[@freefromleftwing]

This workshop is the most extended explanation about the GX I ever seen . A must if someone will buy it . Cheers.

[@tianjay]

Thanks for watching!

[@sentientcardboarddumpster7900]

Slim pickins for tutorials on this thing. I've noticed theres been a few recently, like this one, that finally give great guidance for it.

[@johnnyboywonder]

Dude. You’re an absolute legend for doing these videos on the gx-100. Just wanted to throw some appreciation your way.

[@tianjay]

aww, thanks mate, i really appreciate it!

[@jimcrabtree5205]

Thank you so much for this video mate. I bought a GX100 yesterday and of all the videos i've watched to try and work out how to get it set up yours is the best. The way you've ordered your presets and button assignments is exactly what i've been looking for. thanks also for putting your patches on the tone exchange! I bought this because the band i've just started, we want to play such a wide variety of songs that it was the only way i could get all the sounds i need and keeping them ordered and tidy like you have done is the only way. Thanks again!

[@MustangBasssman]

Thank you TJ you just saved me $3087, as I also live in Australia and would go crazy if I had to send back the Quad to Finland for a simple repair. Great video and well explained, Cheers

[@tianjay]

Thanks for watching, glad it helped!

[@10smdjbtk]

Sounds great. I've got this equipment and I'm starting to use it too. I can't believe I got it for this price, it's a god piece of equipment and I'm totally excited about it.

[@neevious]

I got my GT8 in 05 and lost the manual. Never could figure much out till i stumbled across your videos now that sucker is dialed in. I got a helix a few years back but still use the GT8. Thanks

[@tianjay]

That’s great to hear, glad to help!

[@perrar1na]

Yes the GT-8 has one control switch that can do magic

[@Barflew1]

Liked & subbed.Thanks for the thorough walk-thru of how you set this up.Using your Assigns is the way to go for sure,for setting it up Your Way.I have an RC-600,that has 16 Assigns and I'm using every 1.Your video gave me the Kick I needed to set my GX-100 up to use the Assigns the way that will work best for me.Really like your guitar with the Evertune.Had an Evertune,need to get 1 again. Best Regards

[@tianjay]

Thanks mate.. yeah, i love the Evertune, I’ve been a Floyd guy for over 30 years but since using the Evertune, I’ve never been so in tune! 😂

[@blackmanx5845]

Really appreciate this video and congrats! I love my GX-100 but as a hobbyist, I just haven't had the time to jump into making this thing work the way I want it to. So much potential in this thing and I just need to apply myself and learn it. Why are there so few videos about the GX-100 out there, when I do a search for YT vids, it seems that there is nothing. Liked, sub'd and turned notifications on hoping you will release some more videos using this unit. Your video was very inspiring for me, thanks.

[@tianjay]

What sort of videos would you like to see?

[@bobplumb4501]

Same here 😅

[@thahoustonbassrunnaz4389]

I agree 💯 percent

[@SerkanBerksoy]

Really nice content, thank you. This was the information I was looking for. Completely useful compared to other high level review videos.

[@tianjay]

Thanks mate.. well, I’m not paid like a lot of high-end reviewers… 😜 I just relay from my own personal user experience because I do use these things in the real world. Glad you appreciate it.

[@DavidDennis68]

A great comparison vid and explanation of the GX100. I've been thinking about getting one and I think I'm convinced! For use in 4 cable method with a live tube amp (and having all the modelling on tap as well)..

[@tianjay]

Thanks. I’m actually hoping to do an in depth 4 cable method video shortly showcasing the GX100 as a dedicated FX unit

[@DmitriSkif]

I'm struggling between BOSS GX-100 and classic MS-3 for the same reason. This tiny stompbox do the same for me (FX sections without amp modelling + amp control via relay port), but costs less and occupies smaller area. But GX-100 is a full-functional guitar processor with awesome AIRD amps. MS-3 not and can't be used without an amp.

[@davidosborne8562]

Best video showing brilliant switching capabilty....for real world gigging .......

[@tianjay]

Thanks David, this method has been serving me great for my gigs.

[@kbrmusic8884]

Bro, I’m sold on the GX100 just because of this video. Thank you!

That's great to hear mate, for it's price-point, it really is a great unit!

[@ogmakefirefiregood]

I had my GX100 for about a year. I decided to upgrade to the Quad Cortex. After 3 weeks, i returned the QC. I found myself really missing the workflow of the GX100. If it sounds good, it is good.

[@swardmusic]

Struggled with it muself. So digital sounding. Back to my pod go (that ive dialled in A LOT. )

[@Charvel4ever]

Thank you for the videos! I’ve had mine awhile and have changed and made my own or modified the presets but mostly used the touchscreen. I see you use the a more in depth screen for changing sounds.

