Boss GX-100 - How Easy Is It To Create High Gain Guitar Tones?

[@BobbyBecker-t9j]

THIS IS THE BEST VIDEO OF,(How to set up this EFFECTs unit)!GOOD JOB OF EXPLAINING ,THE RIGHT WAY TO SET AND USE THE EFFECTS TO THE GUITAR 🎸! 👍✌️😎🎸🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶BOB.

❤Brilliant best 10mins tutorial I've ever seen on a GX100❤

[@stefanbukowski6568]

I like how you describe what you are doing and why you are doing it. It really helps to determine how to achieve the sound I want.

[@Live4NowOK]

When Boss and Roland get serious, the game changes completely.

[@billknudson7895]

I totally agree. This gizmo is the best thing since sliced bread. My journey started with the Scholz Rockman and continued through the Helix Effects module. I’m getting ready to buiId an uber-pedal board to be used through a few specific amps. I initially bought the GX-100 to have easy access to effects for when I’m looking for a quick and easy setup for my practice amps in another part of the house. However, I was not ready for the incredible sounds to be had. I might end up having rethink my whole approach!

[@nigelsmith721]

Just bought a GX-100 as replacement for a board of pedals. Delighted to find a raft of no-bullshit TSR vids to help shortcut the learning curve.

[@kcfreakster1]

Paul thanks so much for really useful instructional videos. You are an exception to all the over complicated noise on KZbin. Much respect from a plain ole layman!

[@Lethorio]

Great video, mate. Very easy to follow.

[@ChoatMusic]

Thanks Rat! I sat with my GX and this video, step by step, a few pauses and rewinds and the result was great so thank you I'll be sure to check out some of your patches for download save me a lot of time

[@Robbie28]

THIS is what i have been looking for. So,i can have one amp as my dirty sound and the other as a clean. One patch with both uses. This weekend i need to try this for sure TYVM sir, great video

[@micwalt]

Sounds great! I got mine a few days ago, and I'm loving it. Set up a killer preset for my tribute band, with a clean amp and a dirty amp, and plenty of switching options to create what essentially amount to 3 snapshots/scenes plus toggling a couple individual effects. Amazing piece of gear.

[@TheCyberMantis]

Watching your videos makes me want a GX-100.

[@TheStudioRats]

Its a really great unit.

[@billknudson7895]

Thanks, Paul, for an easy, methodical trip through the process of getting started with this amazing piece of gear. As you already know, life here in the states got turned upside down this past Tuesday, so I’ve had to turn to the things my life that lift me up, especially playing guitar. Really, I probably bought the GX-100 out of impulse, but once I plugged in, I knew I’d found a great sounding piece of kit (is that correct British terminology?) that could be a great distraction. I set up the unit last night for the first time using the four cable setup into a Blackstar HT-5RH MK II 5-watt head played through a Celestion Classic Lead 80. Even without fiddling with presets, I was blown away by what I heard. As you know, it only comes with a basic quick start guide, so I downloaded the full 95 page manual. Today I watched several KZbin tutorials, and yours turned out to be the best of the bunch. I truly appreciate you taking the time to put together a terrific video. Cheers!

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers Bill

[@renevanderbruggen731]

Thanks Paul - this an inspiration for playing around and really get to know this device

[@saulorobert]

Your video was extremely helpful! It was crucial for me as I was uncertain if the GX-100 could delivery a powerful and beautiful drive sound. And you were not only able to show it can be done but also HOW to do it. Thank you so much! You just got a new follower! Cheers.

[@TheStudioRats]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jorgemauriciomercado288]

Bought it today, so thankful you uploaded this video. I follow all your videos, especially Fractal’s !!

Cheers Jorge.

[@jonathanmcmaster8105]

Sounds fantastic👍 Boss nailed it as always!

[@jeffowen7897]

I enjoy these videos, you have a great way of explaining things. A few weeks ago you were extolling the GT-1000 Core, now you seem to have switched to the GX-100 exclusively, but presumably the comments and setup of the patch in this video apply equally well to GT-1000.

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers Jeff. I haven’t done a GT1000 vid for at least 6 months, but yes it all applies to the GT1000. All the best

Brilliant high gain tone. Ambient tone GX100 next, please

[@katsafone]

Paul, love the way you explain the features of the GX-100. I got one because of your videos. Excellent tutorials. I'd love to come up with a GX-100 preset that emulates the smooth Johnathon Cordy sweep tones

[@jameatermeany]

Thanks very much for this Paul! Awesome help! 👌

Thanks Paul ! This is a fantastic demo. Mine arrives on Monday and I'll be coming back to this demo for sure.

