Boss GT-1 - OUTPUT SELECT.

[@jimincornwall1925]

This video is truly a fantastic learning tool! I am just about to purchase the GT-1, to replace my venerable old Line 6 PodPro, which I have had in my recording desk for quite a few years. I was mainly looking for a lighter, more portable effects pedal system that I can play through my Blackstar amp now that I'm going to be playing live again, so I am pleased to be told how to be able to use the COSM feature through the amp, but also to patch in the GT-1 into my mixer and monitors in my home recording studio as well. Thanks for your great series, and now I'm going to watch the rest of your videos NOW!

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hey there, Jim! Thank you very much for the kind words, they are much appreciated! 😊 It makes me happy to know that my videos are doing a good job here on KZbin! Indeed, the GT-1 is great, and it comes will full Boss quality - excellent! I enjoy mine as well, and I've used it live a lot of times, and it sounds great straight to the PA, using the onboard COSM preamps and cabinets. You let me know if you need anything, Jim. I'd be more than happy to help out and answer any questions you might have. Thank you! Have an excellent day Cheers.

Hello, I have a marshall micro stack, the one with two individual speakers. I want to know if I can use the gt1 direct in to the speakers, without running it through the head

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hello there, Hector. No, that can't be done. The GT-1 can't power just the speakers... You will need the head as well, like normal. I hope this makes sense.

[@stephaniewong2966]

What are the reasons when I directly plug my IEM to the “phone” output hole, what I heard is ridiculously loud 🥲 Looking forward to your reply I am super helpless right now 😔🥺

[@stephaniewong2966]

But when I go to some venues to play live, the PA staff said the volume of my guitar was incredibly low. (I use line/phone output➡️DI Box➡️mixer in the house)

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there. That could be because of two reasons. 1. The Output Level is set too high. You adjust this with knob 3 under the LCD screen. 2. If you're listening to music, backing tracks, etc. when connected to the PC, then have a look at the USB menu, found when you press the Menu button. There's a parameter for what comes into the GT-1, especially if it's connected to a PC. I think it all comes down to the Output level, which I mentioned. It's probably set too high or too low. Give that a try, and see what happens. P.s. - Maybe you hit a switch on your DI?? That's also possible.

How to have great sound with my fender hot rod best out put and set it because it sound like crapppe i dont know how plz help me

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there, The very first thing to think about would be the use of your Fender amp, with the GT-1. If you mainly want to use your Fender Hot Rod for amp tones, both clean, overdriven, etc. then you should turn off the GT-1's PREAMP block, and save the adjustment. This has to be done for every patch you want to use. Also, it's important that you set the GT-1's Output Select to "Combo Amp". With this setup you're using the GT-1 for its effects only. However, you can use the GT-1's preamps, if you wish to, for example by connecting the Left mono out from your GT-1 to your Hot Rod's PWR In socket. This way you'll bypass your Fender's preamp section, only leaving the speaker to output the sound. Make sure to set the Output Select to "Combo Amp Return" in this case, and activate the PREAMP block. In some cases, when using an amplifier with the GT-1, like in your case, you can experiment with the PREAMP block, by turning off the SP Type parameter. This way you can use the Preamp models as an "extra" overdrive/distortion effect, but the results may vary. I personally wouldn't use the Preamps like that. Try it out, and please do let me know how it goes. Best regards.

[@pawewasowski1360]

Nex to playing guitar, sometimes i would like to listen to music through gt-1 connected to active monitors. Is it possible when the source is smartphone connected to aux in ? How about music quality ?

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there. That should do just fine, yes, and the quality should be good, no problem. Give it a go, and see what happens. I hope this helps. Best regards.

[@Frecks2022]

Hi GuitarnTabs! Just want to ask what SP Type you can use if you are using the Line output/Mixer? 🙏

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi! Thanks for your comment and question. You can use any of the GT-1's SP Type models. Personally I really like the 1x10" and 1x12" SP Type, but you can play around with the different types, that's what I did to begin with. I hope this helps. Best regards.

[@sticksnstones23]

Sounds like I should use the return of my orange crush 112 combo amp. I wonder what I should use for my Roland JC 40 (2 x 10) Probably combo return ? Maybe use the JC 120 return for this amp as well ? Finally what setting for going to a powered speaker ?

