You could program an entire nights worth of tones in one freaking patch. This unit is amazing. I only bought it cuz I moved from my house into an apartment and just wanted to use headphones. What I got was everything I ever needed.
Hi there, Alberto! Thank you, I really appreciate it - I'm glad you found my videos helpful. Please let me know if you need anything else, I'd be happy to assist. Have an excellent day.
@@GuitarNTabs Well actually I have 2 questions; can I activate/deactivate and control the looper using external foot switches? And, would you recommend RC-10R or RC-5 loop pedals? Thanks again!
@@AlbertoMorales-od1gh - Hi Alberto. Happy New Year. Thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate it. The Looper can only be activated by pressing the two footswitches that are set to do so, from the factory. An external footswitch, like the Boss FS-7, can help you assign effects and parameters, but not the Looper. I have no experience with those Loopers, but I would check each models' individual differences and then decide what unit I need. I hope this helps. Let me know. Cheers.
Great video! I just got mine a few days ago. This pedal is pretty awesome! It's nice to see you take the time to make these videos and go in depth with it. They've really helped me out alot. Thanks for sharing what you know man.
Hi there, Joshua 😊 Thanks for your comment and kind words, I really appreciate it. Nice, congratz, I'm sure you will love the GT-1! It's a great piece of gear, and both effects and preamp models are top notch! I'm glad you like the content, and the depth of the videos, thank you! Please let me know if you have questions, or need set-up help, I'd be happy to assist! Rock on & all th best! 🎸
@Ramzi Nassar - Thank you, very much, I truly appreciate the kind words! I'm very pleased to hear that the video was helpful to you. The GT-1 is truly amazing, and I'm very pleased with mine, that's for sure. Lots of options and possibilities. Let me know if you need anything else, I'd be happy to help out. Have a very nice day Cheers.
@rmynors - You are very welcome, and thank you for watching, that means a lot to me! Indeed, the GT-1 is a great piece of gear, and much can be achieved with it. Sure, these instructions can be applied to the GT-1B as well, they should be quite similar if not almost identical. Please let me know if you have further questions, I'd be happy to assist. Have a great day.
After I made changes and turned power off, everything was lost. Finally I realized the WRITE function acts as a "SAVE". After making changes one wants to keep permanently, hit EXIT and ENTER simutaneously, enter into "Write" screen. Press enter a few time to go thru the screens until the end and the "executing" message will appear briefly, and that's it! Saved for good.
GuitarNTabs I have a question!!! I have a Boss FS-5U foot switch. Can I connect it to the Boss GT-1 and use it for tap tempo? I’m using factory preset #69 on its 1st setting then when I hit the ctl1 I use the OD but Then I need to dial in a different BPM time! Will it work??
@@bobbysaldana1785 - Yup that will be able to act as a tap tempo, just have a look in the Manual for the FS-5u, on how to set it up, and then set up an Assign in the GT-1.
Hey there! Thank you very much, I really appreciate it! Indeed - the GT-1 is a beast! Let me know if you need anything, I'd be happy to help out! Have an excellent weekend. Cheers.
Hi there, Matthew, Thank you, I really appreciate your response and kind words. I'm pleased to hear that my video were of help to you. Let me know if you need anything. All the best.
Hello, I will receive my GT -1 in a few more days from now. I am Excited. I just want to be sure if this can be used on Violin. I use Electric violin. Nothing fancy sound but more on the jazzy, smooth sound. I hope I can see a demonstration on how to set it up for electric violin. Thank you.
Hey there, Ken 😊 Excellent, congratz on your purchase! You've made an excellent choice! Sure, the electric violin should work just fine with the GT-1. How will you be using the GT-1 with your electric violin? What would the GT-1 be connected to? An amplifier, a PA/Mixer or headphones? That would be handy to know, in order to help you get things set up correctly. Looking forward to hear from you Best regards Cheers.
GuitarNTabs here are my equipments yamaha sv 250 then my gears are (in order of connection) violin -> Boss GE 7 (graphic equalizer)-> Boss GT 1 -> Yamaha MG16XU (mixing console) Additional question is what kind of cable is best? to give you an idea, I was using Zoom A2.1u for the longest time. it is connected to the mixing console using XLR cables. thank you
@@violin_vampire - You can chat with me here, or via email, if that's alright. Email might be easier. You can find it on my RUclips Channel, in the About tab. 😊
Hi there, you are terrific! Great lesson. I have a question, I absolutely love my BOSS GT-1, but how do change the pitch shifter from standard tuning, to E-Flat tuning. Lots of rock songs are tuned down a 1/2 step, or a whole, like Guns and Roses, pretty much all their songs are in Eb tuning. Can you please describe or post a video on how to do it? Thank you.
Thanks, I appreciate it! Hmm, I'm not sure I understand... Are you talking the Master Output for the GT-1 or the Volume level for the PREAMP-block's volume? Thanks.
@@joeselsbeth - Aaah, thanks for clearing that up. Well, I tend to leave mine at 50, as default.. It seems to work well.. If I find any drop or increase in volume, when using more than one preamp type, then I will use the PREAMP's volume knob to level things out, and make it match the current model I'm using. I hope this makes sense. Let me know if you have further questions.
Hi, great tutorial - helps a lot! Could you do one about creating a bass-patch? I mean, that the guitar sounds like a bass. I tried a lot with using the octaver etc., but it never sounds right like a bass. Cheers mike
Hey there, Michael! Man, thank you for the kind words, and for requesting this! Sure, I'll look into this, and see what I can come up with! Should be fun, I reckon 😊 Let me know if you need anything else, I'd be happy to help. Thanks again, Have a nice day Cheers.
As always, another great tutorial! Thank you my friend. Quick question - is it possible to do a video tutorial or if you can simply explain the EQ options for the GT1?
Heey, Chris! Nice to hear from you - thanks 😊 Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it! Yeah, sure, I can do that. I'll see what I can come up with. Thanks for the request, man! Hope you're great! Have a nice day! Stay tuned 😊
Hi there, Yes, the GT-1 can be used as an Audio Interface, just connect it to your PC via USB. A question though.. Why do you want to use the GT-1 along with Guitar Rig?? Do you want to use Guitar Rig for preamp models, or?? Because, when running two units like it, it's important to get the two set up properly. Let me know. Cheers.
Actually I haven't used any of those devices before. So just want to try it out... And yes guitar rig for pre amps.. But let's see how that boss produces sound. But I have got only 15watt amp.. I am hoping I can still get some decent sound from that amp.
@@hitlarrajbhandari - Helo again, The preamp models in the GT-1 I can highly recommend. If your 15W amp doesn't have an Effects Loop, or an AUX In, or something similar, then I wouldn't recommend using the onboard preamp models... Instead I would recommend just plugging straight into the front input, like one normally would, and use the GT-1's effects instead. Problem is, you won't get good results, when running both your own amplifier and the GT-1's preamp models, and especially not if they're not connected to the proper equipment. Let me know if you need anything else. All the best.
Hi, did you ever create a tutorial for creating a new patch and saving it (without pedals etc) - I think saving the patch is the thing I'm missing. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, very helpful.
Hi there, Craig. Thanks for your comment and question, I greatly appreciate it. Hmm, I'm not sure what exactly you are referring to? You save a patch by pressing both the Enter and Exit buttons, entering the Write menu. Let me know if this is not what you're looking for. Thanks for your kind words, I'm glad you found my videos helpful. All the best Cheers.
Hey man, love your tutorials, they have helped such a lot. One quick question, are fx1 and fx2 exactly the same? It appears they are with the stress on using Fx1 as a comp and fx2 for mod.
Hey there, @Paul Walker! Thanks for the question and comment - and the kind words! 😊 Yes, FX1 and FX2 are the same - they are just placed at two different spots in the GT-1 signal chain - one for effects before the preamp and the other for effects after the preamp - as you say, FX1 for comp, for example, and FX2 for mod, etc. You can always move them around, if you wish to use them anywhere else in the signal chain. I hope this helps, if not, then let me know! Have an excellent day! Cheers.
Hey man!! Nice tutorial!!🤗 I had a question, can we switch on or off multiple effects using the same ctl 1 pedal. I don't kinda have money for extra footswitches...
Hey there. Thanks for your comment and question. Yes, one footswitch can have multiple effects assigned to it, so that's no problem. For example, the onboard CTL1 footswitch can have up to 6 individual effects/parameters assigned to it. Take a look at some of my other GT-1 videos, on my Channel - there'll be some videos about the assigns as well.
@@GuitarNTabs , wow thanks for the reply, you are a nice guy, I have to say!!! Just one question please, how does this unit perform in a live situation, Im planning to get this unit for gigs and stuff.?? How does this stand up to the mooer ge200?? Which one do you prefer for live stuff??
@@baibhabadhikari - Hey there! 😊 You're very welcome, I'm always happy to help out or answer any questions. Thanks! The GT-1 is excellent live, really! I use it live for all my gigs, running it direct to my band's PA, using the GT-1's onboard preamps and cabinets. It all sounds great! The Mooer GE200 is a good piece of gear, but I would still recommend the GT-1. You get more versatility with the GT-1. The effects are great, and the onboard Assigns will allow you to take control over several effects and parameters! The GT-1 is certainly the way to go 😊 The GT-1 is easy to program, set up and create patches! I'm very, very pleased with mine. I hope this helps.
@@baibhabadhikari - You are very welcome! No problem! If you need anything else, then please let me know 😊 Thanks, and you too! Enjoy the GT-1! Have a nice day Cheers.
Great video bro! So lemme see if I understand this, for each CTL pedal you have a number of "assignable" functions you can apply. Meaning, each pedal can toggle multiple effects on or off?
@Samuel Naidu - Hey there. Thank you for your comment and question - I appreciate it! Thanks for the kind words as well 😊 Yes, overall... For each patch you have a total of 6 Assigns - A1 to A6. These assigns can either Toggle or Momentarily active any of the parameters and effects within the GT-1. So yes, one assign can activate an overdrive pedal, while another assign can turn off an effects, while a third one can alter a certain parameter, etc. Onboard the GT-1 you have the CTL1 - to that footswitch you can apply as many of the assigns as you want, and if you add an external footswitch - FS-6 or FS-7, then you can apply those 6 assigns to those extra switches as well. Allowing you, for example, to have a clean sound to begin with, then assign some effects, changes, etc. to go to an overdriven sound and perhaps a lead sound lastly. If that makes sense. That the overall aspect of it, yes. So you're able to toggle multiple effects on or off, yes. Let me know if you need anything else, I'd be happy to help out. It can be a little daunting at first, but once you've got it, then you'll be so happy! The possibilities are endless! Looking forward to hear from you. Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Thanks for the detailed reply. Just going through all your videos and learning to use this unit. One other question... I have an amp that doesn't have an effects loop, which means I can't get the proper sound of the GT1's amps and cabinets, the sound is getting filtered through the guitar amp. Now I'm thinking I need to get another amp, one that has an effects return. Is there a way to work around this without me having to buy another amp? Oh, one other question! I noticed when I'm editing an existing patch, for example, hold down the OD button and I can choose different types of OD/Distortion and then adjust its parameters, BUT...when I hold down the delay button, I don't see the option to choose different types of delay. Where can I choose different types of delay? Thanks man!
@@sammydodgers121 - You are very welcome, Samuel. It's nice to hear that you've been paying attention to the videos - you already know a lot, man! Keep it up 👍 Well, if your amp doesn't have an FX Loop, then there's no real way to work around it.. Sadly enough.. You could use your headphones, connected to the GT-1, instead of your amp.. and use the GT-1's onboard preamps that way. You could also buy a set of studio monitors, to work with the GT-1. I do that, and it sounds great - using the GT-1's preamps. That's correct, for most of the effects, you are able to select what type, when in that particular effects block, but for the Delay, you would have to press MEMORY-EDIT and scroll to find the Delay block, then place the cursor over that Delay block and then you'll see an option called TYPE. This will allow you to select the type of delay you want. I don't really know why Boss did that, and not like the other effects, but that's how it is 😊 I hope this helps. Let me know how it all goes - you're going to rock this unit in no time! Cheers!
@@GuitarNTabs I sat for hours with this unit and managed to create some good patches for church tomorrow! (actually church in 3 hours, I've been up all night! haha). Anyway, I found a way to change delay type without going into MEMORY-EDIT, once you're in the normal delay edit screen, just hold down delay and a pop-up menu will open, then while holding down delay you can scroll through the different types of delay with the left knob. You have to scroll quickly though coz the pop-up menu disappears after a few seconds if you don't scroll. So yeah, thanks for all the helpful videos man, you got me started on this unit. I'm sure there's much more to learn!
@@sammydodgers121 - Haha, wow! You are persistent - that's good! 😊 Oh wow, that's cool! I don't think I knew that - excellent! You are more than welcome, Samuel - I'm happy to help out. Yes, there's always more to learn, and that's the great thing! Let me know if you need anything else, I'd be happy to help out still. Have a great day Cheers.
HI , Your videos helped a lot.Just bought a GT-1. For some reason, i could not delete the characters in a patch name while renaming the patch. You are supposed to do it with the EDIT button. But that did not do it in my case. Is there something wrong with my GT-1?
