Boss GT-1 - How To Go From Clean to Distortion

[@BiancaOnYoutube]

Why would anyone disliked this? I don't have the GT1 but watching your video, now I'm tempted to buy one.

[@GuitarNTabs]

You're the man, Jake's Media! :-) Thank you very much for your kind words! It's not bad being able to put such impact across in my video - yay! You should really get one, it's a great piece of gear and the tones are right on the spot! Thanks again, Jake! Have a great weekend & cheers :-)

[@tonymediati8274]

Jake MiXd I got one after watching all his videos and I am enjoying this pedal beyond belief.

[@nofi4]

why? the device is not the problem. the problem is this: "I got a new cool device for guitar-recording" ====> NORMAL HE ===> "yeh.... ehhhhhh....mmmh....i got...ehhhhhhhmmm. yeah.... a new... ehhhm..... ehhhhm ...yeah coool eeeeehm.... device......yeah... ehhhhhhm for.... eeeeeehmmm.... guitar... eeeeeeeeeeehm eeeeeeeeehm... yeah...eeeeeeeeeeehm....mmmmmmmmmmmeeehh.... eeeeeeeeeehmmm.... recor.... EEEEEEEH!!!! EEEEEHH!!! CORDING" No offensive... sorry but this is horrible to watch and have to stop... that makes me angry cause i would like to know more about my own device.. -__-"

[@GuitarNTabs]

nofi4, I really don't see the need for your tone in this case... I'm doing these videos because they help out people and because I enjoy it. If you feel that my videos are not helping, then send me an email, perhaps I can be of better assistance there..

[@tonymediati8274]

nofi4 if you want to know more about your device read the fucken manual if your not happy with someone who takes his own time to help us

[@jameshendee4489]

I just bought the GT-1 and before I did I watched a few of your videos. I am thinking this old school single pedal guy may have finally found a muklti-effects I can understand. Thank you for your awesome videos. I noticed on your KZbin page DOZENS of tutorials for this device... wow. That is partly what sold me on this unit. -- Usually when I go to KZbin about some device, its a REVIEW DEMO, not a tutorial. They go quick thru "this pedal does this, and this pedal does that" and never slow down and show you HOW. -- You've really made my day. I am 60 years old and have been playinf guiutar for over 40 years and I'm just not from the tech-pedal generation. Plus, I hate reading, of the 4 types pof learning humans do (text reading, demnonstration, lecture, etc) watching someone do it is the way I learn. I can't learn by sitting down with a "War and Peace" sized manual... forget it... I'll be sleeping in 3 minutes. Exactly why you'll probably never see me plugged in to a Line 6 anything. I wasn't born in a generation where the baby pops out of the womb with a cell phone attached to their head... We had rotary phone, then push button phones came along and it was the biggest thing since sliced bread. I was born in 1962... so I was 22 years old when they produced the first Apple home computer in 1984... And at about $5,000 in 1984 dollars or so, I couldn't possibly afford one. -- You have given me some of the best TUTORIALS I have ever seen on any device. God bless you for your efforts of all these excellent GT-1 tutorials. I've yet to see any multi effect with so many... Have a great day, you deserve it.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there, James. I'm very sorry for the late reply, I've been behind on answering comments... Thank you for your comment and kind words, they are greatly appreciated! I'm so happy to hear your story, and you made a great choice of going with the GT-1. You're right, there are many reviews for this unit out on KZbin... I skipped that part, and went straight for the tutorials, as I figured that's what people needed. I agree, it's always better to see how people do, for example through a video, and then try it out yourself. I hear you, too much tech right from the birth... it hasn't really done us any good, if we think about our younger generations... James, thank you, your kind words mean the world to me! You've just made my day, today! God bless you too and stay safe! Best regards!

[@damien6685]

After buying my GT-1 over a year ago, I'm back. My initial reaction was one of cranial overload and confusion. I've spent the past year learning what pedals actual do, buying a few, and getting my skill levels up. Hauling my GT-1 out of the box, this now makes sense. I'm so glad I saved your videos to a directory. I'm also so glad I didn't sell the GT-1 and buy too many pedals as I had no real idea at the time of the power of this little unit

[@GuitarNTabs]

Excellent, Damien! I'm really pleased to hear that! Indeed, the GT-1 can be overwhelming at first, but once you understand it, you won't be able to part with it! All the best. Cheers.

[@onesappleone]

I want to express my thanks for making these videos. I just got a GT-1 and your videos have helped me quickly learn everything I needed to know to have great fun with this unit. I think I have watched every one of our videos, some of them three or four times. Every time I watch one, I learn another helpful tip. Thanks again!

