Boss GT-100 2023: Guitar Effects Mastery!

[@dinobosecreativity]

Which GT-100 features would like to dig deeper into?

[@adairo16]

Int. Pedal There is a lot of internal pedal options

[@dinobosecreativity]

@@adairo16 Are you referring to the "Internal Pedal / Wave Pedal" system?

[@adairo16]

@@dinobosecreativity yes, you could be very creative using it

[@dinobosecreativity]

@@adairo16 I've never used it but I'll try it and see what I come up with. Next time I'm going to do a video on the GT100 distortions and effects. Check out the video i made on the GT100 preamps. And thanks for the comments.

[@ronsonesteban8632]

Supposedly, If you get a midi pedal you can use manual mode and switch patches with that and assign more effects to each pedal without having to press the two bank buttons to switch/change. Can you tell me how to use my amps ch 3 distortion tone (and or clean channel) but use the boss gt100 effects in manual mode? I just got the gt100 recently.

[@remanialek2]

i hv using it 10years now still love it, use it for live and recording.

[@dinobosecreativity]

Yes it's amazing and built really well, it will last 20 years!

[@dinobosecreativity]

It's been 6 years for me! Have you used it live?

[@americanwoodworkingtrickss6543]

@@dinobosecreativity What mean used it live? I am not a musician. I just play for me for pleasure and relax. Sometimes for my family. Practically always 100% live improvisation. I'm not recording it.

[@dinobosecreativity]

@@americanwoodworkingtrickss6543 I meant like playing with a band live. But you are a musician. Just by knowing how to play and doing it regularly makes you a musician. You can be a musician in many different ways.

[@CrystallineAudio]

Hey Dino! Fantastic videos on this unit. I wanted to know... would it be possible to have a gated reverb effect? Meaning a clean signal, and in parallel, a reverb that only activate when going above a certain threshold? Thanks in advance, and don't stop creating these!

[@dinobosecreativity]

Thanks for watching! and the nice comment! Unfortunately the reverb isn't working right with my GT-100. Or I can't figure out what's going on. I've never tried to use it for reverb. Maybe you can try using the Noise Suppressors (Noise Gates) in there and try it out.

[@tonisalic6300]

I have one of these coming in the mail. Bought it for all the reasons you said. This is a premature question, but i must have missed the setting when going in a mixer, then active speaker. Also can I plug in two guitars at the same time. This video took a lot of work for you, so thank you for you time and enthusiasm. These videos take hours, if not days to make

[@dinobosecreativity]

You have to decide what's best for your gear in the Output Select setting, this part of the video --> kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5LTZ2qaq5yWoMU. For mixer I think you would use the LINE/Headphones Output setting. I've never tried two guitars, the GT-100 only has a single mono input. Maybe you can get some kind of splitter and plug in in 2 mono instrument jacks into it, then it would run a single instrument jack into the GT-100's Input. But either way you won't be able to pan your 2 guitars accordingly in the GT-100.

[@tonisalic6300]

Got the unit. You are correct...of course. Amazing pedal. Lots to absorb but im getting there. No laptop, but its bot hindering programming patches, though it would make life simpler. The two guitar thing would be just to go from electric to acoustic...changing patches. No biggie I'll just lower the sound on the unit and change guitars. Thanks againb​@dinobosecreativity

[@ManfredElsingBielefeld]

Nice video;thanks a lot!I own this gt100 for now about 3 Years and i dont have the feeling to get something other!For my Computer(Cubase...),my amp or direct into whatever;my GT100 is such an amazing guitartool11

[@dinobosecreativity]

Thanks for watching! I also use Cubase. It has all the effects I need and much more that I'll probably never use.

[@gmscyndrome2870]

Love your videos. Could you explain again how to calibrate the input level for the GT-100 a little more. Specifically, how to use the red light by the pedal for clipping. Thanx.

[@dinobosecreativity]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy them. Well I’m running the GT100 into my UAD Twin interface. I have a mix console display where I can monitor everything. I’ve never used the red light by the pedal to check clipping. I checked the manual, I didn’t find anything about the red light as you mentioned. Where did you read about this?

[@hamishmchamish]

IIRC as it's been a years since I set mine up... you make a patch with ACC/ctrl set to LED on off. You then set an assign so the input source triggers the LED - set min to 126 and max to 127 so the light only comes on when the signal has maxxed. I think I also set an assign turning on auto wah in the same way to make it really clear when it clips as both the LED and wah turn on. I have a permanent reference patch so that is dead easy to adjust the input level between guitars. I should point out that you could just leave it set for the guitar with the highest output if you want others to have a weaker signal

[@dalbocha]

Thank you very much! I was blessed with such great explanation.

