Boss GT-10 ZZ-Top Tone Demo Video by Glenn DeLaune

[@BangStickky]

I appreciate your videos on the GT10. Very educational, not only for how to use the pedal board but also how to get the tone you are looking for. Thanks

[@CanDave]

Sweet sounds.. just picked up my GT-10 yesterday... really stoked about gettin into it. Thanks for sharing your vids!

[@alphasxsignal]

Nice work and thanks for showing us GT-10 owners some tips to program. I wish there was a DVD to learn more about the GT-10. Im going to checkout all your stuff patches etc.

[@pollywoggle24]

That's a whooooole lot of work to get that one tone man. But I'll tell you that's a very sweet sound, and spot on like Gibbons' man. This is the kind of work an artist will put in to paint his picture perfect.

[@shaboum]

Dear Glenn, many thanks for all your efforts. You assist all guitar player all over the world. Now I`m proud to say that I also be within the GT 10 family. The EZ Tone is really greate to find great tones in a short term. For sure, the EQ is often needed in addition to decrease especially the high (6.3-10 kh) and low frequency (< 100 hz).

[@blackfender100]

Just picked up a GT-10 for $100.00 I'm stoked with your instruction Thanks a mill.

[@sixstringbluesify]

That's a steal.

[@TramEFx]

hey man i just bought a gt10 and your videos have been a great help thnx!! awesome sound, your ear for a great tone is impeccable. good job and plz keep up the gt10 videos plz:)

[@Sweeper5]

Awesome Glenn! And all from righ there in Lafayette!? Freaking great man! Thanks for sharing these patches and the methods and logic behind them.

[@psofoss]

your videos is a pleasure to watch!! please do more videos for boss gt 10!!

[@kingsecho3351]

Awesome as always Glen! I love your technique of using a steel thumbpick 👍

[@javiceres]

Brilliant video , brilliant results.

[@trevinor3]

Fantastic video Glenn !!!

[@MikeyGee001]

Outstanding !!!!!!!!!!!! SOOO glad to have some BOSS GT vids. I love my GT and enjoy watching, learning and listening to all your vids PLEASE -- Keep up the great work (especially for the Boss Vids) Could you perhaps do a vid to show your GLOBAL setting and setups on your GT ? That would be awesome.

[@mwj5150]

Great Stuff Glenn! I was always hoping to see the EVH early type Brown sound demo. That is such a tricky tone to nail right on. You must have a very good knowledge of eq/frequency so that when you create tones, you probably already have an idea in your head where some of the values would be. That is the mark of a true professional. You Rock! Peace

[@Buzzjugs]

Another great demo.

[@shaboum1]

Part 1, Hi Glenn, first of all: thank you for the great videos and your efforts. Many years I play the POD and POD XT in my home studio and it sounds great, especially when I combine the modeller with tube preamps (e.g. tube factor etc.). But this belongs with regards to headphones and nice monitor speakers. The challenge is since years to get also a great and assertive sound in the rehearsal room, where you have to fight against real drums and Marshall-stacks.

[@manatarms]

Great Video! My Boss GT-10 is supposed to be delivered today!! I'm going to try your settings out and see how it sounds on my equipment! (Guitar: EB Axis, Full Range amp.)

[@KevinSmithdc]

At 8:10, I felt this irresistible urge to crank my speakers way up and I had this huge grin on my face. This video ROCKS!!

[@shaboum1]

Part 4, So what could you recommend?: 1. Better PA or a good active monitor for guitar only? Do you have experience? 2. Power amp and 4x12 speaker cabinet (then of course without speaker simulation) I am willing to spend money that is for sure. But in the moment I think it will be the best to go back to the roots. Marshall Amp+Chorus+Tube Screamer  done and ready!!! Only one sound but a sound.

[@GlennDeLauneOfficial]

Yes I have, I find the TS to be a little grainy and dark. The Bad Monkey has a more organic distortion and has more presence. That's just my opinion and some may disagree but that's my take on it.

