BOSS GT-1000 | First Impressions | Gig-Rig | Jack Gardiner |

Massive thanks to the guys at BOSS for letting me put one of these to the test. This thing sounds wicked! I forgot to mention in the video, that I am actually using some custom impulse responses of a Friedman 4x12 Cab.

I purchased my GT-1000 about a year ago and am just now getting around to experimenting and learning how to use it. I've watched, and will continue to watch all the numerous videos demonstrating all the different ways of using it and setting it up to do different things. That said, this video is my go to video for now. Your articulation in all your descriptions on the use of this machine is perfect for me and it's easy to see why that "manual mode" is the way to go with this machine. Thank you Jack.

[@georgesabitpol]

Such an underrated processor. Very nice sounds!

[@JohnOShaughnessy]

yeah, when it's used by someone like Jack who can really play 😆 But seriously, I've got a GT1000 for a while now, and the longer I have it the more I love it.

[@johnong2655]

I sold my GT-100 for this because of the bass and guitar effects. Coming from a GT-100 user, this really is a huge step up. However, it's much more complicated than its predecesor

[@Scias]

Sounds great sire, thanks for the drinks and the hangs NAMM was quite a blast this year! Looking forward to hearing more

[@JackGardiner]

Was an absolute pleasure to hang mate! Hopefully we'll get a chance to hang over this side of the Atlantic at some point!

@@JackGardiner You too man an absolute pleasure, hope you're enjoying your home over there! If I land this mainland Europe tour I'll let you know, or if me and Jazz get up to anything! Hope you're well in general my guy take care

Just bought the GT1K Core today. Stoked. These sounds Amazeballs

[@depecheddurand]

I`ve been using boss ME 80 for a while now and i just bought this one.The quality of sounds is absolutely amazing and its a maze of effects and amps .It will take a while to understand this but i`m totally digging it.Your video really helped me understand the basics as i bought a display model with no manual.

[@aural_supremacy]

All the manuals are available for download user manual, in depth parameter guide and GT1000 sounds saying what the factory patches are.

[@BradAndersohn]

Great video, thanks Jack. It’s my second time back to watch it through its entirety. I learned something new, and will every time I watch this. Your knowledge and skill is inspirational and very motivating. You’re playing and talent is unprecedented. Thanks for sharing bro. 🙏👍

Great tones and stellar playing!

In the right hands this unit is amazing

[@staylor537]

It's a Roland/Boss great keyboards great pedals ! Have an old 70's Chorus it's been stomped on 10 trillion times and it wont die ? Also Roland Keyboards are top notch ! A buddy had a Boss pedalboard that was flooded still works too ! I was heavy into synth programming back in the analog days and still have their first sampler also ! Enjoy your playing man !

[@skeletor2000]

Great to hear more of the jam from Instagram! Great tones, if you got the chops you got the tones with this!

I love this unit , I just wish it was a little easier to use some of the effects lol. I can recreate just about any pedal out there , it's just a major undertaking.at least to me . I'm used to turn a knob and go .

[@rockkstah2550]

I wish I should’ve seen your video on this unit before I sold mind a year and a half ago, oh well maybe re-order and give it one last shot. Luv your patches, not super heavy hard rock, metal, very good rock sounds which I was trying to shot for but for some reason could never get it. But after watching your videos it is possible to get a good medium rock type sound. Boss are known to be very heavy metal type sounds and 80’s hard rock type. With what I do these days, I’m trying to shot for that Brian Adams rock sound with clean shred on solos and not so overly overdriven, somewhat the sound your getting when soloing on the bridge. Again thanks for your post, might give it another shot.

[@hollywoodactress]

Cool a Jack Gardiner video! Not seen many in a while. Watching now. Btw you still loving the Strandberg? Suhr in storage ?

[@dominiquez5643]

Hi Jack ! Question: I have the GT100...can you set it up "manual" (as a stomp box controller) and have one switch to call an existing patch rather than using an overdrive in the chain ?? If you can, I'm getting one, I couldn't get this done with my unit. Thanks for the review man !

[@stevensnowdon6270]

Can you share these patches on the GT-1000 Facebook page please 🙏🏻

Hey Jack, new subscriber here. Question? when running direct live, what are a few tweaks you personally make to your GT that we can benefit from? Are the Boss Tone Central Patches useful for live?

[@robfordomjones]

hi mate ive subbed man...great channel! just wondered if you still use the gt 1000 ? im on the fence man...

