I think a lot of people judge how good this unit is by the presets but there's so much flexibility. Once you're able to dial in your own custom tones. The sound will blow you away.
Every one floorboard works the same way. And many people say old GT-8 and GT-100 are not worse for a price of 100 bucks. The main GT1000 secret of success is it has tiny CORE version.
Wow, very impressive, I really really love the sounds you get with this unit AND your IR. You did a great job (once again) !!
Thanks for this video Leon. Exactly what I needed to check out. Yes, we know what all the other bells and whistles do. I needed to hear the amp models. Much appreciated.
Deadly! I’m researching this one and the Helix - seems to me that this unit sounds better, especially right out of the box. I think we have similar styles as well. Nice demo and playing.
I learnt A LOT with this video, man! Thank you so much! I have a GT1 and a GT1000CORE and now Im able to get much better sounds from them!
Thanks for yet another incredibly useful and well done review. Very impressive unit...I think this may be the best sounding unit straight out of the box for the sounds that I hear in my head! I think I need to get one.
This has been incredibly helpful in dialing in a great sparkling (not harsh) clean tone. Thanks Leon.
Cleans should be harsh and sterile..lol.
I've watched many vids on the GT-1000 and you have sold me, there are some great overdrive tones that you have got. I thought that I should save for a kemper, but instead I can grab one of these and also a nice PRS SE Pauls Guitar too for the same price.
FANTASTIC demo! Pretty much every modeler’s presets seem to be just soaked in effects. Being able to hear the amp sims in relative isolation from all of that really demonstrates that the GT1000 is more than capable of producing great guitar tones. Personally, I like the approach Boss has taken with the GT-1000. Thanks for posting this!
My GT-1000 should be arriving any day now. I'm picking up a lot of tips from you. Thanks!!
Great stuff! I just got the GT-1000CORE and the first 7min of this helped me explore and find some smooth cleanish sounds I've been looking for! Would love to see more stuff on the 1000 or the CORE, especially for blues! Thanks for the vid!
Glad I could help!
Around 16 min is my fav tone by far! Great video!
you made this thing sound better then anywhere else I have listened. It has a tendency to be shrill but you convinced me that it is possible to tame it and make this unit sound very good. Thank you for your time
Thankyou!
Got the GT-1000 a year ago. I've had multliple GT versions so im real familiar. This thing is amazing if you know how to run it. There are a few settings to watch for opytimal sound. I would love to have thew cjhance to jam with someone with a Kemper or Helix. I swear I can sound like anything they got and maybe better. The GT-1000 processing power is there. Its phenomenal!!
It is the most flexible board ever. The sound is amazing but funny enough, my favorite part is how customizable it is. Its mind blowing.
kick ass tone at 12, will be great in the mix, great signal chain too leon sounds really good on a few sources and apple i buds too , sooo the tone trail goes on
This is what you have to do to make the best of a modeler. Good job.
Thanks so much!!! This video helped me realize the true worth of the sag and resonance dials.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks man. This video helps me out a lot!
Wow, loading your IR made a MASSIVE difference!
Hi David, what is the IR?
@@sarbtelon2344 If you check at the 9:50 mark Leon talks about loading a home made IR of one of his own cabs. He has posted the IR on AXE change and I'm sure he'd send you a link if you message him.
Hi David
To be Honest whenever you put a IR is going to make a Huge Difference in Tone
You are going to hear it like more Real Amp
Really stoked about you getting into the GT-1000! Are there more videos planned?
Leon, good info. I think it's at the point now where some devices model so much stuff, you're now getting so many things you'd probably never or rarely use. I think the Boss choice here is interesting because most of us want a good clean, slight breakup, crunch and a good amount of gain with effects. Looks like a good way to go if you don't want to get hung up on having to have a specific model name. Most devices will get you these sounds now.
Scott C Makes me think of the Katana, which might be one of the reasons among others it is so popular!!
Boss using generic names is not new...boss gt 8 had generic boss amps.and I loved them
Really liked that boutique model
great vid mate . love the way u show wot parameters ur adjusting on screen . cheers
Have to check this out again.. Now that I'm retiring I'm deciding to jump into the Modeling amp thing.. This one makes me think I might really like it.. Man when you used your IR and the max amp, it sounded killer! Just epic thru your SC PRS.. Killer!
