The BOSS GX10 - Can Boss Change The Game With This Powerful but SMALL Unit?

[@martijn260571]

I actually bought this unit and played it for several hours now and I’m really pleased with it. Concerning the lack of lot’s of modeling of real live amps, that is not a negative thing for me. I just want a good sound and if thats accurate to the real thing is not something I look for. I actually only use the Boss amp models as they are the most useful for me. When setting it up for live use our sound guy reacted very positive on the natural amp model for instance. He said “if you give me that as a signal, I’m very happy”. So i used that and as a “dirty channel” I used the x-crunch model with a OD in front of it. Very happy with the results I got and the small form factor is just perfect for me. The less I have to carry around the better. Very pleased with this purchase

[@steved1099]

And if you REALLY need extra amps and a really portable option. Put a tonex one in the loop. That's what I did. Sounds immense.

[@Yelbomsirhc1]

I agree 100% The Boss amps sound really good. In general, most modeled amps just sound sort of like what they're supposedly emulating. In my opinion it's mostly marketing. All you really need are really good clean, edge of break up, rock crunch, and lead tones, and you're good to go, IMO. If you're a metalhead then you need a couple of super high gain tones, too.

[@JamesFlorio-ti8gc]

I actually love this unit after some time.....global EQ is your best friend with boss units. High cut 6.3 low cut at 100 and should be golden. Most high gain amps are fine at 6.3 only a few I dial my back to 5 k....they become much more realistic and feel genuine under the fingers much more than all the competition 👍🏻💯

[@Yelbomsirhc1]

I have the GX-100. I set it up with three main patches-- clean, slightly dirty, and crunch. Each main patch has several levels of gain using O/D pedals or toggling the amount of amp gain, as well as a selection of effects. I pick one of the three main patches for a song, and operate it in stompbox mode (aka manual mode) so I can turn on and off effects such as tremolo, phase, chorus, delay, or O/D by using the switches on the GX-100 as well as an additional two-button footswitch in Ctrl 3/4 during the song. I'm glad I have all the switches so wouldn't want to settle for less switches in the GX-10. I just really like running in manual mode: that's more intuitive to me. More like a regular pedalboard. If I had to use the GX-10 I guess I would just make more a bunch of presets based on a foundational preset, but where each preset had different effects turned on or off, and then I would toggle between presets more than I do now. As it is now I always stick to a single preset for an entire song. The ability to assign multiple actions to a single switch could also be useful. For example, turn on or off delay, chorus, and a second reverb with the press of a single switch.That's a powerful feature of the GX-100 and GX-10 that can reduce pedal dancing quite a bit.

[@themomentkiller9167]

I’ve had 5 or so hours with mine, got it two days ago. So far blown away by the quality of sounds. Not really fussed that it doesn’t have 4 million amp sims as the ones they have are really good. The other noticeable difference between the 1000 core is the preset’s. They are incredibly useable (curated by half of the usual KZbin channel guys) and not covered with a million effects. Just good basic honest workhorse type of tones. Agree the touchscreen is so so but I’m using Bluetooth MIDI to my iPad and it’s perfect!

[@NicB115]

@@themomentkiller9167 yea I was blown away to. I hadn’t played much guitar in about 5 years (difficult life shit) so I wanted to get some new gear. I got the GX-10 and a EVH Wolfgang special (love the design, not a big VH fan). I couldn’t put the guitar down. I totally neglected my family, and played till 11:30 at night. I was completely blown away. I can’t believe how far tone recreation has come. As far as KZbin reviews, I thought the same thing. I was completely happy with the presets.

[@JCleggy]

John, you’ve used more modelers than anyone in this galaxy. Can you hear a difference from modeler to modeler, can you identify them by sound alone, and do you have a preference for one unit based solely on sound (not considering UI or library of amps/effects)?

[@dscataglini]

The lack of midi is kinda of a deal breaker for me. That's how I have been getting more out of my hx stomp and ampero. Even though a midi foot controller is not the same as having built in buttons

[@dbeff]

Apparently you can have midi via bluetooth with an extra adapter.

