Boss Chapter 2: GT-100 Amps, Speaker Sims, Mic Choice & Placement

[@Shivamkhandelwal]

This is one of the best demonstation video of the unit. Also an inspiration for all the lazy people out there who want readymade presets to find their dream tone.. This is how you build a tone. Cheers!

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Shivam khandelwal thanks MAN! wow what a great comment.

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Mark Jones haha! fair enough dude, each to their own! :)

[@Rizqi1010]

I have been using Boss GT-100 for about 3 years and never tweak the EQ setting like you did in this Video. Thanks for sharing this, I will try to do some EQ tweaking on all my favorite patch.

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Thanks man! A Little "Engineering" trick, glad it works for you guys too!

[@niall2236]

Genuinely learned more from this video than i have from reading the manual repeatedly and reading online guides for the last 2 weeks. thanks man

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Fantastic man!!

[@naregsahakian1148]

Great job man 🤘🏼 even BOSS couldn’t explain it better

[@alkandor]

i was searching for this information for 3 days. you are our saviour

[@therealjackfisher]

I used this unit for 3 years. At first for a long time I didnt have my sound dialed in because it have so many cabs, mics and settings it took me at least 15 months to learn what is what. Killer sound, and this unit is cheap. New firmware update comes with Guitar to MIDI so you can use your guitar as a midi controller. You can use the pedals as a midi controller and probably allot of things I am still not aware of. It can reamp. It have 2 outputs in USB port so you can record your effects from one input and DI input on the other. It have a very good audio interface. Plenty of signal in the volume knob. It is a small unit you that you can turn up to insane volumes with its volume knob wich is very impressing. I guarantee you it have more output then any amp can take without clipping, that is if you turn it all the way up, as it all can be adjusted. It takes time to learn as this unit can do insane ammounts of things.

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Same for the 1000 gotta spend 1.5 years to master and then you still learn. I spent good time with 100 and it was my got to sound for a long time.

[@umarustrings]

Thank you for this! I didn't know how to craft my tone. I'm starting all over again. Worth it. 😁

[@JaredGunstonTV]

I am glad my technique works for you :)

[@thomasschweiger8533]

Very helpful! I wonder why Boss doesn't make Videos like this. They should pay you a lot! Its hard to look all these KZbin Videos till you find some like this! Good job, thank you a lot...and perhaps some more?

[@agalue]

dude!!!! first of all REALLY THANKS!!!! that helped A LOT just one question ... do you have the pedal directly connected to a PC or though an amp? ... amazing sound didnt know about that "Q" thing filter!

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Fantastic! Direct in, no amp. :)

[@AnthonyRouneau]

+ToneYardMusic Wow amazing ! You just convinced me to buy it ! For a direct output, the Hi Gain sound is insane !

[@therealjackfisher]

Thats what most people do when they search for amp sound they like, but I found a better method. Scrolling through the presets or amps and speakers is time taking. There are many presets, many amps and speakers, so what I started doing is not choosing any of them at all. Not even amp or speaker cab. This is cosm amp, and it can do its own amp sounds and speaker cab sounds. Completely custom. Try playing with custom amp and custom cab option to quickly get a killer tone. You will find yourself making great sounds faster, and spending more time on playing them rather then searching for them and tweaking to your own needs with EQs and this type of stuff..

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Fair and valid point. For me I find using this method I learn the types of amps and the possibilities of each. And in my line of work I have to know how to dial up a specific tone type etc so having that knowledge before hand helps me. Thanks for your point though I'm sure it can help some!

[@rodolfosrb3868]

Amazing video!! Never used the loop to create the patch... fantastic!! I normally use the output to small cube... As I use one of them... so I can't change cabinet and mic... do you recommend changing to line even using amps? Thanks a lot!!!!

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Rodolfosrb thanks!! I recommend line/phones yes. Running 1 to your amp and another to the PA. That way you can make studio quality sound out front and eq your amp to please you.

