Boss GX100 - my HONEST opinions after 4 months... is it worth it?...

[@yaz78]

Ive just bought it. Listened to what seller said and I'm convinced to get it. Was going to get the old model but he changed my mind especially the touchscreen and downloading new sounds if available features. Impressive

[@ogmakefirefiregood]

I have used this pedal for a year now. I decided to upgrade to a Quad Cortex. After 2 weeks, i took the QC back to Sweetwater. The amp models in the boss are great and very responsive. I no longer worry there is a better tone out there. You can't beat this product especially at this price point. The effects are wonderful and very tweakable. I use the Eventide h90 for added effects at church.

[@squirelova1815]

Freakin' BOSS! They very often unexpectedly just blow my mind with their continuing accomplishments and attention to Quality and even concerning the quality of the effects themselves. I think I was accustomed to overlooking and taking good 'ole affordable Boss for granted since the 80's until I understood their high level of expertise and historic significance better.

[@tonyd9600]

Thanks for a great video Andy, I've had mine for 3 weeks and I'm well pleased. Love the tones, reverbs and delays but I'm a modulation guy as well and the stereo chorus', overtone and pitch shifting are a joy. So much more to discover. The touch screen and controls are ok but everything is much easier when you use the usb to connect to a laptop or pc to the Boss Tone Studio software. Top tip though, is to make sure you save your changes before changing to another patch or you're in a world of pain as you lose all your patch settings. Agree with you also about the volume pedal. I've upgraded from an old GT-10 and am used to a much more substantial and solid feel to the FV. I've had to adjust the FV settings to the slowest setting to get a smooth volume transition. I also set the volume to remain 30% on, in the fully off position, in some patches so it doesn't kill the sound if you accidentally pull off too far. I also picked up a good tip from Glen DeLuane; You can set the Tuner so that when the FV is in the fully off position the polyphonic tuner cuts in automatically. A handy feature...

[@mathzur5150iii]

Hi How do you feel the pitchshifting . Until How many semi tones in metal hi gain dors it sound well. ?

[@sixtyaffairs]

I have the same history , with Kempers and Amps. I am now very satisfied with my GX 100 and a Harley Benton 2 x 12 FRFR Box. For Home use I play it over a my Kemper Power Cabinet and for recording straight into the DAW Interface . My to go Amp Model is the Boutique Amp. It can do everything from clean to crunch. My Gain Stages are the T-Scream and the Clean Boost. The Kemper Cabinet is a special Tip I can recomment. Try it with your GX100 and I promise you will be surprised. The negative thing about that speaker , it's not very loud.

[@MOAB-UT]

Can you change guitar sounds when you overdub? How is the looper? I like my new Ampero II however you are relegated to only one tone in the looper. If you change patches, that is changed in the looped playback which is not great. What other modelers do you like- how about the GX1000?

Thanks man!

[@philbrannigan5854]

Thanks Andy, this is really useful. The main problem I have with programmable systems is for live use. I can program up a sound at home that's perfect, but when I get to rehearsals or gigs, what worked at home often needs to be tweaked for the outside world. With most devices I've used in the past, editing a patch just using the screen and controls on the device isn't a practical option, but I don't want to be booting up a laptop before a gig starts to use patch editor. The GX-100 looks like it's easy enough to tweak patches in the device itself without a laptop and for me that makes it worth considering for live use.

[@peterschaefer1665]

That is what global eq is for my friend

[@philbrannigan5854]

You're right, although with the devices I've used in the past (and the Boss Katana I currently use), you'd still have to boot up a laptop to get to the global EQ settings. The attraction with the the GX-100 is that it looks like you could produce your patches just using the device, without ever having to use a laptop.