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hey there. Thanks for getting in touch, I appreciate it. Sure, the return of an amp is always a good place for a multi effects unit. Especially if you want to use the multi effects' onboard preamp and cabinet models. If you want to use the GT-1's onboard preamp and cabinet models, then connect it to the L and R return jacks on the JC40. The sweet part on the JC amps is that the return of the Effects Loop is stereo, because of the two speakers. So you can run the GT-1 in Stereo, using the L and R effects loop return jacks. I would recommend that. Set the Output Select to JC120 return, and see what that does. If you're not happy, then try the Combo Amp Return. For headphones, studio monitors, speakers, PA, Mixers, etc. you should set it to Line/Phones. This also enables the onboard preamp and cabinet models on the GT-1. I hope this helps. Let me know. All the best.

[@EmperorKamikaze]

This should work for stereo Orange rockerverb?

[@Basement_Bro]

I have a question…can you assign different outputs to different patches? For example, can I put Patch 01 on Line/Headphones but Patch 02 on Combo Amp?

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there, Sam. Merry Christmas and thanks for your comment and question. No, the Output Select is set once, and if you then need to change it, then you have to do it manually, to match your equipment. It's no big deal, but if you use the GT-1 with different equipment, then I would recommend that you set up separate patches for that, and then simply change the Output Select, each time you switch equipment. I hope this helps. If not, then please let me know. Cheers.

[@t1bor194]

Thanks for the video! I would like the sound of the play-along and metronome tracks that I use on the PC to come out only through the pedalboard's headphones. Currently, the sound from the computer is coming out of the amplifier as well. It's possible? I'm not using any audio software on the computer.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi - hmm, I haven't done something like this. I mainly connect my GT-1 to my PC and have it all set up in my recording software, and that's pretty much it. Sorry I can't be of more help. Cheers.

[@yblanco]

Hi. Very nice informative video. One question: Is there any way to only use the GT-1 time based effects (the ones you will use after any preamp section) BUT using the preamp stage from a real tubes amp? So not using the GT-1 preamp or OD/Distortion effects at all. Something like: guitar goes into front of tube amp, a cable from SEND of Amp goes into the mono input of GT-1 and then a cable from GT-1 mono output goes to RETURN of the tube Amp? OR will this require a more expensive multi effects unit that offers SEND-RETURN? I'm using my GT-1 with studio monitors so can't test this setup. I'd like to buy a tube amp which I know I can use as a speaker using your explanation but would like to know if this option is also possible. Thanks for your answer !

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there - thank you, I really appreciate it! Yes, you simply connect the GT-1 via your amp's effects loop Return and Send, that way the time-based effects will be placed properly, and from there you can easily use your amp's clean and overdriven channels, etc. It wouldn't require anything special, and the multi effect doesn't need its own effects loop, so you're all good. Your connection seems valid, and should work, yes. I would go for it, and see if it's something you like - a good tube amp will work well with the GT-1, for sure. Cheers.

[@noD1va]

Will the Line/phones activate a cab simulator? And lets say output return have it deactivated?

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there. Thanks for your comment and question. In the Boss GT-1 Parameter Guide PDF, on Page 12, regarding the Speaker Type, it says "*1 This is enabled when the OUTPUT SELECT parameter is set to LINE/PHONE" So when setting the Output Select to Line/Phones you enable the Speaker Type (Cabinet options). So in theory, the Speaker Type should not be activated, when Output Select is set to Combo Amp Return, or any of the other return options. However, do check this, because on almost all default presets, the preamp block is activated, so it might be stored in that patch, that the Speaker Type is activated... I hope this helps. Cheers.

[@noD1va]

@@GuitarNTabs Thanks for solid answer! :D If you where to plug the GT-1 into a power amp in. Like in a Katana. Would you have combo return as output or Line/headphones?

If I use Reaper to record and headphones to hear what I'm playing, how do I set the levels so that the signal going into my DAW is strong enough, but at the same time what's going into my headphones is not deafeningly loud. Probably a stupid question, but I'm new to all this. Thanks in advance!

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there, Magnus. Thanks for your comment and question. I greatly appreciate it. Your questions is actually very valid, and important too, so no worries. The signal from the GT-1, into your DAW, is controlled by the "EFX OUT", found in the USB menu. You adjust the EFX OUT to get the desired signal, going into your DAW. You then use the "MIX LEVEL", also in the USB menu, to set the volume of the sound you're listening to. That's really it. I hope this makes sense. Let me know how it goes. All the best.

@@GuitarNTabs thanks for the super fast answer :) I actually did play around with the MIX LEVEL knob before but all it really ever did was make the metronome go louder when i cranked it clockwise and quieter when i did counter clockwise.