[@chadt5584]

Hello. Thanks for the video. When setting up a patch like this do you use headphones, studio monitors, or what? Did you ever post this patch anywhere? Do you ever change the Input Level from the default "0" setting? Thanks again.

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Studio Monitors. I sometimes adjust my global noise suppression level depending on which guitar I use. :)

[@tukoramirez8478]

Cool, thanks 👍

[@moochierocks]

Can you tell me if the Gt 100 can have as many stomp units in front of the amp or even after as you like... i.e Two EQ's , two OD or Three T screamers if I wanted that......... Great vid by the way..

[@therealjackfisher]

EQ on that thing is the weirdest thing I ever touched. It sure can do some weird tones, but it is easier to use graphic EQ. I avoid the EQ on my pedal.

[@foto21]

I'm too lazy, This is not in the ballpark of my pedal and amp though I wish it was conveniently so. AT 12:12, things sound a lot better though, probably with the bass in there.

[@malymoon2214]

in english lol : i record my effects loop and I read it but when I change an amp or an effect the sound remains the same. help me !!!! thanks

[@Watzline]

I can't understand why someone makes instruction videos without talking, , explaining why, what for, adjustments, steps, moves being applied are doing, causing, what knobs control what functions, parameters. Guess I missed that in First Video? Some insight explanation would be helpful. But I will watch, probably rewatch may understand better, make notes. Receiving GT 100 today, and have to get prepared quickly. Thank You.

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Hi! That was my second video so I was new to the whole KZbin thing. There's talking on my newer videos. Guess you could say the musician channels of today weren't around when I started so had no point of reference yet 😂

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Not that they weren't around... Just hadn't discovered that whole world yet. Was going blind. ✌️

[@joshuajames1728]

Im using a mesa boogie 4x12 and an evh 5150. Ive got my gt100 running through the fx loop of the amp to my liking. I got a great sounds i just wanna add like an ir or something similar to the mooer radar...is it more practical to just use the built in mic placement sim inside of the gt100? If i have a physical 4x12 cab and speakers that i love..do i use the speaker simulation as well? Or should i just use the mic sim? Also do i need to place the mic sim in my signal chain or does it just go automatically when its active

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Hello! Well... in my honest opinion, if you're using it for Fx and or Amp Control, I used to do the same with a Hughes & Kettner Warp X head and 4x12 cab and I'd just turn the amp section off, play around with output settings though to get the cleanest sound for your setup, Honestly I used to leave it on RECORDING but a lot of guys moan about tone on this setting, vs the Lines or Amp Return Setting, Actually come to think of it... I got good results on the Small Combo vs Stack Return... just have a play and you'll see. If you want to add IR what would you be using it for? To change out your cab sound ? Not best to maybe look at a load box and a IR loader. ? Otherwise running 4 cable method you could achieve different tones to your cabinet if setup correctly. (I THINK!) Short answer: You don't need the Mic Sim and or Amp slot in use is you are using your Head and Cab. Unless you wanted to add a secondary drive/Over Drive or Clean tone into your mix.

[@JestersTear1]

Great video. I love the Orange Reverb amp at 12:52 - do you have the patch or patch settings available?

[@JaredGunstonTV]

+JestersTear1 Yeah that's the amp tone I like to use most of the time... Since this video I've really smoothened my tone. I'll definately be sharing. I'm also submitting to Boss Tone.Studio. Let's hope i get it!

[@JestersTear1]

Great news :)

[@cistysaigon]

Question - is it possible to run the cab sim on GT-100 separately for left and right side, lets say I want to put the left output in my power amp without cab sim and the right output to my drummers monitoring system with cab sim? Thanks

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Martin Javorek I used to ask the same thing and in all honesty it sounds the best to me set to line/phones

[@charlesmagno28]

I currently have boss me-25. is there a huge difference in sound quality? I dig the lcd screen and looks easier to tweak than the smaller me25. let me know. tech noob here

[@JaredGunstonTV]

asdf asdasf hey! Much easier to tweak yeah. The new gt1 is the replacement for the Me25 with this sort of programming and software. personally I prefer the gt range.

