Boss GT-1000 - Stacking Amps For The Ultimate Breakup Tone. (Free tone Download)

Loads of top guitarists use a variety of different amps blended together to create their ultimate tone. In this video, I create my ultimate breakup tone with the Boss GT 1000 using a blend of two different sounding amp models. The Boss GT-1000 has a variety of killer-sounding amps right in the box. The Studio Rats are core band members Paul Drew on guitar/production/mixing, drummer James Ivey and Dan Hawkins on bass. They collaborate with singers and musicians to produce radio-ready songs.

GT 1000 has such an analog-like feel under fingers… it makes line 6 and Headrush gear sounds like toys IMO…

Great video that illustrates the “listen with your ears, not your eyes” approach.

[@TheStudioRats]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Best videos so far!! Finally somebody with taste and great playing demonstrating gear!!

We need more videos about GT-1000 ! you did a great job with your sounds and the community need people like you! we have to grow the gt-1000 community, its a same that Boss dont support this pedal is awesome!

[@hanovergreen4091]

Great Sounds!!! I haven't heard the GT-1000 sound this good before. Still A/B'ing between HX (Stomp or Effects) and Gt-1000. Thanks for the patch gents! Subscribed and Best Regards!

[@unhookedunhooked3219]

Great sound Paul. If using this live and want to add more bass or treble etc, would you have to use an EQ block? Otherwise your adjusting two amps.

[@fabriceregnaut3540]

From all the demo I have seen , you are one to taste the real sound of a guitar , instead of heavy metal wall of sound which sound tiring and more like a synth . I like the same and soon will be working on the GT 1000 as well , direct on a Yamaha HS8 for hi-fi guitar sound , with a guitar that sound awesomely natural . Cheers Paul , and thanks for your work

G’day Paul. Recent subscriber as have just jumped on the GT1000core train. Love yr channel. A real find. I’ve downloaded yr patch ( thx) to get started but it won’t open on the Mac. Should it be a zip file? Cheers mate.

It’s a tsl file which is a boss file.

Just wondering what cab settings you got on? Also are you using the XLR outs or the Standard outs? Ime struggling to get good amp and distortion sounds on mine.

[@lassekalhauge4801]

Love your tone and great playing as always. Just one question: how is your signal chain - do you go directly from the Boss GT to your audio interface and from there to the computer or do you have something in between? Best regards from 🇩🇰❤️

[@TheStudioRats]

Hi Lasse. Cheers, yep straight into the interface to the computer.

[@lassekalhauge4801]

Cool Paul! How did you route the cable from your gt 1000 to be connected with your computer? Did you use another external interface as well?

[@jhemysonsousa5408]

Great! I don't find site for free tone download

[@davidwoods358]

I really dig the dual amp capability and blending them. Is it possible to get a distinct stereo spread of the dual amps at the output ? I'm looking for sounds with big stereo spreads for solo guitar. Or. should I be relying more on the stereo verbs and delays for that?

[@TheStudioRats]

You can do that with the amps.

[@davidwoods358]

[@davidwoods358]

@@toileetre9250 Thanks for that.

[@wabisabi6802]

Used to do this since the GT6. I set the predelay of amp 2 by a few milliseconds to widen the sound. No modulation needed, but if I have to add modulation, I use the pitch shifter instead of the chorus effect to make it really subtle. 👌

[@SjaakShirly6559]

Great demo how to create a GOOD tone. Correct me if I am wrong: you use one (mono) input that is splitted to two different amps (stereo?) and after that stage it will be mono again? I think it is a good way to create a good John Mayer tone. Thanks.

[@TheStudioRats]

Depends on how you setup the gt1000. But yes it can be done both ways.

nice one!! cheers

[@danielferrera8773]

Great video. Do you think leaving the output signal in stereo after splitting it in a "trebly" Amp and a "bassy" one would work for let's say "faking" a dual guitar tone?

[@TheStudioRats]

Hi Daniel, can you explain what you mean by faking a dual amp tone?

[@danielferrera8773]

@@TheStudioRats I mean trying to make the left and right channels sound so different than it makes you think they are two guitars instead of only one.

[@leonisalpha4537]

Sweet sounds. I run mine in fx loop return of a tube amp. Do you think its a big difference running it in solid state power amp or something like a katana? I wonder how much of a difference tube power section really makes.

[@TheStudioRats]

I can’t say I’ve tried it, I’m sure your tube amp is the best way.

Hey Leonis, are you just in the FX Loop or are you in 4CM?

@@Techo1329 just fx return. Gt 1000 is a preamp and all fx. My amp is a single Chanel clean head pushing 2x12. Self biasing 40w power amp basically.

[@ledhendrix5054]

Personally if I'm working on a new amp tone I have to turn of everything apart from the amps I'm working on. No reverb , no delay , no compression, nothing.

[@retrorick3941]

About 30 years ago I saw this great video of Robin Trower teaching guitar playing, one things he cover was setting up his 2 guitar heads in series, a Fender and a Marshall, he said you can get the sweetness of the Fender and the crunch of the Marshall. I'm not sure if it's possible to remove the cab from the first amp on the GT-1000. Have you experimented with amps in series?

[@TheStudioRats]

Hi retro Rick, to run in series, you would be running one amp into the other. Even though it’s possible in the gt I can’t see it sounding good.

[@rockkstah2550]

It doesn’t make sense to me that you set a bright amp using the neck humbucker on a thin line tele, why don’t you just flip the switch to bridge pick up? and set amps to compensate for both? During band rehearsal, or live I’m always on a bridge pick up and that’s what many use in a live setting, if neck pick up is your preference and that’s what your shooting for great. But with the consideration that there are other frequencies in play here with other band members blasting through FOH, let alone IEM, wedges. I set up my GT1000 with the consideration of my swamp ash body maple fretboard a P90 in the Bridge mid and neck single coils a 5 way switch and a 500k pot volume and with the consideration that there are 4 other people in the band putting out different frequencies . What you just set up might sound fantastic just you in a studio bedroom but live, with four other musicians and another guitar player, your gonna find out quick that what sounds great in the bedroom 9 out of 10 will NOT survive in a live setting. Just sharing something I’ve learned many years ago doing live gigs up to today.. All my settings I use for live sounds are horrible by itself in the comforts of my living room, but in a band context at band live dynamics, it sounds awesome...

[@TheStudioRats]

With all respect, what makes you think the way you do it is right and the way someone else does something is wrong? If something works for you then great.

Look like GT1000 is more like a controller, you are doing all you tweaking on the software.