Hey there, Anis. Thanks, I appreciate your kind words! Hmm, that seems strange.. You could try this.. Press both the Enter and Exit buttons, and select the INIT-icon. That will erase the whole patch, allowing your to start from scratch. That might help with the problem you have.. It might just be a slight glitch for some reason. Cheers.
Can you tell us what happens to the original patch you used to create the new patch? Is the "Natural Clean" patch still there as well or does your new one replace the one you started with? I think when doing these tutorials, one should always cater to the complete newbie and be sure to explain everything thoroughly... But thx for your video, every little bit helps
Hi there, Ray. Whenever you adjust and/or alter an existing User Patch, the previous settings will be overwritten, unless you don't save the changes made. Thank you, I will take that into account, but, a little experimentation should be left for the new user, so they learn and discover. Thanks for watching, I appreciate. Please let me know if you need anything else. All the best.
Sorry but I got lost at almost every step of this video - can you recommend a howto that explains the GT-1 for beginners? To understand assignment of controls to effects one needs to know what controls are available and how assignment is done - I can't see the logic of how Boss have implemented this. Thanks so much.
How do I get a good 80's or modern metal tone with the Boss GT-1 and using my Marshall DSL40CR amp? Im having trouble getting a nice metal tone. Also do I hook the GT1 in the back of the FX loop on the back of the amp or in the front and turn pre-amp off?
Hi there, Louis. Thanks for the comment and question. How you connect the GT-1 to your amp is up to you. It depends on which part of your setup you want to use - whether it's your Marshall amp or the GT-1's preamp models. I've heard good things about the DSL40CR so maybe you should try that first, by connecting the GT-1 to the input of your amp. Make sure to turn OFF the GT-1's preamp-button. Also, make sure to set the Output Select to Combo Amp. Then it's a matter of getting your Marshall dialed in, to sound the way you want it to - and then add the desired effects from the GT-1. If you connect through the Marshall's Effects Loop Return, then you're going to use the GT-1's onboard preamp models. Make sure to set the Output Select to Combo Amp Return and activate the preamp-button, and choose a desired preamp model. You could try the 5150 DRV or BGNR UB models, perhaps add an overdrive or distortion from the OD/DS section. Let me know what you think. All the best.
I run mine(DSL1) directly into the effects return and it kills! Allows me to dial in those COSM preamps to perfection. I've tried every output setting,all create distinct options, but line out/headphones works best for me with a single 12" Celestion cab. Also sounds great as just an effects unit ran through the fx loop, using dirt and wah on a pedal board in front of amp. Hella kit for recording all kinds of guitar tones & textures.
@@stingylizard - Exactly, Ken! There are plenty of options, and they're all very useful! I'm still very pleased with mine, that's for sure! All the best.
Also, don't forget to turn off cab sims if going into a real amp. For some reason my gt100 has them turned on by default. Cab sims are only good if you're going into frfr speaker.
Hi there, Dyno Pascal. Thanks for your comment and question, I appreciate it. The 3 blue footswitches can not be set up to recall individual patches or sounds, no. However, if you want a patch with multiple tones/sounds, then you can easily do that. You do this by using the GT-1's Assigns. With those you can start out with a clean sound, then to an overdriven/distorted sound and lastly to a lead sound. I have several videos about this, here on my Channel, so check out these links: Boss GT-1 ALL In ONE Patch | Clean | OD/DS | Lead | Tutorial ruclips.net/video/zWwzN0CgA9w/видео.html If you want to understand the Assigns, and its functions, then have a look at my 3 part Assign series: Part 1: ruclips.net/video/ThLNH0FjP7o/видео.html Part 2: ruclips.net/video/6U8Ih0nYQ_Y/видео.html Part 3: ruclips.net/video/3OF-e68CYHM/видео.html I hope this helps. Best regards.
Hi, Thanks for your comment and question. Are you talking about adjusting effect settings while playing live, or are you talking about switching to different patches, when playing live? Or, are you talking about switching to different effects, using one of the footswitches, while playing live? For example from a clean sound to an overdriven sound? Let me know, and I'd be able to assist further. Cheers.
Hello Paul. Thanks for your comment and question, I appreciaet it. You would set up a patch so that you start with a clean sound, then use the GT-1's assign feature, to set up an overdrive/distortion pedal to be activated, or switching between preamp models, and then another assign can activate the Solo mode for the overdrive or distortion, depending on what you need. I hope this helps. If not, then please let me know. All the best.
Jimmy Mac Here again, This tutorial explains how to use the control and assign features but doesn't go into how to create and save a new patch from scratch. What is the name of your tutorial that does that for an novice like me? Assume I'm starting from a blank userpach, Thanks
Hello there, Jimmy! Thanks for your comment and question. You might be right, the tutorial is missing a few things.. That's why I'm starting to re-do my later videos. This will be one of them. I will start completely from scratch, with sound samples, and show how to create a patch. I'm working at the moment, the next few days, but then I will see if I can get things recorded and finished. I hope that's okay, but in the mean time, let me know if there's anything specific you would like me to add to the video. Thanks again. All the best. Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Actually, Boss should pay you to make these videos. I'm spending a great deal of time watching them. Their manuals are pretty poor. I figured out how to create and store a patch. I hope with all this work I can get some good patches out of it. There are way to many metal pre sets. Up until now I've used the Digitech RP-255 Great size for what it does. not bad sounds , the simplest unit to use and program but looking for variety of better sounds but it has to be small to fit on my board. I'm not sure when everything is turned off it is truly by passed. Your videos have saved me hours of frustration and headaches. Thanks for dong them again.
@@koolkat808hawaii - Thank you, that's kind of you to say. Honestly, I really wouldn't min that... Just waiting for the opportunity! Thank you for watching, it means a lot to me, and I'm pleased to hear that my videos are of value. True, the Owner's Manual is just "surface" stuff... Nice, well done! I'm sure you will. Well, the GT-1 is the right choice, trust me. I've used mine live, for rehearsals and for recording at home, and it's just excellent! Hmm, I don't know, honestly.. It's probably as "bypassed" as you can get it. Thank you, that's nice to hear. Please let me know if you need anything, your support is greatly appreciated. All the best.
Hey there. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it. To be honest, I actually don't fully know, but my best thought would be no... Given that the GT-1 doesn't have any MIDI I/Os, and no CC messages, then to me it wouldn't be possible. I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you need anything else. Have a nice day Cheers.
Hey there, Fritz! I hope you found this helpful - don't worry, I'll do another video on the genres, that we talked about. I just thought that this video would be a starter, then followed by another. Let me know if you need anything. Have a nice day Cheers 😊
Hi. I've just subscribed to your channel. Very good video and well explained. Great. I'm trying to find an accurate patch to replicate the Boss Blues Driver BD2 pedal. I'm sure it must be out there somewhere, but cannot find it. Could you help with this by any chance? I'm trying to avoid paying for a BD2 when I have the GT-1. Many thanks, and keep up the good work!
Hello there, Michael. Sorry for the late reply... The BD2 should be the same as the BLUES OD, in the GT-1's OD/DS section. This is what the Parameter Guide says about the BLUES OD: "This is a crunch sound of the BOSS BD-2. This produces distortion that faithfully reproduces the nuances of picking" I hope this helps. Cheers.
You save a patch by pressing the ENTER and EXIT buttons, at the same time, and this will take you into the WRITE-menu, where you can save your patch. I hope this makes sense. I have a tutorial video for this - link here: ruclips.net/video/YgzM8fr8Lyo/видео.html Let me know what you think. Best regards.
Hi there. I'm sorry for my late reply, I've been behind on answering comments... Sure, that's no problem. You simply set up your patch with the Natural Clean preamp, then add the overdrive from the OD/DS block, then press both Enter and Exit at the same time, and then you use Enter to navigate through the Write Menu. I hope this helps. Cheers.
Hi Darrell, Thanks for your comment and question, I appreciate it it. Yes, the Katana 100 mk2 has the "Power Amp In", so you connect the left output from the GT-1 to that. And you will be able to use the GT-1's preamp models. The Power Amp In acts like the Effects Loop Return does, but Boss went the extra mile, and specifically designed the Power Amp In to work with modellers. Make sure to set the Output Select to Combo Amp. Or, have a look in the Manual for both the GT-1 and Katana. I hope this helps. Otherwise, let me know. All the best.
Hi mate , great videos. Very clean and useful. So i picked one of these up the other day , just getting used to it. Now i know i could figure this out for myself but im too lazy man. Could you tell me how i can create a bass tone patch for my guitar. Ive been lightly messing around with the octave and pitch shifter mods but i just doest sound that clean and crisp . I used to use an amplifi fx100 and had a really good one on there. Any help would be appreciated. take it easy my guy.
@Darren Mackie - Hey there. Thank you for your comment and question - I appreciate it! The GT-1 is excellent, and I really dig mine, that's for sure! Haha, we all get a little lazy sometimes 😉 Funny, I've been asked this before, so yes, I will definitely look in to it! I'm sure the GT-1 can get close, but of course it will never sound the same as an actual bass, and the crisp feeling might not translate that well.. Again, it's not a real bass, but I'm sure we can get close. I'll look in to it, for sure. Let me know if you need anything else, I'd be happy to help out! P.S. - how have you connected the GT-1 to your gear? Do you use it with your own amp, or? Thanks Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Hi , thanks for your reply , i got a somewhat decent tone after messing around with it a little. I have another question if you could help. Im using the gt-1 to record in garageband on my mac. When im tracking , the volume seems fine coming through my headphones but when i record something its much weaker on the actual recording. Ihave my guitar plugged into the unit , a usb connecting it to my mac with garageband opened and the preferences input/output set to the gt1. Are there any other settings i need to change on the computer. The guitar tone seems really full and thick and loud whilst im playing , but as soon as listen to it back its weak , flat and quiet sounding, more than you'de expect it to be. Any ideas? cheers.
@@darrenmackie7390 - Hey there 😊 Nice, that's good! So you got a hold of it, or? The bass patch? Excellent question, really! This happens because the GT-1's input, coming into the PC/Mac, isn't quite matched to the output, after being recorded. I generally tend to just record the section I'm playing, and then adjust the output of that particular channel afterwards, when I go to export it or mix it. That seems to be the best solution. Also, you have the option to adjust some USB-settings, on the GT-1 itself - if you press the MENU-button. If you scroll to the end, almost, you'll see an icon called USB. Try entering that, and see what the adjustments say. In the GT-1 Manual you can find the terms and explanation of those parameters. Right off the bat I can't remember, sorry. But it's all in the Manual 😊 Try those two things out, and then let me know what happens, okay? Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Hi mate thanks for the reply again , yeh i just messed around with the eq etc. still a bit dodgy on the low end. So i maxed out the patch level and the output and also the mix level in the usb section (not really sure what that actually does) seemed to have improved it. Its been a while since ive recorded anything so i forgot the benefits of double (or even triple) tracking my parts. Still quite low when i export it out of the daw to have a listen through some good speakers but i can just sort that out in post prod i guess. Okay so one more question my guy then i'll leave you alone lolol. I read somewhere before i bought this thing that its possible to re amp in a daw , im really not savvy to all the jargon (which is why i really like channels like yours) but i dont even know where to start , or if its even possible and i just read it wrong. You know anything about that? Ta
@@darrenmackie7390 - Hey again. Sorry, but for some reason RUclips decided that your reply was spam.. Hate when that happens.. Anyway, it's sorted out now.. Excellent, I'm glad that you came close... But still, the low end will probably always lack.. given it's not a real bass.. I found the same thing, when messing around with it.. It could get close, but not all the way. Okay, so it helped a little, regarding the recording aspect.. I can't remember the overall features for the USB settings, but they can be found in the Owner's Manual. They are explained fairly well, actually 😊 But yes, I suppose most of it, regarding the level, would have to be corrected post prod. When I record next time, I'll have a go a it, and see what I can figure out. Haha, your questions are always welcome - just fire away! Haha! Hmm, I've actually not tried that.. re-amping.. So I can't really comment on that, sorry.. But I seem to remember, having read it somewhere, that the GT-1 can't re-amp... Maybe.. But as you mentioned earlier, double tracking, etc. can make things great, and sound fuller. Even just duplicating the patch, can have its benefits. I've done that sometimes, and it seems to up the volume as well. Let me know if you need anything else, I'd be happy to help out. Cheers, man!
Hi there, Thanks for your comment and question, I greatly appreciate it. I haven't had any experience with the ME-80, so I can't really say... However, the GT-1 is more compact, in size, compared to the ME-80. The GT-1 has the same engine, effects, preamps, etc. as the GT-100, though there are a few features left out, on the GT-1 - and that makes sense, otherwise there wouldn't be any real difference.... In my opinion I believe you would be better set with the GT-1, just from my heavy experience with the GT-1, and what it's capable of doing. Let me know if you have any further questions, etc. All the best. Cheers.
