Yes that was one of the bug fixes in 1.04 I believe. If you press the CTL button the Accel will be highlighted, on the right screen under "Func" turn the knob all the way to the right until you see LED On/Off. Now the light will turn on.
Wow, thats a quick response and thanks for the tip! Also huge Rush fan myself and always looking at ways to re create that Lifeson sound! True story. I saw Geddy standing in the doorway outside my work in London... funny think is I was actually watching Rush 'Clockwork Angels live' on my computer, glanced up and there he was!.... I was checking if this was a hidden extra on the DVD that actually brings the man to your door!
Glenn I was checking out the Gt-100 cause i have every boss pedal known to man and i was thinking about downsizing. Anyway I was blown away when i heard "Changing Seasons". I have a few songs that are very similar. I just wanted to tell you how great that song sounds to me. You know when you hear or play something and something like the melody gives you goosebumps. Keep up the good work with your music and the great tutorials. From one musician to another Your awesome dude!!!!
Just in case you are trying to use BOSS Tone Studio and you can't get your presets to come up...... On the GT-100 go to System / MIDI Settings. On page 2 make sure MIDI in select is set to USB (Auto) and make sure MIDI out select is set to USB
Hi Glenn again !! Thanks for anawer!!! I just heard Your reverbnation tracks And Ohhh man i love Your music And the Way You play And perform !! I spent the lást night flying with Your music !!!! You got a new fan for ever !!!! Thanks a lot for bring me joy And beautiful music into my life !!!! Cheers man !!!! Saludos amigo gran guitarrista!!!!
Because if you use these things in what they can "4 Cable Method" which is hooking it up the the FX loop of an amp and the amp input at the same time you can have certain things hitting the input of the amp and other things like time based FX going to the FX loop which is after the amps gain stage. That's the advantage of being able to move things around in the FX chain. It's just like using traditional pedals.
Very easy to do. First press the system button and scroll to the Phrase Loop block. On the right screen set the pedal function to OFF. The press the CTL/EXP button and scroll over to an assign, set the Source to P. Loop pedal, turn the assign ON and set the Target category to whatever effect you want.
That's a good question Darren, I have discovered recently that it is best to have the FV at the very End of the Chain right before the Digital Block. That way when you have aq patch with some gain on it you can reduce the volume without affecting the gain of the amp.
Yes this does have a great sounding "whammy" octave that can be assigned to a pedal and the harmonizer is pretty darn good. there are some videos of Rob Marcello demonstrating this.
Just checking. Sometimes the easiest thing gets overlooked. I guess the next thing would be to make sure you are properly connected. Guitar > GT-100 guitar in GT-100 effect send > Amp front input GT-100 effect return > Amp FX Send GT-100 L Mono output > Amp FX Loop return
Yes that is called "Manual Mode". I you press on the bank up & down pedals together the unit will go into Manual Mode. There you can assign different FX to all of the pedals and use it like a traditional stomp pedal board.
Very informative video! I was trying to do what I thought was a simple edit to one of the patches I downloaded from you. I messed with it for hours because I could not figure out what all was going on with the push of one button. By the way on the Neal Schon patch, if you dump up the gains on the amps and reduce the delay a little, it is a Tesla - Modern Day Cowboy sound almost perfect! Love that sound.
Hy Glenn youre the best. You Show me exatly that what i Looking for. Before i used the Boss GT-10. Now i'm use the GT-100. I found it not so easy like the GT-10. But thanks again, youre the Best. Dear Franky
yes i believe there is a way. You would have to put all of the FX in the GT-100 into each amp block. A or B and go L&R out to your amps. That way everything that is in amp block A in the GT would go out of the L output and everything that is in amp block B in the GT would go out of the right output.

No you don't have to cycle through them. You set them up to have the same pedal trigger them all at the same time. For example, My lead boost has a 20db volume jump, 20db delay level jump, EQ Mid boost and Delay Level Feedback increase. All at the same time when I press my lead boost pedal. I show all of this in the video. Just follow along with it.
