OK, gotta get it. If for no other reason that I can use it late at night while watching Star Trek with the captions on while jamming to New Wave songs on RUclips...
This guy gets it.
That could be the track title of a new wave song.
you can’t though/ only he can really/ cuz that’s really him/
Sounds great. But does it offer a function to slow down a track ( but not pitch) in order to learn a difficult luck or solo? Is there anything out there likethat? ( I think years ago Panasonic? made something primitive like that.)
This is oddly specific and oddly relatable xD just hit season 5 of Voyager
After a lot of research for a silent practice tool I ordered the Boss Pocket GT because this was the only demo I could find that wasn't all palm muted high gain examples. Thanks for helping the surf guys! 🖖
cool video! I just got one on Amazon. Now I too, can sit on the couch late at night watching Star Trek with the captions on while jamming along to new wave songs on you tube.
Great video, Ryan! This just shot to the top of my gear wish list. I could use something for sitting on the couch late at night watching Star Trek with the captions on while jamming along to new wave songs on you tube.
As a drummer that plays minimal guitar, I must say you sold me on this. You also scared me with some of those effects! Thanks!
Im a metalhead, but we share the love for guitars and gear.
I love this video. Really fun to watch!
Cheers from Portugal 🤘🍺🇵🇹
Congrats Ryan, charisma leads to everyone, great work, thank you...learning a lot here.
Hey bro! Thank you a lot for this wonderful video! Perfectly done and with big heart. So must it be ❤
Sold me on it...I haven't found one that I like yet and your comments about having real knobs, a tuner and tactile volume hit home. Ordered!
I really enjoy your videos Ryan. This is cool... I like the idea of jamming to new wave songs whilst watching star trek with the captions on...mmm... I may need to get me one of these. Thanks.
Great review. I'm sold. Looks like the best practice device to me! Thanks!
I read the comments and no one yet had mentioned my old favorite The Rockman!!!! Spectacular sound for the early 1980's!!!! With that said, this Boss unit sounds terrific! My Rockman died years ago but this Boss could easily go in front of my effects unit and make reverb and such a lot easier to quickly set while playing back with older hit recording! As I listen more it's like a SUPER pocket version of my old Digitech GSP 21 unit! A vast choice of tones from all eras!!!!!! Thanks, I just might get one of these!!!!!!!
I'ts money very well spent. He is not kidding about endless tweaks and experiments. There aren't many tones you can't cook up with it. Multiple delays at once create sounds you never heard before.
As a Boss GT-1 in a tiny portable box, it's really hard to do much better than this for a fully integrated headphone amp. Especially with the wireless playback support to be able to play along with RUclips videos through your headphones late at night while watching Star Trek with the captions on and playing along with New Wave
I love this. Being a truck driver I wanted to have good tone that was portable. The Micro Cube didn’t quite cut it so I bought the Pocket GT. I had a Fender Mustang Micro already but it was excessively bright even on the darkest EQ settings. The Pocket GT gives you so much control over the tone it was clearly a superior headphone amp. The ability to play along with backing tracks were just icing on the cake. I have been using it to expand my knowledge of scales and the fretboard and, yes, I do play it while kicking back and watching a movie on Netflix. And I actually thought your metal tone was pretty good. It had some mids!
Wait... you're playing guitar while watching a movie AND driving a truck? You got skills!
How’s it going still with the pocket GT? I just ordered one so I won’t bug the lady at night. Seems like the perfect tool with of a bunch of other stuff I can play with.
What headphones are you using with it?
@@thelowmein9143 I’m currently using Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80ohm closed design. I also use these for tracking on my laptop.
DT 770 Pros are soliddd headphones. sound really good, super comfy, and built like tanks, without the weight of a tank
I live in an apartment with paper thin, walls. I haven't enjoyed plugging head-phones into a Mustang, mostly because it's hard to get clean sounds from it. This looks easy to use, so I think I will try one out.
Thanks for posting the video
Very cool. I need one of these now. Thanks for a good review.