So for a BOSS Katana MK II 50 1x12 speaker, I would just use Combo Amp correct? ALSSSSOOOO, what PSU adapter are you using, I am getting the GT 1 but does not come with PSU, so I was wondering which one works for you.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there, Game Masters101. Thanks for your comment and question. Correct, Combo Amp would be the appropriate setting for the Output Select. Remember, when using the GT-1 with the Katana, make sure to turn OFF the GT-1's PREAMP-block. You don't want to have the GT-1's PREAMP block running along with your Katana. I'm using the recommended PSU for the GT-1 - www.boss.info/us/products/psa_series/ You can use other ones, but I would stick to the recommended one - it's good and superb quality.

Hey there, Izzy. Thanks for watching, and thanks for the question. The Line/Phones Output Select should be selected when using the GT-1 with headphones, studio monitors, through the effects loop return of an amplifier or when running direct to the PA/Mixer. You should use the dedicated output for headphones, labelled "PHONES" - that's the appropriate option. I hope this helps. Enjoy and cheers.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hey there, Todd. Thanks for your question and comment - I appreciate it! How exactly does your Katana 100 clip? Could you please explain this a little further? Are the Katana mic'd up, or? Also, a powered amp, you say - a specific one? A little tip... I assume that the "Metal Money" patch, is a Factory Preset patch, right? It's not a patch you've created yourself? If so, it being a Factory Preset, then I would highly recommend that you take a close look at the gain settings on that patch. Too much gain from the OD/DS section will really mess up the sound. What are your Output Select set to at the moment, using the Katana 100? Furthermore, have you disabled the GT-1's onboard preamp/cabinet models? Cheers.

[@toddmerriott6901]

Metal money is a factory patch. It sounds great because of the low end. I haft a turn down the low and then it won’t make the farting noise, and the low is why it sound so great when chugging. I use small amp combo

[@toddmerriott6901]

[@GuitarNTabs]

@@toddmerriott6901 - Aha, I see, thanks for clearing that up! I wouldn't personally use the Small Amp Output Select.. I would use Combo Amp setting, for the Katana 100. Have you done anything further, to eliminate the clipping? Cheers.

[@toddmerriott6901]

GuitarNTabs it’s a patch with a lot of low end crunch, I haft a turn down the (low) on the fx1 to be able to crank the amp, I have decided I just need a higher wattage amp because the only way to use the patch is to take the low out of it, but that’s what makes it a great sounding patch. Thanks for answering!

[@misterstratocaster]

Going from the guitar to the GT-1 to a Tech 21 Power Engine Since the Tech 21 is a neutral amp, I'm setting the preamp to Line. Seems to work the best for all my different guitars...different settings for each of the different guitars I use, but all are using Line for output to the Tech 21.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi Randall. Exactly, you're correct, the Output Select should be set to Line/Phones, because you have to use the GT-1's preamp models, with the FRFR speaker. You could set up separate patches, for your different guitars, and that would work. Let me know, if you have any other questions. Cheers.

[@ToastOnToast]

@@GuitarNTabs Hi, I needed some calcification on this comment. So you are saying I can connect two trs to xlr cables, one to the left and one to the right output of the GT-1 to two separate line level input channels of a professional mixer like an Allen & Heath Zed 10 and set the GT-1 to Line/Headphone, and use the built in Preamp of the GT-1, AND the GT-1 will output a line level signal? I really just want to know if a DI box is absolutely necessary if I already have a set of TRS to XLR cables.

[@GuitarNTabs]

@@ToastOnToast - Hi there, You can use the TRS to XLR cables, yes, BUT, the GT-1's Left and Right output are unbalanced. A DI box is used when you're running longer cable runs, across the stage and to the mixer. In some cases that can be a messy situation, in others not so much.. I would recommend a DI box, to take care of the unbalanced to balanced convertion. I hope this answers your question. If not, then let me know. Cheers.

[@GuitarNTabs]

@@toddmerriott6901 - Hi there. Well, there are certain things to ensure, once connected through a PA, using the Line/Phones Output Select. Always check that the channel settings on the mixer is somewhat neutral. All channel EQ should be set fairly neutral, and make sure the channel's gain knob isn't set too high, or engaged at all. Also, if connected to the PA in stereo, make sure the two channels on the mixer is set to pan one channel Left and the other Right. Then you need to dial in your tone, using the GT-1's onborad PREAMP-block. Select your desired preamp model and tweak it. A hint, change the Speaker Type, that will open things up a bit. I generally like the 1x12" or 2x12". Keep in mind that uncontrolled gain and volume stages quickly will ruin any good tone/patch, so make sure to keep an eye on the levels - also when adding in new effects.