So if I understand correctly, even the user patches are not empty, right? They are already pre -loaded with a patch, which then needs to be initialised, and then you create a new one in its place.
That's correct. The User Patches are identical to the Preset Patches, default from the factory. If you want to create your own patches, then you would have to Initialize the particular User patch. That's all. I hope this helps. Cheers.
I’m having an issue. My english is not very good so sorry in advance. Everytime I press “exit” again I lose everything I’ve done in GT1. Also, I have 3 pedals and only the one in the right with “CTL1” written in it works. If you can help me I will be grateful. Already subscribed.
Hi - sorry for the late reply. You have to save your adjustments, each time you make a change to a patch. Press both the Enter and Exit buttons, at the same time. This will open up the Write menu, and here you can save your changes. What do you mean by "only the CTL works"? Do you want the UP and DOWN footswitches to do something different? If so, what do you want them to do? Thanks. Cheers.
Hey there, Draiver. Thanks for your comment and question - I appreciate it! Yes, sure there is! 😊 If you use Boss Tone Studio, then you'll be able to save and export your patches, then save them in any particular folder on your computer. You can also organize your patches on the GT-1 itself, simply by moving them around and saving them to different spots, so they'll end up being in order, coming right after each other. Is this what you're looking for? Let me know what you think - I'd be happy to help out further. Have an excellent day Cheers.
Hi there, You can create new presets in the preset section marked with an "U". If you change a preset, and save it, then the previous patch is overwritten. If you wish to save that existing patch, then make sure to copy and save it to another location, within the "U" and that should be it. I hope this helps - if not, then please let me know.
Hey , Great tutorial man ! Im having difficulties controlling my volume when im switching between my patches. Ive made a patch for a song with a lot of overdrive and such. The next song in the set is more low key and therefore i have made a patch that matches that song. When im switching between these two patches (and all other patches in general) there is a MAJOR difference in the volume. when i turn the "patch lvl" knob to a specific level and switches back and forth it doesnt remember my setting . Hope you can help me :)
@@joachimandersen6321 - Hej Joachim! Bingo, du gættede rigtigt! 😉 Vi tager den på Dansk. Hver gang du laver en justering, hvad enten det er på effekterne, eller patch level knappen, så skal ændringerne gemmes. Det gør du ved at trykke Enter og Exit knapperne på samme tid, og derved kommer ind i Write menuen. Hvis du gør det, så vil dine ændringer i patch level blive gemt. Andre ting som du skal være opmærksom på, når det kommer til patch volume, for at have dem nogenlunde "lige" er gain og effect level. Disse parametre er stort set i alle effekt-blokkene. Gain, fra overdrive og distortion, vil automatisk tilføre følelsen af mere volume.. Derfor er det vigtigt at gain parametret justeres, sådan at, når du aktiverer effekten, så vil der ikke være en stort forskel. Derimod, hvis du er tilfreds med mængden af gain, så er det nærmere effect level parameteret du skal kigge på, da det styrer den "overall" volume for den givne effekt - for eksempel, overdrive, etc. Det er som regel en god måde at gøre det på, og det vil have en betydelig påvirkning på dine patches - til det bedre. Jeg håber dette kan hjælpe lidt - ellers så stil endelig flere spørgsmål 😉 Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Fedt , jeg har fået styr på det nu! Tusind tak for hjælpen. Har spillet guitar i en menneskealder men det er først nu pedalerne er begyndt at tiltale mig . Sikke en jungle! :)
@@joachimandersen6321 - Fantastisk - det er godt at høre! Ja, det kan være en smule overvældende til at starte med, men det komme med tiden. Du er velkommen til at vende tilbage, hvis du skulle have yderligere spørgsmål Ha' det godt 😊
hey i just have tiny question.....i saw those first 2 big square things that has arrow up and down on it....can we switch between two patches with it? like the arrow down will take you to distortion patch and the arrow up will take you to acoustic patch
Hey there, Jose Rimar Roska 😊 Thanks for your question and comment - I appreciate it! Yes, the UP and DOWN footswitches will switch through the different patches - that's their main feature. Depending on how you save your patches, and order them, you can have a distortion patch next to a clean patch, and use UP and DOWN to get to them - that's simple. A tip, though... By using the GT-1's Assigns, you can have both a clean and overdrive patch, all in ONE! Let me know if this makes sense! Cheers.
When I do exactly as you did and then press exit enter to enter the write menu only the write symbol is visible.Those other symbols that came up when you pushed exit enter do not come up on my unit.
This might be because you're on one of the Factory Presets?? You need to be on the User Presets - they are displayed with a "U". You should be able to see the same three options as me.. I hope this helps, if not, then please let me know.
I'm sorry, what? A flute? The GT-1 is a guitar multi effects processor, and not capable of creating a flute sound, or anything other than sounds for guitar. You need some sort of guitar synth pedal, or similar, to do that. I hope this makes sense.
Yes i was trying to make flute sound from gt1. Hoped to have some insights from you. There is a patch that simulates organ. I thought why not try flute.
GuitarNTabs Thanks a lot.. I learned a lot from your videos. Please make some more videos to get metal tones Of bands like Lamb of god , Metallica etc.
Hey bro idk if you will see this comment but I have a boss rc 30 loop station and I’m planning to get the boss gt 1. So i have a question about how to hook the rc 30 and the gt 1 together. Do I hook the gt 1 to the rc 30? Or is it the other way around? And if to say I start a loop (on my boss rc 30) does the loop capture the effects with it and play back the effects of the gt 1?
@ELITE GIAN - Hi there - thanks for your comment and question! 😊 Don't worry, I'll always see comments and questions, posted here on my videos. When working with a looper, you would always place the looper as the last pedal in your signal chain. So, in this case, you would have the RC-30 after the GT-1. Like this - Guitar --> GT-1 Input --> GT-1 Output --> RC-30 Input --> RC-30 Output --> Amplifier, or something similar to what you're going to use. The effects should be captured, depending on which effects are on, when recording the loop, but you should be able to activate effects as well, and get them to acts with the recorded loop 😊 The GT-1 has a total of 99 User and 99 Factory presets, so there's plenty of space. All of the 99 User presets can be edited, and you can Initialize everyone of the User presets, so that you can start completely from scratch - which is what I would recommend any-way. I hope this helps - let me know how it goes. Cheers.
@@aircraftdoctor - That's excellent! Well, the GT-1 is a true breeze to edit and program, no biggy there, to be honest. With what I know now, then I would highly recommend the GT-1, no doubt 😊 If you can, test both, and see what you like. Let me know if you need anything else! Cheers.
How do you switch one patch to another if they’re in different “ U” numbers ? One of my patch is in U1 and mother in U30. Without having to tap through all 30. How do I line them up next to each other
Hey there. Thanks for your comment and question. Actually, I already have a video on that - ruclips.net/video/E68BlbfytxY/видео.html The principles are the same, so just follow the video, and do the same things to your patch, so that you moved patch U30 to be next to patch U1. Let me know what you think. Best regards.
Hi! That's going to be hard, since I don't know a word Hindi/bengoli... Can't you follow the steps I take, and do the same on your unit? Let me know what the issue, and I'd be happy to assist. Cheers.
Hello NickBartolozzi, Thanks for your comment and question, I greatly appreciate it. The answer is no, it doesn't work that way. An actual FX Loop is needed, in order to achieve placing effects before and after the preamp. Effects that should always go before the preamp are: Compression, Wah, Overdrive, Distortion, etc. Effects that should always be placed after the preamp: Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Delay, Reverb, etc. What are you trying to achieve? Cheers.
Cheers man! I was just plying around woth some effect orders and thought this may have been the case, but my Overdrive sounds really bad and clippy when i put it before the to the right of the pre amp which is weird
You're very welcome, I'm happy to help. I see, but in this situation it's not the case.. 🎸 Overdrive, and Distortion, should always be placed before the preamp, which is to the left of the preamp icon. If it sounds weird, it might have something to do with your setup... Are you using the GT-1 with your own amp, or??
@@GuitarNTabs yeah i did find the moving the OD to the left of the pre amp was much better ! Im currently using my studio monitors (ADAM T7V) but i switch over to my Boss katana from time to time in the power amp in bypassing the preamp. Thanks again, appreciate your fast replies ! :)
Exactly, that's where you want it to be. Aah, I see, that's a great way to use the GT-1, and its onboard Preamp models. The Power Amp Input on the Katana is a great way of connection as well, for using the GT-1's preamp models. You're welcome, always feel free to ask questions! I'm ready to assist 😊
I need help. I'm not sure if I missed something, but when I do all you do (creating a new patch) and then switch to another patch and then get back to my own just created one, nothing has saved. All my settings are gone. I'm really confused...
I believe it's mentioned in the video, but you have to press both the Enter and Exit button, to access the Write menu, where you Save the patch and its settings. I hope this helps.
@@GuitarNTabs oh no. I just need a patch I can store for my pedal that is a good harmonizer. Im also very curious about your prince patch if you would like to share that
@@Brookzplayzmuzic - If the harmonizer patch isn't for something specific, then you should be able to dial in the parameters yourself, according to your desire and taste, if that makes sense. Prince patch? The Purple Rain patch? Cheers.
Hey there, Robert! This can be caused by many different things, to be honest.. One place to look would be at the guitars pickup system/EQ.. Too much volume or even EQ, can cause things to feedback... Also, make sure the settings on the GT-1 are adjusted correctly.. Things like Output Select, gain, etc. Also, make sure the GT-1's onboard preamps are turned OFF, by pressing the PREAMP button. And lastly, your own amplifier, make sure it's adjusted correctly!
Hi Marc - Merry Christmas. Each time you Initialize a patch it will overwrite the previous settings, etc., yes. However, the patch list for the User and Factory Presets are identical, so if you miss a certain patch, you can find it in the Factory Preset section, display with "P", and simply move and save it to a User Preset location. I hope this helps. Merry Christmas Cheers.
Hey there, Sebastian. Great choice going with the GT-1, you'll be glad you did, trust me! Well, the initial setup is important, so don't skip steps... I'll gladly help you, and I have a video here on RUclips about Basic setup connections.. Take a look at that one, and get back to me, with questions or issues. I'm sure you'll get used to it, just let me help you. Looking forward to hear from you. Cheers.
Hey, i just got my gt1 and i have a question is there a way to switch patches and have the effects save, like the presets So i have my patch 1 with my preamp, chorus, delay, etc. when i switch to another one and back to mine, the effects are all off again, is there a way to save that ?
Hey there! The easiest way to do this, would be to use the GT-1's onboard Assigns - where you can control and activate multiple effects, with one footswitch or more. What effects do you need, for the rest of the patch? You have your preamp, chorus and delay, but what more do you need to activate? Best regards Cheers.
Hey there 😊 The UP and DOWN buttons can indeed be changed to do something else, yes. If you press the MEMORY-EDIT button, and scroll to the very end of the signal chain, then you'll see two icons "UP" and "DOWN" - then press ENTER and now you can change the functions of those footswitches. That should be pretty straight forward. I hope this helps. Try it out and see what happens. Let me know how it goes, and if you need anything else. Have an excellent day Cheers.
You select a User Patch by scrolling through U01 through U99, using one of the knobs under the LCD. It will be displayed right under, which knob you should use. You save a Patch by pressing both the Enter and Exit button, at the same time. This enters the Write menu, where you name the patch, as well as move it to other locations. It will make sense to you, once you enter the Write menu. You use the Enter button to proceed, once in the Write menu. I hope this helps. If not, then let me know. Cheers.
I dont understand money and I have not found 1 patch that I like all I want is a heavy distortion with a screamer and a good delay all together I cant find it
You're best off creating a patch like that yourself. None of the Factory Presets are that good... Get your equipment set up properly, and make sure to select the proper Output Select and then start creating. Let me know if you need anything else.
Hi, If you go through my channel, you will see videos about how to Assign. I would recommend that you watch them, and if you need anything else, then please let me know. I hope this helps. Best regards.
The Initialize option is found in the WRITE menu. Press the ENTER and EXIT buttons, at the same time, and the WRITE menu comes up. Initialize is called "INIT" That should do it. I hope this helps.
GuitarNTabs can I ask one more really important question please you’ve been a great help, I have a fender champion 100 it comes with a foot switch please could you do a quick google check for me to see if this foot switch will work with the gt1 I’ve tried to search myself but I’m a noob so I couldn’t know for sure! Please your effort will be greatly appreciated!! Love from United Kingdom
@@alexanderforever - Hey there, again. The footswitch for the amplifier won't work with the GT-1... The amp footswitch is for switching different things on the amp, and that's all. You need to look at the Boss FS-6 or FS-7 - that will do. I would highly recommend the FS-7, it's great. I hope this helps, if not, then let me know. Thanks for getting in touch - it's much appreciated. All the best.