Thank you, as a beginner, I decided to bough my GT 1 because of your video tutorial, thank you again!

[@Havanacuba1985]

This video is excellent , the ability to assign functions to the CTL pedal and external CTL pedals makes it really adaptable . I think the pre amp sounds are very good from what I have heard on youtube demos, and have seen people play live gigs on here with them . I am definitely replacing my me 70 with one in the very very near future. Thank you for your video

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hey again, The Atomic Punk :-) Thanks for your comment! The assigns, and the possibilities they offer, are why I've been using Boss multi effects for years! I haven't, yet, found anything that comes close! Having the CTL1 onboard, and the option to add the FS-7, just gives that extra to it all! Easy to program and easy to navigate through, epsecially on stage! Also, the FS-7 won't run out of battery, like the old FS-6 would, hehe. The preamps and cabinets are great, really! I use the GT-1 live, through the PA, and the sound is great! I've been giggin' live with the GT-1 ever since I got it, back when it first came out! I've never looked back ;-) Good choice, I think you'll be very happy with that decision. You're more than welcome - any time! Have a great day :-)

[@johnmcminn9455]

@@GuitarNTabs yes ok I have one. so now is see your other video comparison of the Gt 1000 core. I have a question, so I see I can assign Ct1 2 and 3 but only have FX1 and 2 , does the core allow Fx 1 2 3 4 etc, in one patch if there is a desire to do something like Clean 12 string with chorus , to a distortion lead with octave and compression to do that on Gt 1 in one patch there would have to be an FX 3 for more modulation options

[@GuitarNTabs]

@@johnmcminn9455 - Hi! The GT-1 is limited to only 2 FX slots (FX1 and FX2) so it's a bit harder to get that to work. However, you can always switch between effects within FX1 and FX2, by using the Assigns. For example, you could start out with the FX1 being the Acoustic Simulator and FX2 chorus, then set up assigns to change the Acoustic Simulator to Compressor and the Chorus to Octave, when you switch parts for the song, play, etc. That's a way to go about it, with the GT-1. The GT-1000Core has a lot more, in regards to FX slots, so it's able to be a bit more complex and allow for more complex signal/effect routing. I hope this helps. Cheers.

[@johnmcminn9455]

@@GuitarNTabs thanks a lot! That is a good suggestion . I have an HX Stomp, by using the GT-1 I am becoming less afraid of it! I d k if the Gt 1000 core is similar with the foot switches, the Hx has a sensitivity for the buttons where as if you brush against one, it will go to a different function, I turned the sensitivity off. I actually thought the HX had a virus. the GT 1 is so logical. I like how the Easy Edit allows you to group your favorite patches together so you can access them in order . great videos, much like taking a college class , thank you!

I don't have a GT -1 , but looking in to it. Looks kinda hard in a way,but worth it once it could be navigated. I'm sure if I am able to acquire one, it'd be worth the investment. Good tutorial.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hey there, @Jody Sanders 😊 Thanks for your comment and kind words - I appreciate it. I'm sorry if this video gave you the wrong impression.. the GT-1 isn't hard at all to navigate, trust me. I've owned the GT-1 since it first came out, and it's truly an amazing piece of gear. I mainly use it direct to either my studio monitors, or to my band's PA, when playing live. I therefore use both the onboard effects and preamps/cabinets - they are splendid! Of course there's always a learning-curve, but the Manual is of help, and if you decide to get one, then I'd be more than happy to assist you as well - you just let me know 😊 The GT-1 has my highest recommendations, and I'm positive you'll be happy with it, if you decide to buy one! Please let me know if you have further questions, or comments, I'd be more than happy to help out. Looking forward to your reply. Best wishes.

[@ronyeahright9536]

I have a Digitech unit from like 20 years ago at least, that is very similar to this. I stopped using it because like this one, you almost need an engineering degree to know how to use it. I recently started using it again for something different, and its still just as hard to use, but there are some great tones to be found there. I hesitate to buy this one even though it looks like a great value, due to the complexity. But for those that have the time and patience, it looks great.