Man this brought back some bad memories of trying to program my GT-4; I think this was the first Boss multi effects unit with pedal assigns. That shit drove me crazy. The GT 100 does look a little easier, but the Helix looks way more intuitive; Roland has always had a problem with making their stuff for regular players rather than audio engineers. I had to sell my guitar synth it drove me so nutty. All those parameters and that tiny screen... oy veh!! While I'm here, Glenn, I'm wondering if you're intending to review the new GT-1 that Roland is launching today. Looks like a great companion to the Micro Cube for guitarists on the go. Thanks for all the videos. If only I could download your superior talent on the guitar... heh, heh. Maybe someday.
Well as far which is better, that depends on the application. Both the HD's & The GT's have strengths & weaknesses. Which one is better should be up to you and the way you would use the device. Both are top notch products and you can't go wrong with either one.
First go to the Boss website and download & install the drivers for your Boss unit. Also while you are there download the Boss Librarian and install that after you install the drivers. Then hook up your GT-100 to your computer with USB and turn it on. Your computer should recognize the GT. Open Librarian and at the top of the window under "setup" make sure your Gt-100 is selected. This will enable you to load and save your sounds to your computer.
i watch some reviews and videos of gt-100 and sound not good to me..but when i saw your videos..i think i wanna buy a gt-100.,,you own a gt-10 and gt-100 and both are sounds really good to me...i think not the gt-10 or gt-100.,..i think.,,.its is you glenn.,.you program them really sounds good,.,your videos help me a lot and not just me.,.thank you,.,keep rockin' glenn,..
Thank you Dave, yes at the under 600$ price range I have to say for me, the GT-100 is tops right now. Although I don't have a digitech RP so some may disagree but I am using the GT-100 for Live concerts, small and large venues and studio work and it really performs well.
i noticed you have alot of gear but no mac? no a mac kinda guy? or is that just a extra keyboard, because i was curious what you used to record :) (great vid)
Yeah the GT-100 Librarian is basic and it's just good for saving & loading your patches. There will be a detailed editor soon though. If you google GT-100 Floorboard Editor you can find out about it.
would you say the gt100 is the best on the market at the moment,,been looking at the eleven rack but keep coming back to this for an upgrade, currently using a gt8..cheers Glenn great work!
yeahh , everything is right connceted don't worry .. the problem is after i turn S/R on i can only use effects if i put them before the S/R in the effects chain if i put it after it it's not working for example reverb and delay doesn't work ..
Always a big fan of your vids sir! I"m thinking about getting the GT-100 because I can't get the sound I want from my HD500. I still play through my XTLive...to me it sounds better than my HD500...
another great video glen! Will you consider doing a comparison video between the hd500 & the gt100 or give your opinion of which you prefer. I own the hd500 and would like your take on which you find that a) sounds better, & b) is more user friendly, as I am considering buying the gt100.
You should look into the Traynor K-4 and K-2. These are really keyboard amps but they sound killer for these digital modelers. Currently I use the QSC K-12's with the GT-100. They sound very good.
THanks for your work Glenn. Do U have any words of wisdom regarding the "System settings pref." area? Watching just one of your basic videos about programming my GT-100 has helped me polish up some of my more complicated patches!
What a shame! I might have no choice but to get a DD-3 pedal separately, or something with equivalent hold function which includes delay. Thank you for your very fast reply! :)
Well if you are using the 4 cable method with your JVM and you are happy with the results then maybe not. BUT if you are going into the front of your amp or in the FX loop then YES, the GT-100 is much better with this application. That;'s a great amp you got BTW.
Hi glenn,thanks for that Gt-100 video setting intsructional video;but i was wondering: Is that FS-6 pedaljust for a two amp set-up? or can it be used to beef up your over-dub guitar(Live-performance)effects set up? I guess what i'm trying to ask;is there more than one way to get multiple guitar effects parts while you're playing live or in a studio setting? I f i were playing in a band with tow guitar players;this wouldn't be too much on my mind;but if i were the only guitar player;yes it would.