[@NicB115]

USB C is midi. But I have read that it’s limited. Also it suck that you then can’t connect to Boss Tone Studio with computer. If it had the midi connection wouldn’t it kill the market for GX 100?

[@OtherTheDave]

Oh? That does indeed suck.

[@thelolguy007]

I’ve been gigging the GT1 for a while now and I just ordered this. As I Sing and play guitar at the same time (solo) and carry a lot of gear - im more drawn to the smaller units. And the fact this has all the effects and amp models I might need (and a lot more) with the touch screen and expression pedal is Win Win for me. I can’t be doing with tap dancing as I’m trying to sing at the same time. It’s all about nice and simple but quality. And this looks like a great upgrade for me. Can’t wait for it to arrive. I’ll probably set it up like I do the Gt1. First preset clean with the option of chorus, second present dirty with the solo/boost option etc. I don’t need a lot. Excited to see/hear what the acoustic simulator is like tbh. Sounds good on the gx100. From what I’ve seen/heard of the Gx100 and the few videos out already on the gx10 it seems with a little tweaking the sounds are very useable and impressive. And with that price it’s very attractive

[@MaPa60]

This is for me, I love that Boss kept an expression/ volume pedal on it. I like the trend towards smaller units, the key is to put enough in it to be able to use it stand alone, while still being small enough to integrate on a bigger board with other pedals if needed. This seem to hit the sweet spot for flexibility, imo. Perfect one stop backup unit, and board for the odd mini gig. I had a Boss IR-200 and regret I flipped it. Would you say the amp simulation in the GX-10 is on par with that?

[@kellygreenii]

Part of it is physics. Standard size floor units are heavy enough that they can withstand someone leaning on a foot pedal without the thing tipping over. But the smaller the unit becomes, the higher the possibility that the unit goes flying or flips over…and gets damaged.

[@QuoVadis88]

I ordered one immediately. This is for me. Don't care about MIDI. Volume heeled turns on tuner. Very handy. The new patches are so good they cut back effects on those patches so you could hear the superior tonal capability. EVH said, "If it sounds good, it is good." So whether the patches model real world amps is irrelevant. The GX-10 does what I want it to do, right out of the box. I would use the Boss SDE-3 in the Effects Loop. Still have external CTRL 2, 3 and EXP 2. Bluetooth. If you want MIDI then get the GX-100. I wanted something that uses less stage real estate but still high quality. I could use one GX-10 in the Effects Loop of my guitar amplifier and another GX-10 in the Front End of the guitar amp. The GX-10 in the guitar amp effects loop would be mainly delay effects. The GX-10 in the front end of the guitar amp would be mainly overdrive effects. I have been using a Boss CP-1X Compressor in the front end of my guitar amp. The X-Compressor in the GX-10 seems to do what the CP-1X can do. So another reason to have a second GX-10. When you set the Speaker Type Value to Original, you get the built-in speaker of the amp you selected with AIRD PREAMP, saves time and needless dialing. Of course, you can select speakers and mics yourself if you choose to from the list. Speaker Type Value parameter USER1-16 lets you create an original SP TYPE by using a dedicated tool to load IR (Impulse Response) data into this unit. Download the dedicated tool from the BOSS website. Setting Speaker Type Value to OFF, turns off the Speaker Simulator. Setting the MIC Type Value to FLAT, simulates a mic with perfectly flat response. Produces a sonic image close to that of listening to the sound directly from the speakers (on site). This unit will sell in big numbers.

[@IsaacLausell]

Most folks seem to want models of lots of amps. That being said the X amps are something quite underrated. They are an approach designed for the digital domain. They are very touch responsive and even do some compensations to allow intervals to ring through clearly even with higher gain amps. Their Aquiles heel would be the output section and the noisy loops. For instance when you do 4 cable method you never get a clean signal from the preamp without an undesirable amount of dry signal coming through, enough to alter the base tone. Even worst is the output filters section. It does not sound good and when you go into a cab or amp and disengage the internal cabs it also sounds odd. If you are planning to use this to send a signal FOF and one to your amp get a good power conditioner or hum x and plug everything in the same outlet because it is just a mess of ground noise. This is a shame because when you are using the device into a p.a. Or into a DAW it is a beast. While there several fixed blocks there are 3 blocks that can be just about anything. It does not matter how complex the signal path is it won’t choke. I have done patches with a gain amp and a clean amp and separate effect chains and all effect blocks on and it does not even flinch. If I switch to another patch it is smooth and immediate, no gaps. Most Boss stuff tends to be big on the bottom and sizzle on the top. A high cut between 4k to 5k and a low cut between 80hz to 100hz seems to do the trick. As for the Core once you integrate an external footswitch you have enough switches to do what you need.