I bought one today and then decided to come looking for reviews. I know, I'm backwards. But it sees to be much more than just a pocket multi-fx unit. I'm impressed so far. Can't wait for it to arrive.
Out of all the accessories you reviewed, I'm sold on this!
God bless you Ryan! Thanks for all you do and your positive attitude! 👍💯✅🙏🙌
This sounds pretty good! Fun reverb!
This just blew my mind! Im getting one!! This is awesome! Ive actually been a fan of these little pocket, belt worn things for ever! Ever since i got a Zoom 9002 in the early 90's, i still have a Korg Pandora PX4, im definitely getting one!
It's an entire magnitude greater than those, you'll love it!
Yeah, the Pandora PX4D was the first thing I thought of. This sounds better.
Lol. I had the Zoom also back in the nineties. And still have a korg pandora, etc. Now I gotta get this one too!
Totally agree with you on this being the best as far as using for a headphone amp. The ability to adjust volume IS huge, to adjust for different headphones. And the controls on the device are great. BUT, for that TV play, I prefer using my Spark Mini, with no headphones at low volumes, hear the dialog on the shows, and still play, or a little louder during commercials. But the GT-1 is a good piece of kit.
Just like the Waza Air headphones... they're SO great for jamming along while watching Star Trek with the subtitles on. I don't mind the lack of knobs. Though I'm guessing this is substantially more reasonably priced.
Good review, Ryan.
I just came across this while considering the NuX Mighty Plug Pro and you convinced me to look for one of these and I found one for 30% off. I got such a vibe from your demonstration that I think I'm gonna jump on the chance
I'm really looking forward to a shootout. If possible, in the shootout video do you think you could compare how quick/easy it is to get them set up as a quick-and-dirty recording interface?
I've got the HX Stomp and the Mustang Micro. I'm looking for a better, "I need to get this idea out of my head now so I don't forget" recording interface. Usually I use the HX to record, but if I'm jamming along to RUclips videos with Star Trek playing in the background and have a riff/song idea, I don't like getting up and heading to the desk to boot everything up and get recording...I had originally hoped the Mustang Micro would serve that purpose, but I'm not as happy with that aspect of it and I'm wondering if the BOSS does a better job of it before I impulse-buy one.
Edit: For real though...the "jamming to RUclips videos while watching Star Trek in the background" comment you made in the Mustang Micro video is the reason I subbed to the channel way back when. Largely because the night before I saw it I was literally doing the exact same thing. Except it was HUM and Open Hand instead of New Wave.
Kudos to you for buying it. Cant stand video reviews where the youtuber doesnt pay a cent. Great video thanks for sharing.
Just discovered that the v130 firmware update lets you wirelessly connect to the expandable FS-1-WL footswitch. Up to 5 buttons on the floor plus an expression pedal. Also, v130 has adjustable 50% to 150% tempo control for RUclips vids in Tone Studio!
Hey dude, thanks for the idea! I bought a used Laney LC10, I put my Pocket GT in front of it et voilà! Micro tube amp and gorgeous sound without carrying around my big pedalboard. But how to control Pocket GT (except by cell phone for tweaking patches)? Great info you gave me
Such a funny video. I laughed so much .
The video is so fun. And your constant return to "that" surf music. I'm not a surf fan...but it's good !!
I use an FM3....BUT I once had a GT 1. Despite the FM 3, I'm annoyed that I sold the gt1. IT RUNS ON BATTERIES.
I liked the sound at the time.
I saw a good used offer.(half the price).
Also it is technically the gt1 and i know that i can use my old patches.
.I think I won't be able to resist....
I have Boss GP-10, and looking at Ryan fiddle with the app, it seems like Pocket GT uses basically the same models GP-10 has, but it allows for higher flexibility in building effects chains (I cannot chain four delays in my BossTones Studio no matter what I do (-: ). The models themselves are top notch, though. Thanks for the review - this is really useful and fun.
I sold a candy-green Clapton-Strat before I moved here … miss it.
