Exceptional SoundThanks to its Premium BOSS sound engine, the GT-1 provides tone quality and sound-shaping ability that far exceeds typical compact multi-effects. A history of BOSS processing is at your fingers, from classics such as the OD-1 Overdrive to modern effects powered by innovative MDP technology. There’s a huge selection of COSM amp tones on tap too, including vintage legends and BOSS original amps Optimised for ideal tone and response. Specialised effects like Acoustic Simulator, Guitar Simulator, and others provide numerous tonal options, and there’s even a looper to enhance your Practise sessions and stage performances. | Portable Tone PartnerThe GT-1 was designed for musicians on the move. It’s surprisingly lightweight and compact, yet still delivers the rugged durability that BOSS is famous for. The modern design is easy to slip in and out of a guitar bag’s accessory compartment, with no worries of hard edges causing damage to your axe. AC or battery power provides flexibility for any performing situation, and up to seven hours of battery life is available for street performing and other mobile gigs. | Easy Patch Selection and Sound CreationWith the GT-1, it’s simple to find fantastic tones for your style, and just as simple to Customise them to taste. Beginners can get great sounds right away, while more experienced players will appreciate how quick and intuitive it is to adjust sounds. The Easy Select function allows you to choose patches by genre, distortion, or effect type, while Easy Edit lets you tweak drive, modulation, and echo tones to perfection with little effort. Dedicated panel buttons provide quick on/off switches for effect groups, and also unlock deep-dive parameters for microscopic fine-tuning. | Maximum Control in a Small SpaceThe GT-1’s three footswitches are smartly designed to provide patch selection, tuner access, looper control, and more in a minimal footprint. The dedicated CTL1 switch is freely assignable to functions like tap tempo, effects on/off, and numerous others, while the expression pedal and toe switch are assignable to volume, wah, and various effects parameters. If you crave more control, there’s even a jack for connecting up to two external footswitches or an expression pedal. And in addition to providing access to BOSS Tone Central and BOSS Tone Studio, the GT-1’s USB jack lets you record tones with your Favourite DAW. |

It’s compact, light, robust and has a massive collection of fully editable effects available. You can customise your sound almost endlessly, and the interface is really easy to use. You even get rotary controls to set your parameters for those like me that like physical controls. The audio quality is impressive, far better than I had expected. The range of effects is excellent too, I recognised my favourite Boss pedals and a good number of simulations of other well-known effects units in there. I don’t feel that I’ve had to compromise very much at all to reduce my kit. Some effects don’t quite give me what I had from my pedalboard, but that isn’t necessarily a negative as the sound is just different, no better or worse. I suspect that with a little more tweaking I’ll get what I want. Most people won’t notice the difference anyway. I can live with that.
Overall, I am very happy that I went ahead and bought the GT1. It does everything I need and well. It fits in the front pocket of a gig bag or in a backpack and the battery power means that I could even go busking or do open mics. Taking of battery power, I’ve had it running on batteries for about 6 hours up to now and they still haven’t died. Don’t know if that changes with continual use, I tend to use it mostly mains powered, but battery life seems to be good enough for most uses I could think of.
I already owned a Boss GT-1B (the bass version), so when I saw the GT-1 at a sub 15o price; well, what was I supposed to do?And, at this price, what’s not too like?
There really is a lot of very nice functionality in this little board (and even more to download). It can be a little awkward to access at times, but nonetheless, as a work flow, it proved simple enough to allow me to record an album of rock covers – all the guitar and bass parts – very quickly, with surprisingly good results i.e., pristine 24-bit audio, which mixes down to CD quality “masters”.
In summary, the Boss GT-1 board is very effective and equally efficient. Definitely highly recommended, in particular for home use as an FX board and/or an audio interface. It’s just a pity that my playing isn’t as praise worthy but, hey; you can’t have everything, right?