[@dinobosecreativity]

You're welcome...happy explorations!

[@sahinsimsek7698]

Hello mate , ive got my gt100 and digitech rp355 , i wanted to know if i can convert my rp355 tones into my gt100 please 🙏

[@dinobosecreativity]

Unfortunately there's no way to swap presets between the two since they're two different companies. I'd just go for it and start trying to manually copy them. Check out my GT-100 playlist, it has videos on the preamps, effects and how to dial them in. Should help you do your settings a bit quicker. Just have fun with the process of manually recreating your sounds. It'll give you really good practice creating patches in the GT-100.

[@djangofett4879]

My first multi effects/amp modeler deck was Boss GT-8 which was a couple generations before the GT-100. it had some great tones on it and really brought some life to my crate half stack. i was just a kid buying whatever i could get on deep discount used. now i have boss gt-1000 core and its pretty fantastic. people complain still that gt-1000 doesnt sound like a real amp 😂 people are pretty silly. gt-1000 sounds amazing and now i actually know how to use these things as opposed to my gt-8 when i had no idea what a phaser or a plexi or a 1959 or a compressor was and had little idea of how to use it, just poking around on pre-sets.

[@dinobosecreativity]

Well you really have to take time and dial things in. All the people who complain aren't spending enough time tweaking their sound like they would with a real amp with pedals/fx. I also learned all about amp and speaker simulators with my GT3. That's how I got started with virtual amps.

[@TomGotGanked]

Hey Dino I love this demo and I’m thinking about getting the gt 100. I have an EVH 5150 100w that is connected to a Mesa boogie 4x12 cabinet. Would my signal chain be guitar > gt100> front of amp? Or guitar> gt100> effects loop inputs on the back of my amp? Thanks!

[@dinobosecreativity]

Hi, Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Wow nice amp and cab!! EVH is one of my fave all time guitarists. I'm sure the amp is amazing. If you use the GT100 in front of the amp it'll be just like any pedalboard > amp sound. I've never tried it with an amp effects loop. My amps are in LA and I'm in Prague. Try the effects loop, just make sure to set your Output Select to effects loop, before you plug in, and set your amp volume to 0, just to make sure you don't get any loud clipping sounds or noises. Let me know how it sounds.

[@TomGotGanked]

@ sounds good thanks for the fast reply!

[@barrycreed9886]

Can you bypass the amp sims when setting up patches etc and use the effects only?

[@dinobosecreativity]

Yes, I do it all the time. Just make sure you use the right setting in Output Select based on what the GT will plug into. I just turn the preamps off and use the Line/Phones setting ... plug the GT into my UAD Twin interface and use its amp sims.

[@barrycreed9886]

@@dinobosecreativity Thanks for the advice! I think I will use it for effects, boost, light overdrive and use some external pedals with it. The less cables, the better! :)

I'm a newbie guitar enthusiast and was about to buy the BOSS TR2 cause I want the tremolo effect to sound like THE SMITHS.... until I saw your tutorial and demo in this GT100!

@@dinobosecreativity hi Dino, I haven't bought the GT100 yet. I was going to get the Boss TR2 but after seeing your tutorial, i have changed my mind with getting the GT100. Just want to ask you first if the TR2 and GT100 would have the same TREMOLO sound effect?

[@dinobosecreativity]

@@exciter300 well it's all Boss so it definitely should. I tried the TR2 long ago and from what I remember the GT trems are the same. Like I said in the video, that's why I got the GT3 and GT100. Because they had all the individual Boss pedal sounds in one pedalboard. You can always return the GT100 if you don't like the trem.

​@@dinobosecreativityHi Dino! I finally bought the BOSS GT100! The best earlyXmas present for myself 😊. Please check my unboxing video as I gave a shout out to you for helping me decide to get it.

With the special Marr secret to nail that "How Soon is Now" sound

[@ABSOLUTE_UNIT1756]

What settings did you you use to get that second tone where you were showing off the expression pedal with univibe?

[@dinobosecreativity]

The GT100 univibe of course...but I'm not sure about the amp I'll have to check. I don't remember if it was a GT100 preamp or the UAD Friedman Be100 amp. It would definitely have been a souped up Marshall sound (the BE100 def is)

[@JQBMusicandTutorials]

I've been thinking about getting one of these for years. I don't know how the 1000 or any other pedals compare, but his one sounded good when Johnny demoed it. That for more education on this!

