Boss GT-1000 Core - How To Create a High Gain Tone

[@2ndveil155]

Paul. Another Great Video. Love it! Indeed, I want this patch. I’ve set up a Tube Screamer mini in front of my CORE for additional gain staging and a BOSS FS-7 in CTL 2/3 to assign on-off switches to different effects . Thank you so much for all your informative videos.

[@jayeye89]

Ive been in the market for a Helix stomp. This has thrown a spanner in the works.

[@6stringstrum]

Thanks Paul! Awesome pedal! Just bought it.

[@shredangel777]

Hey studio rats Thank a bunch for all of your tutorial videos I use them all for my katana and my gt1000 core They are extremely informative I am looking forward to your reverb tutorial video! Thanks!!!

[@TheStudioRats]

Glad you like them!

[@Crabfather]

What a fantastic sounding processor! Id get one tomorrow if i could. Nice playing too man.

[@TheStudioRats]

Sounds great!

[@davidwoods358]

Cool! I'll be here for all the Core 1000 videos.

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers David, I’ll get some more up this week.

[@micdim1]

Hey Paul, great video! How will using Dual amps setting affect a live situation going stereo direct though a PA system where the speakers are far apart? Should the Sound Man still spread far Left & right at 100%, or in your experience should it be more closer like 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock? Thanks for doing such a great job!

[@whazpoppin]

I don‘t want to be rude, but i didnt expect a guy with a strat when i search for high gain sounds 😅. But you created some great tones. Greetings 🤘🏼

[@Dimanchy_Boss]

Hello, dear Paul! You make very useful, interesting and high-quality videos. I am especially interested in the Boss GT1000. I tried your patches, they are good! At home in headphones or via hi-fi. But! Arriving at the studio, there was a crash! My Boss sounds like a squeaky, itchy poo in the line! Can you teach me how to set up the sound in the studio for rehearsal, at high volume? How to deal with delay and reverb?

[@DonDiegoMorel]

awesome!

[@moswalker]

amazing

[@headkickko609]

God damn, everything you do with the GT1000 sounds juicy AF...

[@TheStudioRats]

It’s a great little unit.

[@headkickko609]

@@TheStudioRats I bought it's bigger brother some 3 months ago, I just wanted it for effects to complement, my Mesa TC50. Good God, that rig is just stellar now. Had some problems setting it up (out level to low, global EQ...). But now it's just a killer. And should I not be able to take the whole setup to the gig, I can use the units Amp sims... And lets not forget the Bluetooth feature, no more praying position in front of the pedal, just take you phone and edit away...

[@mcant2023]

Hi Sir. Just wondering if I can add Clean tone on this before the high gain? If so can you please let me know? Appreciate it. Thank you so much and Happy new year 🥳

[@danielminnick5677]

Great tutorial!

[@TheStudioRats]

Thanks Daniel.

[@dazzmetcoll3843]

Luv your work can’t decide want to use with my amp using 4 cable method between gt1000 core or helix stomp which do u think is better to use with a amp cheers

[@TheStudioRats]

Cheers. Both are great, but I’d use the gt

[@wabisabi6802]

Bridge pickup? Excellent tone. 👌

[@gianthonour]

Any tips on setting up / tweaking the system settings for a user from scratch 👍

[@TheStudioRats]

Hi Giant, I haven’t felt the need to change anything, are you talking about anything in particular?

[@gianthonour]

@@TheStudioRats just global settings that may have to be set up, but that's cool if it's ready to go

[@johnmancina5976]

Hey Paul, Since the OD pedal is at the beginning off the chain, does bringing the dry signal mix down to zero for the overdrive pedal also keep it at zero throughout the path?

[@TheStudioRats]

Hi John, if I understand your question then yes.

[@DavidDeavenport]

Great tutorial! I use the GT-1000 but this info would certainly be applicable for that as well. Just curious-what kind of monitors are you using? Thanks!

[@TheStudioRats]

Hi David cheers! I’m using Kii three monitors

[@DavidDeavenport]

@@TheStudioRats Thanks, I'll check them out. If that's what you were using in the video they sounded fantastic!

[@DavidDeavenport]

@@TheStudioRats Wow! No wonder they sounded so good. A bit pricey for my humble studio! ;-)

[@AnthonyPrechtl]

Nice tone. I don't understand the appeal of dual amps though. It sounded just as good with one.

[@jamesthepanther]

Were you listening with headphones???

[@workdays8280]

Hello there is that going threw a Valve amp or your mixer

[@TheStudioRats]

Straight into an interface

[@NevermindTheNirvanaTributeBand]

Sounds great! Are you using the stock cabs here or a custom IR?

