Boss GT-100 Basic Overview

[@ozzlayer]

This is a very powerful unit. I bought one when it came out. I used to play worship music for a local church and this was my rig. The more i played with the the more I love it. To a point when i joined a metal band and I used it for gigs and never had an issue. Eventually i switched to regular pedals BUT I kept using the GT-100 for rehearsals. I sold my ME 70 and ME 80 and kept this unit.

[@nerdly44]

By far the most comprehensive intro to this unit that I have seen. Thanks!

[@SuiGenerisMan]

Bought one of these a year ago. It was so damn complicated. I'm always too stoned to read an instruction manual and all the videos on KZbin made it even more complicated, so I tossed my $500 brick in the closet. Then I saw this video and I remember why I was so excited to blow 1/2 a G on this thing. Thank you. Simple. Straight forward. English.

[@darthgibsonlp6631]

Thanks for reminding me why I quit smoking weed. Too stoned (lazy) to read an IM? Jesus Christ

Thank you so much, Jon. I really appreciate your giving us this getting-started video. Hats off to you, good sir.

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

Absolutely! Glad it helped

A couple of things about this unit that was sure thing that I wanted was the two features that made it easier for me. One they set up the tuner and Manual mode with pushing two buttons together like the Boss ME models. That was a huge relief for me because with the GT-8 and Gt-9 I had use the ctl. pedal they had there to assign them for tuner and Manual mode which now force me to use a separate pedal switch to use for the solo and extra mod patch. With this feature, I can now use less switchers and cables, which is a convenience to me.

[@georgesabitpol]

I keep cycling a gt8 and a fm3. The gt8 gets me to the sound i am searching so easily. I cant live without one.

[@robb9uk]

Outstanding, thanks so much for simplifying ☺. I'm just an acoustic guy and this dig/elec world is an overwhelming minefield that I stepped into. A bit like taking a guy from Backwater, Nebraska and dumping him/her into the middle of Time Square, Piccadilly Circus, Shibuya and telling them to go fill their boots 😱😬

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

Glad it helped! Also, that's a very specific analogy.

[@ArkAmps]

The Marshall-esque tones are my fav ever and the effects are excellent

[@jst601]

Having a user bank full of user patches & a separate preset/factory setting gives the user the ability to hear a particular sound, tweak it & store it in *his* own patch. Later, should he be curious about a parameter within the original, he can locate that original patch & have a permanent reference source for it. Priceless in my experience.

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

Good to know! Thanks for sharing.

[@mlnem2k]

There's also a feature called "easy tone" where you are able to select a "style" like punk, metal, surf, country, ambient etc.... This is the best way to have a starting point for creating your own patches.

[@glennt.kitchen9956]

Well done my friend! You're articulate, well organized and prolific at demonstrating and teaching of technological equipment. You should probably see about doing this for companies with reimbursements of one sort or another.

[@raymondjames1341]

I bought this when it first came out, I was still in highschool and a real beginner at playing the guitar, well I couldn't understand it or work out how to use it so I took it back to the shop a week later haha

[@iganpparamarta8813]

Nice. I wish in my country we have the same consumer's privilege. We don't do "return policy" here haha so after you make a purchase all risk is yours. But there's at least one advantage : price is way cheaper here. I got my MIJ RG6xx for 700USD, normal price in sweetwater was about 1200. And my other RG, a rare one, got it for 1000USD. On promusictools it was 1400EUR (yes, euro).

[@raymondjames1341]

Really? You can't return an item where you're from? That's madness. If that was the case here I'd have a house full of junk that I dont want.

[@iganpparamarta8813]

@@raymondjames1341 yes it was made clear on the receipt “no return for purchased item(s)” haha sorry English not my first language. I think because we are used to this we became more selective and always think a lot before purchase. You can return it if it’s under warranty and get replaced but not apply to all. Household appliances for example. But musical instruments are almost always no return policy. I’m from Indonesia

[@raymondjames1341]

Well maybe that is not a bad thing, it makes you think truly if something is worth buying in the first place. You speak good english by the way.