Thanks brother!
bought this a year ago read my post above. This thing is well worth the price of Kemper and Helix, but its not. If you know this unit you can sound like anything.
Best GT1000 review!!!!! Thanks for this!
Cheers mate, fun little unit!
@@LeonTodd I'm trying also to do some recordings with it and, until now, I think the solo from Time, and the Pretender was kinda cool... If you could check on my channel and give your feedback would be great 🤘
Thanks for all the advices and ideias on how to tweak more!
Are you recording straight into the interface? Are you using any post adjustment in the DAW? Just to learn👍
Thanks
This is an essential video.Thanks
Once in a while very talented people come around ..you are definitely one of them Thanks a Ton
I may be mad, but I’ve never heard you sound better. Considering how quick and easy you dialed it, the price, features, and TONES are great.
Thankyou!
Amazing, video!!! Thanks.
holyshit mate, that harmonic at 21:43
New subscriber, you have some very good content, I have been doing some research I’m about to purchase a new fx unit, been looking at this one and maybe a used Helix or Ax8 floor, but I really like the new boss, I owned the gt100 and used it for awhile and ended up buying a hd500x which I still use, I just want something newer. Lol
Like many who bought this unit I concentrated at first on the airD amps and the X amps, but I was pleasantly surprised when I moved on to the amps you didn't cover, the actual amp models which are in there too.
Love that riff at 11:30!
Once you dialed them in, they sounded magnificent.
Explore the rest of AIRD Preamp as well sir, i want to hear your oppinion on Brit Stack and the rest
This is a really good iand nformative video, thank you for doing this!
Glad it was helpful!
Hello Leon!
Great vid, congratulations!
One question: looking forward to Black Friday deals to get an amp modeller, but I have a big problem:
- Love Kemper Stage's profiling and sharing capability.
- Love GT 1000 core's size and price point.
- Love Neural Cortex's promising specs and UI based on nothing yet.
What should I do? Any thoughts? (I can afford any of them, but I am definitely not rich 😆)
Thank you in advance!
There are 2 persons on RUclips that allways have a great tone, and they are you and Ola Englund.
Ok, the gear you using is top, but you allways sound so nice!
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘
Ken Andrews and jack thamaratt are better tonewise...lol
Uh Rabea? Tom Quayle? Those two and Leon are the best for everything. Ola is awesome for his genre of metal.
This unit is the only one i've seen you try that comes close to the sound of the fractal
There's marigold again! This unit sounds pretty gnarly. That Ty Tabor rif sounded really good too. This is one of the better tone demos of the gt1000. Thanks Leon.
Glad you like it!
X crunch all day! Great tone!!!
Bought a GT 1000 and used these settings as bases for lots of tones. So far that’s a GT 1000 and JTM 45 that you’ve given me good tips on.
Thanks Leon. 👍
Very nice video. Very helpful as always. You seem to be the one that has got things down with the GT-1000. However, since the new slimmed, trimmed down has hit the shores, the GT-1000CORE, I would suggest a comparison video of that one VS - hear this - the Strymon Iridium. Now, just turn off all effects from the CORE and stick to IR's and amp modelling, as CORE (as well as GTK) has mainly 3-4 amp models to choose from, and they made sure they made those few being great, as well as Iridums 3-4 models to, and the possibility to load own IR's, I think that would be a very fruitful comparison.
Then all the effects, will just turn a very good icing on the cake on top of it all. Because I think the CORE will be an alternative to Iridium users, rather than wow the Helix fans over.
great video, would like to know if you connect it to a PA or straight to a guitar amp, if so, what s the setup for the amp in regards to the EQ, gain ,,,,, etc , thanks
Hello Leon thanks. In some reviews I heard mentioning step sequencers in relation with BOSS GT core 1000, but I am not clear whether there Is a built in effect (as in the mod dwarf for instance) or it is Simply good to use with them. Do you know more? Thanks
In your video on the Boss GT 1000 you mensioned that there is a control switch to switch between Amp A and Amp B . I own this thing a couple of days now but I never found this. Can you tell me where it is? Thanks a lot . You give a fine demonstration of this pedalboard.
