@BOSSchannel-I do really love your clean and bluesy tones but honestly high gain tones are really not that good as against pod go/ampero/mooer or even zoom.gt1000 core have somehow a bit better hi gain tones.in here the high gains seems bassy,harsh n muddy in my opinion.i hope you guys can definitely do better.the guy nailed the playing those classic songs.kudos bro

THE absolute BEST GX-100 demo on KZbin! I have been going from video to video of supposed demos of the GX-100 & having a permanent look on my face as if a skunk had just taken his final breath whilst parked directly underneath my nose... until NOW!! Knowing that BOSS gear is not only bullet-proof but sounds great as well, I was perplexed. YOU ROCK!!

[@sixstringsamurai77]

[@sixstringsamurai77]

😂 from the multi platinum album Supernatural, of course.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Nice playing! Lots of different styles, very cool. The GX-100 unit sounds great!

[@sixstringsamurai77]

Thank you!! Yeah I tried to cover a wide variety to show off how versatile the unit can be 👍

[@MrBostechman]

SRV, Maiden, Mayer, U2, Soundgarden - very close. You can still here a little of the digital aspect in there but for being able to plug this directly into a board it’s an amazing unit. I have it and every day I am learning how to tweak things. The EQ’s and compressors are essential for getting tones and small adjustments - use a flat EQ as a volume boost for instance or adjust mods to have your tone cut through more i the mix. Extremely versatile unit.

[@roncarter2188]

You nailed the SRV riff, well done my friend.

[@sixstringsamurai77]

Thank you! Really difficult to capture the SRV vibe on any modeller in my experience, since his sound was so much just about LOUDNESS and big strings. But I'm pretty happy with how close I got!

This is the best way to demo a pedal's capabilities - great job! Boss GX100 sounds fantastic but seems a bit out of my range. Would be great to see such a demo of Zoom G6 and Valeton GP200!!

WOW man this is a killer demo. So many genres, long enough to get the feel but short enough to not drag on. I thought the SRV one was spot on. Hoobastank haha what a throwback for me, sounded killer. Iron maiden also a top pick for me. Mine arrives this week can't wait to start tweaking.

[@accentontheoff]

@@sixstringsamurai77 Ah ok :)

[@accentontheoff]

If you don’t mind me asking you one more question. Some people say the Boss multi fx units have a slightly old school 80s/90s tone. Some also say the amps and preamps are not too great and prefer using IRs. You think this is true in the context of the Boss GX 100? The reason I am asking because I cannot demo this pedal where I live. And also because I plan to use it for home recording. Thanks!

[@fernandomoreno3148]

Wonderful demonstration. A question . Are these effects and tones really already on the pedal board??? Thank you very much for answering. Maravilosa demostracion . Una pregunta . Realmente estos efectos y tonos estan ya de fabrica en la pedalera ??? Muchas geacias por contestar .

[@scLsn]

First off, your playing, your various tone/song choices, just awesome, awesome, awesome. I had a GT1000core that I had to sell and I am trying to decide between buying it again or buying this. A lot of the gain tones sound very (for lack of better words) digital, is that something that can be ironed out with tweaking, or is it a limitation of the pedal? Naturally, I'm not expecting perfection at the price point or from a modeler period, I just want to know what I'm getting into. Thank you for creating this demo!

[@sixstringsamurai77]

Thanks for your comment! So, the modelling technology in both pedals is actually the same AIRD engine. Honestly, 99% of the tones I got in this video are just basic EQing without any advanced parametric or graphic EQs. You just have to spend some time to understand the amp models and how to make them work for you. I don't think they sound digital but they definitely sound clean and optimized for performance/mixing (hence they really shine in a musical context like this). Short answer - get whichever one works for you in terms of signal chain, switching, ins and outs etc, and the tone side should follow naturally if you spend a bit of time getting to know the BOSS amps :)

[@scLsn]

@@sixstringsamurai77 Thank you so much for the quick/detailed reply, you're awesome! You helped make my decision easy, I can't wait to tinker with one.

[@wandido2001]

Love it. I have the GT100 and looking to upgrade Can you use the assign for a foot switch to change from one effect to another? Eg. From Flanger to Tremolo? This is possible on the GT line by selecting FX and then type. Is that possible on the GX?

[@sixstringsamurai77]

No - because the signal chain works in a different way. You're not using an FX block with many types within it, you're basically just using a block with a specific effect like Flanger or Tremolo. But you could always just put all the effects in the chain and use Assigns to turn them on/off as desired
