Boss GT-1 Guitar Effects Processor

Full Description

Driven by the ST-Series Engine

The Boss multi-effects pedal features their leading sound engine from the GT series of pedals, offering a range of world class amps and effects that suit all types of music. The pedal produces professional quality sounds with plenty of tweakable parameters, perfect for seasoned musicians wanting complete control over their sound. Boss has incorporated their history of effects processing, from the OD-1 overdrive, to modern effects powered by MDP technology, as well as a range of COSM amp tones.

A Compact Multi-Effects Unit

With a lightweight and portable design, the GT-1 provides a range of controls and features that makes it perfect for travelling musicians. The multi-effects processor offers a selection of dedicated controls and a built in expression pedal, allowing for quick and easy adjustments to the effects. The pedal can be powered by either an AC adaptor or 4 AA batteries, with up to 7 hours of battery life when constantly used, perfect for playing street gigs, backstage, or on-the-go. The pedal also features jack inputs for more expression pedals, and a USB port for recording and connecting with DAW and Boss software.

A Range of Controls in a Compact Design

The GT-1's three footswitches are designed to provide patch selection, tuner access, looper control, and more in a compact design. The dedicated CTL1 switch can be assigned to a range of functions like tap tempo, or effects on/off, while the expression pedal and toe switch can be used for volume, wah, and other effects parameters. A range of control buttons are simply laid out for easy access, allowing both professions and novice musicians to enjoy the pedal to its fullest potential.

Patch Selection and Sound Creation

It's simple to find the perfect tones for your musical style, and just as easy to customise them to your taste. Beginners can get great sounds right away, while more experienced players will appreciate how quick and intuitive it is to adjust sounds. The easy select function allows you to choose patches by genre, distortion, or effect type, while the easy edit function lets you tweak drive, modulation, and echo tones to find the perfect sound for your playing style./p>