[@vincentvince196729]

I just subscribed... thank you for this interesting video... just got the GX saturday

Great instructions. Thank you. I finally got that gear and it's really sounds great. Maybe some firmware update is needed to correct slow changing and saving preset with apps. I hope Boss will do it.

[@voodootattoo9057]

Outstanding video and tone.

8:34 a shortcut for assignments in the effects view: long press the knob below CH SELECT and it will create a new assignment for you, though you'll still need to enable it and select CTL1 as source.

[@shawnshipstad9281]

Excellent video. Thank you. I am going to buy one of these soon. In the USA I have had offers for 500.00 New.

Wunderschöne Klang.

[@IamMusicNerd]

I was thinking about upgrading from my GT-1 to a GT-1000, but I might save $500 and just go with the GX-100 now.

[@jmorg1267]

I wish pedal demonstrators would list their signal chain in the description. I want to know how I’m hearing their results. Amp? Monitors? FRFR? I can usually find out somewhere in the comments cuz other folks have asked the same question but still….

[@Mart5000.]

Thanks very much this really helped 👍.

[@davelouis4004]

Hi Paul , I’ve seen some reviews of the GTX 100 , some say the drives are thin and lack lustre , you’ve blown that out of the water , how would you compare it to the Helix and Headrush ? , thanks

[@TheStudioRats]

Hi Dave, i don’t find the drives are thin at all.

[@Doodmeister]

Sounds f***ing awesome

[@TimKelly-n8t]

Thanks Paul, appreciate you putting this video out there. You always do such a great job explain in a way that I follow. You were extremely helpful with your Boss GT 1000 videos. What was your reason for changing to the GX 100 from the GT 1000?

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers , I didn’t change, Boss just needed product videos for the GX.

[@colindias4820]

Love your videoss Paul .. . Would love to see more on the gx 100 .. it's capapbilities. ..making tones of certian songs .. or guitar artists .. like satienani .. vai .. Eric Johnson .. .. Cheers ..have a great day ..!

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

Great instructional video! You really made the programming of the GX-100 simple & straightforward. MY boring 'probably a cliché by now' default: throw a Tube Screamer in front - makes every crunchy amp tone "more gooder"! LOL 😆 🎸 🎶 👍

[@jorgemauriciomercado288]

Great Toneeee !!

[@lucistheband6540]

Great video.. AWESOME sound!! Can we PLEASE let us know how you are set up? Output from Boss GX-100 is going into what? Tx

[@kbesner]

Rookie question - do you run this directly into a speaker cab, or is it still plugged into an amp, like you would a normal effects pedal? Thx!

[@cezarsantana]

One thing I haven't seen anybody explaining is how to get a blank patch to edit a preset from scratch. Even when I initialize a patch, I still have to remove every effect individually - there has to be a better way to do this. Any tips, anyone?

[@RolandoJrMareaLynnBasnig]

Its help a lot Sir😎

[@mixministermike]

If you push down on the knobs when you turn, they increase/decrease in multiples of 10 instead of 1

[@johnong2655]

Nice explanation. However, since you're using the same kind of amp block, I think the assign control would be the best solution instead of wasting the divider section

[@VintageRadius]

Very helpful, Paul. I’m rather new to your channel and really am enjoying what you guys are putting out. I’m considering taking the plunge into a digital solution for playing at home and recording. I’ll try to tune into your live show and ask then; I’d really like to hear your opinions on pros/cons of some of the top options. Specifically GX100 and HX Stomp.

[@TheStudioRats]

Hi James, happy to answer any questions you might have, the show is live every Wednesday 8pm BST

[@shane1v]

Great demo, thank you! What do you guys think is the easiest to use and program of the popular multi-effect units for cover band gigging? -Ones with a nice screen like this, not just an led with a number for patches. Thank you!

[@alistairdarby]

Great vid. Silly question but how do you create a blank patch?

[@moonster1235]

What cab did you use? Sounds awesome!

[@Scubasgamecorner]

Great video.....This unit looks great. I have a couple of questions I play mostly by myself in the basement Would it be better to play something like this through Powered speakers , a small combo amp or other... Looking to get a good sound without having to blow my windows out. any help would be great.

[@pascalbourhis]

Hi Paul (from France ;-) and thank you for your videos about the GX-100 ! One question: did you have setup your Global EQ or you are using the EQ defaults settings? If yes it will be very usefull for us to share your own settings... thanks

[@kcfreakster1]

Hey Paul, all of your tutorial videos are exceptional, but I have a question. I'm using my GX-100 direct through the PA at my church for Praise & Worship except it just sounds bad! We've tried "gain staging" but it still sounds bad. Someone suggested I may need to turn off the amp simulation in the unit. Is that a viable option and is it possible? Thanks again for sharing all your knowledge.