[@ekotransit785]

i really want to like the gt-1000; the very idea of using a boss board seems to be very attractive to me, as i am a 90s kid; but each time i hear a boss mfx, that's exactly what happens, it STILL sounds like the 90s. idk. it could be me, though.

[@JeremyHalterman]

Eko Transit I’m also not a fan of the stock “BOSS sound.” The reason I chose the GT-1000 over the competition is that AIRD legitimately makes it feel and respond like a real amp, and that’s not something you can dial in through EQs and IRs. That said, I did spend time dialing things in to my liking, and I’m now happier with my tones than I was with my Two-Rock and Morgan amps and a pedalboard of boutique pedals. The GT-1000 is definitely worth trying out in person to see if it’s for you.

[@VegasDM]

great tones, any chance you could share that Friedman IR?

I've been using the GT-5 since 2000. I wasn't considering other effects pedals... ~there's so many things to consider about music now! is it gay~ everything gah~ So! i was looking at this synthesizer! moog one and i wanted it! to replace my Yamaha Motif XS 8 Workstation i was like wow it's really nice and so expensive i would have to get lost by my girlfriend to save for it. i keep thinking that now! everything i use is so out modeled... alesis HD24... microphones... bass... strings~ my skeletal framework nowl~ today i was looking at effects boards and have it narrowed to the boss GT-1000 and the Line 6 Helix which i noticed get's alot of approval i enjoyed your video! but! which one is perfect! i hear the GT-1000 has the better tonal quality to found in and around it what i am sacrificing like a chicken to moloch to forgive and forget every "thing" i've been hearing on the Helix nowdou? i want you to keep one thing straight on it in mind here now... i buy my talent! i put the money forth to make the grade here~ so that's exactly what i'm looking to do now. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6bdqnRrnKmUaqc

I had the Gt 100 for years. Bought this. Sorry to tell you, no comparison. The Gt 1000 amp models are fantastic IMHO.

[@MrMisterock]

@@rolandready3207 sorry to tell you but for the stuff that the 1000 is coming on the market with will never justify the difference in price, IMO. I have to wait to eventually go down in price to buy one. For now, it's just overpriced for what is offering. sure, IMO

Could u share your preset?

[@Get2DeeChoppa]

Any chance you could post your patches to the files of the gt1000 FB group?

[@tarotguitar]

The harmonizer effect is distorting(not in a good way...) and sounding very muddy. You should try placing the respective effect block post-amp. You'll get a more realistic, cleaner result. Love the playing! 🔥🎸

[@MontyDeane]

Perhaps you can help.if I want to go into the manual mode, I need to kick down (Up Arrow + CTL1) to go into the manual mode. To do so sometimes I have to turn my foot at different angles, and if my foot isnt perfectly level, I could be pressing only the UP ARROW and changing the preset. Are you experiencing the same limitation on stage. Its no fun switching into an unexpected patch in the middle of a song. Think its possible to assign one controller switch to enter manual mode?

[@miremaker]

You can set up a different combo for manual mode, or get a separate boss foot switch switch that you can exclusively assign to that function. 👍

[@nikiw1856]

Boss sent me only the unit but not with the shoes.

[@Trs_trS]

What ir are you using?

[@justinTime077]

Hello my fellow tone enthusiast! Could you tell me how playing through this in your private jam sessions feels compared to one of your favorite amps? I’m thinking of ditching an amp I love in exchange for this setup. I ultimately get bored being stuck with a single amplifier, but at this time can’t quite afford to buy all kinds of amps. Your input would mean a lot. I’m considering a GT1000 with 2 of these frfr cabs. So long as it doesn’t sound like a storm of angry diarrhea, and it feels like genuine guitar amplification..What do you play through? Do you replace your amps with something?

I just bought a Boss GT 6 off ebay, I'll bet anything it sounds just as good as this one. Don't waste your money. Modelling is not getting better and better

[@Stefan-]

The biggest leap is the speaker emulation for sure, you can often get great sounds out of much older units, but that is usually through real guitar speakers, using IR´s will often make a big difference on many older units.

[@thomasdemartino6109]

I feel you’re wrong there, as you have to physically try it in a music store, compared to others like a Helix, Headrush, or a Profiler. If you’re just going with your ear, and you’re on a budget, then I would agree with you. It really depends on the type of music you play, alone at home, or in front of an audience or band. If you feel it translates your playing style, and you’re motivated to create with it, then it’s perfect for you. I’ve been playing electric for over 30 years, and this is the most flexible system for any gig I could ever get, (weddings, bar bands, rock and funk, or jazz).
