Boss' modelling guys must have been receiving a lot of their R&D attention over the past few years. The Katana series, the Nextone, then the Tube-Amp Expander (on my bucket list of gear) and the GT-1000. They keep raising the bar. Nice review.
Great vid! Got the GT1K about a month ago. Created over 100 patches as a liveset and run it through my AC30 and Orange TL. AWESOME TONES!!! Now got sell my peddle board and effects on Reverb! The reduction in weight transport to gigs is tremendous. IMHO… this beats helix
Thanks again for your vids Leon!
Here's some things I'd like to know about:
1. Please try to verbalize how the patches "feel" to play in comparison to, say, an AX8? That's one thing we can't take away from the video but will be the deciding factor in many cases.
2. Preset/Patch management. Can it be used in "stomp box mode", preset mode or a combination of the two?
3. Midi capability. I'd love to know if it can be controlled in the same way as you did the AxeFXIII in your recent video.
4. 3rd party speaker IRs. Can you make it sound better than stock with these?
That's it for now!
I rented the GT-1000 for a month. Liked it so much I ended up buying it. Btw, Tera Echo is in the Reverb effect.
D'oh of course it is!
I think that you treat the GT-1000 as the next all-in-one floor pedal and the successor to the GT-100, you can't go wrong. It's nice to have all the 500 series effects in one box, along with a ton of OD and amp models, upgraded converter chips and flexible signal routing. Thanks for the demo.
I agree.
When you turned on all the effects at once it sounded like most of the Line 6 Helix presets.
You always get a nice sound out of these modelers. I really respect that! You always know how to quickly react and what to change in order to come closer to the result you are after!
Very nice demo! Quick and straight to the point!
What about trying to replicate your favourite AXFXIII presets/amp tones in the Boss ?
It would be very interesting to see how close it can get tone wise.
Keep up the good work!
Peace from 🇸🇪
Boss is such an amazing company, possibly the best in the music gear business. This very tempting but I am holding out for the Fractal FM3.
Good for you. From what I’ve seen that one might just be equally as hard to use if not more so. You’ll be very happily challenged I hope.
@@justinTime077 I got tired of waiting for the FM3 among other issues with Fractal, and went with a Kemper, which I'm VERY Happy with :)
Are you still happy with the Kemper?
Awesome, just picked up one of these a couple of weeks ago. Really digging the Premium Drive, would appreciate all the hints and tips you can share to make this even better. BTW, love you videos dude.!
Damn, pretty impressive. I started out playing a Boss GT-8 back in '05. They've gone a long way since then.
After trying gt100 and then gt1000 i turned back to GT8 : best machine ever!
Really good video. I bought one of these when it first came out. Since then it's had lots of free boss updates, which is good.
I use it in a 5 cable setup, so it switches the channels on my amp and I can still have effects pre and post... Which is great.
Like you, I have struggled to get a great sound from the high gain (including recto) and this is something that boss has to sort.
I'm looking forward to more of your videos.
Would that work with a dual rectifier?
@@rocketPower047 I can't see what not. I use it with a 5150 and an Egnator tweaker. They change channels in different ways and both have FX loop switches.
@@voltnerstudios2115 cool thanks. I have a GT-1, as a quick and dirty alternative to my pedalboard, but it's basically a toy. GT1000 seems like a good value and maybe less risky than GE-300
The build quality on this is A grade, would not hesitate to take it to a gig.
@@LeonTodd I agree. I've owned loads of boss and other brands over the years. Boss products are as tough as they come and this is no different.
Also, it's really versatile. It's got a pedal board mode which I use for jams straight into a PA.
Love my GT. Vid went exactly as expected.
Gain switch in the amp block is a basic but excellent additional amp control that is very useful. Also, to change cab types; select the speaker icon in the output you want to work with then select output type to "Recording". You can then change the speaker type to 2x12, 4x12 or whatever. You can load 4 of your own IRs, but I have had zero luck with getting any better results than the built in cab options. The original cabs suck, imo.
The X series preamps are for me the best in the unit. X-modded is great. Really all the X stuff is great. For heavy stuff; the Uber can be good. The Recto just straight up sucks, imo. The Juggernaut can be good as well. I do enjoy the Brit Stack after spending some time with it too.
it's hard to make the X-Amps sound bad which I like!
