BOSS GX-100 All Of The Amps.

[@bootlegbassman]

I've had helix, headrush, kemper, axefx etc and honestly I never considered a boss unit. I tried my friends out and couldn't believe how easy I got the sound I wanted. Fancy names of amps and pictures of the amps don't mean a thing... this thing is the real deal. just use your ears.

[@FilipPandrc]

I've been using it for a year and a half with my function band, and it has a great tone in every venue we play. I particularly like slightly overdriven sounds. They sound so natural and are very dynamic, very inspiring to play. Not to mention the unit is compact, much smaller than my old gt-10 that I used for years prior. I wish gx-100 existed a decade ago, it would've made me a better player, for sure.

A criminaly underrated YT Channel. Great content great playing

[@monty64]

Great video, I can't thank you enough, you've been helping me a lot in exploring the GX100 main possibilities. Great unit, by the way, amazingly natural tones, kudos to Boss. The Divider feature, coupled with the flexible blocks, makes the fun endless. Cheers from Brazil.

[@marktullo35]

This is definitely on my wish list, and as usual thanks so much Paul for making this very easy to understand...I currently have the GT-1, which I find to be pretty capable in its own right, but this GX-100 can do so much more.

[@JackDeiten555]

I bought it, it's legit all a guitarist would ever need. Plus, it has a touchscreen that the flagship model doesn't have : P

[@michaeldean7220]

Great stuff. And the number of people who would watch the Andertons demo of the GX100 and be turned off? Paul is just so good at getting great tones and showing that you do need to put a little effort into getting to know your unit. Of course the touch screen interface may be a bit ' Marmite ' but you can just use the knobs.

Cheers boss

It's great to watch how easily you dial in great tones on the GX. I'm loving this unit. Right now, I'm using the X-Modded for the high gain tones and the Natural for cleans in my tribute band. Running it through a HeadRush 108, it sounds huge.

Killer strat!, I think a mint green pick guard would be perfect on that one., the boss units are all great.

[@keeponplaying2625]

Thank you for your thoughts Paul.Always a pleasure if you share your point of view.For me i overall love the feel of this unit playing wise. I tried a lot of stuff. But no other digital unit gives me the impression , that im immediately connected to the notes i am playing, as soon as i dig in - if that makes sense. First time im satisfied feelingwise with a digital unit. I think this piece of gear is a nobrainer....not only at this price point. And this is for me at least the mainreason what sets it apart from Helix, Neural DSP etc.

[@Steven3D8888]

Great video, thanks for sharing! - Cheers 🎸

Sounds awesome! And nice touch, man.

[@TheStudioRats]

Hey, thanks!

[@accentontheoff]

Would be great to see a video about the 5-10 amps that are overtly modelled after well known amps, and get a sense of how close they are to the original.

[@76booge]

They all sound nice through an audio interface, but can you do a demo of the GX100 plugged straight into a Katana 50 with the speaker mic'd up? I'm more interested in hearing the "in the room" sound.

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

In the review from Anderton’s, they mentioned that there was no 5150 model. Listening to this review, I’m not missing it. It’s 16 February, 2024 as I comment, and I might grab one of these today. If I do, i’m just stoked to try my hand at emulating the mid-boosted, compressed electric guitar tone created by Tom Scholz of Boston in the late 70s. I’ve been using a different Japanese-manufactured stomp box to get that tone (the Goat Generator from Rancher). I like it, but it’s a little bit “out of control” (white noise if you lower your guitar volume like Tom Scholz, Brian May and Terry Kath for cleaning up, and it is occasionally too trebly). Also taking into account that it’s got an external expression pedal input, it would also be neat to make an attempt at emulating a different Boston device, the Hyperspace pedal. That particular device involves controlling an echoplex’ feedback and delay time in realtime.

[@Kenneth.W.63]

Super informative demo ! Great sounds and demo relevant playing 👍 (I could not make myself break the nice 777 on the 'like' button) ;)

[@Studio-ffft5]

[@Prossdog]

Interesting philosophy they’ve taken as far as amp models. I’ve got a Line 6 Pod Go which has far more options, but frankly it’s a bit overwhelming at times. I almost think a smaller pool to choose from would be kinda refreshing.

[@mysticteaparty]

If you would play live with this, would you still use an amp? Or get the L+R to the front of the house and ask for guitar in the foldback? I have the unit and I am still carring around an amp. I tried to connect straight to PA once on rehersal and I didn't like the sound not blasting at me from an amp lol. and I didn't want to risk it for live situation.

Great video, can you use the expression pedal to gradually switch between one amp and the other? Asking for a friend.😁

[@Nightwinflyer]

Right now I am shopping multi-fx pedals. The market is saturated with them, I don't know which one to buy. From the Zoom G5N and G11 to the Boss GT-1000 and Line 6 Helix, they all produce great sounds. I am not sure the upper end will give me $1000 more value. The options on the GT-1000 are amazing though. The $500 range is tempting, but i might as well go all in at that point. I still watch videos that keep me looking at that darn Zoom G5N!

[@keeponplaying2625]

Really and honestly feelwise brilliant. So immediate and natural response. Give it a try and save money. Even from the Helix the big one i felt disconnected from playing. Not natural and immediate response.

[@Nightwinflyer]

Are you referring to the Zoom G5N?

[@keeponplaying2625]

@@Nightwinflyer No, there is no comparison. GX 100 all the way.l Im not a fanboy. Im 51....tried a lot. But the GX 100 is really good. Zoom in my opinion feels sometimes more like the ME 80 if you know what i mean.