[@ideiaslivres8969]

Man, they are horrible! I had a GX100. It doesn't distort the bass like a real amp. It doesn't compress the sound like a real amp. The highs get a lot of distortion and volume, while the bass sounds like a clean amp. Muffled playing techniques sound horrible on it. It has some problem or deficiency in running IR, because the same IR on an external IRloader sounds much better than inside it.

[@steved1099]

The good news for us GX100 owners... the GX10 means a longer life span and possibly more updates to the platform both GX10 and GX100 use.

[@Jay-og7ld]

The Core 1000 is full 32bit AD-DA. The Gx-10 24bit AD - 32bit DA 32 bit floating. In my book I think the GX-10 is very powerful and probably has more processor chip than you need. I think I am going buy one. At $399 and it has Core Tech in it, it's almost too good to be true. I missed this video and an hour ago I posted on your GX-100 video about finding the GX-10. What a trip.

[@absolutevalue23]

i thought it was illuminating, when you said "trust" regarding these amp models, about the nature of amp modeling. you werent talking about trust, as in customer service or the unit holding up. youre talking about something that people can see and hear and test out, so there should be no need for trust in this mix at all, but youre right in that it is how people decide which of these units is popular. to me it highlights this area of ambiguity around modeling, the confusion in hearing the thing sound the same but never having it feel the same. you know, its like eating a fantastic slice of pizza (a food we have here in the u.s.) and saying you dont trust that its good because the restaurant seemed more like a restaurant that wouldnt have good pizza. to be very clear, this is not a criticism of your word choice. actually was going to comment that i am loving starting sentences with "Crucially,.." gunna borrow that. thanks as always

[@jimmcdougall9973]

To me separate pedals into an amp are still the best Boss option. Their modellers are still lagging behind the competition, whereas, twenty or so years ago, they were leaders in multi-effect units.

I have a GT-1 as a backup for the GX-100, so I don't really need this. Probably gonna get one anyway. :D

[@michaelschneider7590]

Curious how you would rank the various modelers in terms of some benchmark sounds (like Bluesbreakerx ODR-1, and Tube Screamer simulations for overdrive, and the quality of the amp emulation)? Not just the UI and number of features, although those matter too.

[@alexypotapov9673]

Is it possible to add more than one Reverb in the same chain?

[@ogmakefirefiregood]

Yes.

[@Stefan-]

If it is like the GX-100 (and it seems to be) you can add up to 9 of the same effect within the DSP power, with reverbs you are not likely to get that much since they are some of the more DSP heavy effects.

[@macleod41069]

What would be a better option for distortion, this or something like a JHS Lari Basilio/ Reva g4?

[@cc_1983]

Not everyone needs 200 amps and mic positions - also worth noting. Also likely to not need 11 pedals on at once or in a chain. So compared to the competition that’s also a factor

[@johnnathancordy]

Of course, it's just good to note that compared to the competition it is pretty powerful?

[@cc_1983]

i love my helix LT - just the size is crap for little gigs/jams. I would love a mini HX however a quad core :)

[@michael1]

Touch screen and expression pedal built in feels a bit like it's made for Mr Tickle. Does it want to live on the floor or on the desk? To be fair I think many would be happy with that format. It seems like its mirroring the old multi-effect designs with all the effects + an expression pedal built in, and these tended to be used with an amp rather than headphones so putting it on the floor in front of the amp was how everyone used pedal board + amp. For me I plug headphones into a pod xt and it sits on the desk. If I replaced it, I'd want something that sat on the desk. If I had to put my headphones into something that had an expression pedal and foot switches - which seems like it wants to live on the floor - it'd be a bit of a stretch for the headphone cable. I get that they have an app but I'd want to be touching the touch screen and playing around and that would mean bending down. I guess it depends how many people who buy these boxes listen through headphones and put them on their desk, vs how many use some kind of speakers and see them more like pedals. But, I'd certainly think that they should have removed the expression pedal, which would have made the footprint smaller, and just had an expression pedal you can plug into it which goes on the floor for people who would have it sitting on their desk most of its life. Plus, if you own more than one of these boxes and either swap them in and out of a pedal board, or use both together presumably you'd soon wish they didn't all have an expression pedal on them?