The "feel" was good. Other than that I was extremely disappointed. HELIX amps sounded much better to me.
I still have a gt-6. Picked it up early 2000s. Boss seems to have been doing research on modeling for a while. The gt6 has its short comings, but they were trying to make it as good as they could back then. Good to know the 1000 is much improved.
The GT-6 had some really fun effects in it too.
I love this review!
Boas Gt-1000 is the most awesome guitar procesor, in my humble oppinion!
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘
I enjoy your demos mate, cheers.
Great videos, glad to see someone being creative and showing in depth how to achieve sounds.
Glad it was helpful!
@@LeonTodd Yes, I've been using GT6's, 10's, GtPro, Gt100 and the 1000, the 1000 however is an odd bird.
Thanks for this review. I don't think the amp tones in this is STILL at the level of the other offerings at the market, but I love the interface on this, and I look forward to the next generation, which I hope will blow me away.
Easily the best demo of the GT I’ve seen, definitely going to grab one of these.
General rule of thumb with the GT 1000 is to make sure the OUTPUT gain is set at +10 db. I run into the back of a tube combo and this tweak made a substantial difference. It's an awesome unit the best in IMAO (and I've used em all)
Awesome intro video. I'd be interested in seeing how you would adjust things right on the hardware if you're out in a live situation and need to tweak for the room, etc.
Leon, great vid, cheers.
An in-depth look at the Global EQ settings/config would be cool
I would take one of these over a Helix any day.
Hey Leon
Had to listen again
Very cool . Love that JC 120 clean. Be safe sir
Man, when you turned all of the FX blocks on, it didn't sound like anything you'd ever use, but it did sound like something that could be used by some intrepid guitarist out there!
Definitely room to create some new sounds with that
You are a great reviewer, keep it up.
Good video. This thing sounds really good to me. At least via my AKGs I use on my phone. Compared to your axeFx it sounds almost or as goid as it. The atomic sounds really good to in those vids, especially the 5150 model in the video you did entitled " dial it in " using the atomic. Great stuff. You're a wizard and force of nature sir. 😂😉
Another good video, Leon. For in depth, compare some of the amps by themselves to any of the real ones you own.
Hellouu!! Is there any cut or interrumption of reverbs and delays between presets??? Thank you!
Compared with The headrush in tone, wich one sounds more organic? Cause I still can hear that It's a digital unit in any case, even with The fractal. Thanks León! You rocks very hard.
This is boss.
GLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEB REEET ROOOO
Honesty sounds great was expecting less "amp" sounds but these sound fine IR's only make it better.How about Mooer vs Boss comparison?
U r just awesome . Really help me heaps in my setup of my gt1000. Tqvm
My pleasure!
@@LeonTodd can u do a van haven preset with the flanger n chorus n delay settings. I the juggernaut amp. M anxious to see yr take on the EVH SOUND. I Understand his tone is scooped . Would to know wat u think
I use the juggernaut amp to build mine. Wat would u preset be like
Great video, thanks! It would be cool to see an in depth hi gain demo, with comparison with helix, for example.
I had a GT-1000 for a couple of weeks and decided to return it. I use the headphones out, tweaked on it for days. The amp models just didn't sound good to me. I've tried a Helix, sounded much better!
Shirley Allen helix better than gt1000...
Fractal ax8 better than helix
Fractal ax8 can't be worth the extra cash. You could get a freaking Kemper!
Add your fave IRs and get a good Recto or 5150iii tone. Maybe try going into a real power amp return and mic a cab or try it using 4-cable method.
Cool vid. Would be most interested in you dialing in the Recto properly and also a Marshall (JTM45 pref) and a cool cleanish amp (of the F---- variety) .. :-)
At this point, I'm quite convinced you can make any unit sound great :)
Zoom 707 next
@@LeonTodd right on!
Can you please tell me why I hear the sound like there is a blanket on the speaker? Like the sound is playing from FAR!!!!!
This video helped a lot. Thank you!
Great video Leon. I've had the GT6, GT10, GT100 and about to buy the GT1000!
If you like the other GT models you'll love the 1000
@@LeonTodd Cheers Leon. I just wanted to make sure I spent my money wisely.
can you do a shoot out between different axefx 3 effects vs the gt-1000? also some comparable amp models if possible? really curious how they stack up, particularly the effects.