Hi Mark, Anything I can help you with? Stomp boxes are cool, but if you're into a compact-sized pedalboard, then the GT-1 is excellent. Happy New Year.
When you make adjustments to your patch(es) always make sure that you save the adjustments/settings. This is done by pressing both the Enter and Exit buttons, at the same time, then pressing Enter, until you see the "save successful". I hope this helps. Cheers.
I really enjoy these kind of comments, because there's NEVER a question added to it, just the frustration... If you supplied me with an actual question, I would be able, and more than happy to help you out. If you're interested in that, please let me know. Have a great day.
My love of analog just gimpy reinforced. I can’t get ANYTHING to stay programmed. I can get up to the ctl-1 but after it turns red it just stays on. Can’t toggle anything on or off or save a damn thing. It’s not worth the frustration. I could’ve built an analog preamp by the time I get these kind of ok sounding patches figured out. There needs to be a directions book. I can’t follow this guy at all.
If you asked me a regular question, then I might actually be able to assist and help you out... Your frustration doesn't really help... Let me know if you have a question.
@@GuitarNTabs Sorry, I was just getting frustrated. I’m getting the hang of it now. The biggest problem I had was figuring out which video to start with. I could already do the obvious stuff but wasn’t sure where to start when programing patches that just have effects. I don’t use the preamps or overdrives. I basically got the gt-1 for modulation,verbs,and delays. The wah wah isn’t bad either! Volume pedal is cool, too. I’m pretty sure I have a handle on programming patches,now. Thanx!
@@williambock1821 - That's alright, we've all been there, but I would love to help out, if you need anything, just let me know. Sounds good, but if you need anything, let me know. Have a great day. Cheers.
You could program an entire nights worth of tones in one freaking patch. This unit is amazing. I only bought it cuz I moved from my house into an apartment and just wanted to use headphones. What I got was everything I ever needed.