Bought this as a replacement for my GT10 that unfortunately had two of the dials broken off, so decided to put the repair cost money towards a new unit. Turns out I have made a good move as the tones available are much better quality, the beauty is that you can feed straight into a PA or line array without needing to drag a amp around and nobody knows any diffrent or cares except for some guitarists. Great for every situation from home use to studio to live performance. Build quality is excellent and its definitely worth the price tag. It is something that you will have study to enable you to get the most out of it but will elevate your performance standards(in the right hands). I have other separate boss stomp boxes that I think I can link up in series with the unit as well, glad I bought it.
Mi sobrino de 15 aos pudo operarla sin problemas y est feliz. Buena compra
Very compact without being too small to use. Definitely not well suited to gig use (though not impossible). Probably only really a handful of different effects, but HUGE scope to create an infinite number of combinations with them all.
Perfectly useable via it’s own interface (ism a little clunky), but patches can be more easily managed by connecting to a PC and using the freely available Boss software.
Also works as an audio interface, so in combination with some third party audio work station software, you can make digital recordings of your efforts.
A very cost-effective way ofvyrying lots of different effects in one compact package.
Also, Boss after sales support was excellent. I had a problem connecting to my PC and I had one to one email support until it was resolved (which turned out to be the fault of my USB cable – nothing to do with the GT1B itself). I was really impressed with that.
Looks great. Sounds great. Everything is very good quality. My version 2 unit has new amps and effects. All very good. I love my GT-100. I will never need another guitar processor. Great value for money.
Muy buena calidad de sonido y el precio Excelente , me gust mucho , lo recomiendo.
It didn’t find it particularly easy to use at first and the instructions aren’t great. But with the assistance of some useful YouTube videos and some time invested, I got to grips with it! Sound quality and effects are outstanding. Great value for money and I wish I’d bought one years ago.
Lots of tone possibilities in a compact, easy to use pedal! The stock tones give you almost everything you need. I’m just starting to customize and create new tones. The interface is simple and the software is intuitive.
I brought this because I have a very cheap bass guitar and wanted to make it sound good, it did just that!
Worth the money and very simple to use.
Easy to use, sound good, can not fault it with my fender guitars etc
Good product well laid out very comprehensive solid construction well priced.
Cumpli con lo que esperaba se siente de buena calidad y buena calidad de sonido, solo le falta incluir el cargador…
Todo perfecto, la caja en buenas condiciones y bien en tiempo de entrega.
Esttica.
Es muy pequea, mucho ms de lo que imagin, eso me gust. La pedalera se ve muy bien, no me encanta la base color prpura pero tampoco se ve mal. Lo dems tiene un color gris casi negro con acabado mate. Cuando prende se ve increble con las luces led.
Materiales.
Es un metal que parece resistente y de buena calidad. Los botones y switches son de plstico, as como el pedal de expresin. Sin embargo es un plstico muy resistente. Los switches se juegan un poco, osea que se mueven fcilmente. No s si a la larga eso sea malo. Yo tengo varios meses con ella y no he tenido problemas.
Funcionalidad.
El tamao es excelente para transportar ya que cabe en casi cualquier maletn, funda e incluso en unos estuches de guitarra. Sin embargo, si no se es cuidadoso o quienes le den uso muy rudo a sus cosas como pisar muy fuerte yo creo que est pedalera podra sufrir estragos.
Sonido.
Cuenta con la tecnologa COSM de emulacin que tienen otras pedaleras de Boss como la Me-80 y la Gt-100. As que suena muy bien. Me gustan los efectos y los parmetros que se pueden controlar, eso la hace muy verstil.
Operacin.
Editar en la pedalera la verdad tiene su grado de complicacin por el tamao tan pequeo de la pantalla y los botones no tienen las indicaciones muy claras. Sin embargo te acostumbras. Lo mejor es descargar el Boss Tone Studio gratuitamente de la pgina de Boss, ya que as se edita mucho ms fcil en la computadora.
Es un producto bastante recomendable.
The pedal is fantastic Boss is the best, great variety of sounds all you will need easy programming swell/wha wha/ pedal very happy recommend.
It is excellent. Really high quality boss product for an affordable price. Just be ready to really study and understand how the pedal works. If you’ve had other similar multi effects pedal before you won’t have any trouble.