I love that guitar. ☮️
Might be something to think about. I've been using that little Mooer PE 100 thingy for a couple of years. I've always been impressed with it an how you can adjust all the parameters, but this looks insane with the app. Kinda like a Boss Katana for the lazy chair late at nite.
Totally sold me on this device! Thanks Ryan... you Influencer of GAS, you! 🤪😎🤘🎸
Love mine! A guy uploaded all the GT -1000 patches for it.
I purchased the pocket after watching 60 cycle mention it a few months ago. I use my almost everyday. I put my kids to bed and use it to practice. Honestly, one of the best devices I own. Prior to the pocket I used the fender mustang micro. I like the pocket WAY WAY better. I highly recommend it
Hi! What would you recommend for someone just newbie on electric guitar? Fender Micro or Nux Mighty Plus Pro, Pocket GT or audio interface + DAW ? I have to use it with headphones, so i don't want to use classic amps.
You've convinced me to return the micro and snag this instead !
I really like the fender mustang but it is cool how you edit the boss easily. I do have a lot of issues with Bluetooth on it and setting up markers. But my guitar sound always plays.
Would also add the boss plugging in with a guitar cable makes it a lot easier to use an external 3.5mm jack for a speaker. I use mine with a Bose S1 but have used regular speakers. Hell it works with my tvs soundbar if I want.
Also going to have to finally learn Where it’s At and Cissy Strut. Good stuff!
They are fun riffs!
Hey 60 Cycle…willing to share the settings you used for your presets? I am super digging them 🖖🏻
I bought this on sale for $100. Let me tell you, the effects are the same quality in the GT1000 and other GT effects!! I take this now, with my pedalboard, to band practice, it replaced my Fender Deluxe amp!! If this had an 1/4 output, that would be great. You can use a BOSS MIDI footpedal and BOSS switcher with this too!! Remember the BOSS ME-80 floor effects?? This BLOWS that away. I also wished the USB interface was compatible w/OSX Monterey, but they're working on that...
Hey so how can you play this through something besides headphones it’s bugging me I want to play it through a speaker
@@markstrain4429, just get a 1/4 adapter plug, and run it into an amp, or a 3/8 stereo to dual RCA cable to a mixer or speaker input.
Cool review - I'm on the road travelling for work a bunch and this seems like a great idea for sitting in a hotel watching Star Trek with the captions on... 😉
One question (for anyone !) - the amp is the big component obviously - but don't want to overlook the headphones... Any advice on good choices for those - features (?) to look for that might be important for this sort of thing vs. just listening to music etc.
I wish Boss would release an update of their little pocket multitrack. That thing was great. They make fantastic mastering algorithms. Very tape like. I recorded all sorts of stuff with it not just guitar.
The Micro-BR? I love that thing, although it's pretty dated and a bit complex to use.
@@KeithMilner Micro BR80
What model was it ! I had a micro recorder. Still laying around somewheres. Thanks.
@@teriakamotoMicroBR80…A rapper/hip hop guy turned me on to it. Lots of hip hop albums were made on Roland multitrack recorders back in the day, including MF Doom stuff. Roland can’t make a reverb sim to save their life (outside of their pedals), but they have always done great with tape effects somehow (including in their samplers).
Thanks @@dimensionstomorrow Ueaj, that's the one i have. Is it easy to use ?
Sounds great! Wow
Just bought it last week for 99 bucks. Now I'm happy. Thanks
The Korg PX5D might not have the video controls, but it has effects, a drum machine, amp simulator and bass accompaniment. It was before its time.
You got me at Tera Echo! Wow. So good. Is there a click built into this? I’m definitely buying one of these… thanks for the heads up, Ryan! Bring on the Star Track.
It sounds great. The only issue for me is no stereo input, since I want to use it for more than just my guitar.
Broke my Mustang Micro, and although I successfully grafted half of a patch cable to the circuit board, it’s pretty sketchy. Now that the pocket GT is only $100, it makes sense.