[@figonapetter]

I've had the GT-10 for a while. I'm not a noob with playing but totally down the road with programing it. Your vids have given me good inspiration for which I'm thankful. Also totally LOVE watch you play, using that thumb finger pick. I connect via USB, (I get no sound from pc speakers, have to use amp for that, dunno why) but I can't seem to get the kind of tones/sounds you do. It's not all that bad but still a hughe difference.

[@GuitarManRivera]

Very good tone and job !

[@psychostew911]

Sounds awesome man !!!

[@GlennDeLauneOfficial]

It's easy, the send jack from the GT-10 goes into the input of your external pedal and the output of the external pedal goes into the return jack on the GT-10. The you have to turn on the S/R loop in the GT-10. I believe this is on a patch by patch basis so if you want to use it on all your patches you will have to manually turn it on on every patch and then save the patch. Then you can move the S/R loop around in the FX chain to the GT-10 to get the best sound.

[@MindofYǒng]

Thank you for sharing this, it's help me a lot to set the GT - 10

[@zazoomatt]

I still use mine Thx Glenn in 2020

[@flip3213]

great job showing us how to get great tones man!!!!

[@khalilhab]

I know. I have seen and rated them all! I meant could you record a demo video where you create one of your patches, such as the blues or metal ones. Just a thought. Loved your Zeppelin tribute, by the way. That was awesome!

[@glennpacheco575]

Hi Glenn you are truly inspirational i have a FV500 and want to connect to gt10 want it as my master volume pedal and the onboard gt10 pedla to be an expression pedal. Need guidance as i plug guitar jack output to fv500h input and fb500h output to gt 10 of thats the right pattern or please guide on the settings

[@BujoySeth]

That short delay is great.. it sounded like 2 guitars are playing together. Very nice tone :-)

[@LostLegacyNY_]

Much appreciated Glen.

[@ClawHammer23]

I´m fine, thanx... i got a Peavey Studio Pro 112, second hand but almost new, i did turn down all amp´s controls (bass, mid and treble) and my GT-10 sound great

[@GlennDeLauneOfficial]

Thank you for watching

[@guitarist100]

Glenn ,another superb tone !!!!!!!! just a pity we are not neighbours cheers from Scotland.

[@DoubleDrummin]

Nice video.! Could you be so kind as to answer a question for me? I bought the Boss GT-10 to get my son more involved in playing his guitar. It worked well with a little cheap fender amp. Lots of nice sounds were achieved. I have since bought him a better amp.Line 6 Valve MKII 212. Amp sounds really good, but adding GT-10 sounds like crap. Is using the GT-10 with this amp like taking a step backwards, or is there a way to hook it up for a better sound? Thanks for any help.

[@LostLegacyNY_]

Hi Glen, Great video. When you have time would you mind sharing the dimmensions of that rondo pedal case? Thanks Jorge

[@GlennDeLauneOfficial]

@userpipe It might be possible to put a pedal in the FX loop and then assign the FX loop on/off to CTL1. But then every pedal in the loop would be turned on so it might be better to just put them all in the loop and turn them on or off one by one. That's how I have it connected.

[@shaboum1]

Part 2, In my opinion totally different requirements. Maybe the X3 sound a little bit better for this requirement but no one (you too) test it really. It is also a shame that Line 6 or Boss still not offer a power amp/cabinet combination for this issue. Wouldn´t it be nice to programming at home and use these sounds also in a live situation?

[@GuitarTomB]

Glenn, you're the only person I can think of that might know the answer to this. I am attempting to use a custom speaker setup on the GT-10 and was curious if you know the proper settings to most adequately emulate any of the following speaker types; 25W Greenbacks, 75W Celestions, or Vintage 30's? I am guessing this is going to be in the Color Low and Color High settings, but I suspect some modification to the preamp tone settings might also be necessary. Thanks.

[@Fender308]

Great Gleen!! Good work, and BOSS/ROLAND needs really to endorse you! They must see your channel! You get so much out of the GT-10!