[@richardmorris363]

Same here. I’ve owned many multi-effects units. Zoom G7, G3, G2, Boss ME50, ME 70, GT8, GT100, GX100, GT1000, Helix LT and PodGo. Eleven Rack and Headrush. And finally a Mooer GE300. Bought and sold all my pedals, moving between $2,000 worth of pedals on boards and the MFs… The thing that always was the Achilles heal of MF units for me was/is the user interface. Specifically the ability, or lack thereof, to reach down and quickly make changes. Not dramatic reprogramming, but minor tweaks like volume of a preset or the delay mix. I am currently very happy with my expensive pedals on a large board. Except… it’s so frickin heavy. Tweaked my 61 year old back yesterday wrestling it out the door to the back of the Pathfinder. Not again. My wife sez “you’re getting too old for all that” So, I ordered another GX-100. I got a little frustrated with it last year when I had owned it. I think I can work around it this time. It does have the best UI I have used so far. Most notibly you can assign the 4 knobs below the display to control many different parameters. Example, set a know on each preset as a volume, one as delay mix, the other two EQ. One thing to be aware of, Boss MFs have SO many ways you can change parameters/settings that its easy to get paralysis by analysis. Keep it simple. Tweak as you get more accustomed to the possibilities.

Very tempted by this unit! I have a Hotone Ampero and it has tons of potential, but it's just not intuitive or user friendly at all. I feel like it's constantly fighting me instead of helping me. The GX100 looks a lot easier to use.

[@andydavid9]

It’s really easy to use! I’m not great when it comes to new guitar technology but I knew exactly how to use this straight out of the box

[@MOAB-UT]

Really? I hoave the Hotone Ampero 2 and barely read the manual and I am up and running. The only main complaint thus far is that I have been unable to change guitar tones while overdubbing. Is that true? If so, it might have to go. That would be a huge oversight. That is the main point of an overdub- layer "different" tones and it is important to me. The cleans are nice- the crunch tones are somewhat meh. The effects so far are ok but not amazing. In fairness, I have not even used the PC editor yet. Mostly using the stock presets. I really like the form factor and touchscreen. It locks so no guitar cable will effect the screen- unlike with this Boss. Do you have any tips for me? Does changing the IR or Cabs make a big difference?

[@lessthanpinochet]

I bought a Hotone Ampero new in 2019 and it turned into a brick exactly two years afterwards just when the warranty expired. It sounded really bad up until the third firmware update (18 months after release) and the latency was so bad it was impossible to record anything with it. The sounds after the 4th or 5th update were ok at best. My Nux MG30 that I paid much less for completely destroys it in every way.

[@MOAB-UT]

@@lessthanpinochet I believe you. I bought the Ampero II. Cleans were good. Dirty- no great. Touchscreen good. Looper was great except I could not change the tone for the overdub without changing the original part- epic FAIL. DSP was light. When they release an Ampero III, it will have good potential as a backup modeler. Great form factor and low price. That said, it if bricks in 2 years the value is not really there. The Nux MG30 is pretty decent. When you want to upgrade, look at a lightly used FM3, or if you can swing it, a FM9 Turbo. You will be happy!

I know this video is old, but you can tighten the pedal on the GX-100 to offer more resistance as well as change its sensitivity to give you a different response. I think the included pedal works great but it definitely won't hold up against a standalone expression pedal.

[@AveragePokeCollector]

Have you checked out the line 6 pod go? i think that would now give this a run for the money, nice comparison.

[@johnanderson9713]

great video, your fender strat sounds amazing, can you give some details about it? cheers!

[@mathumphreys]

I've been using my GX-100 for about 6mths now and I'm happy with the sounds. The biggest problem for me is that the GX-100 changes settings when my guitar lead touches the touch screen while I'm playing. The touchscreen on a floor unit is a problem for me.

[@MOAB-UT]

That should be an easy fix. Your are a guitar player- be creative. Run your cable under the unit or use a rubber band to tie it back and prevent it from hitting the screen. You could also very easily affix a small plastic cover over the screen with some double sided tape or velcro. Cover it with a large magnifying glass and you will see the display even better! My new Ampero II has a LOCK button. I guess that is to help prevent the issue you are having. Really like the unit- only $400 and sounds good- especially the clean tones. I am not however able to change tones when I overdub/looper. Can you do that on the Boss? Like one clean loop and a dirty overdub? I find that lack of that feature annoying and shortsighted. That is the whole point of looping- to layer different tones.

