things you can do with a BOSS GT-1 - comparing pitch shifting

[@heartworm35]

Wow! Had my GT-1 for three years now, and was looking for The Drop or Pitch Fork to cut on guitars needed when having sets using multiple tunings, cause i thought the pitch options in the Boss was just unusable for this... Just tried it and assigned the on/off to ext ctl2,3. Works like a charm! Thank you so much for that trick !! I was searching today wondering if it was possible to use the whammy to do exactly just that and came across you video! What a joy to have this in just 1 unit !!

[@leonardblavatsky8074]

just stumbled on this and appreciate the time you took to explain this. There's a whole world under the hood of a GT-1 that is a mystery to me!

[@normandaoust]

Fantastic, thanks for sharing! I've had my GT-1 for 2 years and I have never found such good instructions!

Gary, this trick saved me, thank you! I just switched over from the MS3 to the GT1 and it was driving me nuts that the Pitch Shifter performs so poorly in the GT1 compared to the MS3. I need that for emulating a bass guitar, i.e. -12 pitch wise. Thanks again!

I found that when using this through a combo amp and selecting the output setting for "stack amp" makes the tone sound waaaaaay better than selecting the combo amp settings

[@Andrey.Balandin]

Have you tried messing with the feedback setting on the pitch shifter in FX1 block? Maybe that would have cleared the wobbling or shimmering as you call it?

[@caelummeyers3531]

hey with the pedal bend im getting the sound of the guitars original tuning and the changed tuining at the same time just wonder how you got rid of the signal of the unchanged tuning

[@hoosierdaddy2308]

Gary. I know this is an older video, but can you do micro pitch shifting or fake it with this? Thanks brother.

[@tulioreisperfilmusical586]

Oh man. Thanks duuude!!!! 👊

[@Bazz_Player]

GT-1B can do like that ?

[@Sankhadada2.0]

Can we change scale with this??

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

Hey, how can I program one of the effects on the GT-1 so It would simulate the guitar tuned down a 1/2 step or a whole step? Thank you.

[@GarySchutt]

Use the Pedal Bend function on the wha and then you can change pitch steps in the parameters. You can go up or down chromatically. Then use the pedal to get to that pitch.

[@alexreis3615]

How about a video about the FEEDBACKER FX2? This effect has no usability at all for me. Horrible!

[@GarySchutt]

There is a few effects in it that are unusable but I will check it out and potentially do a video.

[@louieleal9986]

Can i go from standard tuning to drop d tuning ?

[@johnrefe]

no, BUT if you tune your guitar in drop D, than you can change it to drop C# ,C, B and so on, it downtunes whole guitar not just a string. So from standard E you go E flat, D standard and so on

[@yeetmixclear]

if only there was a way to use the whammy pedal to pitch shift down and use wah at the same time..

[@GarySchutt]

True. The auto wha in fx1 could do that but you wouldn't be able to control the sweep.

[@yeetmixclear]

@@GarySchutt its unfortunate, i even tried making an expression pedal with a potentiometer i found and it only lets you set a second expression pedal as volume and not wah

[@GarySchutt]

What about the boss expression pedal in the CTL1 jack assigned to wha? I wonder if that's possible.

[@yeetmixclear]

@@GarySchutt not sure, would be nice if it worked. also forgot to say i tried the method in the video for pitch shifting and it works very well, but on some patches it still somehow has a warbling effect on single notes

[@teleuser]

Can these things have a clean tone ?

[@techa980]

Yea they have plenty