This is a really solid piece of kit and the effects are amazing. There is a huge range of effects to play with if you use it in manual and set the knobs.
But it really comes into its own when you use the presets and downloads from Boss Tone Studio. By selecting sounds you can go from Beatles to Hendrix to Oasis sound profiles in seconds. It brings a whole new dimension to practising.
It was quick to learn how to use, easy to set up and great value compared to individual pedals.
It’s the Batman utility belt of multi effects. Gives you reliable, clean as a whistle quality tones galore. Once you know the pedal order of the effects banks (which is slightly counter-intuitive to its footswitch layout) then pedal stacking within the ME 80 and either side of it becomes a thing of joy. Thousands of tone combinations, moods and flavours. The tuner, noise suppressor, volume/expression pedal, wah, stereo outputs, boosts, delays and EQ are worth the price alone…and then you’ve got all the effects! The only snag is that the reverbs are much more limited than the other effects banks so I’ve added a stereo reverb pedal to go after it in the signal chain, and use fancier overdrives going in to it some of the time. But basically, for the price it’s a no brainer core component of a pedal board if you’re into the whole no fuss thing.
Great introduction to guitar effects, There are enough features to tinker with and it plugs up to my iMac and I can download more. Great wah pedal too
Love this piece of kit, and easy to use and store great sounds, most of the presets are great sounding brilliant for the price.
Only thing it is so small that it looks like a toy, I am using it in a rock covers band to replace the GT-100 I used to use and it is much easier to carry around.
If you need real customisations then go for the Gt-100/1000, but if you need a few decent sounds then I recommend this over the more expensive boards.
Just the job for anyone needing excellent sounds for their electric guitar and easy to use
Done my research prior to purchasing the Boss GT-1 and also watched various people demonstrate the item.
It seemed an ideal addition to my armoury of guitar bits and pieces whilst u try and realise my dream to learn to play guitars.
Found it easy to use straight out the box and am having fun on my journey..
Would recommend this to anyone whether like me a novice or a seasoned player, great fun and very portable.
Excellent in all respects. Fairly sturdy and ok for solo performer, though if you’re a pop band with people wandering around the stage then you may want the G100 which is huge and built like a tank. In terms of sounds and patches there’s no difference.
Los presets que traen de fbrica no sacan todo el potencial de la pedalera e incluso llegan a sonar muy “digitales”. Si esto es un asunto serio para ti puedes buscar la Zoom G3XN o G5N. He ledo que trae mejores presets de fbrica.
Sin embargo creo que le debes dar una oportunidad si te gusta editar y crear tus propios sonidos o presets. Viene cargada de buenos efectos desde los bsicos como Chorus, delays, reverb, overdrives y distorsiones hasta compresores, pitch shifters, phasers, univibes.
Es una pedalera que puede ser muy intuitiva pero a la vez muy compleja si te vas ms a fondo lo que es bueno porque tiene mucho potencial para la creacin de tonos. He encontrado funciones “escondidas” o no tan mencionadas en reviews como cambiar el sonido de pastillas single coils a humbuckers.
Tiene un looper muy bueno, el pedal de expresin puede usarse desde un wah hasta un whammy. Adems cuenta con entrada de AUX y salida para audfonos. Hubiera estado excelente si contar con Bluetooth pero es una pedalera de 2016.
Vienen cuatro bateras AA incluidas pero yo recomiendo comprar un eliminador de corriente. Aqu en Amazon venden uno muy bueno a buen precio: el D’Addario PW-CT-9V y funciona sin problemas.
En conclusin creo que es una pedalera enfocada ms a los efectos que al modelado de amplificadores (lo cual hace bien en la mayora de los casos). Del 1 al 10 Le dara un 9.5 a los efectos y un 8 al modelado de amplis. A medida que pase el tiempo ir actualizando mi resea.
Easy to use” the effect tone is very nice..thank you amazon…
I also bought a cheap 2 button toggle pedal to allow me to have 2 CTL switches and a tap tempo on the delay.