I appreciate the time you give to explain these stuff to us .... I hav a query .. Im more into effects, like Tom Morello solos .. Is BOSS gt-100 ideal for me ? Can I assign a "Whammy" effect on the pedal, like octave shift controlled by the pedal or sumthing like that ... (The solo of song "Killing in the Name" is exactly what Im talking about) ... and is the Harmonist good on this ?? ... thanks :)
Great tutorials. I bought the GT 100 based on your excellent 'sound on sound' vid.. Not sure if I am following this correctly, or you may have explained, but I am trying to figure out a way assigning the built in Vol/Exp pedal to control the delay volume as I use an Ernie Ball Vol for my volume.. thanks
Thank you John. That's a tricky one. First you have to turn OFF the volume pedal in the system menu. Then you have to go into the assigns menu and set the target to EXP and the source to delay Level.
What are your thoughts on the GT-100 Librarian ? Will it ever have a app for the PC that will let you change settings like on Digitech Multi-effects Libraian ? It makes it a lot easier to have your board on the ground & a model of it on your PC to make the tweaks & changes . By the way I enjoy your reviews & music ...
Hey great job man, one thing, when I use pitch shifter in FX 2 to get a virtual half step tuned sound, i get an ugly flanger sound, how do i get rid of it :(
Sorry my typing isn't that great;but i'm wanting to to multiple effects part playing if need be Glenn? But i never seen that FS-6 pedal from Boss i'm assuming;so i thought i'd shoot you a question or so ok? Thanks Glenn. Take care.
Hey Glenn, great videos! Would like to know if you would recommend the gt100 for gigging? It looks great, and sounds great, but just wondered if this would change in a gig environment? Great playing! Thanks :)
Good day. I have a Boss Gt-100 conected throught the 4 cable method to a Marshal Amp. If I still want to use the amp simulation in the GT-100, where must I put the loop S/R (send/return); before or after the amp simulations. Please reply. Thank you.
I still cant fig out how to use this thing! plus half the time when I connect to my amp no sound comes out at all and I don't know y? yeah I'm an idiot idk? I hv just had the hardest time trying to use this thing!
Hello, i'm new to the digital scenario and would appreciate if you could help me out. I'm getting a gt100 and now need something to play it through for jams/small performances. I dont want an amp cause then it'll colour the sound with its own tone. Could i please get alternatives to expensive flat speakers. my objective is clarity and volume
My GT-100 is for home use....it's on my desk where I need it, so I can easily tweak my settings without having to kill my back if it were on the floor. Why the expression pedal is attached to the unit is mind boggling. Since my GT-100 is on my desk, my expression pedal is also on my desk...not exactly where I need it. IF I were to buy an external expression pedal, would I be able to use it as a volume and /or wah pedal? I read something that implied an external pedal can only be used for the volume function and not the wah. anyone??
HEY BRO,, been a while just wanted to sat hi... nice TSA15 by Ibanez.. got 1 with the matching 12" cab.. like it very much.. how do the pre-amps on this unit compare to the gt-10 line hd 500???
hey glenn. i really like your videos! i got a boss gt 100 now..but...is it possible to have more than two of the fx effects?...especially in the manual mode, for example...have a vibrato..a flanger AND a octave pedal?
Hello. I want to use CTL to turn on/off delay, and use the p.loop pedal to control delay tempo and other effects tempo as well. I already managed to det CTL and also P. Loop pedal to tap tempo delay. But I can't find the way to control other effects tempo. My idea was to be able to set tempo on all time based efffects like delay, tremolo, phaser etc with just tapping one pedal or at least 2 separate ones (one for delay and other one for other effects). Any idea how can I set global tap tempo for all effects?
Hi Glenn, I am trying to use the sound hold function in the same context it could be used with the Boss DD-3 pedal... I need to use a sound hold with a delay time of 500ms, and one with a delay time of 800ms. I can't work out how to add a delay time for the sound hold on the Boss GT-100 and am hoping you can help! Cheers, Jo
Hi Glenn, im trying to do something so simple with my gt 100 yet so dam hard.... for me anyway hehe, i want to somehow set it up so that the foot buttons turn on and off individual fx that i choose but otherwise there is nothing else in the mix, ie; im using my amps clean or dirty channel naked (the sound, not me while playing) with the option to "stomp" an effect on or off. is this possible?