Great video. I have a 5150iii head and cab. Would it be possible to do 4CM and both use the GT1000 as a multi effects as well as an amp sim without the 5150 coloring the tone going through the cab?
Thanks Leon, keep up the awesome work.
You can always tell who is Playing Mesa Boogie and Who is playing Fractal on stage Those are the guys that are Always Fine Tuning their equipment with the Boss GT1000 you set it and its good to go .
If you can afford the best, you want to get the most out of it. Mesa and Fractal have continued to push boundaries.
Use the eq block to cut some frequenties , that will help alot , and what i do on my gt100, i do a dual amp setup but from the same amp, at the cab section i place one mic to sound bright and the other one to sound dark and blend those two, basicly a dual mic setup in real life
Global high/low cut at 8khz/80hz on this which is my go to with any direct sound
What would be of critical importance to me would be a direct comparison to your AX8. For me, hearing something like this in isolation-sure it sounds pretty good. But, any consumer decision is basically an X vs Y vs Z. Even an old Digitech could sound 'nice' by itself, but you really hear the differences/limitations when you put it up against something more capable and modern. // Very cool to show that the app is effective for working with the GT. I didn't like the hardware interface when i saw it at the NAMM intro. But, i also didn't want to buy an AX8, and then i found AX8Edit, and it was a godsend.
Hey mate thanks for your video. Just a question. Quality-wise (I mean the quality of effects and responses) do u prefer GT1000 or Helix LT/FX/Floor. Wich one sounds better because actually I want to use 4cm and don't have a limited budget, so I can buy either HX FX or Boss-gt1000. Based on a few videos and reviews I have decided to buy Line 6, but I know that you have tried both. So maybe you can tell me what your opinion is. Thanks.
They both sound great for different reasons IMO. The Helix hardware UI is the best in the business but there's a certain comfort with the simplicity of the BOSS effects. I'd happily gig either of them.
I've heard some people saying that it feels better than Helix, interested in your thoughts on the matter!
It would be interesting to set up a patch in the Boss and compare it to an AX8 patch with the same, or as close to the same parameters. Im interested to hear the modeling/ processing differences, how well they compare in a would-be 'live' situation. Im asking cuz, im looking at trading in my GT100 for another unit, and the AX8s just went on sale for around the same price as a GT1000. I expect the AX8 should be superior, but it would be interesting to hear some sort of A/B between them. Thanks for the vids man :)
If I can figure out a way to do it fairly I'll definitely do that. Nothing i've tried comes as close to Fractal for authentic amp modelling though.
@@LeonTodd question answered before i asked it. Thanks.
I've had both an AX8 and a GT100. Sonically, the AX8 amp models blow the GT100 away. But the GT100 works better in a 4 cable method with a real amp and switches between presets almost instantly, which the AX8 doesn't. AX8 = great for recording, GT100 = great for the stage, but use a real tube amp
I'd like to see you use a Freqout pedal with the GT-1000 and cover some Nirvana! Also use some external pedals with the GT-1000.
Sounds quite good. I would like to see a comparison between all these units, pros and cons and which one would you recommend?
Another killer video can you run two amps at the same time?
Yes you can
Hey Can we get A demo of what it would be like to use live. Like Patch change or scene change, how they work and a demo song. Switching from Clean to Distortion and then adding effect like wha. on the fly and on the floor as if we we playing a set. Love your work thanks in advanced
Sure, great suggestion.
I have an interesting question. Say you are using divider 1 to go between 2 completely different amps. If you set the speaker cab to original, does the cabinet change when you switch between the 2 amps? Is there a way to set the speaker type differently for each amp?
This is to Boss and Line6:
Can you get a Gt-1000 Core and a Pod Go, cause i really want Leon's review?!
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘🇵🇹
Hey Leon or anyone - are the GT-1000 and GT-1000core presets compatible/interchangable?
Apparently they are!
What filmware version comes with the 1000 as of 2021? Is this with worth the money? I do like the app over a computer.
Also, I've played the KATANA and NEXTONE amps and didn't care for those either. Maybe it's me... I have a GT-1 and love it, go figure.