[@MJPGuitar]

You could also just go wireless

[@doublea4502]

there is a button on the face of the board that you can actually LOCK the screen (won’t respond to any touches) until you unlock the screen again. That would be my recommendation otherwise like D G said just be creative with your able routing 😎😊

i have a boss gt1000, i bought it when it first came out and what sold me was you can have 2 seperate chains having an acoustic sim in one and an electric running through one of the pre amps in another with seperate effects on each, so i can strum my electric guitar and fade in the electric signal with the footpedal making it sound like an electric guitar and acoustic guitar playing together, mind blowing, can the gx100 do this? if so i may buy one as a back up

[@FunkAdelik]

The GX100 does offer dual signal chains. As far as the blend, I think you are referencing the mixer block that comes after the divider, which you can assign to the expression pedal to change the mix between either in dual mode. If you could post a picture of your GT1000 mixer and the overall signal chain on your main patch, I could attempt to rebuild it and let you know how it works. The GT1000 has a lot more computational power, so you can have many more effects, but for dual chains and a three or four different effects, the GX100 will work great.

Ah crap. A knob fell off your Schecter? :( I have a GT-1000 and I have it boiled down to 5 patches. But I agree, the dynamic realism is exceptional. Also like that they don't reference actual amps. So it's more to what you like vs what you "think" you should be using. TBH, most people don't know what amps sound like anymore anyway. So were already in a post-amp world. And drunk bar punters don't care about fancy gear, or how complex your patch sounds. They care if it sounds like tune you play..and whether you can play. Other than that, they're drunk, they could care less :). Best Regards and Best Wishes!

Like others said, was a bit forgotten on Boss in al the turmoil of Fender, Headrush, etc... Hoever, 2 questions, and I hpe you still answers those on a year old vid ;-) - The icons seem very simple. Isn´t it difficult to distinguish different versions of delay or drive or reverb? 9Does it even HAVE different versions of those) - Is it possible to create multiple signal chains? I main like that you can by switching a patch or something like that, you get an entirely differently designed chain active?

[@andydavid9]

Hey dude! Thanks for the comment. Yeah it’s a really good unit! I’ve actually moved over to the Line 6 HX STOMP XL, so I’d encourage you to at least take a look at that if you haven’t yet. Yes, there’s different types of delays. I think a handful of delays and reverbs. There will be a lag when switching from one preset to another. The way you get around this is by using one preset in manual mode and basically use it like a normal pedal board.

2 questions: can you connect an external pedal and have it function like the expression pedal, so that I can choose to use it as a wah or volume pedal? And is this pedal board overkill if I just want to use the effects? For over 10 years now I have been using Boss GT-8 and GT-100 in my setup but I don't care for the amp simulation, I just use the effects in conjunction with the four cable method. But Boss keeps focusing more and more on amp simulation, so I'm probably paying a serious amount for something I'm not using, but I don't know what could be a better alternative, I'm so used to my Boss effects... and I need that midi functionality to switch my amp channels.

Yes and they sound and feel great under the fingers, and I've been playing through valve amps for 40 plus years and mine sounds and feels just like playing through a valve amp, amazing how they do it, but you have to create your own tones ideally to get your sound including changing the cab models tweaking the mic position to your liking, which made a massive difference also changing to the 4x12 or 8x12 stack,I have created my own using the BOSS X high gain amp also tweaking the amp settings for gain and scrolling through and tweaking amp settings, adding reverb, delay, wha, and a Tube Screamer with drive and level around 1 o'clock for an 80s Hard Rock/Metal rhythm and singing lead tones. It's like most modellers, no one creating these tones knows what your ideal tones are, so they are just starting points as only you know what you like. Too many people think they'll sound brilliant for them out of the box, but rarely do as only you can create your tones.

What’s the difference between a gx and gt?