I like the GT-100 but if you can also assign the accel to an external ctrl pedal and other functions to the accel then why did they label that pedal and got rid of the LED indicator? That doesn't make any sense, I liked how the GT-10 just said Ctrl 1 and 2 and switching to phrase loop by pressing both bank pedals at the same time. I like the unit, the color, the 2 screens, the construction, the menus, but the pedal layout is keeping me away from upgrading from my GT-10. What do you think Glenn
HI GLENN. COULD EXPLAIN HOW TO SET THE GT100 HARMONIZER TO GET THE 2 GUITARS SOLO OF HOTEL CALIFORNIA ( ROCK VERSION). I ATTEMTED TO DO IT BUT I COULDN' T. THERE IS A NOTE THAT SOUND OUT OF TONE. WITH MY OLD ZOOM 3030 I GET THE RIGHT HARMONIZED SOUND EASILY.
Please can u tell me how can I create a virtual Kill-switch effect on gt 100 as my guitar doesn't have one... I want an effect like the intro of "Know your enemy" by Rage Against the Machine {Tom Morello}
It goes straight through a Fender Super-Sonic, and the amp goes through the PA. I really like how the new set-up is for the new unit. So what is your opinion on it? Is it worth upgrading?
Hi there. Question for you if you may. I have an old gt3. Looking to update but dont want a complicated unit nor too digital sounding. Gt8, pod x3 live, pod xt live, other...Which would you recommend? Thanks so much Max from melbourne
hello glen , great videos from a pro congrats , i have a question my friend , Im trying to use the gt-100's 4 cable method , i do the method allright , but i can't use the volume on my gt-100 and nothing works on the effects chain after the send and return , say if i wanna use reverb i have to move it and put it before the S/R .. please help thanks.
Hey I was wondering if u had a video showing how u use the gt 100 when connecting it to the computer. And if u have had any problems hooking it up to the computer? Mine will not let me install the driver for the USB connection properly.
The system changes you make like turning off the phrase loop feature..is it for only this particular patch or the looper is turned off for all the patches ??
10 years old, yet still so very useful. Thanks amigo!
Yes that was one of the bug fixes in 1.04 I believe. If you press the CTL button the Accel will be highlighted, on the right screen under "Func" turn the knob all the way to the right until you see LED On/Off. Now the light will turn on.
This guy is an absolute godsend !!! Best and most informative GT100 instruction videos on here ! Well done Glenn !!! You are the BOSS 🤘🎸😊
Wow, thats a quick response and thanks for the tip!
Also huge Rush fan myself and always looking at ways to re create that Lifeson sound!
True story. I saw Geddy standing in the doorway outside my work in London... funny think is I was actually watching Rush 'Clockwork Angels live' on my computer, glanced up and there he was!.... I was checking if this was a hidden extra on the DVD that actually brings the man to your door!
Glenn I was checking out the Gt-100 cause i have every boss pedal known to man and i was thinking about downsizing. Anyway I was blown away when i heard
"Changing Seasons". I have a few songs that are very similar. I just wanted to tell you how great that song sounds to me.

Just in case you are trying to use BOSS Tone Studio and you can't get your presets to come up......
On the GT-100 go to System / MIDI Settings.
On page 2 make sure MIDI in select is set to USB (Auto)
and make sure MIDI out select is set to USB
best guy on the net for explaining stuff sound man.. thanks glenn
Hi Glenn again !! Thanks for anawer!!! I just heard Your reverbnation tracks And Ohhh man i love Your music And the Way You play And perform !! I spent the lást night flying with Your music !!!! You got a new fan for ever !!!! Thanks a lot for bring me joy And beautiful music into my life !!!! Cheers man !!!! Saludos amigo gran guitarrista!!!!
Thank you very much Sir.
Yes the effects are stellar.
Thanks for the quick reply, Glenn! I will try that.
Because if you use these things in what they can "4 Cable Method" which is hooking it up the the FX loop of an amp and the amp input at the same time you can have certain things hitting the input of the amp and other things like time based FX going to the FX loop which is after the amps gain stage. That's the advantage of being able to move things around in the FX chain. It's just like using traditional pedals.