[@aberracionesyweas]

Hi, i´m from chile and i want to congratulate you for the videos, are really awesome, you have a very nice sound and i appreciate to do this videos to teach us a little bit more about this great multieffects. i have a little question for you. can i mute the boss gt 10 to the amp and still listening by my phones? sorry for my english i hope you understand me! jeep on this greats videos

[@brobroady]

Hi Glen! You've got really nice videos here and thank you for that, but I wonder if there are any Line6 POD videos coming! Really love them!

[@elrango3785]

absolutely great!!!

[@AndrewMcGuireBotolph]

Great tutorial, thanks!

[@ste528]

Hey Glen loving the tones! Can you help us out witha kicking early Van Halen tone on the GT10? - not loving the 10 Eruption preset to be honest Go on you know you want to......... Ace!!Thanks again.

[@mlunacantu]

Wow Pretty Darn Good !! Sound is Amazing !!

[@pptraxxx]

@extremevideopro Thanks for the reply - I am purchasing an ADA B200s (2-channels 100w each) - I am debating on buying two ADA 2x12 cabinets in order to use the dual feature - is this a good idea or can the feature still be used with one cabinet? Also - is it a feature that you would use regularly? Thanks again - I am just getting back into playing after a 5 year break and your videos are inspiring - can't wait to get the gt-10.

[@GlennDeLauneOfficial]

Sorry bout that. it might be named something else. That case is from Rondo music and it's the CNB-PDC4100G

[@byronpittser6652]

sounds great man

[@ClawHammer23]

Love that guitar....

[@robertclarkguitar]

Hope you are well Glenn. I hate to ask once again another opinion. Lol. I see Gt10 here on mercari app for 220.00 usd. Looks clean good condition. Also a Me 80. 200.00. Then I have been looking at Gt1 as well. In your opinion which is best for basic all in one for blues , ambient and floyd stuff? Thank you!! I'll be limited to a vox amp model vt20x or monitors hooked up direct via trs behringer Truth 2030 a. 6.5

[@GlennDeLauneOfficial]

No man you don't "need" those extra pedals. In fact this video was done so long ago about a year after I did this video i abandoned the other pedals because they weren't needed. Everything you need as far as distortion is in this thing. I just experimented with alot of extra stuff. I just had a big pedal board and didn't want any extra spaces LOL

[@Paulwilliamsukmusic]

love it sounds amazing

[@caddood]

Hey, great video! Have you ever done any presets for Boston? I'd like to "nail" the sound for 'A Man I'll Never Be'. I have to play both piano & help out with rhythm guitar for that song. Any help would be appreciated. Again thanks!

[@GlennDeLauneOfficial]

Those tones are definitely in the GT-10.

[@DrewFace507943]

I like variety of tones, I play all boss stomp boxes, with a rack BBE maxi and a Rack rocktron hush.

[@xchump]

great job

[@psychostew911]

ya I own a Me-20 by Boss and I know it is cheaper than a Pod xt Live but the POD's have a more natural and less digital sound which is very nice and also better distortions which I find are a harder theme in general to get right.

[@CatDieselPwr]

Hi Glenn I really appreciate all your demos but have a ? Which would you prefer out of the Eleven Rack,Gt-10 and HD500.All the same price(no effects update yet for the 11R).I think all three seem good and your demo's on two of them are really cool but I read that some guys are starting to have probs with the HD500 crapping out and the GT-10 amp modelling is weak.Thanks :)

[@userpipe]

@extremevideopro ahhh ok, so i can configure the specific extension pedal (od/ds) into the gt-10 loop for eg. comp, preamp. [OD/DS] etc.... and i'd just control it manually? thanks again for the awesome vids! and tones! (coz i us ur tones!)

[@khalilhab]

This is so helpful. Can you make 20 more, please? Seriously, would you mind making one more, maybe a blues or metal patch? Thanks

[@DrewFace507943]

I feel ya, I just wish there were processors with better foot control functionality. I mean If I'm gigging I don't have time to do something like that on the fly. Creating a preset to all of what 2 of the actual programmable buttons on that is impractical for the price . Unless I'm way off, cuz I do admit I don't know a hole lot about those things. I had a Digitech floor processor a while back but got rid of it for allot of reasons.

