The Boss GT units excel at 4 cable method and speed of patch switching. Fractal Audio still has no peer in terms of amp modeling, but for ease of use in 4CM no one beats "the Boss".
Thanks a lot Ola, I was about to sell my unit and suddenly found your video and now Im making my dream tones out of this unit thanks again for all the information..Subscribed 👍
Love the Bogner Cabnet on GT fx, I agree with Tscream sounds it amazing - Recto and Marshall Tube sound really nice also. I've never had to connect to a pc because after a while you become so fast with the knobs and buttons you don't even have to look, though saying that im very intrigued by the sharing concept and testing chains others have made. Just everything is awesome about GT Fx, it virtually has everything - haha yeah but presets aren't that hot tbh.
Yeah, it's the biggest bang for the buck of all guitar pedals, IMO... The kicker for me was how good it handled my acoustic guitars... For some reason, Boss's distortion, overdrives, and fuzz play extremely well with my acoustics through this pedal... If I could only have one pedal, it would have to be this one...
i have the core and helix rack as my main modellers . there surprisingly different . the core needs time to get familiar with , tweak to your taste . they are very deep and the parameters and sounds interact and layer in different ways . the helix is more out of the box ready to rock , but sometimes i find its sounds are little more flat and 1 dimensional . the 1000 has a smother bigger sweet spot but you have to work harder to get there .
I love my GT1000 Core, I use it in 4CM with an EVH 5150 50w - the reverbs and delays are great. I still prefer my Angry Swede over the HM-2 patch on the GT1000 though but it's still cool that they included one.
Like Ola said, “if you don’t have any other pedals and you want to keep things simple”, this pedal makes sense. However, multi-effect programmable pedals have (3) major drawbacks. First, because of the endless configuration options, you may suffer “paralysis from analysis”. Second, you can’t place a name with a face like you can with a 1 trick pony pedal. Third, “Chasing Tone” is a disease for which there is no cure, only treatments. People with this disease are often referred to as pedal-holics. To date, there are only (2) forms of treatment; The first and most expensive, is a new guitar or amp, which can be extremely effective and long lasting. The second and most popular treatment, is the Pedal. Pedals are usually a more affordable treatment, but the effects are not normally as long lasting. It’s a sad disease, if you suspect you or a loved one may be suffering from this disease, talk to your Sweetwater representative to explore treatment options😉
Buy a Fractal Audio Axe FX III and be done with all need for pedals ever. That's what I told myself 4 years ago when I sold off my two pedalboards and went AXE III --> RME UFX+ --> FRFR. Now, it truly is an unreal piece of gear. Everything you could ever want and more. Mind-boggling options galore. But here I am....back to building another pedalboard. Only God knows why.
We all have are own thing you do coffee with Ola , Myself I do Wake and Bake with mtn dew and Ola 😉 To the point your sense of humor is the best here for the music but the laughs keep me coming back Thanks for being you😎
Try plugging it into a power amp and real cab, even though it uses the same pre amp modeling the AIRD gives it a much tighter feel than a normal amp but a real cab gives it the “air” and push a real amp has
I never understand anything you're talking about but i enjoy the hell out of your channel anyway. I'm a dinosaur when it comes to all this techy witch craft... i just plug my *cable into my amp & play 🤷♂️
Friggin' love that pedal. Fits in my gig bag, now I can practice everywhere. Personally I liked the modelling capabilities better than those of the HX Stomp, but I guess that's subjective given how good modellers have become in general.
hello Ola , as always a pleasure to hear your impression of gear . I this case your programed metal rhythm patch is impressive. Your playing rocks as usual. great demo.
I love mine, sounds far better for rock than my Helix (though I love my helix too tbh).. Lots of free downloads on the Boss Tone Studio. McRocklins pack (10 presets) is just something else.
the GT1000 core has AMAZING effects. The presets for modern metals are definitely lacking and so are the cab sim options. I think the amp models Boss created for the unit, like the Juggernaut and the X High-gain Modded sound incredible, especially for tuning low. One of the things that disappointed me a bit with it is that one can't change more than one parameter with the CTL 1, but at least the preset management is pretty good. One thing i've been thinking of trying out is using both the HX Stomp and GT1000 core together, like putting the Stomp in the FX loop of the Core to use it's drive, amp and cab sims and using the Core for it's amazing FX. Does anyone have thoughts on how that would work?