[@carlosaguirre8457]

Thank you so much for all the information you sharing, I'm very happy with my GX-100. keep enjoy, ! saludos desde México

Thanks heaps Carlos, I’m glad you found my info helpful! I’m preparing to do another Foot Switch Flexibility video which takes this concept another step further so if you’re not already subscribed and getting notifications, please do, so you don’t miss it. Cheers T

I gig my GX100 several times and love it.

[@tianjay]

Yeah, it’s a great pedal for live, very functional!

[@guitarans]

It is allways interesting, when you dive into some thin Mr Tian.. I remember way back i got some dvd or videos with you playing the GT-8.. Thanks alot, for all the insperation..

[@tianjay]

Thanks so much, I’m glad you enjoyed it

[@tianjay]

Ah, thanks man, appreciate the kind words 😊

[@hazuno8028]

im sold. after much research, will bet my money on this..

[@seancook2264]

great review. Currently torn between paying the extra and going for the GX-100 or the GP-200 by Valeton. Currently learning a set list which will use some of those Wah / octave type elements. 👍🏼

[@JPG747]

What did you decide on? I sent my GP200 back and got the GX100 but to be honest I think I should have kept the Valeton, there was very little in it in terms of capability, but where the Valeton really scored was the software, just so easy and intuitive to use unlike BTS. The GX is a good choice if you have lots of time to invest in the complex stuff it can do, but its a deep rabbit hole! I Use mine as a pedalboard for this it is excellent, though the Valeton willmdo the same for less money.

[@n3ssaya972]

What do you mean? The BTS is very straightforward.

[@CinemaKev24]

Big fan of the GX and what it can do at this pricepoint. The only flaw I've seen so far is the annoying warble when downtuning a clean amp model to Eb. Not noticable with dirty amps though. IRs take a little tweaking, but do sound a bit better than the stock IRs. And yes, the flexibility in button assigns is amazing.

[@tianjay]

Yeah, Boss have never been know for great Pitch Shifting unfortunately..

[@RMS12.2]

A gx owner here. Where do you find your IRs?

[@tianjay]

Actually I've bought a lot over the years of using many modellers. I initially bought the Redwirez Bigbox which has a really diverse range of IRs, but since I've bought some Ownhammer, York Audio, Amalgam.. there's so many great options, they all offer something different from a sonic perspective and it's just a matter of auditioning them to see what you like.. there's plenty of freely available IRs available too if you're not interested in purchasing them.

[@CinemaKev24]

@@tianjay My first MultiFX was a Korg A5, around 1990, before getting into the Digitech RP stuff. The GX is my first dive into IRs. I just grabbed the free Celestian V30 IR. Similar to the free York, but sounds more open. The York is a closed Mesa 2x12, which will definitely appeal to the metal crowd.

[@Dla_TlauAldrin]

Thanks for your review of the GX 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽 btw can you please dialed in the crazy train tones...im stuck 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@tianjay]

Hi, creating “artist” presets is not really my thing but you should jump on one of the Boss Forum pages or the GX100 thread on The Gear Page, I’m sure someone would be able to help you out

[@MJsap13]

How do you change banks if the bank buttons are programmed to do other things?

[@tianjay]

This method doesn’t allow that however i address this in a follow up video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2XLhZimatmgptU hope that helps.

[@cloudo88]

Great video, and I've decided to buy one after seeing it.. still have a quick question: How do you program 2 sounds on 1 preset button? I been googling it but seem to be unable to find it :)

[@tianjay]

You do it by utilising the “Current Number” assignment which allows you to toggle up to 20 parameters within a single patch with the currently selected preset switch, so it’s easy to toggle between 2 amps all with different fx on or off.. This video that i did explains it and is probably a great one to get you started - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5e8mGidmc2Ib6Msi=biS1FmJfrWOJO_QG

[@cloudo88]

@@tianjay Thank you so much for helping out! I will watch the KZbin url right away, I just Received mine today, I'm so thrilled!

[@davExperience]

very interesting video. How did you make it so that the first button adds the delay to the patch, while the other buttons change the patch? I've also had it for more than 1 year but I haven't managed to do something like this .Thank you

[@tianjay]

Hi, that’s done in the assignment setup. Check out my video here -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5e8mGidmc2Ib6Msi=ch5PffjNM7880GnF where i go through the set up.

[@JPG747]

Sadly your liveset does not load properly into the GX100 with firmware 2.02 it puts the 4 patches in separately so you cannot use switches 1-4 to cycle between them. I do like the GX100 as a pedalboard to select effects, but couldnt trust it in live use for anything else.

[@tianjay]

thanks for the “heads up“… I will look into that and see why.
