THIS IS HUGE - BOSS GX100 Firmware Update - New Amps, New Effects

[@BrianMorris-zc4md]

Thanks for taking the time to do this John. I just discovered the available 2.02 update this evening, brought everything up to speed and am anxious to try things out tomorrow.

[@nathan.rodrigues]

The slicer couldn't have come at a better time!! Literally about to play a show with some Audioslave covers

[@misterringer]

To be fair, Boss is still selling these in retail so the update isn't just for existing users, but to attract new ones. But still always great to see updates. And yeah, Boss is notorious for 1 and done, fix bugs and move on hahaha. EDIT: looks like the GX-100 is currently on sale here in the states for $500 (usually $600). Nice!

[@TheArgus1000]

The Slicer is here!!! I was waiting for this since I updated my Katana 1 long time ago! And they integrated IR loader into the Tone Studio, much needed improvement.

A couple years ago I walked into my local music store looking to try out the gt1000 . They had the gx100, and not only did I walk out with the unit, I've sold almost all my pedals since then. This thing is a titan!!

[@micwalt]

Juat used my GX at a casino gig last night. I wasn't jonesing for an update, but I'm certainly going to check it out. That X-Optima sounds pretty amazing!

[@rl-ub9hx]

Bassist here, I uploaded it this morning and the bass amps are really great! I'll dive deeper this weekend but all I did was flatten the preset EQ and adjust gain a little and they just opened up a ton of possibilities.

[@vomito72]

super grat news , it seems they fixed what was really missing Sd-1 , DS-1, high gain amps, more bass amps and IRs integrated in ToneStudio I really hope they have also fixed the IRs problem

[@odandrikop1]

Word is that they have indeed fixed the custom ir integration problem. Maybe someone can confirm???

[@coolfade]

Wow, that was fast. Good video, the auto wah is my favorite new function. I'll try it!

[@ideiaslivres8969]

We have to congratulate the company! I would really like them to include Celestion IRs in the AMPs and give us at least 32 IR blocks. 16 is too few. Anyway, the sound is amazing. I bought mine recently, luckily, because the price is probably going to go up."

[@TheCyberMantis]

Those new high-gain amps sound really good. Boss GX100 is the best value in a floor modeler. Katana Gen-3 head is best value in a "do-it-all" solution. Boss is giving players great affordable options.

[@michaelmarchei8539]

Really love the buzz and static coming through

[@michaelmarchei8539]

Cmon Boss. Give us what we wanted. Dimension C and dedicated steeeo pitch define

[@franklinslamo]

Thank you Boss!

[@christianperez2395]

Finally!!! It is really is a good day! All other modelers got new gear every so often and I started regretting getting the GX, that is, until today!!! Can’t wait to update!! Keep it up boss! Still think they are the best!!!

[@lewieadie8787]

The amps are great! Well done again Boss! Fantastic update!!

[@LuisJimenez-pb3ge]

Yes!!!!!! This is more than I was expecting too!!!!!

[@MGWGuitars]

Awesome. I hope they improved the unbearably slow Tone Studio interaction when you edit & save presets.

[@carlthomas99]

I did it. I am proud. I am not tech-savy. Thanks JNC.

[@sukadukaku]

I just updated my GX100 lastnight , it so cool with many new sound effects and i love it. weeks ago i want to sell it and gonna try to buy others but this 2.0 made me not tos sell it.

[@majorpentatonic2310]

Brilliant, a firmware update at last 😊

[@heneverreturnasahorse9773]

Not bad at all, and would certainly work at any conceivable gig - Roland/Boss products have been the best of roadworth simplicity. The only problem I have ever had with their products are the sterile sounds they produce. Good sounds, but not particularly three-dimensional, or exceedingly complex. I've always felt they took the hammer approach and are fantastic for what they do. They are my go to for a gig, but at home I rarely, if ever, use them.

[@TMFJ983]

Running GX100 into two Katanas, Amazing! Most fun I've had playing since i was a kid, and I'm old!

[@markdouglas8073]

Me too!