Thanx, great explanation! Just a question, which seems to keep me bothering... Do you have to set the ‘SP type Off’ in the Preamp settings, when using ‘Stack Return’? I know it says in the manual the speaker type is meant to be bypassed, when other than ‘Line/Headphones’ is selected in the output menu. But it sounds rather different with ‘Stack Return’ setting (and using it the way it’s meant to be used with that setting - into amps’ return)) while toggling the SP Type from ‘Original’ to ‘Off’

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hey there, kuzWich! Thanks for your comment and question. When connecting through an amp's effects loop return you want the GT-1's onboard preamps/cabinets to be turned ON. The idea of connecting through the effects loop return is to bypass your own amplifier, only using its speaker(s) and use the GT-1 for both its effects and preamps/cabinets. So select your preamp model on the GT-1 and turn its SP TYPE ON 😊 I hope this helps. Let me know. Cheers.

[@kuzWich]

GuitarNTabs, thanks! 4 your reply! Well it certainly does sound a notch fuller with SP TYPE ON. But I still find it rather confusing, this implementation... I’d SEEM most logic to switch it OFF, since we already have a real deal of the Cab connected to the Amp. So running ‘two’ cabs (and one’s in front of the real power amp, if you follow me;)) looks strange to me, to say the least... Now I suppose the tech guys at Roland implemented a smart sort of level/eq compensation at the Output setting, since it’s the most handy way to use it Global wise across all of the presets. Just wish the manual could have been more informative.

[@GuitarNTabs]

@@kuzWich - Hey there! You're very welcome, I'm always happy to help out. Correct, you still have the cabinet/speaker(s) running on your own external amplifier, but it shouldn't make that much of a difference... Indeed, the good guys at Roland might very well have sorted all that out, regarding the Output Select and the way it interacts with the connected equipment. I wouldn't worry about it, because it's no big deal, really. The main sound is coming from the GT-1, its effects and preamps/cabinets, and your own amp is only used as a monitor, to output the sound - think like a real stage monitor.

Hello there, Gene. I'm sorry for the late reply, but I've been behind with the comments... Hmm, good question! I would probably start with the Stack Amp setting - and if that doesn't work - then switch to the Small Amp setting. If you want to use the GT-1 for effects only, then simply connect the GT-1's left (mono) out to the Input on the Blackstar head. Now for your question, I had to look in the Owner's Manual for the Blackstar Head, but yes, that's exactly what you should do. The MP3/Line Input will allow you to use the GT-1's onboard preamp/cabinet, and I would recommend that - they sound fantastic! For that connection you might want to try the Line/Phones Output Select setting - to enable the onboard preamp/cabinet on the GT-1. I hope this helps.

Hello there, Paul. Thanks for your comment and questions, as well as your kind words. I greatly appreciate it. It is possible to connect the GT-1 through an amp's effects loop, to use only the Modulation, Delay and Reverb effects from the GT-1, yes. You simply connect the GT-1's input to the amp's Send input, and the GT-1's left output to the amp's Return input. Then you connect your guitar to the front input of your amp. I have a video on how to set the GT-1 up in Stompbox-like Mode - it's on my channel, so you can search for it. Thank you for your kind words, Paul, it makes me really happy. I would love to work with, or for, Boss, that's for sure... I'm still waiting for them to get in touch... I hope this helps. If not, then please let me know, and I'd be happy to assist further. Cheers.

@@GuitarNTabs Hello, sorry for the late reply but thanks so much for doing so. I finally got to try the mod/delay/reverb only setup using the effects loop and it works magnificently as you said after watching your stomp box mode GT-1 video. I had to make sure the Patch and Output Levels were adjusted as well. The feeling felt so great, it was like discovering gold especially since I bought the GT-1 over a year ago used and for less than a $100 USD. I do like the GT-1 and GT-100 as stand alone units as well but I have some really nice Marshall amps that has my tone for what I like to play. Plus I can also use that MST feature to EQ the overall sound which is a plus. I am shopping for a FS-7 right now as you recommended so I can expand my stomp box set and add a couple more FX. Again, thanks so much for your tutorials and videos on both the GT-1/GT-100. It is unbelievable that Boss does not even cover a lot of the material that you provide within their owners manuals or their own demo videos. If only they had someone like you that they should be sponsoring, they would be selling out of their products because you max out their potential. Especially with a flooded market with stomp boxes and multi-FX units everywhere, Boss stands out because they don't make junk. I appreciate you and I am going to write to Boss/Roland customer service to let them know that they should be checking you out! You do excellent work and are hope that only good things come to you in life. Good Luck Amigo and looking forward to all your videos!