I have a Nux MightyPlug that I never play, because the app reliance is annoying, and the sound quality is not great. It is nice for practicing bass (there are bass amps).
Just ordered a Pocket GT on Reverb. Don’t forget the shootout. Please throw in something like and HX Stomp or Iridium as a ringer, and maybe an AmPlug as a sacrificial lamb. I want to see if these little guys stand up.
Damn. Wish I’d known about this as I wouldn’t have bought the Mustang Micro! So much to play with having the app to tune the sounds
Playing on the couch while watching Star Trek with the captions on, jamming to RUclips videos is EXACTLY what I need this for. Now get out of my living room man.
Hey Ryan great vid!
I love my pocket GT, bought it on a whim when I saw it discounted at a random GC a few months back. it’s full of great surprises.
Actually made me buy a Tera echo pedal for real once I tried the model.
One question: how did you record what you were playing so we could hear it to? It sounded great!
It didn’t look like the usb cable was connected so you weren’t in “interface mode”.
Did you split off the headphones cord? If so, why did you choose that route? Curious.
Thanks!
I record my videos into a field recorder so recording via usb would have been extra work. I have some rigging that lets me turn a stereo head phone jack into two quarter inch cables.
@@60CycleHumcast makes sense, and sounded great. Thanks for the quick answer and keep up the fantastic work!
Great demo! I'm a big fan of this little marvel as well. I even use it to gig sometimes. 😁
I've got it to replace the Waza Air that I returned for being too expensive (really cool practice tool though).
What I do to get the surround effect as in the Waza Air is: I use the reverb on Ambience and I pretty much get the same effect without the gyroscope of course. In that way your ears get even less fatigued.
Maybe you should try it.
I'd set the Reverb Time at 0.5 and the Effect Level at 100. The rest I just leave it as default.
Hi. God Willing. You said you use it to gig sometimes. I assume you plug in a speaker directly into the headphone slot? Does that work well? I mean if that's so, I can get it right up. But then it would really be a many-step up of the GT1, right? What am I missing here? God Be Praised for all.
The headphone output isn't powerful enough to drive any speaker at gigging level.
What I do is I plug it directly to the front of house mixer just like any multi fx pedal. I just use a TRS 3.5mm to TS 1/4" adapter.
I hope this answers your question.
Amazing palm size GT-1！
Including Tera Echo and Overtone.
It can be used with EV-1-WL.
18:33
I'd like to see a comparison to nux mighty plug and the fender headphone amp
If I had one and spent all the time building patches to use when practicing, I would want to use them live on stage, thats why I practice.
Hallo,thx vor introducing this nice Pocket Studio!Ist the App for Android and Apple both?
Seems like a spiritual successor to the old Korg Pandora :-) Except even that, in 1997, managed more information (like patch names) than two 7 segment displays.
Boss just doesn't miss. I have a very crappy old headphone amp that I'll use until it turns to dust and then maybe I'll get one of these!
Fyi, there is a fairly active FB group to help answer noob questions and has links to patches
Boss is amazing at producing products that I don't need at a price that I cannot refuse.
They should add on a device like this a physical record button.. like they did on the boss br80
I think it’s important to say that the default sounds are not good BUT you need to read the manual and it explains a whole lot more. You can go into the app and edit the default sounds and make them sound really good or completely make your own unique sound. I’m quite impressed with this thing, You can also plug it into a regular speak with an aux and use it as an amp.
@60CycleHum Did you ever post somewhere (BOSS Tone Exchange?) the Surf patch #91 that you created here for the Pocket GT? I'd love to compare the settings to what I'm coming up with.
Man- this thing sounds great, really impressed. I'm old I guess- the fact that you can get all that into that little thing that fits in your pocket- that trips me out. I started playing in the 70s- I'm used to a rig that sounds like that being huge, and extremely expensive. I'm sure it will get even better in the future but, it seems like the golden age of guitar tech. in a way. I've watched modeling go from being as joke to being a serious thing that sounds amazing. I will say there are still somethings I think analogue does better but, it's just a matter of time.
