BOSS GT1000 CORE - Metal

[@OlaEnglund]

Long time no trying out the Boss GT1000 Core. Pretty good alternative if you want to go small(?)

Hey ola have you played with the boss Sy-1000? Is it a Synthesizer and effects? Say similar to line 6 hx effects?

[@jhellert1]

The Boss GT units excel at 4 cable method and speed of patch switching. Fractal Audio still has no peer in terms of amp modeling, but for ease of use in 4CM no one beats "the Boss".

[@rustyskies9718]

How does the amp modeling compare to the Fm3 or AX8. I’m thinking of getting this unit but I don’t want computery gain tone. High gain

[@jhellert1]

@@rustyskies9718 The amp modeling in a BOSS GT unit is primitive sounding compared to Fractal.

[@jourdinthedragon]

​@@rustyskies9718 it's not as good, but it's a pretty negligible difference. On the other hand I get fomo and ToneX is as good. I recently got the gt1000 and it only has 1ms latency so I've got ToneX in the fx loop and take the amps on the unit out of the equation

[@adamglegg7202]

Love the Bogner Cabnet on GT fx, I agree with Tscream sounds it amazing - Recto and Marshall Tube sound really nice also. I've never had to connect to a pc because after a while you become so fast with the knobs and buttons you don't even have to look, though saying that im very intrigued by the sharing concept and testing chains others have made. Just everything is awesome about GT Fx, it virtually has everything - haha yeah but presets aren't that hot tbh.

[@highrateextinction]

I love my GT1000 Core, I use it in 4CM with an EVH 5150 50w - the reverbs and delays are great. I still prefer my Angry Swede over the HM-2 patch on the GT1000 though but it's still cool that they included one.

[@AlistairMaxwell77]

i have the core and helix rack as my main modellers . there surprisingly different . the core needs time to get familiar with , tweak to your taste . they are very deep and the parameters and sounds interact and layer in different ways . the helix is more out of the box ready to rock , but sometimes i find its sounds are little more flat and 1 dimensional . the 1000 has a smother bigger sweet spot but you have to work harder to get there .

[@ShaighJosephson]

Yeah, it's the biggest bang for the buck of all guitar pedals, IMO... The kicker for me was how good it handled my acoustic guitars... For some reason, Boss's distortion, overdrives, and fuzz play extremely well with my acoustics through this pedal... If I could only have one pedal, it would have to be this one...

[@raichoo]

Friggin' love that pedal. Fits in my gig bag, now I can practice everywhere. Personally I liked the modelling capabilities better than those of the HX Stomp, but I guess that's subjective given how good modellers have become in general.

Try plugging it into a power amp and real cab, even though it uses the same pre amp modeling the AIRD gives it a much tighter feel than a normal amp but a real cab gives it the “air” and push a real amp has

Hey Ola, love your videos , please try and make a video with boss gx 100

[@apoplexiamusic]

the GT1000 core has AMAZING effects. The presets for modern metals are definitely lacking and so are the cab sim options. I think the amp models Boss created for the unit, like the Juggernaut and the X High-gain Modded sound incredible, especially for tuning low. One of the things that disappointed me a bit with it is that one can't change more than one parameter with the CTL 1, but at least the preset management is pretty good. One thing i've been thinking of trying out is using both the HX Stomp and GT1000 core together, like putting the Stomp in the FX loop of the Core to use it's drive, amp and cab sims and using the Core for it's amazing FX. Does anyone have thoughts on how that would work?

[@ChristofferWig]

you can use the assign menu to change up to 16 parameters at once

[@apoplexiamusic]

@@ChristofferWig holy moly! I’ll look into that, thanks! 🙏

Hey ola! I got an idea....try using the boss Blues driver through a blackstar silverline or id series amp (as I've seen you've done reviews on them before) using the blues driver as the distortion and using the amp itself as the driver of the bd2. I think it may chug.

[@midtown3221]

Ahh I get it. It's meant to be the core of your FX Loop. Jack in guitar, send to amp, amp sends back to GT1000, send out again to...cabinet? Or going straight to audio interface to DAW the GT1000 Core would be an excellent, compact unit to have on the desk which is how I would use it.

Hey Ola Could u make a video on the zoom g5n multi effects processor Love ur channel man🤘🏽

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Knowing that it was possible for you to dial up one of your custom patches for Core, Ola, can you tell me if this thing includes a band pass filter in the EQ section? My goal that I have achieved to some extent using other effects units and stomp boxes has always been approximating the Boston electric guitar sound from the late 70s. What would be neat is if what I have gotten from my present distortion generator (the Goat Generator from Rancher) could be duplicated in the mainframe of this thing, a classic Plexi tone with huge midrange boost.

[@dimitriid]

Hey Ola! Unrelated but maybe for your next FAQ: Since you're a mac guy I was wondering if you want to or plan to upgrade any of your macs to those with the new M1 chips? Even most PC nerds acknowledge they're some serious advantages to those vs the intel based macs you own but also, kind of an expensive upgrade maybe?

[@brythecracker]

Like Ola said, “if you don’t have any other pedals and you want to keep things simple”, this pedal makes sense. However, multi-effect programmable pedals have (3) major drawbacks. First, because of the endless configuration options, you may suffer “paralysis from analysis”. Second, you can’t place a name with a face like you can with a 1 trick pony pedal. Third, “Chasing Tone” is a disease for which there is no cure, only treatments. People with this disease are often referred to as pedal-holics. To date, there are only (2) forms of treatment; The first and most expensive, is a new guitar or amp, which can be extremely effective and long lasting. The second and most popular treatment, is the Pedal. Pedals are usually a more affordable treatment, but the effects are not normally as long lasting. It’s a sad disease, if you suspect you or a loved one may be suffering from this disease, talk to your Sweetwater representative to explore treatment options😉

[@70mcnevin]

Buy a Fractal Audio Axe FX III and be done with all need for pedals ever. That's what I told myself 4 years ago when I sold off my two pedalboards and went AXE III --> RME UFX+ --> FRFR. Now, it truly is an unreal piece of gear. Everything you could ever want and more. Mind-boggling options galore. But here I am....back to building another pedalboard. Only God knows why.

It's going to be a hard sell when compared to the competition, Boss has some work to do when it comes to amp sims (well for metalheads anyways) I would go line6 pod go or hx stomp at that price point

[@lockedowng]

It's weird to see boss kinda doing copycat products all the time (500 series/strymon). This is obviously going after the stomp and I don't think it's better in any way.

[@CarlosFerreiraOfficial]

@@lockedowng I only see this unit as better than the stomp if the goal is to use it with external pedals in the effects loop. For amp modelling it sounds like line 6 still wins.

[@gainonten4031]

[@70mcnevin]

It's not like Boss developers don't know how to write algo that interpret IR's properly. The Roland Corp. is pretty exceptional in that regard (see TD-50x Processor) and Boss has significant resources to make it happen. I'm willing to bet that if a reputable KZbinr were playing through the GT1000 Core on several amp/cab patches, but said it was the Fractal FM3, nobody would pick up on it in a fake demo.