[@ahighervibe4086]

I run my GX100 into my Marshall DSL40C using the 4 cable method… then I add a SEND/RETURN block to my patch BEFORE the amps. So now I can activate the SEND/RETURN block to play through the Marshall . I set it up so when I activate the send return block the amps in the gx100 DEactivate. When I want to play through the GX100 amps I deactivate the send return block which activates the amp block in the GX100… which I run with the CAB DEACTIVATED as I’m already using the Marshall Cab. It works AMAZINGLY WELL as I have the best of both worlds… modeling and no modeling using the GX as a Multi Effects unit… all at the same time. Well… not simultaneously… but rather I can choose to run in Modeling mode or just use the Marshalls preamp. I go back and forth depending on mood😉

[@1234drums]

Awesome news, ty ❤

[@jackprice7828]

Those high gain amps very good. Sound very gig-able if thats your thing. But I thought the cleans were good as well.

[@shuttermaniac]

Lol, on tuesday i checked if there was a firmware update. Sixth sense

[@cgcarreno]

After 2 yrs of enjoying my GX-100 I was recommended to add an external overdrive pedal. I had a Boss OS-2 from a while back. Don't know if it's psychological, but I feel like it added a "warmer" quality to the tone. Now I'm tempted to add more ODs. Thoughts?

[@westman2222]

Note for updating! I did wrong THE FIRST TIME when i tryed to uppdate my Boss Gr 100 because i Only moved the two Bin files and- Not the other files! After i took all the files into the Boss when updating it worked!! Happy day and night! 🙂

[@shredhed86]

You mentioned Katana gen 3 output mode? I cant see that in uodate notes can you elaborate please

[@dutelatte2154]

I would love to see you review the Harley Benton multi-fx

[@tymanngruter1808]

This is the new nr. 1 birthday wish! Please.......

[@brucemcsquid6227]

Excellent demo as always. X-Ultra for the ME-90 now please Boss.

[@Mar33322]

IMO Boss could come out with the best modeler ever and it still wont sit at the cool kids table for some reason. Still there are some really awesome tones in the GX100 that are just as good as the other brands.

[@jourdinthedragon]

That's why I just bought one. It makes beautiful tones. I'm adding the Bluetooth and likely picking it over the Headrush Core

[@BOSSinfoglobal]

Where are we going wrong? ;)

[@ezer0923]

​@@BOSSinfoglobal user interface, hire new designers always ask, If I am the end user, how can I intuitively approach making patches, assigning controls, etc

[@markdouglas8073]

I love the GX-100. The Bluetooth that integrates my iPad and MIDI make it even easier, if you can’t be bothered to use its decent touch screen. I like the GUI, but wonder why the Boss effects don’t just replicate pedals.

[@Mar33322]

@@markdouglas8073 A touch screen unit of all their top pedals would be incredible .

[@wesmitchem825]

I'm just surprised the sd1 and ds1 weren't on it in the first place those would be the first drives I put on a boss multi fx

[@kevinmejia9065]

Titan is amazing for low tunings

[@jimmcdougall9973]

I see the Friedman IRX also got an update recently.

[@gaboasis21]

And my question is...when this happened?! Haha im on boss gx-100 groups and no one see that

[@aldor159]

Well this video was uploaded 1 hour ago so I guess in general people are just starting to notice the new update just now

[@arukam2008]

This month, probably just yesterday. You will see Gx-100 system program version 2 on boss’s website.

[@rodrigovuko]

I got the email from Boss, is good to subscribe for updates and register your gx100

[@Doa616]

I got an email letting me know

[@falquezfalquez]

If this processor had an embedded power amp it would be the end all be all.

[@ViralVerse-i9q]

I mean… it’s pushing 2x12 celestions at decent volume through the phones output 🤷‍♂️ you could talk over it though.

[@design8r]

GX-10 review please and demo the effects loop. :)

[@AlecBourneMidiMadScientist]

Nice !!

[@mtaskapablo]

Is there any way to block the "effects, ctl/exp, menu, exit, write and in/out" buttons??? I activate some of this buttons when i'?m playing...thanks a lot

[@Emi-vz7lk]

John, i have a very important question ¿Before updating it you had to save all your patches? Great video, as always

[@ahighervibe4086]

I just did it and it added everything new while keeping my patches intact!

[@JayTheLane]

High gain 😒 I likes me clean amps. Appreciate Boss doing this mind. I see the Silverface is usual for guitar.

[@jhonfelo]

I wish they updated the MS-3

[@Charvel4ever]

Hi Could you show what you did at the computer when you did the update. Nervous to do this. Thanks

[@ahighervibe4086]

It’s not tough. First create a new folder on your desktop. Then download the zip file and put it in that folder. Then open the zip file and extract to that same folder. Then… turn on the GX100 while pressing WRITE. A GX100 drive will appear on your desktop …. Now go into the new folder and highlight all the new files and drag them into the GX100 drive. Then right click on the GX100 drive and click disconnect or whatever word they use for that…. And the update will start automatically. Let it update until it says completed… then turn off the GX and turn it back on. Done.

