Who's the Bass Boss? The GT-1B is!!!

[@bassman8299]

Thanks guys, for explaining how to access all the options and how to build user patches. Much more useful than the manuals that come with the GT-1B

[@TheAtlantaThrasher]

As a noob, I bought this as a means to "get into pedals" without buying the farm. Plus, I'm kind of doing this on my own. So, I'm kind of directionless. I went out and bought a pedal the other day , got home and played with it, loved it, then realized I have it on my GA-1B. So, I started digging and was like, "Ah, what doesn't this thing have?" Needless to say, I'm returning that other pedal. It's easy for a noob to get lost in this. But, It can also be fun to experiment, learn how everything works, put them in orders, and figure this stuff out without doing bankrupt. I'm glad i bought it.

[@RJMelling]

this unit is actually AMAZING. Lotsa fun, and even though I've got some sweet boutique-type pedals this thing still lives on my board and forms a kind of "nerve centre" for my overall sound. So whenever I need an odd quirky effect for something that I don't want to pay $250 for a pedal to create... yes we get shafted for effects units here in New Zealand... this unit delivers the vibes every time. I play bass (obviously) in a live prog metal band and I do exactly what these dudes said - program a heap of patches to flick through for each of our songs. That way I just have to use the up and down switches to change the tones and effects for each part of the songs. When we meander and jam then my other pedals take over. I've also expanded it with the FS7 double footswitch so now this pedal is pretty much unbeatable for versatility. The only thing that I've found a bit iffy is the tuner, which flits and wobbles all over the place. But thats not really why you're buying this pedal is it?! Get a tc polytune.

[@germanperezbottesi4458]

Same here. It's awesome. I sold all my old pedals and never looked back. And yes, tuner goes bananas.

[@WafflesMitMilch]

Hey, hope u can answer this after 2 years. I’m starting a metal cover band and I’m wondering if this pedal would be enough to play some effects from tool, like in schism or the pot

[@ianstewart2335]

My Vox FX tuner mode isn’t much cop, neither! 🤔

[@TauntingGlaciers]

You should have brought someone that actually like bass effects to demo this one

[@mixbassdj]

Indeed.!! I thought exactly the same…

[@JMC4101994]

That lick with the envelope filter at 24:06 sounds awesome. Great playing Lee!

[@Gk2003m]

I got one a year ago and am happy with it. I have it parallel to a ‘dry’ line because I like always hanging that non-effected tone underpinning everything. Absent that, the distortions in this unit are too thin. But for the price, with all the other great effects, it’s wonderful

[@khromeconceptsinc1772]

how do you parallel it with your system ?

[@Gk2003m]

I use a Behringer mini mixer. Bass directly into one channel of the mixer, and that channel is full left and 50% effect. The effect send goes to the GT1B. The return from that comes back to another channel on the mini mixer. The left output of the mini mixer goes to the main amp, and the Right to the second amp. Blend to taste.

[@markmeloney2643]

I used to have the gt 6b. it was super convenient to turn it on and have your patch exactly as you left it, but that model was huge and i was always scared of the power coming unhooked on stage. I think running the 1b with rechargeable batteries would be great

[@alanredversangel]

The newer gt stuff sounds so much better than the old stuff. I used to have a gt-8 that I couldn't get a good amp sound out of. Some of the GP-10 amp models are great without tweaking.

[@stevelivinghouse3378]

[@rockereivanivan]

I just ordered this, hope to get mine the next week lml, I'll upload a video reviewing this from an amateur bass player lml

[@wilrennehan3205]

Factor in this pedal is the price of 1 boutique pedal and has INCREDIBLE SOUNDS in it .. I just got one and haven't tried my guitars through it just for the effects .. gonna give it a try ..

[@SO-fb4ef]

tried one out, can get some really cool sounds - but most of the effects are there to fill up the list. There are 4 things which are basically an EQ, and lots of random junk effects. It cannot replace enough of my pedals to stop me tap dancing - so I can't warrant buying it, as it solves no problems for me

[@pedropenduko2714]

Thank you very informative. Cheers!😎🤘🏽😎🤘🏽😎

[@mrutherford60]

Must help when you have Mark King's brother doing the demo :) Nathan is a bloody good guitarist, mind..in Level 42

[@gerardobartoccini9942]

Hi everybody, I have a (hope) simple question: I see that there are A LOT of effects under FX2/MOD. My question is: can I combine, say, octaver+chorus+tremolo, or are they only alternative choices?

[@SpectorEuro4]

You can combine 2 FXs. So I believe you can have a chorus+tremolo or chorus+octaver and viceversa, but not 3. Unless you get an extra expression pedal which you have a port on the back to connect :)

[@avital2166]

If you press enter you it move between the different parameters pages there are much more knobs for each effect!!!!!

[@bradabbottmusic]

This comment sold me on the unit. I was like “nope, there’s barely any adjustment” way to save Boss from this somewhat weak review. Love andertons. This isn’t one of their strong ones.

[@imulio]

Use di boxes for a better representation, the rumbles have cab sim permanently engaged on the di, scoops the sound.

[@rogercabo5545]

Would be interesting to see what Limit Compression effects are available. The ZOOM B1 contains some UREI 176 type AND ZNR that are amazing glueing your play style. The Boss seems to be very out styled and simple effects.

[@molonlabe1033]

I bought one of these yesterday and I like it so far although there is one thing that frustrates me with this board is the fact that certain manufacturers sell the power supply separately which is bullshit . If you pay $200+ dollars for something to power it besides 4 off brand double A batteries. Just so you know those batteries would not last an entire night playing a show I'm considering buying some a rechargeable battery setup so I can have 2 or 3 sets on hand .