[@friggenjoe4092]

Question! Would I be able to set this up so my laptop can change the effects on the pedal for me? Instead of me having to stand next to it to change it from clean to overdrive and etc. My band plays to a click track live and if I could set it up to change effects automatically, that would be so wonderful. Not sure if this is relevant to assisting with the question but we use logic for our backing tracks and all that good stuff, Thanks!!

[@dinobosecreativity]

Good question! I haven’t used the GT-100 MIDI features at all so I can’t answer this one. Whenever I used the GT live, I always did it the usual way, with my foot. I’ve seen some stuff in online forums about using MIDI with the GT-100 for a few tasks. I know Logic is good for MIDI so it seems like you should be able to do this. I found this video using Reaper to change patches, so I’m sure you can use the same concept for Logic. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m37Xd6GQhNqheKc To be honest, it just seems easier to do it with your foot. I know it’s tough when you wanna move around the stage, but if you’re just changing patches between songs, it’s not a big deal. Let me know how it goes!

Brilliant, if not the best demo on this incredible piece of equipment…I have had mine for a number of years, and at times wonder if I got it set up correctly….think I have not….so it’s like learning all over, one thing though, I run OSX Monterey, and as far as I can tell, having tried, the USB interface does not work, I have the updated system for the GT100, but have to edit old school, on my hands and knees….I do love the build quality and the ease of use, but I think I may have got a few things wrong, I also did not know I could hook up a keyboard, in my case an old Kong Triton, and play through it, and out of the USB into Logic Pro…..pity, as I gave my son my old Triton…….just have to get a new synth….again thanks for your help, I have subscribed and will watch all your videos, appreciate your time and your great explanation…cheers

[@dinobosecreativity]

Hi, thank you so much for the wonderful message. And thank you for subscribing, supporting and watching! Unfortunately I don’t have any Mac experience, I found this: discussions.apple.com/thread/7983219. But proceed with caution/discretion with any of the suggestions. I have no idea how this will impact your Mac or GT100. One suggestion I can make is to get a tall compact stand or tray, you can put the GT up so that you’re not on hands/knees bent over. I did this for the demo video, it’s on top of a tray which has wheels. Very helpful. What other features of the GT100 would you like me to cover? Have a great day, Dino

[@dinobosecreativity]

@@karlhoward2737 Wow that's really interesting you live on this island, I just checked it on google maps. I'm not so far away, in Prague, CZ. Hope everything turns out ok after the tornado. Glad you're able to bounce back and play some guitar! I don't think your issues have anything to do with the Output volume knob setting. You can try it with my method. See if it helps. With my method you can't accidentally overload a sound by hitting the output volume on accident and pushing it past the halfway point...It's already at the highest volume it'll go. Hope that makes sense. Try it. Just follow the sequence in the video. For me hearing a sound and dialing it in is just kind of intuitive at this point. I also sometimes don't get the sounds I want exactly. Cool that we both have Strats. I don't have a real Les Paul though, only the Jackson LP style guitar. Thanks for the compliment though, I have to admit my tone sculpting intuition has gotten pretty good over the years. I think it's always good to have a starting point.. Whatever you hear, see if you heard that on an album or song somewhere. Find out what the guitarist was using and start from there. You just have to play around a lot with Gain, EQ, Distortion and other fX levels and combinations. Good luck! Which model is your black star? I'm curious to check out pics

Yes I live on the small 9 miles by 5 miles island, we are not part of the UK, we are independent, we speak English, but Jersey French and French is spoken here….we have a big surfing community, it’s a very busy place, 200,000 cars here…but it can be quiet, warm summers, wet wild winters…sadly our first hurricane and tornado, really bad it was…..but yeah I have my own little studio, just need more time to create….li plan to get back into producing my own music…..and this time around add guitar to the mix….enjoy Chechia as it’s called I believe, have a few beers….and keep on playing and helping out, again thank you for your time…cheers Karl.

I connect the GT100 directly to my UAD twin guitar hi-z input and use UAD amp sims. You could connect it to an amp too while using the Tone Studio. I haven't tried changing patches and checking the delays being cut off.. try it and let me know what happens.

In my opinion, when you have a GT-100 you don't need a GT-1000. I got that GT-100 and the Table Top GT-001 ...i'm totally satisfied with that.