Out the box it sounded a bit harsh on my trace acoustic amp but with some tweaks to the master EQ it sprang into life.
Delays are nice and varied.
Reverbs are OK, would have liked to have been able to have the reverb as loud as the dry signal for some volume swell effects.
The acoustic processor brings some nice tonal adjustments and with the right tweaks, it makes your guitar sing.
Programing on the unit is straightforward if you are used to these kinds of units and you can also assign the 3 rotary knobs to almost ant effect parameter for live tweaking.
There are also 4 assignment controls per patch that can be used in conjunction with the CTL and expression pedals to manipulate effect parameters like toggling long/short Reverbs without changing the patch and having harsh cut offs.
The chorus is also very nice, which is expected from a boss unit.
The pitch shifter is a bit pants, very warbly on clean sounds, passible when using distortion/OD.
The other modulation effects all sound fantastic, particularly the rotary speaker.
Using my electric, the amp sims sound great as do the various distortion/overdrives.
The editing software for the PC is very user friendly and is great for learning all the tweaks you can apply using the assignments.
Build wise it ferls quite sturdy and it should be able to last a good few years of playing.
Overall I’d say this is a great wee unit, but the 2 extra toggle pedals are a must to unleash its full potential.
If you are looking for a budget multi effects but not a budget sound, this has it in spades.
very easy to use,good instructions,can make a wide variety of sounds using in built patches and editing them. very good tool for guitarists who are particular about sound.
This is so easy to use. Plug it in and use the dial to select the pre-set sound you like and play immediately. You can also set up to 99 sounds of your own. The range of possibilities is huge so you can create warm clean sounds, dark and heavy, bright and scratchy. I’ve created half a dozen with the wah set on so I don’t need to click it. All with different tones including delay. You can set up this device to any band you want if you mix and match the choices. Worth every penny.
so ive never had ar multi effects peddle nor can i afford to spend a lot of individual pedals at the moment and I went for this little beast after seeing a lot of decent reviews and I love it. its easy to use and has a lot of great functions and sounds. I mainly got this for the wah pedal and the looper and ive not regretted it.
my only slight disappointment is it doesn’t have a metronome but I just use the one I have on my phone.
anyone considering this you should definitely buy it. i looked at other options at less than 100 and although they are great little machines the reviews on a lot of them suggest they break easily and have a large amount of poor effects.
you can go online and search for tone you like and easily input it into the machine and play away or go indepth and tweek everything.
go buy it 🙂
Brilliant effects unit small and easy to use also able to use tone studio a very good buy
Some great effects, much better than my previous very dated multi effects pedal.
I’m blown away by the Boss GT-1. Easy to use and sounds fantastic.
This is my first time buying a BOSS effects unit and I am very impressed with the sounds and useability, particularly when linked to my PC with the excellent BOSS Tone Studio software.
It also acts as a high quality USB recording interface so perfect for home studio use.
Highly recommended!
Make sure that your windows10 is up to date otherwise the Boss Tone Studio software will not detect the GT1, if you use this application. Prior to the windows update the GT1 was not detected by the Tone Studio software. There was a Roland GT1 windows update which rectified the problem.
The GT! is an AWESOME piece of kit and MEGA value for money.
Purchase a straight amplifier (new or old) with no bells and whistles and add the GT1 between your guitar and the amplifier . The effects are out of this world. Everything is in one package, even a guitar tuner so you do not have to purchase individual pedal boxes. The only thing that I did not like was the size of the expression pedal, its ok but if you have big feet then this may be a problem. You can purchase a full size EV-5 expression pedal and plug it into the back of the GT1 to rectify this or you may have to adapt your foot to the small pedal on the GT1.
The unit is built to a very high standard with quality switches and controls on a metal deck with a plastic back. The unit uses 4 x aa batteries or a boss power adapter.
Highly recommended for either the amateur or even pro guitar player.