Ha, thanks for listening (and watching). Those background tracks are form my album "Fusion III"
Absolutely I would recommend it for gigging. I am using it live at least 2 to 3 times a week.
Very easy to do. First press the system button and scroll to the Phrase Loop block. On the right screen set the pedal function to OFF. The press the CTL/EXP button and scroll over to an assign, set the Source to P. Loop pedal, turn the assign ON and set the Target category to whatever effect you want.
I'm sorry did you say something? I was busy listening to those badass tracks you had going in the background:) Nice job man!
always making good new videos!! i really learned from your videos a lot man....thanks!!
That's a good question Darren, I have discovered recently that it is best to have the FV at the very End of the Chain right before the Digital Block. That way when you have aq patch with some gain on it you can reduce the volume without affecting the gain of the amp.
I also am playing it through the QSC 12's and I agree...sounds delish!
You can use the assigns to assign the tap tempo to the Accel or Looper pedal.
Thanks Glenn . Keep up the good work & thanks for sharing the knowledge ...
No there is not a 12 string simulator. There is an acoustic simulator though. It works pretty good. That is located in the FX1 & FX2 categories.
Yes this does have a great sounding "whammy" octave that can be assigned to a pedal and the harmonizer is pretty darn good. there are some videos of Rob Marcello demonstrating this.
Just checking. Sometimes the easiest thing gets overlooked. I guess the next thing would be to make sure you are properly connected.
Guitar > GT-100 guitar in

Yes that is called "Manual Mode". I you press on the bank up & down pedals together the unit will go into Manual Mode. There you can assign different FX to all of the pedals and use it like a traditional stomp pedal board.

You should look at both the GT-100 and the POD HD500 as an upgrade.
Make sure you have the pedal switch to momentary and not toggle. That may get it to work.
I f i were using midid to change amp channels, could i assign one of the pedals to send a midi signal and change amp channel??
i noticed you have alot of gear but no mac? no a mac kinda guy? or is that just a extra keyboard, because i was curious what you used to record :) (great vid)
yeahh maybe , well thanks for your time my friend , keep rocking.
Hi Tim, no not at the same time. You can only have 1 effect on FX1 & FX2 going. You can't have 2 FX at the same time on FX 1 & FX2
Yeah the GT-100 Librarian is basic and it's just good for saving & loading your patches. There will be a detailed editor soon though. If you google GT-100 Floorboard Editor you can find out about it.

yeahh , everything is right connceted don't worry .. the problem is after i turn S/R on i can only use effects if i put them before the S/R in the effects chain if i put it after it it's not working for example reverb and delay doesn't work ..
Always a big fan of your vids sir! I"m thinking about getting the GT-100 because I can't get the sound I want from my HD500. I still play through my XTLive...to me it sounds better than my HD500...
another great video glen! Will you consider doing a comparison video between the hd500 & the gt100 or give your opinion of which you prefer. I own the hd500 and would like your take on which you find that a) sounds better, & b) is more user friendly, as I am considering buying the gt100.
of course it's on , i'm Using Marshal DSL40c
You should look into the Traynor K-4 and K-2. These are really keyboard amps but they sound killer for these digital modelers. Currently I use the QSC K-12's with the GT-100. They sound very good.
You should either try going into the FX return of the amp or run in 4 cable method. I just did a video on that if you care to watch it.
hope you will loadup more videos like these ones man,, yoouuuu realllyyy rooooocckkkk!!.... thanks..
The HD500 is very good too and i do use it as well.
That depends on what you would be using it for. Do you play live?? do you use an amp or go direct to PA.
Had trouble sticking with you. Background music kept making me drift away :)
Thanks for your insights!
I am not sure how the 'sound hold' feature under fx1/fx2 works, could you please tell me how to use that?
You can try the Slicer Effect in FX1
Alright thank you very much!
THanks for your work Glenn. Do U have any words of wisdom regarding the "System settings pref." area? Watching just one of your basic videos about programming my GT-100 has helped me polish up some of my more complicated patches!
Hi glenn it would be really great if you can show us how to program a great metal patch on gt100 and satraini sound.