[@drexel11041]

These videos are incredibly helpful - thank you! Do you have any videos using the GT1 showing how to go from distortion to a lead? I am very curious to see your thought process on how you set up your lead channels.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Cheers, Chris! Thanks, man! I truly appreciate the kind words! Hmm, I actually don't think so.. Atleast not right off the bat.. Anyway, I can easily explain it here :-) Generally, when I need a lead/solo boost, and I already have an OD/DS pedal activated, I will simply assign one of the CTL footswitches to activate the OD SOLO-assign. What that will do is to give the activated OD/DS a boost in volume, a tiny bit gain and also a frequency boost. I use that ALL THE TIME, and I haven't found another feature that works better. It's simple to set up, easy to use and you're going to cut right through - it's as simple as that, really :-) Of course you could also fiddle around with the different EQ-parameters, but why do that, when the OD SOLO-feature is so much easier, and even better? :-) If you have an overdriven/distorted preamp activated as well, if you use one of the onboard preamps, then you can assign the PrA SOLO features, which will do the same thing as the OD/DS-SOLO, just for the activated preamp :-) The good people at Boos/Roland really thought this through - I really like it! :-) I hope this answers your question, but you're always welcome to ask further questions :-) Have a great one, mate. Cheers.

[@Havanacuba1985]

Hey man, thanks for the info below/above on how to set it for rhythm overdrive to lead solo. That was real helpful . This is one of the best videos I’ve watched so far that explains how to program CTL assigns in depth. I do not have the GT 1 at the moment , I have the Me70 but am going to sell the me70 as the sounds in the GT1 sound excellent for using live through a P.A . The pre amp models seem very good. Thank you for your videos. Best wishes ...... Paul

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hey there, The Atomic Punk :-) Thanks for your comment and the kind words - I appreciate it! I just think it's so important to know about the assigns, and what they can really do, because they will enable so much and make things much easier. :-) I would highly recommend getting the GT-1, without a doubt. The effects are superb and the preamps and cabinets are awesome! There're loads to choose from! I use the GT-1 through the PA, and my studio monitors, and they quality is excellent, and it stays the same, every time! That's what I like about a set-up like this - it's consistent! I really like the Clean Twin preamp model, with the 2x12 cabinet option - man, that's great for some clean stuff and even with the T-Scream overdrive infront! Add some reverb and delay to that, and you're in solo heaven! Let me know how it all goes, and feel free to get in touch, if you need anything! Best wishes, Paul & cheers!

[@drexel11041]

GuitarNTabs, when using the GT-1 through the PA at gigs, do you find yourself having to tweak the settings on your patches from venue to venue? I play some outdoor venues, then some smaller venues, and I'm finding that I have to constantly tweak my patches depending on the venue. But note, I am running the GT-1 through the front of the amp and not the FX loop or PA.

Excellent vids on the GT-1. You are the best. I have a question about the FS-7, I was wondering if it were possible to set up the FS-7 to work as the ‘up and down’ buttons (to scroll through my patches) instead of the ‘up and down’ buttons on the GT-1 itself? I haven’t been able to find info anywhere. Thanks for your time, Joey.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there, Thanks for watching, and thank you for leaving a comment. Sure, that can easily be done. Simply press the Memory Edit button, scroll to the end of the chain, find the CT2 and CT3 menus, and change their function. Then head to the PREF menu by pressing the MENU button, and set the function for the CT2 and CT3 to SYSTEM, instead of PATCH. Now this will enable the CT2 and CT3 to be scrolling your patches on all presets. I hope this helps. Cheers.

The set up and the look and everything just looks really, really similar to the boss me-25. I think they wanted to make it like that and bring the change only in looks.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there. Thanks for your comment. Meeh, I can't agree with that.. The GT-1 is nothing compared to the ME-25.. The GT-1 is basically the same engine as the GT-100, so the technology is newer and more improved than the ME-25. Atleast to me it has no similar features :-) Who knows, we can really only guess, hehe. Best wishes! Cheers!

[@mritorto1]

I just bought this . will these changes to the ctrl pedal just be affect by this patch created or will affect all presets. also did you ever consider the zoom g3 it seems a bit easier since it has the look of stomp pedals

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi again, Marc. Merry Christmas. Congratulations, you're gonna love this unit! I'd be of any help, if you need it, just let me know. You can change the global settings for the CTL. By default it's set per patch, so you can set up different CTLs and assigns on each patch. If you change the function to "System" it will be the same CTL/assigns on every patch. The great thing about the assigns, when set to "patch", are the possibility of having different settings on each patch. I hope this helps and makes sense. Best regards. Cheers.

[@brasellinocrasozzelli8946]

Very good job man!!! But is it possible to go from clean to distortion gradually using the expression pedal?