[@andydavid9]

The differences that I’m aware of - are that the GT1000 has more foot switching capabilities because it’s physically a bigger unit. Also boss’s more expensive 500 series effects are in the GT1000 and 1000 core but not in the GX100. I actually bought the GT1000 core and then found out about the gx100, so I returned the GT to buy the GX and I honestly don’t notice a difference between 2 of the same patches.

[@MJPGuitar]

The gx also doesn’t have XLR outs

[@montiac22]

Great video and thanks for doing it. Have you ever played this thru a P.A. or FRFR? Thanks

[@andydavid9]

No dude, I use this through a matched pair of Yamaha HS5s

[@DannyGuitar12]

Does it have a noise gate?

[@andydavid9]

Yeah man

[@musik4life24]

Hey how does it sound with the 4 cable method ?

[@andydavid9]

I haven’t been able to do that yet dude

[@waltervenicio]

They need to improve their UI, dont you think? Quite old school.

[@andydavid9]

@@waltervenicio yeah I think the tone studio could look a little more modern

[@Aston1971]

I agree. GX-100 is great. can I get your patches ?😊

[@andydavid9]

Yeah dude, have a look at my channel. One of my main patches is linked for tone share

[@AutisticCuriosity]

Only 2 seconds of delay - noooo ifthas 500 series stuff in it then yes I would have … guess I’ll just have to wait till get series stuff gets a better display

[@walterdeminicis737]

I bought this and I think the sound 100% sucks compared to VSTs. Idk what is It, the sound is simply less full and clear. It's way thinner and sounds fake to me. Did I get something wrong? lol

[@rodolphep0nthus555]

Try tweaking the IR's, Cabs, sims, output options and stuff. Not sure you'll manage to go somewhere.. I bought the ME90, which seems very close to this, and after a few days of intensive work trying all the cabs, IR and stuff, just couldn't make it sound good when OD and distortion, plugged directly in a very good tube amp (tweed style PTP glorious thing). It just sounded horrible and artificial. What I found out on forums after sending it back is there is a tweak (not mentioned in the manual) to disengage the IR, to have a decent sound on a tube amp. But man, all that bullshit AIRD and stuff just to find out you can't use it on a tube amp without cutting half of the technology off? I mean, these things seem to be engineered at 90% for the digital crowd that play on monitors or full range speakers, plugged on a mixing desk or sound card. I think it's useless to buy these devices if you plan to plug it in a vintage style tube amp It'll totally ruin your beautiful tone. I'm not at all and old schmuck who doesn't want to use modern technology.. I'm synth and electronic music geek as well, very aware of every new stuff But these modeling devices are made for computers, not amps (good ones)

[@jackprice7828]

How does it ambient.

[@andydavid9]

I’ll have to design a patch and do a video on it 😉

[@ivangajtovich4655]

First boss pedal that you just cant make a siple hi gain distorsion

[@gibsonguitarplayer]

No aux in? Cant play along with backing tracks??

[@andydavid9]

You got it man, there’s no aux option

[@СергейЦвикевич]

You've got a gorgeous Shecter! Love Shecter guitars! What model is that? Cheers! I've got a full fat GT1000 and love the tones. GX100 seems to be a good deal, too!

[@andydavid9]

Thanks bro! It’s a Schecter Nick Johnston traditional

[@СергейЦвикевич]

@@andydavid9 oops, I meant the other guitar, it's black with a white pickguiard and two humbs! It says shecter on the headstock but can't clearly see the model name))) Cheers

[@andydavid9]

@@СергейЦвикевич ahh it’s actually gold but you can’t see it clearly on this vid. It’s a Schecter pt fastback

[@СергейЦвикевич]

@@andydavid9 thx man, now I know what to aim for. Looks and sounds really dope!

[@jimb9473]

How does it sound through headphones?

[@andydavid9]

Honestly, nowhere near as good as through speakers in my opinion. I wouldn’t use the gx with headphones, and if I needed to use headphones - I’d just use a plugin

[@56brever]

I listen through headphones alot and think it sounds incredible. As good or better than my plugins.