Which do you like better the Boss GT-1000 or Line 6 Helix and why?
Thanks Leon for your video, I want to ask you about something, now my sound is totally different than yours and I had a lot of time maybe 2 years trying to understand why GT1000 sounds so weak and premitive with me, so I need to ask you about how are you connecting your output ?? you are using L-R cables straight to the sound card ?? and also what's the different between M LR and the SUB LR as they appears in the FX chain
Thanks
Can you tell whats the Katana's correspondent amps in the Gt-1000, particulary the brown sound?
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘
Heres a tip..on clean amps put gain switch on high...on high gain amps put gain switch on low or medium.. It soub2ds very natural...
Thanks for showing us the gain sounds with a third party IR leon, sounds great already!!, im sure you can make it sound amazing with some more time!
best damn gt demo! and long over due!
Cheers!
Hi Leon, that IR sounds great! What pack is it from and what website can I buy it from?
Seconded! I dont mind buying it, is it available for purchase?
I've been having ppl telling me that the interface 'is hard to use compared to the Helix' etc, but from watching this, doesnt look very hard to me. Or am I missing something? Sounds great and love the learning.
many of them have the simplistic view that touch screen = modern and good, non-touch = old and bad.
Nice demo of the amp models - they do sound better than the GT-100. Live, would you send the IR sounds to FOH, and what would you monitor with on stage, and would you use cab sims / IRs on stage?
Yes and yes.. Monitor trough a frfr cab
between Boss Gt1000 and Ax8, which is better in your opinion?
Hi Leon. Is the IR still available for download? Cheers
Man gotta tell me how do i get that IR, is it a Fractal one right??
Could we get a link to the IR used please?
That LT 412 Brit IR is spectacular. It's one of my favorite IR's that I use with my Helix.
Lr
Just got the GT1000, was going to get the Fractal FM3 but trying this first as I got a great deal and pretty impressed so far. This video is the best I've seen by far for going through the amps. Awesome work as usual, really informative. Is it possible to get a copy of your IR? Tried downloading from the Fractal site but syx format and not able to convert to wave. More than happy to pay for it!
Try this link www.dropbox.com/sh/zybfjv1t24zfqeo/AAD4dktl3dMouzZrjR7-pU9Ga?dl=0
Did you end up staying with this unit?
No, couldn’t get a good gain tone I was happy with. Went back to my valve amp
@@aidanmcguigan1724 if others can get good tone then you also can..
But I guess modellers are all about tweaking parameters until you get the right tone..
sounds unbelieveable
I've had the GT 1000 for a few days and what I've noticed is that, granted you have the proper "output select" set, it disquises your amp as another amp.
Like most amp models will sound as if you Mic'd the amp you are modeling in another room and are monitoring it on your Amp. Which definitely works better on a PA.
But if you tell the GT1000 that you are going through an amp and tell it what amp/amp-type you are going through, it makes your amp sound like that amp.
I did a side by side between the AC30 model (going through a Vox MV50 clean on a 1x12 cab) and a real AC15. The tonal characteristics are the same. It's weird though.. At low volumes in a bedroom, you can tell that the Vox Ac15 just sounds how it sounds, but the other amp sounded as if it had some weird EQ settings going on.. It's hard to describe. Like they sounded pretty much the same, but you can tell one was just doing it's thing and one was wearing a disguise.
However It's possible it's just my eyes deceiving me. Also I think in a live setting, when the amp actually gets cranked loud, it probably would feel more legitimate. Especially because I assume the GT1000 is modeling an AC30 in it's sweet spot, while I'm playing at late-night apartment levels.
As far as the dynamic saturation response... When using output selections it seems like the GT1000 tries to account for real saturation from your real amp in combination with the simulated saturation in the model. In my case, I was using a Vox MV50 clean at pretty low volume, so I had a TON of headroom that the real vox ac15 did not have. This also isn't among the amps listed under Output Select, so I had to use the generic "Tube 112 Combo" Option. So it seemed like the GT-1000 model was cleaner than the vox ac15, but I think this is just because the GT1k didn't expect my "Tube 112 Combo" to have as much headroom as it does. It is silly to look at it this way.. If it sounds good, it sounds good. But if I did want it to match 99%, I could just turn up the gain on the Amp Model to compensate for the large headroom on the real amp.
