work on the UI. But I am still really liking the tones. :-)
Yeah you cannot go wrong with boss when it comes to reliability and tones. There's a reason pros have been using them for years.
Hi Rabea,
I did not find any video on fractal ax8, neither in your channel nor in andertons music. I wonder if it has to do with sponsorship. If possible here is a request from me on ax8 and how it compares with multiprocessor like boss gt1000 or may be line6 hilux
Rabea, I have rented the GT1000 twice and each time I haven't found the amp models flexible enough to cover a wide range of music. All the digital multieffects seem to be focused on high gain where lots of mistakes can be covered up . There is no attempt to cover low to medium jangle and crunch sounds convincingly . And even with Heavy OD, the sound is always harsh. I have used tons of eq cuttoffs which never rid the sound of the annoying fizz. Also, boss hasnt provided an output selection for FRFR powered and running through headrush monitors is as bad as Helix, Headrush and to a lesser extent AX8. Is there any real convincing Digital multi effects out there or coming up?
What the Helix is that??
Can I connect an electric violin to GT-1000 and then connect the GT-1000 to the guitar amplifier or does it damage the GT-1000?
Cam you use the guitar drive effects , and use like bass preamp/ effects with to not loose the low end please?
I had the Boss gt100 and it was probably the the easiest to operate, and I’ve owned several other floor units, now I haven’t actually tried the new boss Katana stuff or this unit, but my main gripe about the gt100 was it sounded kinda sterile as compared to the Hd500, so I did end up selling it and buying a Hd500x but I have simply grown tired of the way the editing works, I’m the kinda guy who likes to do all the editing on the unit itself,
I think I’d really like to try this unit, seems kinda pricey for a couple hundred more I can get the Ax8 used so idk 😐
Hello! I want to ask 2 things about GT-1000.
First, Im rarely using the bluetooth function, but yesterday when i was practising and I wanted to use metronome, i was trying to control the metronome via bluetooth and i coulnt see any choice that you could control it, even turn it on or off. Im the only one that cant use the metronome via bluetooth or its not an option at GT-1000?
Second, Its really weird for me that i cant store 2 patches with different output select. For most of my patches i use the "Recording" OUTPUT, however I really love the cleans of the JC-120 with the output of JC-120 return (its a lot different than when i have the output on "recording") , but seems that i cant store it, as when i change the outpout , it goes for all the patches.. Is it strange that such expensive unit doesnt have this function or I am doing something wrong?
Are your trem springs muted on the N4? I thought I could hear them ringing early in the video that I've not noticed before. I might also be full of shit though.
Can you demo the stompboxmode Rabea !! I’ve tweeked every thing I need in the first 5 patches !! Not even updated cos I don’t wanna lose what I have 🙏🏻 Thanks 🎶
Im happy to stick with my Gt100 ^_^ (+ my Zoom G9 in dual multiFX rig)
I dont see such huges improvements on that one
The Gt100 has two big screens which make it so cool to use without hooking up on a PC
Of course the ToneStudio editor is a really top notch piece of software
The design of the Gt100 is more part of the Boss signature than this new one (more on the Helix side)
@@johang.5776 Simply because you dont know how to tweak your signal chain o_O (as most of folks out there)
You just rely on a single piece of gear N your R expecting that it will deliver by itself a killa tone straight out of the box ...it's just impossible m@n even with the most expensive units because it is digital simulations...
That's why professionals use the expression 'coz it is a succession of gears which will create one by one your personal tone ...the Gt100 is no exception !! (as other pieces of equipment)
If you R aiming for the sound of a particular real amp ...just buy the real amp ^^ (N break up the bank)
If you want a "palette/range" of mythic guitar amp/pedals/cabs/N such which sounds really close to the originals in a easy to carry or small format (N ways more cheaper) just get a cool multiFX unit +++ It is so simple +++
Does it have the HM-2?
From what I hear, it sounds approx. 500x better than the Line6 Helix. UI surely is better on the Helix.
Christoph K. Agreed. Helix sounds awful. These actually sound like legit fx and not artificial like line 6 garbage. Wish the interface was better. But then again, how often am I looking at the interface when playing a gig.
Can you reverse the loop on the GT 1000 during playback?
Amazing ! Would you please, try the GT-100 ?
This unit sounds really great but it's seems not that intuitive to dial in :/, not as an helix or an headrush (which i must admit as less possibilities). Great playing as always Rabea ! :D
I don't know if it sounded in the room like it does through UA-cam, but this sounds surprisingly good. I'm kinda shocked because I didnt expect that good of sound quality.
Hmmmm