[@SoniaGail]

But all these u beaut multy effect can still not replicate a valve amp with a real distortion pedal

[@andydavid9]

I'd agree for the "in the room" tone. I personally think that these units sound a lot better for recordings, and are easier to dial in. A mic'd up amp will never sound the same in a mix to how it does in the room. But at the end of the day, it is totally subjective.

[@Ibanezboy21]

anyone know if with the additional blutooth adapter can you connect the device to blutooth speakers?

[@56brever]

The GX-100 has the lowest latency of all modelers if that matters to you.

[@markjohnson1020]

Be warned! You cannot use the Boss Tone Studio app to load IR's. You must use a separate app to load IR's in both GX100 and the GT1000 units! It's... kinda a pain in the balls.

[@56brever]

You now can with new firmware 2.01

[@MrScatalog]

Does this pedal do dual amps?

[@andydavid9]

Yeah dude

[@Bringyourownhammer]

Are you still liking it in 2024

[@andydavid9]

I've sold it now. I think it's still a really good product, and very easy to use! I just switched to the HX stomp XL as I like the consistent updates and smaller form factor. I did a video on it, but the short of it is - they're both great! Just used for different scenarios. I'd use the boss more for live playing as the HX works better for studio.

[@Bringyourownhammer]

@@andydavid9 👍

[@allenexcequel]

what is the name of this fender pls?

[@andydavid9]

It’s a deluxe strat from 2015. Since been rebranded as the ultra series

[@jak.masters]

Yeah.....fkn...play that guitar to me *intense drag on cigarette*

[@andydavid9]

😂😂😂

[@stormprooftraining2012]

How do you call this a review? You don’t talk about any features

[@JaeHeme]

How do you set the levels so when changing patches (presets) at a live gig, the volume levels (lufs) are all the same/very close? Do you use the Master in the effects chain, or the Level on the preamp?

[@andydavid9]

I’m using the master in the effects chain dude. You get a view of the overall level for each patch so you can manually adjust it on the fly. However, if I’m going from a clean channel amp set up, to a dirty channel, sometimes the difference can be quite a lot so it might be a case of turning the level up on the amp for cleans as they run very quiet.

[@JaeHeme]

@@andydavid9 thanks for the reply....I'll give that a shot!

[@BillM.-tu3pq]

Andy, great demo and tones. Is your GX100 pluged into an amp ( if so tube or solid state ) or are you going direct to an intergace ? Cheers !

[@andydavid9]

Hey man, thanks! I’m going straight into a interface

[@Afroman86]

How is the looper on the GX100? Ive never had a looper so its better than having none but some say its not its strong point but assume it would be ok for basic use. Im thinking of pulling the trigger on this one competitors are POD GO and Heardush MX5 but i think the Boss wins.

[@andydavid9]

Hey man, I’ve just started using it and I love it. I think where the GX100 isn’t really aimed for a looper - more just for effects and amp sim, it is fairly standard. I use it to practise over a chord progression or even to layer up some guitars if I get an idea

[@MOAB-UT]

@@andydavid9 Can you change the guitar tone in the overdub without impacting the original loop? My Ampero II does NOT allow this and it's very annoying. I hooked up my Boss Looper to it but same deal until I realized I needed to go OUT to the Looper and use the headphones on the looper, not the Ampero. Seems sorted for now. BTW, the RC500 is a great looper and it has basic drum rhythm machine which sound decent- not amazing, but does the job. It's high quality audio- very high bit-rate or something. You can hear it.

[@CyberneticArgumentCreator]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the GX100 using the 15+ year-old Roland models paired with a cab emulator?

[@adityabali1939]

No they are not

[@AlbertoBonino-l9f]

Traduci

[@giuliodanelon6945]

I think metal tones from boss are horrible, since gt 100 they canot deliver a decent metal tone. I'm with a Moer Ge 200 and the tone is very good and organic while boss sounds like crap.

[@MOAB-UT]

save the cash and put it towards a real modeler e.g., the FM9

[@joaomanoel9922]

Too much talking.

[@johnbuell8035]

Finally… a modeller demo which doesn’t go straight to maximum gain, drop D chug and meaningless widdle