Anyone ; Is the amp-modelling better or way better than the GT-100? Nice demo and playing
I have the GT-100. These reviews man.. It looks too good! Now I have one of these on order. Sigh
Hi! Do you think the amps (pre-amps) are better in GT.1000?
Id like to hear the different amp tones and how you would set them
Great, I intend to do a . "dial it in" vid with this.
I happen to have used the X series pedals. Starting with the DS1x, then CP1x and lately the DA-2, all the MDP algorithms. Their models in my GT1000 are nowhere near the pedals. That was my primary reason to buy the GT1k so not so happy. Also, the parametric EQ frequency setting is quantized, so you can't set it to 1326Hz, only like 1250 and 1500. Otherwise a powerful multifx, fairly easy to use.
How do you find the cab section? That's the part that seems a little strange compared to other modellers.
@@LeonTodd what you said about the models in another video is true: the models are not exact copies of existing amps, but if you tweak them you can get good sounds. Your IR makes it sound so much better, even though boss advertise their AIRD based on the interaction between power amp and speaker, which is probably lost with a 3rd party cab IR. Kemper sounded the most true to the original of the ones I tried. But it's not user friendly or maybe too user friendly. I watched some other vids of yours and you are very experienced at tweaking sounds in an instant, know which knob to turn. The resonance control seem to overlap with presence and treble which makes it difficult to tweak the most important part of the tone 1khz-6khz. It feels like I'm desperately applying overlapping filters and just don't get there. I'd should probably just use a good external IR and graphic EQ instead.
How does it compare to the line 6 and fractal fx3
I have had the Fractal Axe II XL and the AX8 and I much prefer the Boss GT1000 the effects sound more up to date it does not have a lot of preamp models but you can modify the ones inside quite easily
Are you kidding me?
Roberto Marra - U2CURE Not at all I have had Fractal and the Gt1000 better effects and I don’t have to worry about running out of CPU The effects are better more up to date with the 500 series a better faster processor than the AX8
I just want to say I appreciate all of your informative videos.
I recently purchased a boss GT 1000 core.
It sounds pretty awesome but now I’m trying to set the levels on my guitar.
I’ve done everything it says to do but when it comes time to select an option on amp type , There are no instructions on how to select.
I tried clicking every single button that clicks and nothing works.
Is there another button that functions as enter that I’m not aware of?
Did you end up gelling with the GT1000Core? I was considering it for effects loop on my board build.
Hey Leon, which monitors are you using? they sound great!! I just got my new GT-1000 and just wanted to know the best way to test my new GT.
Adam A7x
I'm wondering whether or not to get the Line 6 Helix. How does this compare to the Line 6?
Maybe and Moeer GE300?)
Awesome review! Thank you so much!!!
Is there any way to run a parallel path? I see that it has send/return, could it be used kinda like on the Helix or AX8? Also how's the audio gap between different presets?
The effects loops should let you do that. there's also independent outputs which would let you run a cab and DI at once.
@@LeonTodd I've watched the video again... gosh this GT1000 is really tempting me! I've always been in doubt cause I didn't like the sounds, but here you got some great tones out of it
hey what is the signal chain?
How do you like this v the helix
Would you recommend this pedal for someone who have guit playing live and just want to write and record music?
And of course use it as a practice tool!
Yes. Also consider Fractal FM3 which is due out soon.
As an Axe FX II user, the Zoom stuff seems like the best price to performance product right now, insanely value in those
Would you still go with the Fractal Axe FX III over this and why?
Yes. I did a one year review video of the III which outlines why.
As a Boss GT-100 owner, my question is - are the amp models usable in a live situation? I'd want to send my sound to FOH and have a decent sound on stage - not asking much 😂
Yes. Takes a little longer to get a handle on them than something like an Axe-Fx but I could gig these.
Awesome, I love boss and your videos this should be fun
BOSS are killing it recently, so many great new products.
Does it have an in built drum machine?
Not that I'm aware
@@LeonTodd Ok thanks - I personally would like that all manufacturers include a drum machine and looper in their multi fx units - By the way, I really admire your very natural and effortless guitar playing.
Leon, in your opinion: Poly Beebo or Boss GT1000 core? Thank you!
What's your use scenario? The Boss gives you all the vanilla options you'll ever need with minimum tweaking, whereas Beebo is totally modular and lets you create things you'll never here on a platform like the GT.
