The GT-1 delivers pro-level tones everywhere you play; it's ultra-portable and easy to use. Driven by the powerful BOSS GT-series engine, players have access to a vast selection of world-class amps and effects for all types of music. A streamlined interface encourages quick and intuitive sound creation, while an assignable control switch and expression pedal provide dynamic real-time effects adjustment. And by connecting to BOSS TONE CENTRAL, you can download free pro patches, editing software, and more. The GT-1 multi-effects pedal packs premium sound in a compact and rugged package, equally suited for beginners, weekend warriors, and travelling players.
Thanks to its Premium BOSS sound engine, the GT-1 provides tone quality and sound-shaping ability that exceeds typical compact multi-effects. A history of BOSS processing is at your fingers, from classics such as the OD-1 Overdrive to modern effects powered by innovative MDP technology. There's a huge selection of COSM amp tones on tap, including vintage legends and BOSS original amps optimised for ideal tone and response. In addition, specialised effects like Acoustic Simulator, Guitar Simulator, and others provide numerous tonal options, and there's even a looper to improve your practice sessions and stage performances.
The GT-1 was developed for musicians on the move. It's surprisingly lightweight and compact yet still delivers the tough durability that BOSS is famous for. The modern design is easy to slip in and out of a guitar bag's accessory compartment, with no worries of hard edges causing damage to your guitar. AC or battery power provides flexibility for any performing situation, and up to seven hours of battery life is available for street performing and other mobile gigs.
With the GT-1, it's simple to find fantastic tones that match your style and just as simple to customise them to taste. Beginners can get great sounds right away, while more experienced players will appreciate how quick and intuitive it is to adjust sounds. The Easy Select function allows you to choose patches by genre, distortion, or effect type, while Easy Edit lets you tweak drive, modulation, and echo tones to perfection with little effort. Dedicated panel buttons provide quick on/off switches for effect groups and unlock deep-dive parameters for microscopic fine-tuning.
At BOSS Tone Central, you'll find tons of free patch collections for playing all types of music with the GT-1. Created by pro guitarists, these patches are dialled-in and ready to use. This is a point to start for advanced players who like to create their own custom sounds. The free BOSS Tone Studio software provides a full-featured editor/librarian for the GT-1 and integrated access to all the patch collections at BOSS Tone Central.
The GT-1's three footswitches are smartly designed to provide patch selection, tuner access, looper control, and more in a minimal footprint. The dedicated CTL1 switch can be assigned to functions such as tap tempo, effects on/off, and numerous others. Likewise, the expression pedal and toe switch are assignable to volume, wah, and various effects parameters. If you yearn for more control, there's even a jack for connecting up to two external footswitches or an expression pedal. And in addition to providing access to BOSS Tone Central and BOSS Tone Studio, the GT-1's USB jack lets you record tones with your favourite DAW.