[@daghetto101]

@@raymondjames1341 Me-80 is good but the looper is hard to use. Me-80 is good for live performances and at home compare to GT100 which has a lot of tweaking and fixing around. But sound wise GT100 is much better, tho its not far off.

[@goncaloferreira72]

I've binging on your videos. Seem like a really cool person, laid back, no eho and just fun. And no gear snob kind of videos... Thank you for these videos. Been wondering about getting this pedalboard or a line 6 one so your videos have been awesome. Cheers from Portugal!

[@louieholgado1440]

It says in the manual that there are 200 user banks and 200 presets.

[@jozjonlin3170]

So, overall, how does the GT-100 stack up against similar boards you've used, both in usability and quality of sounds? In your opinion, would you recommend this or a different board? I've been strictly a pedal guy for many years but have finally considered getting one of these to play with and I'm going nuts trying to figure out what to get.

[@accentontheoff]

@@jozjonlin3170 Thanks for replying. Btw have you ever considered the ME 80. I realise it’s a very different class of device but I am tempted because of its simple layout. It’s either that or the GT 100 for me.

[@l.g.5899]

Do you think that makes sense buying this unit today, or newer pedalboards are just far better? Thanx

[@JonEleyetGuitar]

Depends on your budget. For the price, I think the GT100 is still a very usable pedalboard. But if you can afford it, the newer Boss GT1000 or Line 6 Helix are better investments. They have the most up-to-date modeling software, features, and a better user experience.

[@SayakPChatterjee]

I want to know...Is POD 500x is better ? Or boss Gt 100....? Simple..what do you suggest...?

[@aarontyler9569]

GT100 by far

[@SayakPChatterjee]

And sir what basis are you saying that...? Let me know...

[@aarontyler9569]

Sayak P Chatterjee usability and the overall quality of the effects. POD 500x is hard to adjust while playing due to the small display and has less customization via the pc, the gt100 also has the capability to convert the guitar signal into a midi source and also allows direct recording into DAW

[@SayakPChatterjee]

And sir does it have dual amp...like two different amp set on a same patch and panned hard left right for stereo sound ...is possible ? For metal tones..?

[@SayakPChatterjee]

For live performance ? Dual amp stereo patch possible ?

[@vtmusic5173]

So how many presets can I upload to the GT-100? 50x4= 200 presets?

[@philiptownsend8348]

The drive amps are very dark

[@ankansaha9027]

Can you please make some heavy metal stuffs and solo tone with the boss gt100

[@spicybison]

Is this compatible with boss katana patch files?

[@cloudchaser9951]

yes

[@EMP1264-c1j]

good Vid/ but imo' the boss tone studio is a far better way to get to Know The GT 100

[@dennisalexander1806]

Does the GT100 have a chromatic tuner and lets you do alternate guitar tunings?

[@DerEchteBold]

Yes, chromatic, and you can set it to any root but it only does regular or dropped, no other stuff like DADGAD or something. And with the 2.0 firmware you can set it to polytune.

Gt-100 brother. Why?, Because It's filled with so many Boss pedals w/classic sounds that have already been proven to stand the test of time. The device itself is built by Roland, and it's an absolute tank, bulletproof and will likely out live us all. Boss GT-100 is forever and will never ever be obsolete.

[@mlnem2k]

@@fathermarcus7808 like the GT-100 you must tell the Unit what it's plugged into. By default these boards arrive in full stereo with amp modeling on. This sounds unbelievable when plugged into headphones or even computer. Guitar Amps (most) have a mono guitar input. So you need to find the setting that lets you tell the device to output a mono signal with no modeling. On the gt-100 it's in settings and there are options for computer, guitar amp, guitar amp return, combo amp, stack amp etc..... Also, the preset you use must be created with this in mind.