What a shame!
I might have no choice but to get a DD-3 pedal separately, or something with equivalent hold function which includes delay.
Thank you for your very fast reply! :)
Hi! Glenn....I love your demo and its very nice..anyway if you could just help..how to set my delay into 8th dot note for gt 100.....thanks!
Well if you are using the 4 cable method with your JVM and you are happy with the results then maybe not. BUT if you are going into the front of your amp or in the FX loop then YES, the GT-100 is much better with this application. That;'s a great amp you got BTW.
Doesn't Mac have an unzip program? If not then I should offer a Mac version but how?
Hi glenn,thanks for that Gt-100 video setting intsructional video;but i was wondering: Is that FS-6 pedaljust for a two amp set-up? or can it be used to beef up your over-dub guitar(Live-performance)effects set up? I guess what i'm trying to ask;is there more than one way to get multiple guitar effects parts while you're playing live or in a studio setting? I f i were playing in a band with tow guitar players;this wouldn't be too much on my mind;but if i were the only guitar player;yes it would.
I appreciate the time you give to explain these stuff to us .... I hav a query .. Im more into effects, like Tom Morello solos .. Is BOSS gt-100 ideal for me ? Can I assign a "Whammy" effect on the pedal, like octave shift controlled by the pedal or sumthing like that ... (The solo of song "Killing in the Name" is exactly what Im talking about) ... and is the Harmonist good on this ?? ... thanks :)
Great tutorials. I bought the GT 100 based on your excellent 'sound on sound' vid..
Not sure if I am following this correctly, or you may have explained, but I am trying to figure out a way assigning the built in Vol/Exp pedal to control the delay volume as I use an Ernie Ball Vol for my volume.. thanks
Thank you John. That's a tricky one. First you have to turn OFF the volume pedal in the system menu. Then you have to go into the assigns menu and set the target to EXP and the source to delay Level.
What are your thoughts on the GT-100 Librarian ? Will it ever have a app for the PC that will let you change settings like on Digitech Multi-effects Libraian ? It makes it a lot easier to have your board on the ground & a model of it on your PC to make the tweaks & changes . By the way I enjoy your reviews & music ...
Hey great job man, one thing, when I use pitch shifter in FX 2 to get a virtual half step tuned sound, i get an ugly flanger sound, how do i get rid of it :(
Sure just do a google search for: Boss FS-6 and you will surely find it from many online stores
Sorry my typing isn't that great;but i'm wanting to to multiple effects part playing if need be Glenn? But i never seen that FS-6 pedal from Boss i'm assuming;so i thought i'd shoot you a question or so ok? Thanks Glenn. Take care.
Hey Glenn, great videos!
Would like to know if you would recommend the gt100 for gigging? It looks great, and sounds great, but just wondered if this would change in a gig environment?
Great playing!
Thanks :)
when the boss F6 footswicth its connected to the gt-100, cause thats the way i have it riht now, how can i hook up another exp pedal??.....
Good day. I have a Boss Gt-100 conected throught the 4 cable method to a Marshal Amp. If I still want to use the amp simulation in the GT-100, where must I put the loop S/R (send/return); before or after the amp simulations. Please reply. Thank you.
I still cant fig out how to use this thing! plus half the time when I connect to my amp no sound comes out at all and I don't know y? yeah I'm an idiot idk? I hv just had the hardest time trying to use this thing!
Hello, i'm new to the digital scenario and would appreciate if you could help me out. I'm getting a gt100 and now need something to play it through for jams/small performances. I dont want an amp cause then it'll colour the sound with its own tone. Could i please get alternatives to expensive flat speakers. my objective is clarity and volume
My GT-100 is for home use....it's on my desk where I need it, so I can easily tweak my settings without having to kill my back if it were on the floor. Why the expression pedal is attached to the unit is mind boggling. Since my GT-100 is on my desk, my expression pedal is also on my desk...not exactly where I need it. IF I were to buy an external expression pedal, would I be able to use it as a volume and /or wah pedal? I read something that implied an external pedal can only be used for the volume function and not the wah. anyone??