@@GuitarNTabs Well actually I have 2 questions; can I activate/deactivate and control the looper using external foot switches? And, would you recommend RC-10R or RC-5 loop pedals? Thanks again!
@@AlbertoMorales-od1gh - Hi Alberto.
Happy New Year.
Thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate it.
The Looper can only be activated by pressing the two footswitches that are set to do so, from the factory.
An external footswitch, like the Boss FS-7, can help you assign effects and parameters, but not the Looper.
I have no experience with those Loopers, but I would check each models' individual differences and then decide what unit I need.
I hope this helps.
Let me know.
Cheers.

Indeed, the GT-1 is a great piece of gear, and much can be achieved with it.

After I made changes and turned power off, everything was lost. Finally I realized the WRITE function acts as a "SAVE". After making changes one wants to keep permanently, hit EXIT and ENTER simutaneously, enter into "Write" screen. Press enter a few time to go thru the screens until the end and the "executing" message will appear briefly, and that's it! Saved for good.
It's always necessary to save your changes, and I covered that in the last part of the video.

Hello, I will receive my GT -1 in a few more days from now. I am Excited. I just want to be sure if this can be used on Violin. I use Electric violin. Nothing fancy sound but more on the jazzy, smooth sound. I hope I can see a demonstration on how to set it up for electric violin. Thank you.
Hey there, Ken 😊
Excellent, congratz on your purchase! You've made an excellent choice!
Sure, the electric violin should work just fine with the GT-1.
How will you be using the GT-1 with your electric violin?
What would the GT-1 be connected to? An amplifier, a PA/Mixer or headphones?
That would be handy to know, in order to help you get things set up correctly.
Looking forward to hear from you

Hi there, you are terrific! Great lesson. I have a question, I absolutely love my BOSS GT-1, but how do change the pitch shifter from standard tuning, to E-Flat tuning.

Great video 😁 wat is the best volume output level for the preamp?
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Hmm, I'm not sure I understand...
Are you talking the Master Output for the GT-1 or the Volume level for the PREAMP-block's volume?
Thanks.
The preamp Blocks volume.
@@joeselsbeth - Aaah, thanks for clearing that up.
Well, I tend to leave mine at 50, as default.. It seems to work well.. If I find any drop or increase in volume, when using more than one preamp type, then I will use the PREAMP's volume knob to level things out, and make it match the current model I'm using.
I hope this makes sense.
Let me know if you have further questions.
Thank you 🙏

*Hi. Can I use it as an audio interface to connect to my PC and use it for Guitar Rig?*
Hi there,
Yes, the GT-1 can be used as an Audio Interface, just connect it to your PC via USB.
A question though.. Why do you want to use the GT-1 along with Guitar Rig?? Do you want to use Guitar Rig for preamp models, or??
Because, when running two units like it, it's important to get the two set up properly. Let me know.
Cheers.
Actually I haven't used any of those devices before. So just want to try it out... And yes guitar rig for pre amps.. But let's see how that boss produces sound. But I have got only 15watt amp.. I am hoping I can still get some decent sound from that amp.
@@hitlarrajbhandari - Helo again,
The preamp models in the GT-1 I can highly recommend.
If your 15W amp doesn't have an Effects Loop, or an AUX In, or something similar, then I wouldn't recommend using the onboard preamp models... Instead I would recommend just plugging straight into the front input, like one normally would, and use the GT-1's effects instead. Problem is, you won't get good results, when running both your own amplifier and the GT-1's preamp models, and especially not if they're not connected to the proper equipment.
Let me know if you need anything else.
All the best.
The video is good.
Thank you very much, Azis! I appreciate it!

Hey man, love your tutorials, they have helped such a lot. One quick question, are fx1 and fx2 exactly the same? It appears they are with the stress on using Fx1 as a comp and fx2 for mod.
Hey there, @Paul Walker!
Thanks for the question and comment - and the kind words! 😊
Yes, FX1 and FX2 are the same - they are just placed at two different spots in the GT-1 signal chain - one for effects before the preamp and the other for effects after the preamp - as you say, FX1 for comp, for example, and FX2 for mod, etc.
You can always move them around, if you wish to use them anywhere else in the signal chain.
I hope this helps, if not, then let me know!
Have an excellent day!
Cheers.
Hey man!! Nice tutorial!!🤗 I had a question, can we switch on or off multiple effects using the same ctl 1 pedal. I don't kinda have money for extra footswitches...
Hey there.
Thanks for your comment and question.
Yes, one footswitch can have multiple effects assigned to it, so that's no problem.
For example, the onboard CTL1 footswitch can have up to 6 individual effects/parameters assigned to it.
Take a look at some of my other GT-1 videos, on my Channel - there'll be some videos about the assigns as well.
@@GuitarNTabs , wow thanks for the reply, you are a nice guy, I have to say!!! Just one question please, how does this unit perform in a live situation, Im planning to get this unit for gigs and stuff.?? How does this stand up to the mooer ge200?? Which one do you prefer for live stuff??
@@baibhabadhikari - Hey there! 😊
You're very welcome, I'm always happy to help out or answer any questions. Thanks!
The GT-1 is excellent live, really! I use it live for all my gigs, running it direct to my band's PA, using the GT-1's onboard preamps and cabinets. It all sounds great!
The Mooer GE200 is a good piece of gear, but I would still recommend the GT-1. You get more versatility with the GT-1. The effects are great, and the onboard Assigns will allow you to take control over several effects and parameters! The GT-1 is certainly the way to go 😊
The GT-1 is easy to program, set up and create patches! I'm very, very pleased with mine.
I hope this helps.
@@GuitarNTabs , thanks once again man!!! Keep rocking
@@baibhabadhikari - You are very welcome! No problem!
If you need anything else, then please let me know 😊
Thanks, and you too!
Enjoy the GT-1!

Cheers.
Great video bro! So lemme see if I understand this, for each CTL pedal you have a number of "assignable" functions you can apply. Meaning, each pedal can toggle multiple effects on or off?
@Samuel Naidu - Hey there.
Thank you for your comment and question - I appreciate it!
Thanks for the kind words as well 😊
Yes, overall...
For each patch you have a total of 6 Assigns - A1 to A6. These assigns can either Toggle or Momentarily active any of the parameters and effects within the GT-1. So yes, one assign can activate an overdrive pedal, while another assign can turn off an effects, while a third one can alter a certain parameter, etc.
Onboard the GT-1 you have the CTL1 - to that footswitch you can apply as many of the assigns as you want, and if you add an external footswitch - FS-6 or FS-7, then you can apply those 6 assigns to those extra switches as well.
Allowing you, for example, to have a clean sound to begin with, then assign some effects, changes, etc. to go to an overdriven sound and perhaps a lead sound lastly. If that makes sense.
That the overall aspect of it, yes.
So you're able to toggle multiple effects on or off, yes.
Let me know if you need anything else, I'd be happy to help out.
It can be a little daunting at first, but once you've got it, then you'll be so happy!
The possibilities are endless!
Looking forward to hear from you.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Thanks for the detailed reply. Just going through all your videos and learning to use this unit. One other question... I have an amp that doesn't have an effects loop, which means I can't get the proper sound of the GT1's amps and cabinets, the sound is getting filtered through the guitar amp. Now I'm thinking I need to get another amp, one that has an effects return. Is there a way to work around this without me having to buy another amp? Oh, one other question! I noticed when I'm editing an existing patch, for example, hold down the OD button and I can choose different types of OD/Distortion and then adjust its parameters, BUT...when I hold down the delay button, I don't see the option to choose different types of delay. Where can I choose different types of delay?
Thanks man!
@@sammydodgers121 - You are very welcome, Samuel.
It's nice to hear that you've been paying attention to the videos - you already know a lot, man!
Keep it up 👍
Well, if your amp doesn't have an FX Loop, then there's no real way to work around it.. Sadly enough..
You could use your headphones, connected to the GT-1, instead of your amp.. and use the GT-1's onboard preamps that way.
You could also buy a set of studio monitors, to work with the GT-1. I do that, and it sounds great - using the GT-1's preamps.
That's correct, for most of the effects, you are able to select what type, when in that particular effects block, but for the Delay, you would have to press MEMORY-EDIT and scroll to find the Delay block, then place the cursor over that Delay block and then you'll see an option called TYPE. This will allow you to select the type of delay you want. I don't really know why Boss did that, and not like the other effects, but that's how it is 😊
I hope this helps.
Let me know how it all goes - you're going to rock this unit in no time!
Cheers!
@@GuitarNTabs I sat for hours with this unit and managed to create some good patches for church tomorrow! (actually church in 3 hours, I've been up all night! haha). Anyway, I found a way to change delay type without going into MEMORY-EDIT, once you're in the normal delay edit screen, just hold down delay and a pop-up menu will open, then while holding down delay you can scroll through the different types of delay with the left knob. You have to scroll quickly though coz the pop-up menu disappears after a few seconds if you don't scroll. So yeah, thanks for all the helpful videos man, you got me started on this unit. I'm sure there's much more to learn!
@@sammydodgers121 - Haha, wow! You are persistent - that's good! 😊
Oh wow, that's cool! I don't think I knew that - excellent!
You are more than welcome, Samuel - I'm happy to help out.
Yes, there's always more to learn, and that's the great thing!
Let me know if you need anything else, I'd be happy to help out still.