[@jimmywilliams3972]

John, you are not quite right with your thoughts on the flexibility of the GT 1000 core signal chain. It is just as flexible, it’s just that all the blocks are loaded all at once. You can move any block wherever you want. The chain has more divider blocks for more complex signal chains. The GX units as far as I can see only has one divider block.

[@ll14m4n]

After all the advertising for the GX10 on KZbin, I ended up buying the GX-100 for 500 euros instead. The difference is small, especially if you consider buying additional external switches for the GX-10. I previously had a Pod Go, and so far, I like the GX-100 more due to the dual amp capability and more user-friendly UI. However, there's a major downside: it doesn't have a separate speaker sim block; it can only be used with the amp model. This means I can play through my lunchbox tube amp with GX-100 using the 4-cable method through a cabinet, but I can't record it with the speaker sim. This is an unpleasant surprise, and now I'm considering whether to keep it or not.

[@ll14m4n]

However, I'm leaning towards keeping it. Objectively, at a price of 500, there are no alternatives; the weaker Pod Go is more expensive. A used Helix LT would be twice the price. Subjectively, I like how it sounds and feels on fingers (possibly due to the very low latency of Boss). All models with the prefix "X-" are good. The X-Hi-Gain has quite similar character comparing to the preamp of my 6505MH head, so I think I can dial in the tone I used to on the device itself.

[@Yelbomsirhc1]

I don't think that's correct. I have a GX-100 and I can turn on and off the cabinet sim in a patch. You pick an amp, and then you go into the amp's sub-menus. You get to a menu where you can specify the cabinet, including specifying no cabinet at all. So for ampless gigs where I go straight into the P.A. I have my 3 main patches that have the speaker cab sim turned ON. But I alo copied those three main patches to 3 other user blocks, and edited them so they are exactly the same, but with the cab sims turned off. I kept the same patch names but added "NoSpkr" at the end of the name so I know it's the version with cab sim off. I use those patches when I go into a guitar amp. I go into the effects return if the amp has one, or I go into the front of the amp if it doesn't, but set up the amp so it is as neutral as it can be. Sounds great in all three use cases, but only after having spent a fair amount of time building patches to sound like I want them to.

[@ll14m4n]

@@Yelbomsirhc1 yes, I can use amp with no cab. But I need a standalone block for cab sim with no amp model so I can use my real tube amp's preamp + cab sim on processor. This is not possible with this unit.

[@ll14m4n]

May not have the physical TRS MIDI ports like most BOSS DEVICES, but you’ve got Bluetooth MIDI instead and presumably midi via USB ? I dunno about that but it’d be an idea to check if this would work with a CME WIDI uhost as well ? It’d be fairly straightforward if all goes well to pair up this far smaller unit as a desktop modeler where you can really take advantage of the touch screen and then like so many others have done with the 3 switch HX stuff build your own super wireless midi controller boards with actual decent gear like the pirate midi bridges. The full GX100 I think is fine but you’ll be stuck dealing with its switches. Mapping your own existing gear like I have would actually make a huge impact on workflow. You may want to try this idea out with your helix Floor at home as a super midi controller with all the scribble strips and route some audio via the GX10 & your stomp. You use both frequently up on your vertical stands, combining a helix floor to run it all would make a lot of sense. The BOSS gear has by far the lowest latency, gapless switching, a good few tricks to match presets to guitars in the input. I’d say carry on and give it a really good burn in. I wish I’d heard something from my guys at BOSS regards this as well. I see a lot of potential in the GX10

This one is way cheaper than gt-1000 Core, but it’s mono in stereo out, unlike the core and the helix which are stereo in and out. That could become very frustrating if mixing with other pedals on your board.