[@pads-zr9ln]

I still can't get a decent sound playing through the power amp of my kat 50, sounds great through headphones

[@Herfinnur]

Are you making sure the Master volume is already maxed out? Also, yu might have the original model which doesn’t have the best speaker. I didn’t have much luck with that first version personally

[@JamesFlorio-ti8gc]

Try a 100 or artist with a effect loop. It changes extremely into a real cab....or if you running into your power amp in. Use a low cut at 123 hz and a high cut around 6.3 hz then build a patch from scratch n try that . Oh and only use the original Cabs with your choice of mic or mics 💯👍🏻😎

[@pads-zr9ln]

​@@Herfinnurit's a MK2 with the settings on the gx set at 100 kat send, there isn't a direct power out option, you turn the cab SIM off and it sounds awful

[@pads-zr9ln]

​@@JamesFlorio-ti8gcI'm considering a MK2 artist hower thomman sold out before I pulled the trigger, I already have 3 other amps so not in a rush for another incase it sounds good l

[@LuisJimenez-pb3ge]

Turn off the speaker type if you’re running to the power amp in. Set low cut to 80hz-100hz and hi cut to 6.3khz-10khz

[@ogmakefirefiregood]

The Boss GX100 is the best piece of gear you can get at that price point. I absolutely love mine. However, the reverbs are mid. So I run my GX100 into an Eventide H90. Problem solved.

[@martinfalagario8625]

Hola alguien sabe que son los dos ultimos archivos de descarga de la pagina de Boss tienen nombre de Source code of CEF? si me pueden explicar para que son se los voy agradecer

[@gaboasis21]

First! And finally some different stuff. Lets see how works...

[@1234drums]

Will the firmware update delete or overwrite my custom patches?

[@johnnathancordy]

Ooh - not sure - backup before!

[@D.NogueraMusic]

Late reply, you probably figured out already but just for reference: no it doesn't, patches aren't affected by the 2.0 update since the update only adds stuff and fixes some bugs, it doesn't mess with the memory.

[@1234drums]

@@D.NogueraMusic yes, I already tried and no data was lost... thank you, anyway ❤️

[@servethesongs]

@14:00 ffs, let the note ring so we can hear it... hitting another note and cancelling it as soon as it starts is idiotic

[@chrisruggles9998]

If i update this will i lose all my presets that i programmed myself?

[@sammegraso9926]

No

[@sukadukaku]

Yes... I lost all my Preset that put before, but fortunatelly i backup old stuff to my laptop before update

[@sammegraso9926]

did you update your gx?did it lose your preset after the update coz mine didnt..i already updated my gx twice and didnt lost any preset..but it is always safe to back up your preset with or without performing the update coz i lost half of my presets not after performing the update but after copying a preset to different bank..

[@sukadukaku]

@@sammegraso9926 yes I already update my GX, Im not sure about the preset but all the Patches that I added and save to GX has lost and has been overwritten with all defaults sounds from new Firmware 2.0

[@Herfinnur]

Again: I should get me a GX100. Every time you use it the sounds hit me differently than any of the other great sounds You’re getting, including your analog amplifiers

[@steved1099]

I got one after having a pod go... they are great. Amazing tones, 15 fx in the signal chain, dual amps, outstanding foot switch programming , stomp boxes or multiple fx and parameter changes per switch. I coupled mine to a tonex one in the fx loop and it literally has unlimited tones now..... I kove it

[@JayTheLane]

I have it and it sounds very organic and less processed. Also, the amount of effects you can add in the chain is a real boon compared to the Pod Go 😊

[@56brever]

I've had one for six months now. It was great before and with the new update it is stellar. Tones are fantastic. Give it a try, I bet you'll like it.

[@juana1483]

Can you play: The boys are back in town With this unit?????

Can’t be arsed with all this programming bollocks. Two dirt boxes and a tuner will do.

[@cancian123]

I can hear a ZZZZz noise on the background. Is it coming out of the GX100 ? THat was terrible. I`ll never buy one of these....

[@MelodicFrets]

It's his guitar that is causing the buzzing, from the single coil pickups. Single coil pickups buzz, especially around electrical equipment like lights and computer monitors. It will buzz no matter what effects unit he uses, unless he turns on a noise gate.