HI , Your videos helped a lot.Just bought a GT-1. For some reason, i could not delete the characters in a patch name while renaming the patch. You are supposed to do it with the EDIT button. But that did not do it in my case. Is there something wrong with my GT-1?
Hey there, Anis.
Thanks, I appreciate your kind words!
Hmm, that seems strange.. You could try this.. Press both the Enter and Exit buttons, and select the INIT-icon. That will erase the whole patch, allowing your to start from scratch. That might help with the problem you have.. It might just be a slight glitch for some reason.
Cheers.
Can you tell us what happens to the original patch you used to create the new patch? Is the "Natural Clean" patch still there as well or does your new one replace the one you started with?
I think when doing these tutorials, one should always cater to the complete newbie and be sure to explain everything thoroughly... But thx for your video, every little bit helps
Hi there, Ray.
Whenever you adjust and/or alter an existing User Patch, the previous settings will be overwritten, unless you don't save the changes made.
Thank you, I will take that into account, but, a little experimentation should be left for the new user, so they learn and discover.
Thanks for watching, I appreciate.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
All the best.
Sorry but I got lost at almost every step of this video - can you recommend a howto that explains the GT-1 for beginners? To understand assignment of controls to effects one needs to know what controls are available and how assignment is done - I can't see the logic of how Boss have implemented this. Thanks so much.
Hi,
If you go through my channel you can find a 3 part series of all you need to know about Assigns. I would recommend that you check those out 😊
How do I get a good 80's or modern metal tone with the Boss GT-1 and using my Marshall DSL40CR amp? Im having trouble getting a nice metal tone. Also do I hook the GT1 in the back of the FX loop on the back of the amp or in the front and turn pre-amp off?
Hi there, Louis.
Thanks for the comment and question.
How you connect the GT-1 to your amp is up to you. It depends on which part of your setup you want to use - whether it's your Marshall amp or the GT-1's preamp models.
I've heard good things about the DSL40CR so maybe you should try that first, by connecting the GT-1 to the input of your amp. Make sure to turn OFF the GT-1's preamp-button.
Also, make sure to set the Output Select to Combo Amp. Then it's a matter of getting your Marshall dialed in, to sound the way you want it to - and then add the desired effects from the GT-1.
If you connect through the Marshall's Effects Loop Return, then you're going to use the GT-1's onboard preamp models. Make sure to set the Output Select to Combo Amp Return and activate the preamp-button, and choose a desired preamp model.
You could try the 5150 DRV or BGNR UB models, perhaps add an overdrive or distortion from the OD/DS section.
Let me know what you think.
All the best.
I run mine(DSL1) directly into the effects return and it kills! Allows me to dial in those COSM preamps to perfection. I've tried every output setting,all create distinct options, but line out/headphones works best for me with a single 12" Celestion cab. Also sounds great as just an effects unit ran through the fx loop, using dirt and wah on a pedal board in front of amp. Hella kit for recording all kinds of guitar tones & textures.
@@stingylizard - Exactly, Ken! There are plenty of options, and they're all very useful!
I'm still very pleased with mine, that's for sure!
All the best.
Also, don't forget to turn off cab sims if going into a real amp. For some reason my gt100 has them turned on by default. Cab sims are only good if you're going into frfr speaker.
Is it also possible to program the tree blue knobs as different sounds?
Hi there, Dyno Pascal.
Thanks for your comment and question, I appreciate it.
The 3 blue footswitches can not be set up to recall individual patches or sounds, no. However, if you want a patch with multiple tones/sounds, then you can easily do that.
You do this by using the GT-1's Assigns. With those you can start out with a clean sound, then to an overdriven/distorted sound and lastly to a lead sound.
I have several videos about this, here on my Channel, so check out these links:
Boss GT-1 ALL In ONE Patch | Clean | OD/DS | Lead | Tutorial
ruclips.net/video/zWwzN0CgA9w/видео.html
If you want to understand the Assigns, and its functions, then have a look at my 3 part Assign series:

How do you switch through and to specific effects quickly in a live setting?
Hi,
Thanks for your comment and question.
Are you talking about adjusting effect settings while playing live, or are you talking about switching to different patches, when playing live?
Or, are you talking about switching to different effects, using one of the footswitches, while playing live? For example from a clean sound to an overdriven sound?
Let me know, and I'd be able to assist further.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs the last example. Usually there are multiple stomp buttons to quickly go to that effect, but this seems different.
A little confused about the switching to solo mode. During a performance, how would you switch from a clean setting to distorted for a solo?
Hello Paul.
Thanks for your comment and question, I appreciaet it.
You would set up a patch so that you start with a clean sound, then use the GT-1's assign feature, to set up an overdrive/distortion pedal to be activated, or switching between preamp models, and then another assign can activate the Solo mode for the overdrive or distortion, depending on what you need.
I hope this helps.
If not, then please let me know.
All the best.
How about setting up without external footswitch
Jimmy Mac Here again, This tutorial explains how to use the control and assign features but doesn't go into how to create and save a new patch from scratch. What is the name of your tutorial that does that for an novice like me? Assume I'm starting from a blank userpach, Thanks
Hello there, Jimmy!
Thanks for your comment and question.
You might be right, the tutorial is missing a few things.. That's why I'm starting to re-do my later videos. This will be one of them. I will start completely from scratch, with sound samples, and show how to create a patch. I'm working at the moment, the next few days, but then I will see if I can get things recorded and finished.
I hope that's okay, but in the mean time, let me know if there's anything specific you would like me to add to the video.
Thanks again.

@@GuitarNTabs Actually, Boss should pay you to make these videos. I'm spending a great deal of time watching them. Their manuals are pretty poor. I figured out how to create and store a patch. I hope with all this work I can get some good patches out of it. There are way to many metal pre sets. Up until now I've used the Digitech RP-255 Great size for what it does. not bad sounds , the simplest unit to use and program but looking for variety of better sounds but it has to be small to fit on my board. I'm not sure when everything is turned off it is truly by passed. Your videos have saved me hours of frustration and headaches. Thanks for dong them again.
@@koolkat808hawaii - Thank you, that's kind of you to say. Honestly, I really wouldn't min that... Just waiting for the opportunity!
Thank you for watching, it means a lot to me, and I'm pleased to hear that my videos are of value.
True, the Owner's Manual is just "surface" stuff...
Nice, well done! I'm sure you will.
Well, the GT-1 is the right choice, trust me. I've used mine live, for rehearsals and for recording at home, and it's just excellent!
Hmm, I don't know, honestly.. It's probably as "bypassed" as you can get it.
Thank you, that's nice to hear.
Please let me know if you need anything, your support is greatly appreciated.

Can you use the GT-1 to control a DAW via MIDI USB using CC messages??
Hey there.
Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it.
To be honest, I actually don't fully know, but my best thought would be no...
Given that the GT-1 doesn't have any MIDI I/Os, and no CC messages, then to me it wouldn't be possible.
I hope this answers your question.

Hi. I've just subscribed to your channel. Very good video and well explained. Great. I'm trying to find an accurate patch to replicate the Boss Blues Driver BD2 pedal. I'm sure it must be out there somewhere, but cannot find it. Could you help with this by any chance? I'm trying to avoid paying for a BD2 when I have the GT-1. Many thanks, and keep up the good work!
Hello there, Michael.
Sorry for the late reply...
The BD2 should be the same as the BLUES OD, in the GT-1's OD/DS section.
This is what the Parameter Guide says about the BLUES OD:
"This is a crunch sound of the BOSS BD-2.
This produces distortion that faithfully reproduces the
nuances of picking"
I hope this helps.
Cheers.
Once I have created the effect I like, how do I save it? Thanks!
You save a patch by pressing the ENTER and EXIT buttons, at the same time, and this will take you into the WRITE-menu, where you can save your patch. I hope this makes sense.
I have a tutorial video for this - link here:
ruclips.net/video/YgzM8fr8Lyo/видео.html
Let me know what you think.
Best regards.
I have a question so is there anyway I could just like go on the natural clean setting and just choose the OD/DS setting and keep it saved?
Hi there.
I'm sorry for my late reply, I've been behind on answering comments...
Sure, that's no problem.
You simply set up your patch with the Natural Clean preamp, then add the overdrive from the OD/DS block, then press both Enter and Exit at the same time, and then you use Enter to navigate through the Write Menu.
I hope this helps.
Cheers.
If I bought a boss katana mk2 100 combo amp and I all ready have the boss gt 1 pedal can I use te amplifiers in the boss gt 1 in to the katana
Hi Darrell,
Thanks for your comment and question, I appreciate it it.
Yes, the Katana 100 mk2 has the "Power Amp In", so you connect the left output from the GT-1 to that. And you will be able to use the GT-1's preamp models.
The Power Amp In acts like the Effects Loop Return does, but Boss went the extra mile, and specifically designed the Power Amp In to work with modellers.
Make sure to set the Output Select to Combo Amp. Or, have a look in the Manual for both the GT-1 and Katana.
I hope this helps.
Otherwise, let me know.
All the best.
Thanks for the help it works so cool
Excellent, I'm pleased to hear that!
Enjoy, and please let me know if you need anything else.

