## Description

From the manufacturer

Review: great quality & value for money - Only had it a couple of days & highly impressed with it so far, usual high quality BOSS build, with a metal top and solid plastic base, simple to edit ( thank goodness as I'm absolutely terrible at tech stuff) & comes with a well printed & easy to follow user manual. Seller I bought from (West End Music - Ipswich) supplied a free BOSS PSU but it also comes with a set of AA batteries, so can be powered up immediately from them if you do not have a PSU. Simple to use tuner using the footswitch lights so can be easily seen & tuned on-stage. Many immediately useable patches built in (unlike many units which seem to have loads of patches there just to show off the extremes of the unit rather than supplying real world useable patches). Using it through combo amp, direct to mixer/PC & headphones the sound quality is excellent, clear & no hum/buss from unit. As I said only had it a couple of days but it's looking like a great unit at a very reasonable price. Looks like I can sell most of my other foot & rack units as this covers (with as good or better sound quality) most of them in one compact unit. Highly recommended.
Review: Boss GT1 brings an old guitar and vintage amplifier into the 21st century. - The GT1 is a mega value piece of kit which can transform the sound of an old guitar and amplifier into the 21st century. Make sure that your windows10 is up to date otherwise the Boss Tone Studio software will not detect the GT1, if you use this application. Prior to the windows update the GT1 was not detected by the Tone Studio software. There was a Roland GT1 windows update which rectified the problem. The GT! is an AWESOME piece of kit and MEGA value for money. Purchase a straight amplifier (new or old) with no bells and whistles and add the GT1 between your guitar and the amplifier . The effects are out of this world. Everything is in one package, even a guitar tuner so you do not have to purchase individual pedal boxes. The only thing that I did not like was the size of the expression pedal, its ok but if you have big feet then this may be a problem. You can purchase a full size EV-5 expression pedal and plug it into the back of the GT1 to rectify this or you may have to adapt your foot to the small pedal on the GT1. The unit is built to a very high standard with quality switches and controls on a metal deck with a plastic back. The unit uses 4 x aa batteries or a boss power adapter. Highly recommended for either the amateur or even pro guitar player.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Budget price for premium sound.
*by M***L on 21 November 2019*

Bought this primarily to add a bit of controllable reverb, delay, compression and EQ to my acoustic guitar. I also bought a cheap 2 button toggle pedal to allow me to have 2 CTL switches and a tap tempo on the delay. Out the box it sounded a bit harsh on my trace acoustic amp but with some tweaks to the master EQ it sprang into life. Delays are nice and varied. Reverbs are OK, would have liked to have been able to have the reverb as loud as the dry signal for some volume swell effects. The acoustic processor brings some nice tonal adjustments and with the right tweaks, it makes your guitar sing. Programing on the unit is straightforward if you are used to these kinds of units and you can also assign the 3 rotary knobs to almost ant effect parameter for live tweaking. There are also 4 assignment controls per patch that can be used in conjunction with the CTL and expression pedals to manipulate effect parameters like toggling long/short Reverbs without changing the patch and having harsh cut offs. The chorus is also very nice, which is expected from a boss unit. The pitch shifter is a bit pants, very warbly on clean sounds, passible when using distortion/OD. The other modulation effects all sound fantastic, particularly the rotary speaker. Using my electric, the amp sims sound great as do the various distortion/overdrives. The editing software for the PC is very user friendly and is great for learning all the tweaks you can apply using the assignments. Build wise it ferls quite sturdy and it should be able to last a good few years of playing. Overall I'd say this is a great wee unit, but the 2 extra toggle pedals are a must to unleash its full potential. If you are looking for a budget multi effects but not a budget sound, this has it in spades.