[@shaboum]

But there are many, many more possibilities to tweak the sound (Input Select/Output EQ, Tone modify, different speakers, mics, mic positions….) that influence the sound / frequency. You know, after hours of tweaking, often it result in more false positives. What are the main tools you use? What is a must in your opinion? Thanks in advance!

[@DominanceMusicKiev]

Ok, nice vid, thanks. So if you had to choose between Boss GT-10 and Line 6 HD300 (400 and 500) for use in both studio and live gigs which one would be your choice and why? That's the difficult question for me at the moment ... Thanks!

[@suffersystemstudios]

Hey man, thank you big time for this video!Using this as a base I have now been able to get a great rythm and lead tone using my GT 10. I was very unhappy with it at first, but using your compression guide and the dual amp I am now finally able to get a great metal tone. I'm using the 5150 drive and MS 1959I+II. You saved me from selling it and getting something else.Although, what do you think might be better, the GT 10 or the POD X3? Either way, this has been a life saver man, thanks!!!

[@FunkMauzz]

hey Glenn , thanx for the helpful vids , very informative . Question : have you adjusted the Gtr Input , level up and presence down ? if so , it would be good to include this in the patch description . but again nice patches and solid playing , ThanxaLot

[@shaboum1]

Would it be possible to test modellers also in direct comparison with guitar amps? I would be very happy to hearing from you. Thanks in advance!

[@suffersystemstudios]

@extremevideopro It now has a much, much more natural sound to it, and pretty much all of that fizz and digital aspect is almost non existent. Def going to recomend this video to anybody who has one, as it will no doubt help them in getting whatever tone they want, it's an amazing starting point (as I play mostly metal) and a great patch as well. Cheers!

[@Mancunion1976]

lovely guitar, and btw great tones!

[@kingsecho3351]

I use a gt-10 with a voodoo lab sparkle OD hooked right into it. I don’t even use an fx loop. I use a blackstar club 40 with a celestion speaker. I think it sounds amazing using that OD. Is it ok to not use an fx loop with it?

[@GlennDeLauneOfficial]

Well Thanks for watching anyway. Have you checked out the new GT-100 yet?? That one does sounds much better. I think they did make some progress with the new one. Boss will never get into the Axe FX or Kemper Ballpark though. They are alone at that level. Those are the only "modelers" that really sound like real amplifiers & tubes. But no modeler will ever beat real Marshall's

[@MrZASWANAZRAI]

Hi glenn... Love your tutorial. I just the gt10... Love it. It's that tone i hear in my head! Question-i like certain patch in ez create(clean and fat gain). How to take that patch and paste it to create dual amp that change dynamicly?or do i have to create the patch manualy?

[@WillySnoppy]

hello there , such a killer sound, i am very novice regarding GT10 programing stuf, so i do not know if it is posible to program the GT10 to send the notes via USB to a DAW and play a piano? sorry i can not afford a GR 55 :) thanks for your effort!!

[@GlennDeLauneOfficial]

Yes I've seen those. Very nice.

[@coeurvaillan]

Great! Do you where can i read more explanations about Eq, compression on Internet. I have problems to understand these parameters. Thanks!

[@jt93guitar]

@jt93guitar Also, i've found a factory sound that i like, how would i add that to one of my own banks? and is the difference between a U01 and P01 that users can change the U01 banks.. if that makes sense, sorry if i'm not very clear

[@greytim73]

AWESOME JOB!!!

[@TheNextHendrix14]

get it on amazon. the total cost is $430. instead of $550 at most places

[@GlennDeLauneOfficial]

@MrZASWANAZRAI Create the EZ-Tone and save it to wherever you want it. Then press the Preamp button and there you can add another preamp B.

[@bayareagarage]

@extremevideopro Thanks a lot, really appreciate it as always. But again, under what kinda situation do u engage the Bad Monkey?