Can I connect 2 powered speakers to the gt1?

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hey there! Thanks for the comment and question! Do you have any particular speakers in mind? For example, studio monitors, FRFR-speakers, etc. work well with the GT-1.

[@toddmerriott6901]

GuitarNTabs just ordered a headrush powered speaker, the frfr108

[@GuitarNTabs]

@@toddmerriott6901 - Excellent, that should be a great choice! I've been looking at similar options as well, and I have to own one, at some point! Let me know how it turns out! Best regards.

[@neilh4729]

@@toddmerriott6901 Hi, how did the GT-1 sound through the Headrush 108? I'm thinking of getting one. At the moment I'm using a Boss Katana 50 Mk II and it sounds terrible both through the front end and the power amp in.

[@Corpsegrinder138]

Hello. should I be using the mono output or stereo output on the back of the Gt-1 to a boss katana 100 2x12? I’m using the “power amp in” and not the fx loop which disables the katana preamp. Also how do you enable/disable the preamp on the gt1 so I don’t have both going at the same time. Thank you.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hey there! If I remember correctly, then the "Power Amp In" is for running a multi effect, like the GT-1, through it. Then you should take the left mono out of the GT-1, and run it into the Power Amp In, on the Katana. Then enable the PREAMP-button on the GT-1, by clicking it On/off. When there's a red led, then the PREAMP block is active. Let me know if you need anything else. Cheers.

[@Corpsegrinder138]

Thanks a lot. Can you tell me why use mono and not stereo?

[@GuitarNTabs]

@@Corpsegrinder138 - You are not able to use Stereo, when running through the Katana's Power Amp In, since there's only one Power Amp Input.. If there were two, then you could, but one is only for mono. I hope this helps.

Hi there, I have a Yamaha THR amp. What output amp should I select?

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there. Which model do you have, of the THR amps? Thanks.

[@sohosterable]

@@GuitarNTabs I have the Yamaha THR10

[@GuitarNTabs]

@@sohosterable - As far as I can see, from the Yamaha webpage, the THR10 features in-built preamp models, which wouldn't work well with the GT-1, if you decided to use the GT-1's preamp models as well... Did you plan on that? Or are you looking to only use the GT-1 for its effects?

[@sohosterable]

@@GuitarNTabs I just want to use the GT1 for the effects

[@GuitarNTabs]

@@sohosterable - Excellent, then it's easy! Try the "Small Amp" Output Select. If that doesn't sound right, then move to the Combo Amp. I hope this helps. Cheers.

1 question what's monitors or PA suggest for this unit? If you are using It with headphones do you suggest some Eq Settings?

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hey there. Thanks for your question. I would get some good quality studio monitors - for example, brands like Yamaha and KRK. Headphones could be almost anything, but go for the specific ones, which are made for either mixing or listning to music :-) I hope this helps. Let me know what you think. Cheers. :-)

[@alejandroluisviera1060]

Hey there, thanks for your quick answer!!!. I have another question for you. How do you connect the boss gt 1 to a PA or monitors. Are you using a DI BOX? or Are you connecting the GT 1 from line output to aux in from PA or monitors?

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hey again 😊 You are more than welcome, Alejandro. For use with my studio monitors, I run two jack cables from the left and right output on the GT-1 to the left and right inputs on the monitors. It's as simple as that. For use with the Mixer/PA, I use a stereo DI Box, yes. I use a Radial ProD2 stereo DI Box - works great! Let me know what you think. Best regards Cheers.

[@alejandroluisviera1060]

Awesome!!!!!

[@GuitarNTabs]

[@milestownsend]

what type di box do you use with this?

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hey there, Miles! Thanks for your comment and question. I use a Radial ProD2 Stereo DI box. Radial Engineering is quality and their products are superb, I use my GT-1 in Stereo, taking advantage of the stereo effects - it sounds amazing! Let me know if you have further questions. Best regards.

