BOSS GT-001 Guitar Effects Processor - Flagship GT Power On Your DeskTop

Product Information

Yes, that’s a shame, but the GT-001 does allow you to dial in the BPM to match your synth, sequencer, or in my case the Boss RC-202. The GT-001 obviously doesn't have footswitching capability, but you can add an expression pedal or up to two footswitches for real-time effects control and patch changes. Edit; Realized I wasn't clear enough; is the Boss a good enough interface to replace the UR22 is what I'm mainly wanting to know.

It performs a single function very well, and that is to take one input, and one input alone, process it in any way you can imagine, in real time, and output it again. While the effects are excellent in the Boss RC-202, I enjoy creating specific synth patches on the Boss GT-001 that might consist of several effects at once.

Simply connect the unit via USB to your computer and you'll be able to record yourself into your favourite DAW. Just pick one of the three options and, as long as you picked one of the two it had in mind, you’re good. In other words, you can shape the overall contour of the output signal to suit a guitar amp, PA, recording device, etc. I had a POD, POD2, POD XT and most recently I had a POD HD500x which cost twice as much and was kind of OK, but all the tones had this horrible digital fizz as the note decays which started to really annoy me.

For guitars with standard tremolos, we can set it to float and be used both up or down like a true tremolo or we can lock the trem block back so the tremolo will only go downwards. Specially designed patches for vocals and acoustic guitars are included, providing great sound for monitoring and tracking. The design of the unit itself does not lend itself well to unit-based controls: it’s supposed to be lightweight, and compact. while others help us to improve your experience by providing insights into how the site is being used. That's not a quick tweak, but a full multi-point setup by an experienced guitar technician who will check and adjust every single thing on your guitar, bass, ukulele or banjo to ensure it is performing at its absolute best.

For others, especially those not using a computer (although I’m not sure if it even affects the analogue outputs), this could be a serious issue. It is monophonic (one note at a time), and it is quite slow : there is a notable delay between the time you hit the string and the emission of the midi note. Everyone’s brain works differently, and most humans can’t “see” individual frames in a TV signal at 24 frames per second.

We advise you to update to a currently supported browser (such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) to improve your security, speed, and overall experience. Powered by newly developed BOSS technology, this cool and convenient function is great fun when working with Roland’s free Guitar Friend Jam software, and also lets you experiment with using your guitar to create MIDI sequences in music production software. The XLR mic input is equipped with phantom power, allowing you to use a condenser mic for top recording quality. BOSS tone central is a library service offering additional contents for many BOSS products, download the BOSS tone studio application for powerful editing software and connect to the internet to download any of the free contents from the ever growing collection.The preset patches are awful for the Nord Lead which is why I spent and hour or so tweaking all of the 200 patches in the Tone Studio Software on the Mac to my liking. Show me common problem-solving techniques, like, “oh, I see your output level is clipping, would you like me to insert a limiter into the chain for you, or perhaps you want to turn down that super-death-metal overdrive setting you added earlier? On top of that, a newly developed guitar-to-MIDI function lets you have fun with Guitar Friend Jam and other computer programs from a normal guitar input—no special pickup required!

Specially designed for the home and studio guitarist it contains the guitar amps and effects of the GT-100 Version 2. I think it’s fair to say that if you’re willing to sit and read the extremely long manual, or you have a background in audio devices like this, you are probably not going to face any issues here. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. The delay remained until I detached and reconnected the USB cable, at which point it was back to normal again. Connected to a computer, recording is easy and the MIDI guitar facility works really well, with accurate tracking - very useful for adding other instruments to your recordings.If you play a beautiful chord on your beautiful, beautiful guitar, and you hear it even 1/20 (50 ms) of a second later, you will notice that. If you just want access to the GT's modelled sounds without having a large floorpedal, Boss has introduced the GT-001, which takes all of the amps and effects found in the flagship GT-100 Version 2. The GT-001 is a convenient wedge-shaped unit that will sit next to your computer with its connections neatly arranged on its end, inputs to the right and outputs to the left.
