GT-1 Guitar Multi-effects Pedal Review

Amazing for the price

Got the floor model to try out. Most presets are overly processed. But with some tweaking I was able to obtain so many great amp models. For the price I am more than satisfied. I wanted a small, compact , lightweight unit to play with headphones. The massive arena sounds I am getting are beyond fun. So, I also ordered a Roland Go mixer ProX. Connected my iPhone drum machine app… read more and recorded many riffs ….posted results on a few guitar forums. Everyone posts….my gosh, what stack are you using? Love the Boss exclusive Power Driver amp model. Throw in a little Tara Delay, light chorus and we are in DefLeppard Hyseria land! Don't wast your time with batteries, last me about an hour. Tried numerous chargers..all buzzed, ordered the Boss one…dead silent. Many YouTube videos if you are struggling with the useless manual. For the price, how on earth can you beat it. People get frustrated because they try using modelers thru amps. You really have to go direct to the house PA or headphones to get the direct sound. I got a Mackie headphone amp. Can hook up 4 headphones to it for friends to listen to you. Great little product.

Best small pedal on the market

I originally had purchased the Boss GT-100 pedal and loved their set up of saving patches, being able to use the ASSIGNS to add tones to the presets and just create clean, a first drive and a second overdrive lead tone in one patch. Alter the Reverb or Amp Sims. It didn't matter, it did it all. So when I started looking for something small just to carry around, I found the GT-1… read more had all the same tonal options in a small portable pedal. It has the same sound engine as the GT-100 so I could create the same presets I had in my bigger board. After buying the Boss BCB 90X Pedalboard/Case and installing the GT-1 with my Boss FS-7 footswitch, I added a Boss RC-5 Loop Station and I realized this was going to be my main board. This pedal does it all!

Best guitar effects processor I've ever used

I was shocked when I plugged this GT 1 in and started playing. I stopped using all my amp plugins in the studio and only use the GT 1 on the recording I can adjust the GT 1 to get the sound I want and I put in down in the studio just like having a wall of any kind of amp I can think of, I'm blowing away. I've been playing professionally for over 50 years and this unit does what… read more I need. I've owned the Boss GT 8, GT 10, GT 100 and for, my experience, this unit The GT 1 blows them all away

Love this little pedal

Small, light and powerful. I have a Katana mk2 100 as well. I love how you can use Boss Tone Studio and drag and drop to them and boom whatever sound you want, you got in seconds. The presets alone on this thing are sweet though. I can't wait to get its Bass brother to match it.

Awesomeness in a small package

A great little multiple effects unit very versatile once you get used to navigating around it and using it. Plus being able to run on four double A batteries and it having a small footprint a win win for me !