Loads of fun….probably best for home use and not for gigs although it could be gigged at a push. 99 pre-set sounds which are Read-only and another set of the same which can be written over. Like most effects processors some of the sounds are very similar to one another and others are just plain awful but if you persevere you will find a quite a few excellent ones and even if you just keep 4 or 5 of the best this unit is good value and unlike individual pedals you can alter parameters until the cows come home. My wife also loves this GT-1 as she has hardly seen me since I got it – I have squirreled myself away in the man cave for weeks while I look for the perfect overdrive/distortion/sustain,chorus and delay to name but a few.
It’s very handy having presets that are on ROM because it’s too easy to spend a long time adjusting a sound and then deleting it accidentally it when writing it to the RAM as it can be confusing depending on exactly what you’re trying to do as there are 3 options however as mentioned it’s great fun if a little frustrating at times. The operating instructions are detailed yet possibly not as straightforward as they might be and it took me a long time to get to the nitty gritty but the basics can be mastered reasonably quickly.
Build quality is OK only with the top being metal and the underside plastic. I don’t think the GT-1 will take much abuse and I definitely do not like the input/power combined jack at all. This jack will get more use than necessary as it replaces an off/on switch and it is flimsy and is definitely the Achilles heel of the GT-1 and great care is needed as this jack is soldered directly on to the circuit board (as are all the others) and that’s not such a great idea as any knocks are
potentially likely to damage the board – not just the jack.
Overall though this unit is great value for amateur use and did I mention that it’s fun and does indeed produce some really excellent results.
I love the sounds are amazing it’s very easy to record with and I use this to practice guitar late night without being heard by next door it a stand alone unit so the sounds come from the device leaving the computer free to just record. I am thinking of getting the gt1 for next guitar exam
Simply Brilliant Sound Design – portable and a computer interface too!
Gave this to my son-in-law for his birthday! I’ve become a very, very popular mother-in-law! He raves about it!
Excellent little pedal board amazing sound. Well built sturdy pedal board. Very versatile. Money well spent.
Bought for my son’s birthday – he seems over the moon with it!
Bought as a gift…….really pleased with the item,price and service.
However it’s sounds can be a bit the same sometimes. Really hoping over time it will get easier and will add lots to my music hobby.
Am pleased with it.
I had a few issues: this is very complicated to use in detail. The computer software is a pain in the ass. It takes a very long time to load up, and requires the installation of Adobe air which itself is horrible. It seems loading or saving from the unit takes quite a few seconds, so you wouldn’t want to, say, save a whole bunch of variations of one sound, to different patches, in quick succession.
Also I have had weird issues when using the controls on the unit itself. Sometimes if I switch from one patch to another using the unit, it will introduce a significant delay to the signal via USB, almost 1 second. It seems this can be overcome by disconnecting the USB connection and reconnecting, but that’s disappointing.
The unit does not come with a USB type B cable, which, for the price, is annoying. Okay, they’re cheap cables available anywhere, but why not put one in the box?
Also, despite having both guitar and mic (XLR with phantom) inputs, you cannot use both at the same time. It would be fine for recording guitar, then recording voice, but not simultaneously. I was very disappointed to read a highly misleading answer in the Amazon questions section which implies this is possible when it’s not. Technically… Technically, the answer does not state that using both inputs at the same time is possible, but not many people are going to suss that out, the way the answer is worded. It does state clearly in the manual that this is the case, but come on, the manual is huge and it’s not reasonable to expect every customer to read the entire thing before a purchase.
The sheer wealth of options here is amazing, but I’d be hard pressed to recommend editing or manipulating sounds with the unit. You really need the USB interface on the computer for this. You have a full stack simulation including two preamps that can be switched on or off independently and even used at the same time together.
200 preset patches, and space to store 200 more of your own making, plus the ability to switch your 200+200 with a totally different set you saved using the software. There is also a huge amount of community patches available online through the software, but again, the use of Adobe air is questionable because it takes forever to load these. Plus, load any patch and you can edit it any way you like, adding more reverb, delay, crunch, a harmonizer or whatever you need.
This is definitely not entry level. If you want a “push button, get nice effect” unit then there’s much more affordable, less fussy options. But for the price, it’s hard to see how it’s not a massive benefit having the power of an entire stack and a whole bunch of FX pedals bundled into a unit that fits nicely on a desk or in a backpack.
