    I needed a small, compact, and light multi-effects pedal that I can use on my gigs. I was busy and didn't have time to buy one before the show so I bought this Boss GT-1, 1-2 hours before going to the club. I am familiar with BOSS's system and I was thinking that it's going to be easy to set up my sounds. Or is it?
    Here you will see how I chose from the presets and tweak it. I usually spend more time with the sound or tone but I was in a bit of a rush.
    I used the small amp as a monitor and connect it to the R (right) channel and another output L mono going straight to the P.A. system.
    Hopefully, you'll get an insight into how it sounds and how it performed in a live gig situation and maybe help you decide if you're gonna buy one or not. Enjoy the video!

    I have analog pedals but multi-effects/guitar processors nowadays are getting better and if you're traveling by public transportation with all your gears for a gig, a small lightweight pedal that can provide a good sound is a big help. Especially if you cannot carry a good amp, no available amp or you need to go directly to the P.A. system (usually in small bars).
    Will the Boss GT-1 deliver?

    Out of the box, into the amp and onto the gig! One of the best video reviews I've seen. I am waiting for my GT1 to arrive as I write this. I'm as amateur as amateur can be but I enjoy playing guitar as a hobby. Having an effects processor adds to the enjoyment of creating tones and sounds. And this video made me decide on the GT1. Great playing Alvin. Mabuhay ang musikerong Pinoy :) All the best!

    Thanks for the vid, really appreciate the time you put in to record while setting up for a gig. I bought a GT1 two months back but haven't really had the chance to use it [live in an apartment/flat - so it's acoustic time when at home]. Just got access to facilities where I can at last plug in, mess about, and not terrify the pensioner next door. Your info is not only enlightening but also puts my mind to rest that I didn't waste meager cash reserves on future closet junk. I have much the same taste in music and looking forward to getting similar sounds out of my amp. Thanks.

    Last weekend I had my first gig and I just used the gt 1, no amps just the pedal, a mixing board and two PA speakers, it sounded amazing, of course I've never tried gigging with an actual tube amp or anything but I've seen in concerts that guitar players have the amp, the pedalboard and a microphone right in front of the amp, to me it seems like a very complicated set up. But with this it's portable, easy to plug in and the tones you can get out of it are great. I even use it when I'm out playing on the street for money, I plug in a regular Bluetooth speaker into the headphone jack of the pedal and it sounds great

This was on my radar and the price was right, but even though there are reviews, they are all people just playing with the sounds. It's hard to tell how it feels live. This is about the best review of a product I have seen in a wile. Thank you for posting!

Plus you can plug it right into a surround receiver and play through a PA system or into headphones. No amp necessary!

    You are brave! I’m still tweaking mine and probably over thinking it. Mostly what I need to work on is combo sounds with clean or crunch and CTRL for leads. I did buy a cheap 2 button Hosa pedal from Amazon and added two more buttons to easily turn on or off effects and give more in-song flexibility.

      @@rtroiani That’s interesting! I’m looking at floor effects processors to use on-stage in church. I recently borrowed an old Line 6 Spider amp and really liked the sounds. Couple of drawbacks is it doesn’t have the 4-switch pedal control and the master volume is very touchy. I started looking at the ME-80 but noticed it had been out for a while. Then I saw this video thinking maybe the GT-1 would work better and lower cost. Any other reasons why you sold the GT and went with Line 6 Pod?

      @rtroiani Před 2 lety

      @@bcain5823 actually a few reasons. While I love pedal the sounds in the GT1 since I also have a Katana and Waza Air headphones for playing on the couch, I noticed I didn’t use that many presets, so when looking at my band mate’s huge Headrush board, I knew that was ridiculous. The Pod had a nice balance of software and abilities to make anything, but I really like the Snapshots feature where you can setup a rig with different pedal effects, then in one mode, switch between four presets that can change any values of any pedals or amp in that rig. Additionally, if you hit the Mode button, you can switch to pedal board mode and use it like that when needed. It also has a small for factor and is built like a tank. I went with the Pod Go Wireless, so I just plug in the transmitter and ready to go.

The Spider has 4 (for lack of term) "channels effects" that are programmable. I use 3 that require switching back and forth. Needless to say, it was (and will be) a challenge to press those buttons in mid-playing. Thanks for the insight and I will be looking at the Line 6 Pod Go throughout my endeavor to find the right floor unit.

    I have the gt1. I like the assignments. On some patches i assign several things to do more. Like i use it with an expression pedal and have amp drive and delay time set to it. So all i have to do for a lead solo is press down on the exp pedal it turns up the gain and longer delay time.

      Hi Paul, umulti fx uses preamps or amps inside the unit. So plugging it in front of an amp is like using 2 amps but it will not sound good. What you can do is turn off the preamp on the unit so that you can hear the sound of your amp and just usung the fx. But if you want to hear the unit you can plug it at tge back of the amp or just on the PA system or FRFR Speakers. Hope that helps. Enjoy 🤘🏼

      Hi Pablo, Thank you! I appreciate it. And I guess you're asking if it doesn't sound while you're scrolling up or down the patches? It will not as long as there is no sound coming from your guitar. I suggest making "close patches" or patches that you need that are close together. I usually put them let's say P1-clean P2-crunch P3-lead P4-clean or crunch P5-lead or clean and so on. Then make another batch of close patches so that you don't need to tap dance on stage ;) and also eliminate any unwanted sounds. I hope that helps.

    Nice job! Very impressive getting the GT1 setup before a gig. I've had it for a while and I'm still tweaking it. I didn't see if you are running direct into the fx loop of your amp. I've done that, but my master volume on my Marshall combo becomes disabled. So if i play at a gig, I've found myself tweaking the master level on the GT1 and some of the levels on the patches. When I've run the GT1 through the front of the amp it tends to sound a little muddy/processed. Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

      Chris P Hi Chris! I was plugged in front of the amp from R right channel on the GT and Lmono out to the mixer. Been using BOSS products for many years so I have a good idea on how to work with the pre-amps and all, I usually go with the presets and tweak it with the amp that I'll be using. Try to change the pre-amp if you think that it sounds muddy. and I usually just put all the Eq, treble,mid and bass on the amp in the middle (5) and work on the GT's pre-amp and Eq. Hope that helps. Comment or message me if you have any more questions or concerns that I can help you with. Have a great day!

    Going directly into PA and using a guitar amp for a monitor is not a good idea, because the frequency response between a PA speaker and a guitar amp is very different - if you tune your tone based on what it sounds like on your guitar amp, it'll sound totally different on the PA system. If you are going into the PA directly it's best for you to use a PA monitor for monitoring.