@@GuitarNTabs I have a built in DI channel for just this..thanks.. but.. do I go out of phone jack.to mixer or the outs to mixer with a stereo cable.. thanks for the help

[@GuitarNTabs]

@@milestownsend - A built-in DI channel - how exactly? :-) It depends.. what are you trying/wanting to achieve? The phones jack will work - but I always go out the Left and Right outputs - using standard jack cables (guitar cables). There's no need for stereo cables, since the outputs on the GT-1 isn't. Let me know. Thanks.

Hi I think your channel is absolutely great stuff! I have a couple of questions for you. Would in your opinion would be the best speaker/amp that I can use with the GT-1? I have a Yamaha THR 30II.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi Angel. Thanks for your comment and question. The Katana amp will go very well together with the GT-1, no doubt. How are you planning to use the GT-1 with your amp? Tell me more about that, and I'd be able to assist further. Cheers.

[@AngelMartinez-qs3cf]

@@GuitarNTabs Thank you for responding. I Would like the presets to go from the GT-1 into the Katana. When I tried to do that, the GT-1 sounds would combine with the sounds of the Katana.

[@GuitarNTabs]

@@AngelMartinez-qs3cf - You're very welcome. Alright, but I meant, do you want to use the Katana as your main amp and the GT-1 for effects only, or what's your take? What Mk Katana do you have? MkI or MkII? Cheers.

@@GuitarNTabs I want the GT-1 AMP and Effects to go through the Katana amp. I want to hear them through the Katana. All the sounds of the GT-1 I want them to go through the Katana.

@@AngelMartinez-qs3cf - Alright. Then again, what Mk are you Katana amp? Is it MkI or MkII? Because, the MkII has the Power Amp In, which is specifically designed for connecting a modeler, like the GT-1, to use its preamp types and effects. Looking forward to your reply.

I have attached my updated version

[@loquayrocks]

this is fiddly and annoying. I use a Fender Super Champ at home (small combo) a JCM 800 / 900 in the studio and a Blackstar Fly 3 stack for recording in my DAW. Are you saying that I need to change the output AND the PreAmp for every situation? I don't have to do this with my pedal board and I bought the GT1 because it contained the Boss pedals I wanted with some extras.

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there. Thanks for your comment and question - this is a great question. If you only use the GT-1 for its effects, and not the onboard preamp and cabinet models, then you should only change the Output Select, when you switch amplifiers. That's not too hard, and switching will enable the GT-1 to perform its best - hence the selection of different output options. However, if you use the GT-1's onboard preamp and cabinet models, then you should connect to the amplifier's effects loop return, in order to bypass the amp's preamp-section (EQ, channels, etc.) You don't want to have both your amplifier and the GT-1's preamp and cabinet models running at the same time... So, to recap, if you just use the GT-1 for its effects, then simply change the Output Select, to match the amp you're using, when you switch equipment, and that's all. For using the GT-1's onboard preamp and cabinet models, then connect to the amplifier's effects loop return and set the output select to Line/Phones. I hope this helps. Let me know what you think. All the best.

[@loquayrocks]

@@GuitarNTabs cheers, that's what I've been doing. It sucks volume out when you do it though. You're correct, I just wanted the effects. I'm disappointed with the Blues driver effect as this has always been my main pedal but I do need the reverb, trem and delay. Thanks for the reply

[@LouisA-q3r]

Line/phones is the only output that has speaker/cabinet simulators

[@joelmenezes728]

I get the exact same sound regardless of which output I select.

[@GuitarNTabs]

The difference might be hard to hear, especially if you simply switch between the Output Select options, with the same patch, etc. If your setup is the same, then you won't hear any difference. The Output Select will have an impact on the way the effects and preamps/speakers act in general, so it's always a good idea to match the Output Select to your setup. I hope this helps. Cheers.

[@Dannyboy0202]

I thought a combo amp just meant that it was an amp with effects built in

[@GuitarNTabs]

Hi there, Daniel. Thanks for your comment - I appreciate it. No, not quite. The Output Select lets the GT-1 know what it's being plugged in to. For example, the front end of a combo amp, the effects loop return of a stack amp or direct to PC via USB. I hope this helps. If you have further questions, please let me know. Best regards.

[@LouisA-q3r]

The name "combo" is just short for combination, meaning it's a combination of an amp and cabinet. If it's not a combo then it's a separate head and cabinet

[@LouisA-q3r]

Kind of confusing because a jc 120 IS a combo amp 🤔
