NEW Boss GX-100 Amp & Effects Processor - Full Overview & Tone Demo!

[@andertons]

CORRECTION - Boss have asked us to clear up something we siad in the video regarding the difference between the GX100 & GT1000 processors - Actually both have a 32 bit Floating point processor, but GX-100 has a 24-bit AD/DA and 48khz sampling, while GT-1000 32 bit / 96khz AD/DA.

Digital John segments are one of the best bits of this channel!

[@duncanflight3809]

Still think Andertons are missing the point on this kind of gear, no one is choosing between a multi fx or a tube amp in a straight shoot out… you get this kind of gear for pub gigs or because you can’t afford/house big amps and pedals. Would much rather see them approach the unit like it’s own thing and how set up for home use, how easy would it be to gig, through a power cab, how to record with it etc… instead of incessantly comparing between direct out and a twin! Your comparing apples with oranges, I had hoped with Digital John (yes love the name) that it would be a more realistic practical approach…. Still love the channel and the shop just hope the approach to digital gear changes. Xxx

[@michaeldean7220]

Very much this. Love the channel but Lee struggles to hide his disdain.

[@miker846]

Totally agree with you. They should add those in their presentation, especially for multifx units, IMO, multifx have come a long way and one of the best options as a backup or as a main rig.

[@dewdude2112]

I like them for the flexibility, especially live. Going from a slightly fuzz to full on stereo chorus, stereo delay shred with wah engaged with the press of a button...is hard to do on a standard stomp box board....unless you have a big pro setting with patch bays.

[@jreagle58]

Oh how you are wrong. While yes nobody is choosing a 500 buck multi-effects unit over tube amps, more and more artists are touring with high end multi-effects units over tube amps. Tube amps are undependable on big tours. U2 and Metallica just to name two have gone the digital route. Your comment did not age well.

[@duncanflight835]

⁠​⁠@@jreagle58Thanks for the comments even if they are a little salty 😅 But I don’t think you may have misunderstood what we are saying. I don’t have any bias towards tube amps, in fact I’ve never even owned one… hence why I get frustrated when these channels constantly compare them to a fender twin, marshal JCM etc which means nothing to me… I have however owned loads of digi gear, I even owned one of these units… I just want to know, how does it feel, how hard is it to edit and how to get it to sound best. For example I’d like to see them add third party IRs to see if it sounds better, or better yet run it into the power in of a Boss Katana for live use. The price point of this unit will probably be aimed at covers bands, wedding bands and working musicians who don’t always have big PA’s and sound desks to plug into so some real world uses would be cool. The bit about Metallica and U2 is redundant, they’re using top line systems with teams of techs… if one switches to a GX 100 I’ll take it back 😂 I’m fully on board with this type of gear, hence why I’d like to see the guys review it with the enthusiasm they have for £3k tube amps, and if they’re not that enthusiastic then use guys like John and Ben that are. Given that both mine and the other comments on this thread seem to be pretty much in favour of modelling and digi gear …I’d say I’m not sure it’s my comments that have diminished with time dear sir. Have a lovely day and keep on playing x

[@deanandthebeans857]

This thing is a sleeper - everyone was a bit underwhelmed with the GT1000 and consequently haven’t given the GX100 a chance. It’s actually a monster - the sounds are the best I’ve heard from all of the modellers out there.

Excellent critique on the outdated touch screen! The only video on KZbin that seems to give an honest review.

[@moroboshidan7960]

17:45 sorry, they're not super close. I'm watching on a smart tv, so not super hifi, but yet I feel the difference. There's something missing in the GX sound when compared to the amp. IDK how to explain, maybe dynamics, maybe presence. I guess it's related to mids or high mids. The amp sounds more open, probably it's just EQ and possible to tweak.

[@padawan9127]

Have to say, Lee is excellent here, critiquing the unit (on the touchscreen etc.) and asking all the right questions such as cabs matching preamps ("original" setting).

[@Pulse2AM]

The way the C-1 works on the GT-1 I have is say you have a clean amp sound and for a solo you want a overdrive/distortion, delay, chorus those can all be on the C-1 switch but it's the same amp model. Instead of hitting the patch change foot switches.

[@mazanin]

This was an awesome walkthrough. Thank you! I loved the SxS comparisons the most

[@dawoud8013]

@17:18 the "color" of the sound is the same ! Great ! But the sound of the GX-100 seems a bit dead.... compression ?

[@JayTheLane]

The ui is great and it sounds stellar. Bought this and more than happy with it.

[@martinturner1796]

Very much a Father & Son feel when Lee & John demo together

[@xTheZapper]

I've been a software engineer for nearly 20 years and never heard of a 24bit processor, you might be thinking of 24 bit AD conversion or signal processing. The processor will probably be 32 or 64 bit. [edit] Yeah, the Boss website says 32bit processor, 24bit AD/DA.

[@truetom]

There are a lot of 24 bit processors e.g. the Motorola DSP56000 family.

[@xTheZapper]

@@truetom Well, you learn a new thing every day. I guess working on desktop and not really having done much embedded I've never come across them. Even when playing with Arduino and PIC's I've only ever seen 8/16/32bit. However, this unit does have a 32bit CPU and 24bit processing, so I was at least partially correct!

[@johnconnearnmusic]

Yet another solid bit of kit from BOSS 💪🏻

[@cantstopplayingmusic]

The GX100 interface is easy to use, and program compared to my Headrush MX5(no longer own). I haven't used the current models of Headrush, are they easier to use?

[@OtherTheDave]

3:04 There isn’t really a “layman’s terms” meaning there because 24 bit vs 32 bit has to do with technical details that “laymen” aren’t expected to know or understand. It certainly doesn’t mean that one’s faster or more powerful than the other. I suspect this one’s using 24 bit integer values to process audio (“CD Quality” is 16 bit) and the other one’s using 32 bit floating point values.