[@therealjackfisher]

I am wondering, if this feature is even usefull when I already play on an amp with speakers. I can go through FX return and use cab sims, but the mic pos and speaker cab sim option just confuses me to the extreme.. Should I even use this? I think its for recording via USB only, but then why the hek I can turn it on and off while I play on an amp? When choosing preset I always have to check if speaker cab sim and mic pos are on because it kinda make no sense in having these on and the difference in sound is big.

[@JaredGunstonTV]

It's for recording out yes, but great for designing your tone on stage too should you not have an amp and if you do use an amp pop it in the fx return and it will help enhance your tone. If it isn't for you though and you not using the mix section I assume you using amp drive and tone and pedal as an fx centre?

[@mrs.googlay5898]

My friend (grasshopper) you have answered your own question. The good man simply showed us very nicely and very clearly how to utilize the powerful and flexible GT-100 in a pure virtual world. Enjoy your "real amp and speakers" my friend and practice your Brazilian Jujutsu rear-naked choke in the meantime. Cheers!

[@JohnSmith-ry4rg]

Only tip I'd give on your playing is you need a deeper vibrato. Other than that, nice.

[@mjsa308]

Quick question, I just purchased an Audio Technica M40x headphones and I tried them on the GT 100, I can only hear the right side, is there any settings that I need to mess around to make both work?

[@madisynmincer7954]

I've had similar problems that stemmed from using the wrong 1/4" Jack adapter. The size and amount of the rings on the plug varies depending on whether it's mono, stereo, has built in mic etc. You should be using a stereo Jack (3 rings- L, R and GND)

[@madisynmincer7954]

Sometimes only plugging the Jack in partially can be a quick fix but it's usually pretty unstable

Hi just wondering. if you can help me with a quandary I have just got a new amp and struggling to hook up the GT100 and the SY300 I have the GT100! set up in the send and return but not sure how to hook up the SY300 in the chain any ideas will be appreciated....... Cheers.....

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Steven Louth hell8! i used to hook them up myself. guitar in to gt100, gt100 to return of amp, or input depending on what you like. gt100 fx send to sy300 input, sy300 output to gt100 fx return. use a midi cable if possible from gt100 to sy300 to control patches. now on the gt100 you can move the fx loop around, you can also choose to have it parallel or serial etc. enjoy!!

[@JaredGunstonTV]

whats also fun is to have a string sound fro, sy300, and run the fx loop in parallel. and use the expression pedal of gt100 as a volume for sy300. play clean tones and fade strings in and out.

[@stevenlouth9455]

cheers thanks for that .is there a way to hook it up via the 4 cable method I have tried it 4 cable method and then input gt100 into l/mono of sy300 then guitar out of sy300 input it worked but sounded awful .... thanks for the help

[@leandrosouza1981]

I'd like to know too.

+Leandro Souza thanks for the info man! lets try a keyboard amp then.. :)

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Hey guys! A nice valve is nice like a kettner. But usually live I'm just using a set of monitors. No acoustic foot print etc. :) I agree on the keyboard monitor, try it!

[@xaviiJavi]

If Using a valve amp, you should go with the "4 cable method", throught the effects send/return of your amp. after that match the gt 100 output to the Best configuration regarding the type of amp you are Using. example: if you have a combo amp, you should choose tthe same type on the gt 100 's output

I dont know why whenever I watch gt100 videos I feel this pedalboard is not QUITE better than my poor GT10. Probably it sounds a bit better, but I feel only a bit. It seems there is not such a superiority in the GT100.

[@JaredGunstonTV]

Hi. I went from the 10 to that and from that to a GR55 and a 1000. I think it's all down to preference man. I personally prefer a 100 to a 10 and a 1000 to a 100. But even last night people tell me I've never sounded better on my GR55 which is 10 amplifiers. As long as it does the job that makes you happy man!!