@@LeonTodd Thank you for your answer Leon. I am not a live gig player, more like a (wannabe and beginner) sound experimentalist. Form your answer it looks like the Beebo would be more what I am looking for. Thank you again for all you are doing for the community !!
I can't get the Recti Stack sounding good at all, I think it needs a ton of work with pre and post EQ to get it sounding decent. That would be a good one for you dial in.
I'm really struggling with that one, even with heaps of tweaking.
@@LeonTodd I'm not sure much can be done with it to be honest. Likewise the Orange model isnt great, although you might be able to get some good tones from it. The rest of the models are very good, especially Boss's own amps.
I would like to know if they have scenes or if it needs to be used in patch mode only, etc. For live use.
No scenes as far as I can tell.
It has a pedalboard mode (where you can set it up as a traditional pedalboard) as well as a manual mode where you can turn off amps/effects/change signal paths/adjust whatever amp or effects parameter(s).
It doesn't have scenes per se; but you can use assigns to control a ton of parameters with a single footswitch press. My main preset has a dual amp chain. The X-Modded, gained up and dry is my main tone. Within this same preset; I can toggle to the other amp chain where I have a cleanish, delayed and chorused Boutique amp that can come up with a single switch as well while still staying in the same preset. To get back to the my main high gain sound; I simply step on the footswitch again.
It's a little clunky to wrap your head around at first but works great once you get over the initial learning curve. Preset switching is instantaneous so you could also just copy your presets, make the modifications to them on a per song part basis and arrange it that way as well.
Which sound more and feel like a tube amp; Fractal AX8 or this?
The GT feels pretty good but the Fractal stuff is in it's own league IMO
@@LeonTodd I take it Ax8 is a bit better then. Thanks for demoing this. You're doing a great job
How do you like this vs the Helix?
If only it wasn't $1,000...
Does it have a drum machine and looper?
Wonder what metal tone can be had????
What is the guitar you are using
STR LJ-1
...sounds like...if the rubber tree plant took the red pill...and escaped by throwing a chair through a tinted window as a 1000 candles melted over the broken glass that was left...
Very not bad! :)
I am starting to hate this god damn thing. Line 6 and Headrush seem to have a much more lively community and support than this piece of complicated shit
Lol! Did you end up getting rid of it ? That user interface man might kill it for me. Also some of amps sound terrible like
The juggernaut holy shit that thing sounds awful. I don’t know if it’s just me or if they do really sound that bad
@@ramon2008 yeah I did. I went through all the top dogs over the course of a year, and I tried Fractal last. FM3 first, was won over easily, and quickly sold that to go full Axe Fx 3. It is in a different ballpark altogether IMO. It won me over to modeling. Fractal modeling. I have an AC30, but even through studio monitors I don’t feel I need that now. All the amps are on point! Great effects.
Leon is the Fractal King! We all gotsa get paid tho.
I'm always interested in how these units sound when blending two amp models simultaneously if you'd be so kind to demo
Sounds pretty sick so far. Please try to dial in a nice 5150 tone 🤘🏻 if it sounds good then I can just buy one of these for the road instead of lugging around a full sized 5150.
Noted!
Would like in depth videos on Kemper like these
You could make microwave sound like a plexi..
I'll have to try borrow one again.
I do have a microwave though...
@@LeonTodd If I weren't playing so much,I'd ship you mine.
Hahaha that would def. be interesting
Info on understanding those studio eq's,frequencies etc..would be awesome :)
Thanks for putting out so much videos...cheers
Does it have HM2 ?
yes
León next video must be mooer preamp live!! :D
Keen to try that bad boy
This or the Amplifire brother?
mooer ge300 video please.
🤓I MUCH PREFER : USING 1 OR 2 GREAT TUBE AMP RIGS , USING A CHAIN OF REAL SINGLE EFFECT PEDALS ( AMPS FRONT INPUT) & 1 OR 2 PROCESSING EFFECT RACKS (EFFECTS LOOP : SEND / RETURN) 👍🇺🇸❤ WAY BETTER NATURAL TONE , HARMONICS, SAG & FEEL !!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What are you playing it through?
oh ok, adam's, fuck my life. haha
direct usb sound?
Yes