[@TheStudioRats]

For this vid i used the stock speakers.

[@ofirr673]

Hi Paul - which Amp or Cabin do you recommend using with the GT100 Core ?

[@TheStudioRats]

I’ve only tried it going into my studio monitors. But have a look at the Line6 Frfr cab.

[@mcant2023]

Hi all. Anyone can enlighten me if I can make a clean tone before the high gain? How to assign the DIV1? TIA appreciate it

[@RySobi]

Hey Paul, I just picked up a gt1000core and I replicated everything you mentioned in your tone, but it still sounds too crunchy. It's almost as if there's a clean output bleeding through. Are there any settings I need to look at out of the box to make sure i'm not outputting a dry signal? I'm running through a focusrite scarlet solo into a DAW. It just sounds like it's missing half of the gain and there's absolutely no dynamics. It just sounds flat!

[@TheStudioRats]

Hi Rysobi, have a look at the new vid I did with the ultimate tone. Download the file and let me know how it goes.

[@RySobi]

@@TheStudioRats it sounds great as a crunch, but there's absolutely no dynamics or sustain. Pinch harmonics dont come through, and even with the boosted gain it sounds like it's missing half the gain needed and just falls flat. I've tried three guitars for reference. Im puzzled if I need to correct any output settings or i have a defective unit, or this pedal simply isn't made for high gain leads. Even on the high gain X amps set to full gain, it sounds like a low gain crunch.

[@TheStudioRats]

Hi Rysobi, I suggest contacting Boss support or if you’d rather talk to me you can book a 1 to 1, hour session. If you want to do that you can contact me via our website thestudiorats.net

[@sasmitha8446]

Have you connected the GT1000 Core through USB to the computer? If so, I think through one of the USB channels, there will be a dry track recorded which can be used for re-amping. If so, see whether there are multiple tracks being recorded in your DAW, then it will be just a matter of muting or deleting the USB track. If there is only one track being recorded and the GT1K Core is not connected to the computer, then I am at a loss my friend. Hope the issue will be fixed!

[@DimitrisMitrolios]

@@RySobi What pups are you using? Raise your input level and everything will be fine!

[@GH3K3]

I don't want to have to hook it up to a computer; maybe you could show how to edit on the unit itself.

[@Malburn]

Poor big Gt1000, it's all...... Core Blimey! look at this wee begga? Isn't it so tiny eh! Corrrrey me, it sounds so good!! Awk look at the wee thingy it's so cute. Yes, I own the bigger box, on behalf of the "proper" GT1000 (Mansize for Men)....down with this little pretender I say ;-) Sounds fantastic, more please!!

[@levimramos1672]

Looking for assign matrix tutorial

[@nicholas3895]

This shit sounds good tho.

[@holysmoke8439]

The core only has gain bass treble n reverb

[@onemancarnage]

Yes, more videos . There is allot on this gt 1000 that I have no clue what they do . Like ducking ! Wtf is that ? Lol.

[@rjw7032]

Ducking is where the input signal amplitude is used to modulate the effect level. Stronger input lessens the delay or reverb making notes clearer as you play while pauses bring on the delay/reverb. Awesome feature to have and is on most high end units.

[@onemancarnage]

@@rjw7032 thank you

[@marctamtonthat]

It sounds very digital.

[@sevynn3970]

Honestly, all modelers do have a digital edge, ALL of them. Nothing sounds and feels like a tube amp but an actual tube amp regardless of what modeler fan boys say. So if it is a tube sound you want, then a tube amp is what you get (though a modeler through a tube amp helps). That said, modelers produce great tones in their own right and are best approached for what they are - digital processors that can give you a lot of tonal flexibility while mimicking a bit of the characteristics of traditional amps; no more, no less. I’ve gigged with tubes, solid state, and digital and have gotten great tones. My tube amps are my preference but I am becoming more interested in a streamlined set up.

[@marctamtonthat]

Sounds more digital than an HX stomp. I have one fyi.

[@sevynn3970]

I just accept that they all do to a greater or lesser extent and that some do better than others in certain areas. Helix is another great unit and, IMHO is not by any means vastly outpaced by it’s competitors like Kemper or Fractal. I actually think it is quickly getting to the point that seeing somebody playing a tube amp will be like seeing some old dude cruising in his ‘57 Chevy Bel Air. It’s a good time to be a guitarist, lots of great gear out there

[@marctamtonthat]

I’m just giving my personal opinion on this boss unit. It sounds more digital than helix or HX stomp which isn’t perfect. I also have a tube amp (Victory Countess V30) so I have a reference. Don’t worry for that. Boss isn’t good at modeling distorsion imho.

[@richieknight5423]

it is digital.......