[@leostadt3164]

Another correction (or maybe this is just out of date) There are 150+ effects in this unit. And they dont do synth or slicer pedals, they have harmonics and octave.

[@davedavem]

Totally agree with Lee on BOSS's user interfaces. They need to poach a UI designer from the smartphone world. You can't argue with the unit as a whole, though. Sounds awesome!

[@undercrackers56]

Completely agree. As a software engineer I have been designing and implementing UI (User Interfaces) for decades and in my opinion Sony is the worst with Boss second. The Boss Micro BR 80 is a spectacular example of "how not to".

[@Nate_has_Dogs]

So Line 6 put out a katana recently and now Boss has put out a pod go....interesting! Seriously though, competition is good, keeps everyone in line so i love it. Great job as always.

[@Stefan-]

This is way more advanced than the POD Go much due to the POD Go´s limitations when it comes to the effect chain and just 4 freely choosable effect blocks, the Stomp XL is closer in comparison for functionality, but it still lacks touch screen, expression pedal, possibility for adding bluetooth with phone app, has less blocks etc. Even with the bluetooth dongle the GX-100 is still cheaper than a Stomp XL also. The POD Go is a great option though, just wish it had more freedom in how to use its power. I agree that competition is good, it gets us better devices at better pricepoints.

[@stevem4838]

The touchscreen and the graphics used for the pedal representations are indeed simplistic. However, they are functional and user-friendly. And I suppose they’re leaving more processor power to run the signal chain. This is still a win for me.

[@msgn8i11s2]

Agree with the critics about the GUI on the screen. Still, I have been waiting a few years for a multieffect with basicly more or less just a huge touch screen and a few foot switches...

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

It’s the 14th of February in 2024 as I watch this review. After having spent 2 or 4 months meditating on getting the GT-1000 Core, I must admit the GX-100 might be more appealing. In terms of give-and-take, I would not miss the additional input or effects send on the Core, compared with the extra switch/pedal options and that touch screen for programming patches without needing the software. (Your description of the onscreen multicolored graphics resembling 80s computer games is definitely not a detractor.) It might be less portable than the Core, but it’s still more compacted than my modeler dating from 2018, the Boss ME-80.

A small screen is inconsequential as you can set it up with a tablet and you wont be using it during a performance. I'm not sure the 24bit vs 32 bit affects the sound or not, but it sure does sound good from all the samples I have heard on the net. Perhaps KZbin compression hides that, I dont know. If this thing sounds good live then it really looks like a winner to me! It is the perfect size to gig with. It has everything needed to gig with. It's laid out with functionality in mind. I think it could easily replace a big pedalboard! I can't wait to get one!

[@BlownPSP]

At 24:17 the question is very pertinent but not totally answered. Wishing someone could complete the answer here. Question: So to switch as fast as possible between two différent amps, let's say from a very clean sound with flanger and reverb TO a Dual Rectifier Hi disto type of sound with little delay, no reverb, no flanger. Is this unit able? I have a Headrush, and the delay between 2 rigs is problematic for my music. I have a Mesa Road King II head and only use Channel 2 Fat voicing with very little gain (very clean) and Channel 4 (Modern full disto). Unfortunately, this mutli tubes head is too powerful for band practice using in ear sound for instance. Bottom line, I need two (2) very distinct sounds, with as fast as a real amps Channel switching. Is the GX-100 allowing instant switch between 2 different rigs ? Thank you in advance. Kind Regards

[@RMS12.2]

Yea you can switch instantly, I have this unit. Going from clean amp to high gain amp.

Good demo. Very happy with my GT-1000 and my SY-1000; which retired my GT-100 and GT-1 + SY-300 respectively. Years ago as I was trying all kinds of modelers including Line 6 Helix LT and Axe-Fx Ultra, and several others over several years, I found the Boss kit worked best for me. Still have a Zoom G1Xon and B1on, but I'm good with Boss. Whatever modeler you choose, it's worth spending the time to learn it, understand it, to get the most you can from it. Cheers!

Specs say: 32-bit floating point - its probably a 32-bit processor; maybe the non-DSP related stuff is even 64-bits. 24-bits is the AD/DA conversion - which is absolute standard nowadays. The difference between 24-bit and 32-bit AD/DA conversion is most certainly not audible. ;)

This looks very interesting to me. I've been a Boss junkie for a loooooong time. I still use a GT-6 an immense amount of time in the studio because it's effects are so damned good, and the Katana gets used at gigs for the same reason. Sim wise I've heard some other units that are stunning, but the effects quality and types have kept me coming back to Boss again and again. I also find that Boss's wah quality is just unmatched, so I hope that carries over too.

Bro we didn’t have tiny touchscreens in the 80’s, we were still rocking bulky monochromatic monitors! Touch screens kicked off mid 2000’s. My apologies for the history lesson. But what worries me is I have a boss pocket-gt and that is mostly app based to change settings and the app UI is rubbish, its like the app was designed in landscape or on a PC monitor but it only works on portrait mode on a phone or tablet so its is cumbersome scrolling across to see the whole signal chain.

I played the club scene with a ME-5 and a JC120 in the late 80''s. It was a great setup.

JC 120 is still a great amp

what should I think ?NUX MG-30 has more DSP 32 and this one 24 and NUX costs something about 200 pouds ..... I got mash up in my head . Collecting money for Boss (I have already Katana mk2) or go for a NUX? Las NUX has a very good opinions ...... for this money ....

[@PikaStu666]

Big fan of the Katana mk2 head here... this looks really good. I wonder how the two would compare?

You touched on the switching of patches but then unfortunately missed to demonstrate how how fast and smooth (or not) it was. Otherwise good video.