ME 90. Its at 300, has more switches than GX-10 which is at 400 and you can create sounds faster and easier because you have all the drives/effects in knobs in front of you.

GX-10 is only for those who want something small that can fit into a gigbag.If you dont mind that then the real question is if you need me90 or GX-100.In that case i personally i would have gone to GX-100.You with what you want ME90 would be more than enough to do these tasks.

Funnily enough I think that might be the weak point for many people. Touch screen concept is great but just not the blocky interface which just just reminds me of the hexagons on the kids quiz show Blockbusters. I think this techie could lead you down the tone chasing fiddling path where you don't actually play enough. I think the Fender approach with a far more graphical interface with little amp and pedal icons is nicer.

[@MuntsoMixoLydian]

I've always wondered why when working with 3 foot switches, it isn't set up in such a way that press once, per normal does one thing on all 3 switches, double click to get the switch doing another or same just more of it and press and nano-second holds for another way to approach switching with just 3. Maybe im outa my mind but it seems that could open up the capabilities of a 3 switch system maybe. Im not seeing in general devices utilizing this sort of approach fully. Depending on how they set it up from the git-go of course. Unless Im missing something. If how I explained this made sense. Tough part for me is could have a decent point to make in my poor little brain, now explaining it proper is another trick. Hahaa

[@89ji76]

Can't do dual outputs like the GT Core so I'm not sure. Not without weird routings requiring dual amps and no ability to control the output mode of the real guitar cab you're running to. I'm still planning to get one of these ASAP for pub gigs where I'm just gonna run to a JC-120 and no FOH anyway, but still it's a limitation that keeps it from being the GamEChAnGeR it could be.

[@Yelbomsirhc1]

I don't care about dual outputs, but I think in theory you could pan one amp all the way left and the other amp all the way right and that way you would get separate amps coming out of the left and right outputs on the GX.

watching these modelers “shrink” reminds me of dragging my Twin out of the house on a weekly basis. I’m not going back to those times lol

[@MADRE-GUY]

totally confused didn't understand one thing you were saying because I don't use effects like this and I don't even know if I want to take the time to do it. I think I'd rather have an amp that does two or three sounds and then have a delay pedal overdrive pedal compressor and a chorus flange pedal. and just learn to live with those limited choices

Lack of MIDI a bit of a pain but the addition of the expression pedal is the main thing I have against it. Without that would have been a definite maybe back-up. Shame lots of great Boss FX in there and I'm not bothered that the amps aren't based on a specific real world one as long as they sound good.

[@duarteestelita7257]

i saw the guys at Andertons preview of this….and as soon as i realized there’s no MIDI IO….it was over for me.. What the hell were they thinking ??!! PS: Can it send/receive MIDI through USB ? What about Sends & returns ?

FIX THE LEGACY AMPS

[@dutelatte2154]

I don't see how this solves a problem for musicians at the price point. There are models like the mooer ge or hotone, valeton etc.. that can solve much more problems for less money.

[@ianparr1533]

Interesting that you think that BOSS not putting models of "named" amps into their floor units is a disadvantage in the marketplace, whereas that approach hasn't stopped the Katanas selling like hot cakes.

[@thelolguy007]

@@ianparr1533 indeed - if it sounds good it sounds good

[@darwinsaye]

Personally, I really dislike the Katana style of model naming, because it describes levels of gain rather than character. Names like Clean, Crunch, Lead, etc., are foolish because - let’s say their “Crunch” is based on a Marshall Plexi character - well I personally use Plexi types sounds for their clean to edge of breakup more so than for crunch sounds. I’d rather the model names give me an idea of the tonal character of the amp, even if they have to disguise it for legal reasons, like calling an Orange model something like a Tangerine instead. That tells me a lot more about the sound than if they’ve decided to name that model “lead” or something, and then *I will decide whether that will be a “lead” sound or whatever else I may want to use it for.