8 pedals in a box! Just what an old school guitarist needs.
Fantastic new product from BOSS, great sounds, easy to setup, particularly with the boss tone central software. Lots of good usable sounds preprogrammed.
The processing power of this unit is seriously impressive. The competition like the Zoom units can’t get close on this front. You can for example have an amp model, a synth effect, an octaver, a drive effect, a pedal wah, a noise suppressor, a reverb and a delay all at once. Sometimes there are two of those effects in the Zoom B3 that can’t be done together, let alone with everything else. Things like the overtone effects used to create a pipe organ type effect are massively more convincing than the Zoom equivalent too (probably due to the processing power).
If you really want more than one drive unit stacked together on your bass (and an amp model won’t suffice) then that is one area the Zoom units are good at. I can’t say that’s a likely thing for me, but could be for you. I’m certainly concerned about having a better octaver and other such effects, as well as a foot operated wah (several type thereof) switched like a normal wah into an active preset. Oddly, although I’d probably say I prefer the Zoom distortion effects on guitar, I prefer the Boss ones on bass. I want more ‘edge’ or ‘grit’ on bass, and something tidier on guitar. Neither make really compare to my chosen guitar drive units (modded TS-9 and H&K Tubeman).
I am using this with an Eden WTX264 head and two MarkBass cabs (New York 1×15 and Traveller 2×10 both with HF) and a 6 string bass.The sound quality is again surprisingly good for the price when you consider the staggering number of effects options in there. The synth effects track reasonably well (you’ll have to spend more than this entire unit on nothing but that in one pedal to get notably better) and are certainly usable.
The killer with this over a few separate pedals I already owned is programmability, and the quick option to control almost any parameter with the pedal or control switch (additional switches or an expression pedal can also be added). This means a variety of different distortion/fuzz effects for different tracks, and some rather extraordinary effects (like an organ simulation) that I’ve not found the ideal spot for yet! (EDIT: I have now!!)
Do note the lack of power supply when ordering (I already had something appropriate), but other than that, buy and enjoy! I find the more I play with it, the happier I get. Use the Boss ToneCentral app if you can, it’s super easy to use and only improves the fun.
Loving this fx pedal. Great sounds…neat online downloads…works good for jobs…seems very solid. I use it for classic rock and country and it meets all my needs.
Quite complicated to setup though !
Just… WOW
I’ve yet to fiddle around with any settings at all, I just use the pre-installed patches and have an absolute blast. Some fantastic sounds, all amazing quality, really really good value for money.
The software is very easy to use & experiment with – I’m no youngster being nearly 50 years old 🙂 so I need something intuitive & this thing is great.
Excellent!
I’ve tried to give you a real world view of the GT1. Last week I thought I’m taking too much stuff I need to go small, I looked and found this and I was blown away. Size, Price, and Qualty are all 5 stars when you think that I haven’t even scratched the surface of this thing e.g. Looper, easy and deep editing GT 100 sound engine. If like me you want someone to start a great sound and tweak it to taste or you are a pedal head and you can go really deep -and with this thing you can, especially easy when you leave the screen and use the software – then I can – as you might have guessed by now – fully recommend this Boss GT 1 to you. Oh and there is a liveset dedicated to the shadows so I can sit in my studio and be hank for fun!
Buy it you won’t regret it.
Excellent bit of kit, easy to programme and set up, small and portable but be aware that there is no power adapter included, batteries only.
Seller I bought from (West End Music – Ipswich) supplied a free BOSS PSU but it also comes with a set of AA batteries, so can be powered up immediately from them if you do not have a PSU. Simple to use tuner using the footswitch lights so can be easily seen & tuned on-stage. Many immediately useable patches built in (unlike many units which seem to have loads of patches there just to show off the extremes of the unit rather than supplying real world useable patches). Using it through combo amp, direct to mixer/PC & headphones the sound quality is excellent, clear & no hum/buss from unit.