The boss is modeling what you expect the aml to sound like ...not the actually amp. That's why boss isnt as good in my opinion...it soubds good..but each amp can only sound one-way ... Classic examples of what we think the amp sounds like.
How does one get hold of your V30 IR?
Does the gt 1000 simulates power amp like the helix ? I’m really really hesitating between the boss and the helix but I’m not sure ans if there’s a power amp simulator on the boss I may go for it
They have stuff like sag and bias which is only found in power tubes so yes
Give me a dollar or give me 50 cents....haha always great to hear Dogman in a demo. Great tones. I will probably grab this unit pretty soon.
Best album!
@@LeonTodd No argument here. Classic album from start to finish.
Great-chen tones...ogre at that! ;-)
Boss gt 100 vs Boss gt 1000 please! Greetings from Argentina
Way better than Helix...to my ear🙏👍
Thanks for explaining and demonstrating Sag and Resonance! I've watched a lot of your Fractal videos even though I don't own one and probably never will. I do own a GT-1000 and there is not much good material like what you do here available. I particularly like how you bring us into what you are hearing and how you explain what you like and don't like as you make adjustments. If you could do some "5 minute tones" for the GT-1000 that would be great! Also if you could stay away from downloaded IR's or do that as a totally separate thing. At this point I find the IR thing a rabbit hole and Boss only gave a couple slots anyway. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Hi there Leon! I'm researching a new multi-fx board, But there are too many models out and I don't have access to try any of them before buying.
So I'm asking of these 4 models which would you choose, with amp model sounds being the main criteria followed by price vs performane? Zoom G5N, Zoom G11, Boss GX-100 or Boss GT-1000?
Thanks so kindly!
Out of those 4 you mentioned my favourite is the GX-100.
I'm pretty biased though, as you can grab my artist presets if you have a GX :p
Thanks Leon, that helps a lot!
I've always liked everything about Boss multi-fx units, but the COSM amps never did it for me. Seems like the AIRD is a big improvement.
@@LeonTodd Have you tried the Zoom G5N? I keep coming back to it for several reasons...the sounds seem to be really good, the price is unbeatable, and it has a great user interface. The GX-100 is a strong contender however!
In my universe, i REALLY NEED someone to do a tutorial on how to assign different LED light colors to different switches. What I’m doing, which by the way means having everything set exactly the way it should be, is not working at all. If I have something set to off/blue and on /green it goes to f’n orange. Makes no sense at all from where I’m sitting.
Maybe it's all in my head but I feel like Boss has a sound that they never can quite get away from.
Yeah, but that sound has been on many, many albums. They always seem to cut through the mix.
Trying to pick an amp modeler is a total nightmare. For me fractal comes out top with the fm3. But I can't justify that for home playing. So I looked at everything and the final contestants are the GT 1000 core and the MX stomp. Boy do I miss the days when you only had to pick s new tube amp. It's really hard to pick a modeler based on RUclips videos.
An FM3 is the same price as the GT-1000
@@nigeldaddyo Not here in the UK. The GT 1000 is £300 cheaper. The core is £500 cheaper.
Does it have a drum machine and looper?
Looper. No drum machine.
What did you play at 15:27?
A teeny weeny bit of Marigold by Periphery
Can anyone clarify how I'm supposed to go about using AIRD amps with a traditional cab setup live?
As in, I play bass and have a class D amp head and cabs on stage. Is it redundant to push an AIRD, which has cab sim, into my actual amp and cabs?
Disable the cabinet sim
@@LeonTodd That's not a thing on the GT-1000, according to what I have read
@@jarodgrieco880 if not, there are several ways you can configure the outputs to suit various sources. Pretty sure one is to run into a power amp and cab
@@LeonTodd Yeah I'm still confused about that though. When I select "Bass
Amp" as the output it sounds like mush. I wish Boss had documentation about what's actually happening to the signal for each output type. Yesterday someone told me that "Line/Phones" is the option that eliminates cab sim. It doesn't make much sense.
@@jarodgrieco880 ergh that sounds frustrating. If I still had one I'd fire it up and try figure it out. Only other option I can think is to load up a third party "null" IR in the cab block.