[@GuitarNTabs]

Thanks, Brasellino, I appreciate it! :-) Yes, that can be done, but it would require a good amount of assigns - especially if you want to change the preamps.. Perhaps you could find a medium preamp, then set the EXP pedal to control the gain of the preamp, and then have it set fairly clean, then engage the EXP to increase the gain. If you do that, do might want to keep and eye on the volume.. that would probably increase some.. :-) Hope this helps! Cheers! :-)

[@twwify]

These tutorials are awesome. Do you know how to make expression pedal 1 control volume and EXP2 control the pedal FX octave pedal ?

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there. I'm very sorry for the late reply, I've been behind on answering comments... I believe we answered this question on one of my other videos, but here's the reply again. The EXP2 can only be assigned to Volume, if you adjust it in its menu in the Signal Chain. However, you can set up other Assigns (A1 through A6) where you can use the EXP2 as well. In this case, if you don't mind, I would probably set up EXP1 to do the Wah and then EXP2 to do the Volume. Start by setting up the EXP2 to only do volume, like this: Press Memory Edit, then use Knob 1 to scroll through the Signal Chain, and then find EXP2, then press Enter. Set its FUNCTION from OFF to FOOT VOL, and that's all good. Next, press Exit to exit the EXP2 menu. Then scroll back a little, until you see EXP1, then press Enter. Then change its FUNCTION from PDL FX/VOL to PDL FX. Make sure to save your adjustments. I hope this helps. Let me know if you need anything else. Best regards.

How to assign. On my secon channel the third botton comes on. Then patch 3 the chorus comes on when I hit it twice. No body on KZbin showing how to assign different effects or tuner or looper.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi Night Days, I don't know what patches you're using, but they might be Factory Presets, where the CTL1 is set to do different things, as an Assign... You can always change that, in the Signal Chain, finding the CT1 icon, and pressing Enter, to enter the menu, and adjust the settings. I have several videos on how to Assign, they are here on this channel. Have a look at those, and let me know if you need any further help. I'd be happy to assist. I hope this helps. All the best.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there, Tony. That's great, I'm glad to hear that. You will have to adjust the Overdrive's volume parameter, so that it matches the signal, before the overdrive was activated. Toggle the overdrive on/off, and listen for the inconsistencies, and even them out. I hope this makes sense. All the best.

[@tonylenherr5724]

@@GuitarNTabs Hey, Thanks for replying to my question. My solution wasto make an assignment to the preamp volume level setting min to 100 and max to 40 so when the overdive is activated the preamp volume is reduced. When I first looked at the overdrive settings it was confusing. Gain, E.Level, D.Level I didn't know what to adjust so I just went to the preamp to do the volume control. I will try your solution when I get a chance. Best regards T.

[@GuitarNTabs]

@@tonylenherr5724 - Hi! You're very welcome, I'm always happy to assist. I'm glad you found a solution, but if I may, I would suggest something different, and "better" in terms of the signal chain and the dedicated level parameter for the overdrive. If you're happy with the overall level of the preamp, then set up the overdrive to your liking, and then toggle it on/off, and use the overdrive's volume parameter, to level out the inconsistencies. That would be the proper way. The best approach is to level each individual effect. Just wanted to give you my opinion, but do what works best for you. Please let me know if you need anything else. All the best.

may I ask why you use Cubase 5? I was using 8 then I bought 10 and found some of the features like studio EQ and a scrolling function in the event window were no longer there. fortunately Steinberg allows you to down load previous versions so if you buy 10 you could unlock 5 from their library if you wish. great work thanks so much!

Hey there what speaker or amp is connected to your gt1? I have a bugera v5 amp which has not 2 channel switch. I have to turn on the gain level for volume but it seems that increases the buzz. Do i have to simply use more noise gate? And in there i have to rise the threshold? Nice video.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hey there! Thank you for your comment and question. In this video I have the GT-1 connected to my laptop, via USB, for recording. Normally I run the GT-1 through studio monitors, headphones or a PA/Mixer. I use the GT-1 for its effects and preamps/cabinets - so I have no external amplifier with me. All the sounds are coming from the GT-1. Well, the noise gotta come from somewhere, right.. Whether it's due to poor shielding of your guitar and its pickups, or due to too much gain, and uncontrolled volume and gain-stages... I can see that the Bugera V5 amp has both a Volume and Gain knob, but does the volume only work when the gain is turned up? Or does the volume work with the gain knob all the way off?

[@mridulm89]

does this mean, if I have to switch from clean to overdrive and then require a solo boost, then I require one more control switch ?

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there, Yes, that would be the case. You only have one CTL onboard the GT-1, so to gain further access of assigns, you would have to connect a Boss FS-7 or FS-6 footswitch. I hope this helps. Cheers.