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Paul. Great video sir. Does this have any pitch shifter tones effects like a harmonizer ? Thanks so much sir. ♥️🤘♥️

[@DouglasLeongye]

Great tones!! Just one question, what pickup do you have on the bridge?? Thanks!

[@genemoore1]

Any chance of you doing a brown sound patch? Early Van Halen? Would love to see the process.

[@romieomichael]

Wow very nice overdrive tone,I am interested

[@isaacisback8786]

Hello, Thanks for that : very instructive but, if I may, just two little questions : Is it possible to mix bass amps and effects with guitar amps and effects, whether it be on a single chain or a divided one ? Like, if I want to use a bass comp and distortion but with a guitar amp, or use a divider block to run parallel a bass amp and a guitar amp with matching speakers on both, is it doable ? Then, in case of divided chain, can I get each one on a different out so that I can record each on a different track simultaneously on my daw (and, then, getting the clean path on one track and the distorted one on another, for example) ? Thank you.

[@rtroiani]

Love your videos for the Katana, and I used some of your settings on the WAZA Air that worked using Katana settings. I’ve had a Pod Go for about a year, but ready to go back to Boss. Love the multiple guitar input setups as my go-to guitar is a Carvin DC150 and just got a Kiesel with Lithium pickups that are very hot. Do you know if Boss came up with any easy way to copy sounds between their products vs. recreating everything manually?

[@RodRanDusted]

Paul is there a volume setting to level the volume between patches? I have volume jumps between some of my patches. Thank you!

[@Vienzbow]

Do the l e d light indicators change to the color of the effect you are using?

[@jepatawaran]

Hello there. Can you stack 3 different overdrive and distortion in series? Thanks!

[@chriswarren3381]

Hi Paul how do I add the volume control on this patch I have no control over the volume pedal Cheers Chris

[@CesarHernandez-lm9rc]

Can you make a video about “curnum” function and how to set it up and use it?

[@grcmusic]

Nice tutorial,Paul . Good to see you’re doing well :)

[@TheStudioRats]

[@vegasaxeman]

Thanks mate! Fir

[@mtaskapablo]

What pickups do you use?? Thanks!

[@flowjesticmotion8253]

Hey Paul! When running the gx100 through the power amp in on katana MK2 100 with IRS off, do these settings still apply? Any additional advice? Thank you

[@TripleTriggersBand]

Can you play a loop riff at the same time you are dragging effects in the chain so you can quickly hear the difference?

[@palashmondal2841]

Sir I requested to you clean twin patch like gr55 ..do a video boss gx100..

[@jasilvapt]

Paul just got the gx 100 my only question is how do i make/or find a blank patch to create my own patches? Can't find it anywhere?

[@myguitarcloud5987]

Sounds great Mr. Paul! I received my gx100 two weeks ago, and it's great, especially in a terms of easiness of use and programming, no doubt about that! I play it through pa, and I think that only week point are internal ir cab simulation. Do you think that too?

[@georgwassner9427]

Is this a good and useful unit for bass as well?

[@jayzkiefernandez3414]

1 question sir on this patch you made did you use an amp with fcm?

[@shawntapley6733]

Are there any plans for a side by side comparison with the gt100? is it worth it to upgrade?

[@everythingbobbywolfe]

I do not have an option of a blank patch

[@Nicolae8607]

Great video,can you pls tell me your opinion about sound and feel between QC and Boss Gx100? 🤘 I know you have blueguitar amp and you like more than QC

[@chutti123]

great vdo thank you. Studio monitor or FRFR for Boss GX-100? please recommend.

[@TheStudioRats]

Studio monitors every day.

[@markclarke6428]

Where's the blank patch to start??

[@paulpetkovtrio]

7:50 wrong, you left some effects in mono aftert the Mixer - so the split signal sounds different

[@AlienProbe73]

Just got mine yesterday very happy so far, how do I create a blank user patch like you have at the start of the video? Do I have to manually delete the blocks or can it be done with one action?

[@TheStudioRats]

You need to delete everything in a patch.

[@joebowbeer]

Once you've created an INIT patch, you can copy it as needed. The Tone Studio app can help with bulk operations. Some users create entirely blank set lists in Tone Studio for bulk INIT.

[@jureksroka245]

What humbucker do you have in this Stratocaster?

Is it possible to make dual path to go foh with cab sim and to stage monitor without ir and not loosing effects after cab sim?