Me too 70's, me too heavy expensive gear, me too - analogue sounds better. Ain't nothing gonna replace the sound of my Boogie/TriAxis/Soldano rack with 2 x 4 x 12's on high volume. BUT - man, the difference at low volume and even at high with some modellers is minimal if you run them through a decent power amp and some good cabs, and the benefits of the library of sounds is enormous. But not only that, for me it's about saying bye bye to all those patch cables between units, multiple preamps, noise reduction units, electrical interference and hum, amp repairs, lugging all that gear around. Fiddling around in the dark on gigs in the back of a rack. ATM whenever possible I use a handy little 50W combo and some pedals just because I'm lazy now and it's just easier to carry around. It's limited, so I'm looking at selling a guitar and getting an Axe FX3 modeller, building a smaller rack with my Boogie simul class 90, and 2 x 2 x 12's Marshalls - but for the price this little unit is awesome for what you get. Might as well just buy one at this price level.
@@MrXeberdee totally agree, im kinda the opposite, like a new age guitar player. I started like 2 and a half years ago so fairly new, but i bought a schecter originally and a line 6 pod go shortly after. Things awesome at all volumes if you get the right tone. Still prefer playing my guitar through a nice amp instead of my studio monitors though. The “in the room feel” cant really get replicated by something like this amp or the pod go with my hifi speakers. (Playing my brothers les paul on his tube combo marshall opened my eyes. You can however just use the pod go strictly for effects into your amp (sounds awesome), which is my end goal once i save enough to buy an ac30. Modeling for effects is imo phenomenal with the right gear. Makes hundreds of tones accessible.
Tone works Pandora did it 20 plus years ago
Thanks Ryan, just bought it on sale for $129. Felt like a good deal compared to the waza headphones and now I am not tied to an amp or interface for headphone use.
$99 bucks right now.
I have no need for this but I want it because it looks fun. I have the NUX mighty plug and it does just fine but it's not on the same level.
Hi there, I'm a newbie to a guitar wold and gadgets. Looks like you connecting your headphones to the unit but where is the physical sound coming from that were hearing? I'm just trying to understand all these demos on RUclips using this setup.
If only it had a looper instead of the backing track thingy…still sounds better than expected!
Hi, will this work on a TC Electronic G Major 2 guitar processor?
Thank you.
Just bought this thing....Best how to on youtube for this, surprised, because I usually watch your channel for guitar and pedal p0rn and a laugh. Maybe this should be your wheelhouse....How toz
Top job bro!!
Wow, that thing just blew away every modeling amp, modeling prog and headphone amp I have seen/heard to date...and Im talking dozens..I would definately think it could run through a stereo aux amp like the BlackStar coreid 20 for busking.If you need a bigger amp just mic both speakers into a stereo PA..
So, can I ONLY use it on the couch late at night watching Star Trek with the captions on while jamming along to new wave songs on you tube...? Don't get me wrong, that sounds like a great time so maybe I just need to get with the program! 😆 Thanks for the great demo! Any thoughts on how the sound quality compares to other popular multi-effects pedals?
Because of the way this was marketed I too stayed away from it. The last thing I wanted was something I had to (learn) and tether up to a smart phone or pc just to get started with it. I just need a few inspiring tones that I can get to instantly late at night or early in the morning. Using its most basic functions with headphones I believe is all I need. I'll be reconsidering this product.
I almost never use the app, I’ve got my presets and they do what I want.
I'm not entirely sure what the value in paying 4x the cost for this over the Nux MP2 if you don't want the RUclips functions.
@@robinr22 where are you seeing the pocket gt for 4x the price?
@@robinr22 A good observation.
@@60CycleHumcast Thomann have the MP-2 for £58 vs £218 for the Boss.
What's the song for that riff Ryan plays between 5:10-5:17? I've heard the song but drawing a blank.