King’s X baby!!!
It’s just one of those moments in your testing that I seriously forgot how good Ty Tabor is on tone in general. Seen them 4 times in my life and to this day, they are never boring. I’m going to be trading in my GT-1, GT-B1, and my AKG Dual wireless, with my lightly used Michael Kelly guitar for the GT-1000. You sold me.
Well this is interesting as I do find that there are some sounds that are very similar to one another in the other Modellers (Cough Helix cough) and there is not much to distinguish them. Boss went "here are the main sounds groups, go nuts"
Dude, old post but true. I'm dying to side by side with a kemper, helix or quad owner. I swear between the EQs, multiple amps, effects, dual signal chain. There is nothing this thing cant sound like. The quad can have two inputs but thats about the only advantage. I can get any sound they can.
Another really good video. I have owned a gt1000 since it came out. Great bit of kit. Awesome cleans and drive sounds. The effects are incredible. But... But... I struggle to get a 'gigable' high gain sound.
I currently use it in a 5 cable setup with either the Egnator Tweaker or 5150, but I really like your high gain sound here, but I'll assume you are in recording mode. Would you use it live in the 2 cable method?
Which sound more and feel like a tube amp; Fractal AX8 or this?
Hi Leon. Regarding the clean sound and the gain switch (02:05): I own the GT-100 and am still working with it live, but I'm not happy or satisfied with the FEEL any more. The actual SOUNDS are pretty much okay, I did a lot of tweaking to make them as good as they can possibly get. But now I plan to upgrade to the GT-1000 because it's simply a big step forward. My question is: When I switch the gain switch from MID to HIGH and also lower the gain setting on the gain control, the result is almost - but not completely - the same as if I left the gain switch on MID and cranked up the gain control. Why is this? Obviously there are more parameters involved than I had thought. Just like you I prefer the HIGH switch position with a gain setting of around 50. Cheers!
Can you please upload again the ir???? It was amazing and has been deleted now

Which did you like better, this or the helix?
Or ax8
Can you imagine if Jimi Hendrix had been alive today. He would be in seventh heaven with all this beautiful guitar tech.
So fun!
This thing sounds like Boss Katana to me.
Will you review thu (Overloud)?
like any other modeler, custom IRs are the way to go with TH-U. I have the Slate edition, which does not come with a custom IR loader, just 15 ownhammer ones, but they sound good, way better than the cab sims of the plugin. The rig library also makes it shine, cuz it is essentially a kemper that models a whole signal - drive pedal, amp, cab and mics.
sag makes sound more like a tube amp.. makes it more real..
I love Boss and this unit looks great, but I'm waiting on the Fractal FM3. The FM3 has tons of IR's built in, which is great. Searching and then loading them is a frustration and time consuming. If only the FM3 would get released...
Hi Leon. Great video. Question... After you loaded the IR, and you changed to the following amps, was that IR still active, through the rest of the amps, or did the GT-1000 default to the stock speaker sim for the following amps?
From then on it's that IR
Does the core have these models?
Apparently it has everything this has
@@LeonTodd Thanks for the reply and info.👍
I could get lost in a Universe of my own creation with that device; my wife would divorce me. LOL!
Exactly the reason why I bought one!
HA HA! It's only a grand or so!
The hundred thousand dollar question would you OWN this unit? Do you tho it’s worth the $$$ and last how does it feel compared to your Axe FX in your hands
Yep, that is the big question for sure. I'll address that in a future video.

How do we get rid of the add to learn guitar. Should be band
Get IRs for the GT 1000 and it goes to a whole new level.
Where can you get those?
I'm using IR's for the distorted sounds here
@@furiousnewf zombiecabs.com/
I got mine from sigma, a Friedman Steve Steven's and a suhr hedgehog- about 7.99 aud each, that and setting the output gain to +10 db in the master setting dramatically changed the sound.
@@LeonTodd lol yes only watched 2 mins before commenting then realised. Great video mate.
the sound is too harsh...
METALZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ ...
Agree. Everything going fine. Then came the metal and the whole review became how to metal. Distortions sounded fine. Of course you need to tweak any sound but it became how to metal the 2nd half of vid lol
Everyone raves about Heilix this is better and cheaper