HEY BRO,, been a while just wanted to sat hi... nice TSA15 by Ibanez.. got 1 with the matching 12" cab.. like it very much.. how do the pre-amps on this unit compare to the gt-10 line hd 500???
hey glenn. i really like your videos! i got a boss gt 100 now..but...is it possible to have more than two of the fx effects?...especially in the manual mode, for example...have a vibrato..a flanger AND a octave pedal?
Hello.
I want to use CTL to turn on/off delay, and use the p.loop pedal to control delay tempo and other effects tempo as well.
I already managed to det CTL and also P. Loop pedal to tap tempo delay. But I can't find the way to control other effects tempo.
My idea was to be able to set tempo on all time based efffects like delay, tremolo, phaser etc with just tapping one pedal or at least 2 separate ones (one for delay and other one for other effects).
Any idea how can I set global tap tempo for all effects?
thanks glenn,
i´ll do so. I have both at 10 minutes from home here...
regards
max
Hi Glenn,
I am trying to use the sound hold function in the same context it could be used with the Boss DD-3 pedal... I need to use a sound hold with a delay time of 500ms, and one with a delay time of 800ms.
I can't work out how to add a delay time for the sound hold on the Boss GT-100 and am hoping you can help!
Cheers,
Jo
Hi Glenn, im trying to do something so simple with my gt 100 yet so dam hard.... for me anyway hehe, i want to somehow set it up so that the foot buttons turn on and off individual fx that i choose but otherwise there is nothing else in the mix, ie; im using my amps clean or dirty channel naked (the sound, not me while playing) with the option to "stomp" an effect on or off. is this possible?
I like the GT-100 but if you can also assign the accel to an external ctrl pedal and other functions to the accel then why did they label that pedal and got rid of the LED indicator? That doesn't make any sense, I liked how the GT-10 just said Ctrl 1 and 2 and switching to phrase loop by pressing both bank pedals at the same time.
I like the unit, the color, the 2 screens, the construction, the menus, but the pedal layout is keeping me away from upgrading from my GT-10. What do you think Glenn
HI GLENN. COULD EXPLAIN HOW TO SET THE GT100 HARMONIZER TO GET THE 2 GUITARS SOLO OF HOTEL CALIFORNIA ( ROCK VERSION). I ATTEMTED TO DO IT BUT I COULDN' T. THERE IS A NOTE THAT SOUND OUT OF TONE. WITH MY OLD ZOOM 3030 I GET THE RIGHT HARMONIZED SOUND EASILY.
Great video, thanks. I don't get Assigns. If a single patch can have lots of assigns how is each assign activated? Thanks.
Please can u tell me how can I create a virtual Kill-switch effect on gt 100 as my guitar doesn't have one... I want an effect like the intro of "Know your enemy" by Rage Against the Machine {Tom Morello}
Thanks!
It goes straight through a Fender Super-Sonic, and the amp goes through the PA. I really like how the new set-up is for the new unit. So what is your opinion on it? Is it worth upgrading?
Hi there. Question for you if you may. I have an old gt3. Looking to update but dont want a complicated unit nor too digital sounding. Gt8, pod x3 live, pod xt live, other...Which would you recommend?
Thanks so much
Max from melbourne
Thank you very much
Oh, I forgot. I'd also like the led to flash at the speed of the tempo set.
Great vid Glenn, could you tell me how to set the EXP pedal to turn on the TUNER whenever the pedal is in the OFF position please? Thank you
hello glen , great videos from a pro congrats , i have a question my friend , Im trying to use the gt-100's 4 cable method , i do the method allright , but i can't use the volume on my gt-100 and nothing works on the effects chain after the send and return , say if i wanna use reverb i have to move it and put it before the S/R .. please help thanks.
HI sir i already download the patches in my laptop . But i dont know how put it in my gt100 please reply thanks
What amp are you using? Your S/R Block is ON right?
Hey I was wondering if u had a video showing how u use the gt 100 when connecting it to the computer. And if u have had any problems hooking it up to the computer? Mine will not let me install the driver for the USB connection properly.
The system changes you make like turning off the phrase loop feature..is it for only this particular patch or the looper is turned off for all the patches ??