How would I hook up a microphone to my boss katana 100 mk2 combo
Hi mate , great videos. Very clean and useful. So i picked one of these up the other day , just getting used to it. Now i know i could figure this out for myself but im too lazy man. Could you tell me how i can create a bass tone patch for my guitar. Ive been lightly messing around with the octave and pitch shifter mods but i just doest sound that clean and crisp . I used to use an amplifi fx100 and had a really good one on there. Any help would be appreciated. take it easy my guy.
@Darren Mackie - Hey there.
Thank you for your comment and question - I appreciate it!
The GT-1 is excellent, and I really dig mine, that's for sure!
Haha, we all get a little lazy sometimes 😉
Funny, I've been asked this before, so yes, I will definitely look in to it!
I'm sure the GT-1 can get close, but of course it will never sound the same as an actual bass, and the crisp feeling might not translate that well.. Again, it's not a real bass, but I'm sure we can get close.
I'll look in to it, for sure.
Let me know if you need anything else, I'd be happy to help out!
P.S. - how have you connected the GT-1 to your gear?
Do you use it with your own amp, or?
Thanks
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Hi , thanks for your reply , i got a somewhat decent tone after messing around with it a little.
I have another question if you could help.
Im using the gt-1 to record in garageband on my mac. When im tracking , the volume seems fine coming through my headphones but when i record something its much weaker on the actual recording. Ihave my guitar plugged into the unit , a usb connecting it to my mac with garageband opened and the preferences input/output set to the gt1. Are there any other settings i need to change on the computer. The guitar tone seems really full and thick and loud whilst im playing , but as soon as listen to it back its weak , flat and quiet sounding, more than you'de expect it to be. Any ideas? cheers.
@@darrenmackie7390 - Hey there 😊
Nice, that's good! So you got a hold of it, or? The bass patch?
Excellent question, really! This happens because the GT-1's input, coming into the PC/Mac, isn't quite matched to the output, after being recorded. I generally tend to just record the section I'm playing, and then adjust the output of that particular channel afterwards, when I go to export it or mix it. That seems to be the best solution.
Also, you have the option to adjust some USB-settings, on the GT-1 itself - if you press the MENU-button. If you scroll to the end, almost, you'll see an icon called USB. Try entering that, and see what the adjustments say. In the GT-1 Manual you can find the terms and explanation of those parameters. Right off the bat I can't remember, sorry. But it's all in the Manual 😊
Try those two things out, and then let me know what happens, okay?
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Hi mate thanks for the reply again , yeh i just messed around with the eq etc. still a bit dodgy on the low end.
So i maxed out the patch level and the output and also the mix level in the usb section (not really sure what that actually does) seemed to have improved it. Its been a while since ive recorded anything so i forgot the benefits of double (or even triple) tracking my parts. Still quite low when i export it out of the daw to have a listen through some good speakers but i can just sort that out in post prod i guess.
Okay so one more question my guy then i'll leave you alone lolol. I read somewhere before i bought this thing that its possible to re amp in a daw , im really not savvy to all the jargon (which is why i really like channels like yours) but i dont even know where to start , or if its even possible and i just read it wrong. You know anything about that? Ta
@@darrenmackie7390 - Hey again.
Sorry, but for some reason RUclips decided that your reply was spam.. Hate when that happens..
Anyway, it's sorted out now..
Excellent, I'm glad that you came close... But still, the low end will probably always lack.. given it's not a real bass.. I found the same thing, when messing around with it.. It could get close, but not all the way.
Okay, so it helped a little, regarding the recording aspect.. I can't remember the overall features for the USB settings, but they can be found in the Owner's Manual. They are explained fairly well, actually 😊
But yes, I suppose most of it, regarding the level, would have to be corrected post prod. When I record next time, I'll have a go a it, and see what I can figure out.
Haha, your questions are always welcome - just fire away! Haha!
Hmm, I've actually not tried that.. re-amping.. So I can't really comment on that, sorry.. But I seem to remember, having read it somewhere, that the GT-1 can't re-amp... Maybe.. But as you mentioned earlier, double tracking, etc. can make things great, and sound fuller. Even just duplicating the patch, can have its benefits. I've done that sometimes, and it seems to up the volume as well.
Let me know if you need anything else, I'd be happy to help out.
Cheers, man!
Hi and apologies for the unrelated question, but how do you find this pedal to be when compared to the M80 - in terms of sound quality primarily.
Hi there,
Thanks for your comment and question, I greatly appreciate it.
I haven't had any experience with the ME-80, so I can't really say... However, the GT-1 is more compact, in size, compared to the ME-80. The GT-1 has the same engine, effects, preamps, etc. as the GT-100, though there are a few features left out, on the GT-1 - and that makes sense, otherwise there wouldn't be any real difference....
In my opinion I believe you would be better set with the GT-1, just from my heavy experience with the GT-1, and what it's capable of doing.
Let me know if you have any further questions, etc.
All the best.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Great. I am also leaning towards the GT1 right now, which oddly enough, is cheaper than the M80. Thanks!
@@accentontheoff - I'm sure you will find the GT-1 suitable for your needs.
@@GuitarNTabs Yes I have decided. Thanks.
So if I understand correctly, even the user patches are not empty, right? They are already pre -loaded with a patch, which then needs to be initialised, and then you create a new one in its place.
That's correct. The User Patches are identical to the Preset Patches, default from the factory. If you want to create your own patches, then you would have to Initialize the particular User patch. That's all.
I hope this helps.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs Got it thanks!
I’m having an issue. My english is not very good so sorry in advance. Everytime I press “exit” again I lose everything I’ve done in GT1. Also, I have 3 pedals and only the one in the right with “CTL1” written in it works. If you can help me I will be grateful. Already subscribed.
Hi - sorry for the late reply.
You have to save your adjustments, each time you make a change to a patch.
Press both the Enter and Exit buttons, at the same time. This will open up the Write menu, and here you can save your changes.
What do you mean by "only the CTL works"? Do you want the UP and DOWN footswitches to do something different? If so, what do you want them to do?
Thanks.
Cheers.
Is there any way to organize those patches in a folder or something? Like if i want to use them for a song, can i create a folder (or anything else)?
Hey there, Draiver.
Thanks for your comment and question - I appreciate it!
Yes, sure there is! 😊
If you use Boss Tone Studio, then you'll be able to save and export your patches, then save them in any particular folder on your computer.
You can also organize your patches on the GT-1 itself, simply by moving them around and saving them to different spots, so they'll end up being in order, coming right after each other.
Is this what you're looking for?
Let me know what you think - I'd be happy to help out further.
Have an excellent day
Cheers.
Hi what software do you record with
can you create a new patch without deleting a preset?
Hi there,
You can create new presets in the preset section marked with an "U".
If you change a preset, and save it, then the previous patch is overwritten. If you wish to save that existing patch, then make sure to copy and save it to another location, within the "U" and that should be it.
I hope this helps - if not, then please let me know.
Hey , Great tutorial man !
Im having difficulties controlling my volume when im switching between my patches. Ive made a patch for a song with a lot of overdrive and such. The next song in the set is more low key and therefore i have made a patch that matches that song. When im switching between these two patches (and all other patches in general) there is a MAJOR difference in the volume. when i turn the "patch lvl" knob to a specific level and switches back and forth it doesnt remember my setting .
Hope you can help me :)
@@joachimandersen6321 - Hej Joachim!
Bingo, du gættede rigtigt! 😉 Vi tager den på Dansk.
Hver gang du laver en justering, hvad enten det er på effekterne, eller patch level knappen, så skal ændringerne gemmes. Det gør du ved at trykke Enter og Exit knapperne på samme tid, og derved kommer ind i Write menuen. Hvis du gør det, så vil dine ændringer i patch level blive gemt.
Andre ting som du skal være opmærksom på, når det kommer til patch volume, for at have dem nogenlunde "lige" er gain og effect level. Disse parametre er stort set i alle effekt-blokkene. Gain, fra overdrive og distortion, vil automatisk tilføre følelsen af mere volume.. Derfor er det vigtigt at gain parametret justeres, sådan at, når du aktiverer effekten, så vil der ikke være en stort forskel. Derimod, hvis du er tilfreds med mængden af gain, så er det nærmere effect level parameteret du skal kigge på, da det styrer den "overall" volume for den givne effekt - for eksempel, overdrive, etc.
Det er som regel en god måde at gøre det på, og det vil have en betydelig påvirkning på dine patches - til det bedre.
Jeg håber dette kan hjælpe lidt - ellers så stil endelig flere spørgsmål 😉
Cheers.

hey i just have tiny question.....i saw those first 2 big square things that has arrow up and down on it....can we switch between two patches with it? like the arrow down will take you to distortion patch and the arrow up will take you to acoustic patch
Hey there, Jose Rimar Roska 😊
Thanks for your question and comment - I appreciate it!
Yes, the UP and DOWN footswitches will switch through the different patches - that's their main feature.
Depending on how you save your patches, and order them, you can have a distortion patch next to a clean patch, and use UP and DOWN to get to them - that's simple.
A tip, though... By using the GT-1's Assigns, you can have both a clean and overdrive patch, all in ONE!
Let me know if this makes sense!

When I do exactly as you did and then press exit enter to enter the write menu only the write symbol is visible.Those other symbols that came up when you pushed exit enter do not come up on my unit.

Please make a tutorial on how to make flute sound from gt1.
I'm sorry, what? A flute?
The GT-1 is a guitar multi effects processor, and not capable of creating a flute sound, or anything other than sounds for guitar.
You need some sort of guitar synth pedal, or similar, to do that.