[@BOSSenjoyer]

It's got 28 named/hinted amps in Sneaky Amps for Katana MKII :p

[@mzwakhilethwala7105]

I own a gx-100 and to be honest, I've found my self resonating more with the boss amps than the known amp models. I use 3 amps, deluxe reverb (the only named model I use), boutique and x-high gain. This lets me put down every sound I have in my mind. Therefore, I don't see the need for 40 other amps. That's just my opinion.

[@thelolguy007]

@ I’m with you 100%. Be buy things these days based on how much they can give us like ‘40 amps’ when we use maybe 3 or 4 🤷‍♂️

Yeah there have been a bunch of videos out there on the GX-10..Has the same stuff basically as the GX-100.....I love it BUT sadly you need OS 13 or later so that lets me out.😒

I always program and edit right on the unit. I find the touch screen to be very easy to use. I can't be bothered with connecting it to a PC or Mac. In which case OS isn't an issue.

Boss should stop releasing the same technology in smaller units and should look how they would release the successor of GT-1000.

[@89digits59]

Boss Amp modelling is weak compared to Fractal / Line 6 Helix / Kemper / Cortex etc - Both Boss and Zoom need to wake up and smell the coffee - just changing the outer shell and calling it different names is not going to cut it, also put better quality input and output jacks on your units Boss, your processors rust like crazy. Boss Gain sounds static - there is no dynamic to notes - and Zoom amp sims sound like they have just EQ 'ed one amp differently and called it different names. Sorry for being brutally honest guys - I still own a lot of Boss Pedals and Zoom processors - but fact is fact - how many agree with me? 🙂

[@rafsnchz]

I don't agree, to me it doesn't matter how "accurate" Line6's modeling is - to me it always sounds like crap, and no it's not a "me" issue, any other plugin or fx processor even cheap ass Boss GT1 sounds better to me.

[@topazaditia]

Do you even have one of their units? (GT-1000, GX-100)?

[@joaquin8637]

No

[@josietran2003]

I own the GX100 and the GT1000 core. I've owned the HX stomp in the past. Never had any physical issues with Boss gear and the 3-dimensionality to the Boss amps is superior to Helix in my opinion specifically in the responsiveness. The sounds have more nuance and complexity especially after playing with EQ. Additionally the low latency is great and is most awesome/hi quality when using modulation. I agree that some of the overdrives and distortions have too much high frequency so that could be improved. Lastly the user interface/software is very user friendly though I wish they would publish updates more frequently.

[@theprogguitarist]

I own the GT1000 and in my opinion the main issue is with the built-in IRs. They have this unpleasant honky/nasal midrange that doesn’t record well at all in my opinion. So changing to 3rd party IRs really improbed the sound for me. I will say that the amp models themselves are very responsive and the effects have an amazing 3d quality to them.

[@cellarcatband]

They just keep ignoring balanced outs when most of the comparable products do have them, even in the lower price range. For me, that is a major turn off.

[@MartinKrijgsmanMusic]

True, but I fixed that with passive (stereo) DI. Doesn't have to break the bank.

[@cellarcatband]

@@MartinKrijgsmanMusic it is a solution, but it is still a workaround - additional cabling, additional device. Either you need a pedalboard, or you need to take more time to set it up on stage...

[@MartinKrijgsmanMusic]

@@cellarcatband It is annoying indeed, but it works, so yeah. The patch cables and DI for my GX100 fit into its case so it's not a big deal for me. I'm also carrying a Fender FR12 and for bass gigs an additional subwoofer so the DI is the least of my problems ;-).

[@alexei_u]

Boss mdp amps are great across the competition and make more sense than infinite run for unobtainiums. As lets be honest most of the playerbase never had a chance to play at least 25% of real amps offered in modelers so why to gaf about them? And all this accuracy debates every time are boring. Btw seems like you asked for a unit , but didnt like it or you are sad that they didnt send you it for free on launch :/ any more content for boss?

[@rafsnchz]

Personally I don't give a shit about "actual amp modeling" as long as it sounds good and so far from what I heard this sounds better to me that Line 6 stuff. I've really tried to like Line 6, but I just hate how much you have to tweak it to get a good tone. Helix native sounds like crap even compared to Amplitube or Guitar Rig.