[@GlennDeLauneOfficial]

Well I use pedals and amps too, They are the best. I just like tinkering around with these things. Actually though as modelers go Boss does have some of the best sounding FX out there. Maybe not as good as Axe FX but for sure just as good as Line6, Digitech, Zoom, Vox, Fender modelers. You should have a look at the new Boss GT-100 though. I have done a few videos using the new unit.

[@GlennDeLauneOfficial]

Usually it's Chorus, Phaser, Univibe, Wha, & FX loop before the amp, after the amp it's delay's, reverb, EQ's etc. . .

[@thecrowburn]

Hi Glenn do you have a video showing how to Connect external drive Pedals and set the gt10? Tks

[@jt93guitar]

@extremevideopro right, i know how to create a sound using eztone, i have clicked on the write button, it has saved to a bank, on the number 2 control, how do i save other custom patches to the same bank, on numbers 1 3 and 4?

[@BastyGuitar]

recorded via USB? Great Tone!!!

[@tizneb36]

When setting the EQ, don't we need to considere the frequency limitation of the amp's speakers? ex: if you got celestion speakers that are 80-5000Hz, lower and higher frequency would not respond like it should be. Am I wrong?

[@GlennDeLauneOfficial]

True

[@bayareagarage]

Hi Glenn, just been wondering how these single pedals help? When u kick in the BM/Satchurator do you turn off/lower the drive on your GT10? If I loop in a Fulldrive MOSFET/suhr riot, would e gain be too high/very hard to clean up?

[@DrewFace507943]

I herd the Line 6 Pod X3 live is more user friendly then this thing. But can you get the same quality of sound?Also is there any benefit to getting this as to say, the same thing in a rack module?

[@Cl0udyDayz]

in your opinion which would you prefer? pod x3 live or the GT-10? And which, in your opinion sounds better? And which is easier to use? i would appreciate your answers very very much.

[@steveroberts8323]

You do amazing instruction videos (and great playing!) I have a hard time setting up the control pedals and assigns. I feel like I'm doing it correctly, but things get goofy. Do you have any videos that go into lots of detail on setting these up?

[@TheNextHendrix14]

sweet vid glenn! can you do a vid on using manual mode when you just want your amps tone?

[@GlennDeLauneOfficial]

Sure, Nancy Wilson (Heart), Chris Broderick (Megadeth), Nils Lofgren (Bruce Springsteen). There are many more in the Country genre as well.

[@pptraxxx]

I like the dual channel feature - excuse my ignorance, but I have 2 questions: is the dual sound sent to and coming from one cabinet/speaker? Also, if I have 2 side by side ADA 2x12 cabinets, can each channel be sent seperately - one to the left and one to the right?

[@bruzzgravely3470]

Hey Glenn I was wanting to ask you a question and i really hope you answer me back, im running my gt 10 through a 50 watt jcm 900 marshall 2 by 12 , when i play my clean tones they are perfect but when i kick my distortion it seem like i drop out of my mix away from my band and my band members tell me my lead tone is to harsh sounding, im useing a marshall preamp build in the gt 10 can you please give me some directions how to take that out and show me the way to take that out on the eq? please help me im running my amp clean but my harshness is comeing from the gt 10 pedal!

[@GlennDeLauneOfficial]

@thewonkhotline Can't comment on the new GT-100 yet. Waiting on mine to come in. If you are unsure about your purchase then wai about a month till people start getting the new GT-100

[@ocar123ozzy123]

do you need a good amp so that it sounds good? , or does any amp sound good if using the boss gt-10? i have a bc rich amp ( its ok ), it came wih my warlock guitar.

[@scarekrow9]

@extremevideopro would you say its easier than a regular guitar pick to use? or about the same?

[@jcw3032]

im going to get either boss gt-10 or pod x3 live, i know that it comes down to personal preference, but do you have any useful tips or info that might help me decide? Thanks in advance :)

[@ClawHammer23]

Very good...!!!

[@shelton701]

Nice vid, I was wondering where you got your pedal board