As I said only had it a couple of days but it’s looking like a great unit at a very reasonable price. Looks like I can sell most of my other foot & rack units as this covers (with as good or better sound quality) most of them in one compact unit.
Highly recommended.
I have a Boss GT-10 which is fine but too big for me at home. This GT-001 is ideal for my desk. The sounds are fantastic too. To my ear they are better than the GT-10. Would have preferred metal rather than plastic sockets but hey they have to make more profit. My GT-10 is all metal – the proverbial tank with metal connectors. Whatever nothing is perfect. Thing is it’s fun to use.
Great product and a natural progression from my ME50. Thank you Boss and Amazon.
Bought for my 18 year old son….he’s more than impressed with it.
Getting to grips with it. I think its very good for the price and good sounds from it.
Absolutely fantastic system. Would recommend this before others twice/three times the price. Boss have done it again . .
I really liked this pedal board, it was small, thin, light and well built. I would loved to have kept it, however it didn’t do what I thought, and needed it to do, so I had reluctantly to return it. It’s a pity that Boss could not have made the ME25 with almost the same spec.
Wow, much better than any effects pedal I’ve had before, and I’ve been through a few.
Good value for money if you do not need a GT 100 to take up space.
Look out for the Boss GT 1 when it comes out shortly,because it it basically this with pedals for about 165.
A good buy.
Roland always produce good products and this is no exception,can recommend for home use or studio through active monitor speakers in stereo.
Loads of preset sounds and plenty online and they need tweaking to suit you it is very simple to edit the sounds through computer or the unit itself.
I have had a lot of multiffects units over the year and find this one perfect for my needs. Great tones, takes up very little room on the desktop, comes with editor and library software plus a whole load of new tone patches online from the Boss Tone Centre.
However, I could not get windows the 10 driver working and Roland/Boss UK sent me the setup files, (admitting there are problems for some with w10)which consequently crashed my Laptop and I spent over 3 hours on the phone to my PC support sorting it out. I am sticking to Windows 7 for the moment as this unit and my other equipment and software and drivers are fine under it.
Seems a lack of mention from anyone about runnning the GT-001 under windows 10, I can’t be the only one having problems.
The seller was as helpful as he could be and I got a speedy delivery of the item. Less one star coz of the w10 problem.

The unit is incredibly solid – this is made for proper gigging. What else do you need to know – well, the power supply is an add on. You don’t get it in the box. Shocker – and costs 20 quid, but bite the bullet as you will spend more on batteries. The patches that ship seem a little rich on distortion and delay etc – I don’t get the sense of a ton of flavours to suit a lot of styes – it’s heavy on the rock sounds with more than a hint of spandex. However tone central is full of patches so a minor issue. Playing in manual mode though is revealing the quality of the effects one by one – i.e. as if it’s serially attached stomp boxes. But it will take a while to master however it is pretty intuitive.
Very versatile tool for all guitarists. Would have liked some more ambient sounds on the presets as i’m lazy but it’s very easy to create your own. Recommended.
I have the GT-100, but too big for desktop useage, so i purchased the GT-001 and its perfect for trying new settings and tones on your desk.
For the money its a nice bit of kit.
Birthday present
Astonishing amount of effects
Easy to use
Well worth iy
absolutely love this unit ,especially 4 cable method with an fx loop but even on its own its grea
Sounds great. Perfect for the living room rock god. Being able to run off batteries is also really handy. Why buy loads of effects pedals when you can have everything in one unit.
Also works great as a DAW. Garageband works exactly as you would want with it.
This pedal is all i will ever need, basicly everything you could ask for
has a more raw authentic sound than the gt 10
Received promptly and very happy with the Boss Gt-100. Very versatile, lots of interesting options and relatively easy to set up and play.
Lots of good video reviews with tips on YouTube, the only slight downside is that the product is driven off a 2-pin mains adapter, meaning there is the potential for floating ground noise problems between the amp & pedal. Boss do provide a grounding point on the case, but it would seem to me that using a full 3-pin adapter and power cabling would have got around the issue.