Do I hook the gt 1 to the rc 30? Or is it the other way around? And if to say I start a loop (on my boss rc 30) does the loop capture the effects with it and play back the effects of the gt 1?
@ELITE GIAN - Hi there - thanks for your comment and question! 😊
Don't worry, I'll always see comments and questions, posted here on my videos.
When working with a looper, you would always place the looper as the last pedal in your signal chain. So, in this case, you would have the RC-30 after the GT-1.
Like this - Guitar --> GT-1 Input --> GT-1 Output --> RC-30 Input --> RC-30 Output --> Amplifier, or something similar to what you're going to use.
The effects should be captured, depending on which effects are on, when recording the loop, but you should be able to activate effects as well, and get them to acts with the recorded loop 😊
The GT-1 has a total of 99 User and 99 Factory presets, so there's plenty of space.
All of the 99 User presets can be edited, and you can Initialize everyone of the User presets, so that you can start completely from scratch - which is what I would recommend any-way.
I hope this helps - let me know how it goes.
Cheers.
@@aircraftdoctor - No problem at all!
Let me know if you need anything else!
I'm always ready to help out!
Have an excellent day!
@@aircraftdoctor - That's excellent! Well, the GT-1 is a true breeze to edit and program, no biggy there, to be honest.
With what I know now, then I would highly recommend the GT-1, no doubt 😊
If you can, test both, and see what you like.
Let me know if you need anything else!
Cheers.
How do you switch one patch to another if they’re in different “ U” numbers ? One of my patch is in U1 and mother in U30. Without having to tap through all 30. How do I line them up next to each other
Hey there.
Thanks for your comment and question.
Actually, I already have a video on that - ruclips.net/video/E68BlbfytxY/видео.html
The principles are the same, so just follow the video, and do the same things to your patch, so that you moved patch U30 to be next to patch U1.
Let me know what you think.
Best regards.
Please can you help us with worship patches...
Hmm, what exactly are we talking here, I'm not that familiar with worship patches...
Cheers.
Please explain the same in Hindi/bengoli launguage that I can operate my GT-1.
Hi!
That's going to be hard, since I don't know a word Hindi/bengoli...
Can't you follow the steps I take, and do the same on your unit?
Let me know what the issue, and I'd be happy to assist.
Cheers.
Hey ! If i put effects before the pre amp on the boss gt1 does this act as an fx loop? Like send and returning it?
Hello NickBartolozzi,
Thanks for your comment and question, I greatly appreciate it.
The answer is no, it doesn't work that way. An actual FX Loop is needed, in order to achieve placing effects before and after the preamp.
Effects that should always go before the preamp are:
Compression, Wah, Overdrive, Distortion, etc.
Effects that should always be placed after the preamp:
Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Delay, Reverb, etc.
What are you trying to achieve?
Cheers.
Cheers man! I was just plying around woth some effect orders and thought this may have been the case, but my Overdrive sounds really bad and clippy when i put it before the to the right of the pre amp which is weird
You're very welcome, I'm happy to help. I see, but in this situation it's not the case.. 🎸
Overdrive, and Distortion, should always be placed before the preamp, which is to the left of the preamp icon.
If it sounds weird, it might have something to do with your setup... Are you using the GT-1 with your own amp, or??
@@GuitarNTabs yeah i did find the moving the OD to the left of the pre amp was much better ! Im currently using my studio monitors (ADAM T7V) but i switch over to my Boss katana from time to time in the power amp in bypassing the preamp. Thanks again, appreciate your fast replies ! :)
Exactly, that's where you want it to be.
Aah, I see, that's a great way to use the GT-1, and its onboard Preamp models.
The Power Amp Input on the Katana is a great way of connection as well, for using the GT-1's preamp models.
You're welcome, always feel free to ask questions! I'm ready to assist 😊
I need help. I'm not sure if I missed something, but when I do all you do (creating a new patch) and then switch to another patch and then get back to my own just created one, nothing has saved. All my settings are gone. I'm really confused...
I believe it's mentioned in the video, but you have to press both the Enter and Exit button, to access the Write menu, where you Save the patch and its settings.
I hope this helps.
Helped, thanks man.
Cheers, I'm glad to hear that!
Can u show me for gt1b
Initially it should very much be the same, since the layout and such are pretty identical.
What are you looking for? Anything in particular?
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs i need like a good harmonizing patch...
@@Brookzplayzmuzic - Aha, I see. In what Key and BPM? Is it for a cover song, or?
@@GuitarNTabs oh no. I just need a patch I can store for my pedal that is a good harmonizer. Im also very curious about your prince patch if you would like to share that
@@Brookzplayzmuzic - If the harmonizer patch isn't for something specific, then you should be able to dial in the parameters yourself, according to your desire and taste, if that makes sense.
Prince patch? The Purple Rain patch?
Cheers.
So to save a patch all you do is name it?
Naming the patch is part of saving it - called "Write" in the GT-1 - so yes.
I hope this helps.
That was soo confusing.I just got my GT 1 today and when i plug my acoustic to my amp with the gt1 i get a ton of feedback.Why is this?
Hey there, Robert!
This can be caused by many different things, to be honest.. One place to look would be at the guitars pickup system/EQ.. Too much volume or even EQ, can cause things to feedback... Also, make sure the settings on the GT-1 are adjusted correctly.. Things like Output Select, gain, etc. Also, make sure the GT-1's onboard preamps are turned OFF, by pressing the PREAMP button. And lastly, your own amplifier, make sure it's adjusted correctly!
doesn't this overwrite the patch that came with the unit. how do you create your own user patch
Hi Marc - Merry Christmas.
Each time you Initialize a patch it will overwrite the previous settings, etc., yes. However, the patch list for the User and Factory Presets are identical, so if you miss a certain patch, you can find it in the Factory Preset section, display with "P", and simply move and save it to a User Preset location.
I hope this helps.
Merry Christmas
Cheers.
I got my gt1 yesterday .. my head spin 360 to setup gt1 .. ghosss ... Its difficult from boss me25 ...
Hey there, Sebastian.
Great choice going with the GT-1, you'll be glad you did, trust me!
Well, the initial setup is important, so don't skip steps... I'll gladly help you, and I have a video here on RUclips about Basic setup connections.. Take a look at that one, and get back to me, with questions or issues.
I'm sure you'll get used to it, just let me help you.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs TQ mate ..
@@sebastianovett7175 - Anytime, just let me know!
Happy hunting 🎸
Hey, i just got my gt1 and i have a question
is there a way to switch patches and have the effects save, like the presets
So i have my patch 1 with my preamp, chorus, delay, etc. when i switch to another one and back to mine, the effects are all off again, is there a way to save that ?
Hey there!
The easiest way to do this, would be to use the GT-1's onboard Assigns - where you can control and activate multiple effects, with one footswitch or more.
What effects do you need, for the rest of the patch? You have your preamp, chorus and delay, but what more do you need to activate?
Best regards
Cheers.
how do i get a eb tuning?
Sadly I do not have a video on this topic, but try a quick search here on RUclips, and I'm sure you can fimd something.
All the best.
Can't get that fx2 thing right.
Hey there, Jacob.
What's the issue, please let me know, I'd be happy to assist.
Looking forward to your reply.
@@GuitarNTabs it's sorted now, thanks.
How to factory reset?
Check the Owner's Manual from Boss' webpage, it will be in there.
is it possible to reassign up\down button to ctl switch?
Hey there 😊
The UP and DOWN buttons can indeed be changed to do something else, yes.
If you press the MEMORY-EDIT button, and scroll to the very end of the signal chain, then you'll see two icons "UP" and "DOWN" - then press ENTER and now you can change the functions of those footswitches.
That should be pretty straight forward.
I hope this helps.
Try it out and see what happens.
Let me know how it goes, and if you need anything else.
Have an excellent day
Cheers.
OK so you forgot to tell us how to select a user patch in the first place which video is that link on?
How do you save it to a user location on mine it’s a patch V03 and you have it on v 50 how?????
You select a User Patch by scrolling through U01 through U99, using one of the knobs under the LCD. It will be displayed right under, which knob you should use.
You save a Patch by pressing both the Enter and Exit button, at the same time. This enters the Write menu, where you name the patch, as well as move it to other locations. It will make sense to you, once you enter the Write menu. You use the Enter button to proceed, once in the Write menu.
I hope this helps.
If not, then let me know.
Cheers.
I dont understand money and I have not found 1 patch that I like all I want is a heavy distortion with a screamer and a good delay all together I cant find it
You're best off creating a patch like that yourself. None of the Factory Presets are that good...
Get your equipment set up properly, and make sure to select the proper Output Select and then start creating.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Can anyone help me out? How can i use ctl 2 and ctl 3 togglesm
Hi,
If you go through my channel, you will see videos about how to Assign.
I would recommend that you watch them, and if you need anything else, then please let me know.
I hope this helps.
Best regards.
There’s no initialise please help dude
The Initialize option is found in the WRITE menu. Press the ENTER and EXIT buttons, at the same time, and the WRITE menu comes up. Initialize is called "INIT"
That should do it.
I hope this helps.
GuitarNTabs can I ask one more really important question please you’ve been a great help, I have a fender champion 100 it comes with a foot switch please could you do a quick google check for me to see if this foot switch will work with the gt1 I’ve tried to search myself but I’m a noob so I couldn’t know for sure! Please your effort will be greatly appreciated!! Love from United Kingdom
@@alexanderforever - Hey there, again.
The footswitch for the amplifier won't work with the GT-1... The amp footswitch is for switching different things on the amp, and that's all. You need to look at the Boss FS-6 or FS-7 - that will do. I would highly recommend the FS-7, it's great.
I hope this helps, if not, then let me know.
Thanks for getting in touch - it's much appreciated.
All the best.
I had hard time to setup for gigs🥵
Hello, Limmy.
Tell me a little more about it, then I'll be able to assist properly.
What's the issue(s), and what are you trying to achieve?
Looking forward to your reply.
Cheers.
please next time make the screen bigger so we can see what knobs you turning cause we cant see
Thanks, I will try to make that possible. But, if you're in doubt, then just ask me, and I'll be happy to assist you.
Have a great day.
Cheers.
@@GuitarNTabs you video helped me. Alot.. Busy jamming. Now with my biss gt 1...this is insane quality

Is your accent Danish or Swedish?
Hey Caleb!
My accent is Danish 😊
I can't hide that, hehe..
What's up?
Cheers 🍻
GuitarNTabs
I couldn’t tell whether it was Danish or Swedish here as a Danish American haha. I’m guessing Jutland? Your English is perfect by the way! Much better than my Danish. Thanks for the great content, keep it up!
@@calebjorgensen1355 - Hey again, Caleb! 😊
Aha, I see! So you moved to Denmark, from the States, or?
Exactly, Jutland it is!
Thanks for the kind words - very much appreciated!
I'll be sure to keep it up, Caleb!
Cheers.
GuitarNTabs
My grandparents and family moved to America from Sorø and Bornholm before I was born. My dad married an American and I came along haha. I regret not caring to properly learn Danish because I’ve come to appreciate the language. There’s a fun sarcasm that it allows ;) Cheers from Michigan.
@@calebjorgensen1355 - Hey!
Aha, I see, Caleb 😊
Haha, true, I see what you mean!
All the best from Denmark, Caleb.
Let me know if you need anything.
Have a great sunday!
I can't save patch i want
Make sure you're on the User side of the patches. If you're on the P-side, you're not able to save the adjustments...
?.. wait.. what ? Glad I didn’t get rid of my stomp boxes .
Hi Mark,
Anything I can help you with?
Stomp boxes are cool, but if you're into a compact-sized pedalboard, then the GT-1 is excellent.
Happy New Year.
Why aren’t my settings saving? So annoyed 🥴
When you make adjustments to your patch(es) always make sure that you save the adjustments/settings.
This is done by pressing both the Enter and Exit buttons, at the same time, then pressing Enter, until you see the "save successful".
I hope this helps.
Cheers.
Make blue driver db2 and let me know how.
Well, that shouldn't be hard.. Check out the Blues OD in the OD/DS section - that should get you there.
Ok I'll check.
@@GuitarNTabs 😁👍
What did he say.?? I just don't get it.. Maybe I need a 12 year old kid to help me out..
I really enjoy these kind of comments, because there's NEVER a question added to it, just the frustration...
If you supplied me with an actual question, I would be able, and more than happy to help you out.
If you're interested in that, please let me know.
Have a great day.
My love of analog just gimpy reinforced. I can’t get ANYTHING to stay programmed. I can get up to the ctl-1 but after it turns red it just stays on. Can’t toggle anything on or off or save a damn thing. It’s not worth the frustration. I could’ve built an analog preamp by the time I get these kind of ok sounding patches figured out. There needs to be a directions book. I can’t follow this guy at all.
If you asked me a regular question, then I might actually be able to assist and help you out... Your frustration doesn't really help...
Let me know if you have a question.
@@GuitarNTabs Sorry, I was just getting frustrated. I’m getting the hang of it now. The biggest problem I had was figuring out which video to start with. I could already do the obvious stuff but wasn’t sure where to start when programing patches that just have effects. I don’t use the preamps or overdrives. I basically got the gt-1 for modulation,verbs,and delays. The wah wah isn’t bad either! Volume pedal is cool, too. I’m pretty sure I have a handle on programming patches,now. Thanx!
@@williambock1821 - That's alright, we've all been there, but I would love to help out, if you need anything, just let me know.
Sounds good, but if you need anything, let me know.
Have a great day.

Gt1 for sell! Its a pain .... thx anyway
I don't know why, but when I press "exit" + "enter" button, it only shows write and no initialize. Any chance you know what's going on with mine? 🥹
did you figure it out? I have same problem
@@HRRN-gh3wj I sold the unit months ago, sorry mate.
@@juweee_yt rip no worries. cheers for responding