You got it when "messing with my vibe" due to an app being the only way to adjust the do-hicky needing a slight tweak. Thats a plus. It does not have a footswitch set up. It does not have a "C" connection for charging. It only goes 4 hours till a recharge. The app on your fone requires "location on" (WTF)....why does that matter? It's came out over a year ago & a bunch of reviews are out way ahead of 60 cycle hum. Not complaining Ryan, but I'm one who over reviews a gadget before I throw money at it. I have stuff collecting dust that ends up on E-bay later, at a discount. I like very much the size, the knobs, the Y/T section, the "no app required" to get up & goin.... can it Bluetooth to a Bluetooth headset ? Probably not, since it hooks up to the unit, but if I'm not on the app wud that work to my Bluetooth headset?.... (Fewer cables).... Without some foot working stuff, how do you go to different sounds without removing a hand to poke a button.? I'm still on the fence with this thing. (Sweetwater $130) Hmmmm !!?? Will watch this vid again for more info. Ryan, you like it, & that says alot due to your massive gathering of geeky guitar nerd stuff we all like. Keep it up.....😜
im not sure its possible to have a guitar device that supports bluetooth headhone connections because theres lag over bluetooth, so your playing would feel significantly delayed.
Soundwise is it better than Moore prime, especially gainy sounds?
Sorry if this is a silly question but can this connect from my guitar, to the gt, to my PC, and then out my headphones?
Also if anybody has any reference, how does this compare the irig hd 2 (if they even function the same way)
I use my Pocket GT to run my Katana mkii for better onboard sounds. I’m not crazy about the tones I can get from the Katana onboard controls so far. I’m curious if I can run a pedal board into the pocket gt but I think I’m going to end up answering that question myself unless the host wants to take this one on. I can’t find any info and I don’t own any pedals… yet.
Can you recommend which affordable headphones works well with the pocket gt?
Does this work for watching Star Wars with the captions off?
Haven't finished watching this video but can you load impulse responses on this? There's no mention of it anywhere on the website. I'm assuming that's a no.
Ah, but can you somehow get your vocal into the mix using thew 'aux in'?
Hmmmm... Sounds vaguely like the late, great Korg Pandora?
can you plug this into an amp also and use like a stomp effect?
If it has a Sitar effect, I'm down!
Gonna buy it anyway. The quality of the sounds are great.
Dang awesome.
Can this be run to external cab or speakers???
Thanks
Can you play this into a bluetooth speaker or soundbar or anything or only into headphones?
How do you think this would sound to an FRFR or PA? Thanks
Several years ago going through Star Trek NG and had the same thought. So…now that I know..
I had one for a while but sold it for the Mustang Micro. Too many bells and whistles for what I wanted.
Is this device ok to use with low impedance earphones/IEMs?
Wow! Such a bargain here in our top music store in Canada. Only $199 Canadian. On sale from $270.
Will stick with my Mustang Micro for the time being. Will keep an eye out if this ever comes down to a reasonable price. (Which seldom happens in Canada)
Really? I love buying things from Canada because they’re always cheaper.
can it be used as an interface to record on a pc via usb port?
I have missed the old Music Man from the 80's, but wow that is quite good. How do you DI to a board?
That thing can likely make the sound I am looking for, 2 dogs F*$@%#g..........SOLD
I've had a Mustang micro saved to my Sweetwater wish list, but this is going on the list also. I like that you don't *need* the app to use it. Definitely going to try one out.
Micro on sale for $89
I do the same thing with the Katana.
I've got a nux mighty plug sound real good. U like boss no tunner, that one has buttons acting independent like without an app.
I think I'm liking the boss more. But at this point I got what I got .
Do it again , for the buttons and tunner I'm sold if it sounds decent.
With BOSS history in say it sounds good
Is this just a souped up version of the Danelectro Bacon and Eggs?
Can you use with Waza Air? Is it Bluetooth?
Hey could you put your patches on there so I can try them out?
Is there any background hiss noise??
Hey man, Kennis Russell just got his channel back up after getting hacked over a year ago. It would be worth it to help him get back to where he was supposed to be.