@@apoplexiamusic I strongly recommend reading THE ULTIMATE GUIDE to GT-1000 on Boss' website. There is a section called USING ASSIGNS - CONTROL MULTIPLE EFFECTS that should tell you everything you need to know 🙂
It's going to be a hard sell when compared to the competition, Boss has some work to do when it comes to amp sims (well for metalheads anyways) I would go line6 pod go or hx stomp at that price point
It's weird to see boss kinda doing copycat products all the time (500 series/strymon). This is obviously going after the stomp and I don't think it's better in any way.
@@lockedowng I only see this unit as better than the stomp if the goal is to use it with external pedals in the effects loop. For amp modelling it sounds like line 6 still wins.
It's not like Boss developers don't know how to write algo that interpret IR's properly. The Roland Corp. is pretty exceptional in that regard (see TD-50x Processor) and Boss has significant resources to make it happen. I'm willing to bet that if a reputable CZcamsr were playing through the GT1000 Core on several amp/cab patches, but said it was the Fractal FM3, nobody would pick up on it in a fake demo.
Ahh I get it. It's meant to be the core of your FX Loop. Jack in guitar, send to amp, amp sends back to GT1000, send out again to...cabinet? Or going straight to audio interface to DAW the GT1000 Core would be an excellent, compact unit to have on the desk which is how I would use it.
I dare to say that my old Boss GT5 is not worst than this unit, you will be surprised how amp section sounds with external IRs, the FX are very good, and, the ODs, distortions...are analog (if I´m correct), and I have seen Nuno using a GT8 playing with Ryanna, so don't underestimate the older units, they are cheaper and built like a tank!
Long time no trying out the Boss GT1000 Core. Pretty good alternative if you want to go small(?)
Hey ola have you played with the boss Sy-1000? Is it a Synthesizer and effects? Say similar to line 6 hx effects?
That's Amazing! But please, someday you should try the GT-100 a lot ppl say that isn't good enough for Metal. But I know you can show us it is.
Hey Ola! Nice demo!
Hej olla!
Man you need to do some Led Zeppelin cover! And you should also sing more often! 44 sounds like a porn soundtrack! Great demo!
Please Ola! Tell us how the trollstory ends! We need to know!
They all died after eating the apples because they couldn’t properly digest fruit. Pretty damn sad actually.
They juiced the apples, fermented the juice and had a fun night swilling cider.
this isnt South Park this is real life
Musta Krakish..... Awaken!
@@davidwhitten4538 IA!
I would pay a lot of money for an album of Led Zeppelin covers by Ola, but only if he does the vocals, too.
Not my apples!!!
Ola would make a perfect character on Metalocalypse.
Or metal family haha
I was only a child when the trolls came down from the mountains and stole all the apples from our village, but I will never forget that day.
They stole my moms car… I guess our trolls were more ambitious.
Do you recall how many Trolls? Asking for a Troll Veteran who hates apples.
Ola told this tale with great ominous tone 🤘🏻
3:10 I need full version of this. just beautiful
would have liked to hear "Floods" with that patch
LOL, The Troll Song…. actually Pretty Cool @2:40
In parallel universe there is an Ola who is ridiculously rich just because of that funky auto-wah line
I can't see it 😆
Steve Wonder riff people .
2:16 that smile :DDDD
Next single, "Trolls Steal All Your Apples". preview at 2:36
I just bought this unit yesterday! What perfect timing!
The Boss GT units excel at 4 cable method and speed of patch switching. Fractal Audio still has no peer in terms of amp modeling, but for ease of use in 4CM no one beats "the Boss".
How does the amp modeling compare to the Fm3 or AX8. I’m thinking of getting this unit but I don’t want computery gain tone. High gain
@@rustyskies9718 The amp modeling in a BOSS GT unit is primitive sounding compared to Fractal.
3:09 - "Stay a while... and listen!"
Now THIS is something i thought i'd never see: Ola playing a Lenny Kravitz song
I have to say, this may be added to my pedal board for a trial in the near future. Thanks for such a badass demo Ola.
1:21 you managed to dodge copyright claim by an inch lmao
On a stolen riff. Man the only thing better than Zeppelin was their lawyers.
Official petition for the Troll Story song here! Lets get this thing made!!!
Can't wait for the Boss GT1000 Core - Wood
If I remember correctly nita uses the gt1000 for her solo shows, clinics, and when she plays like the national anthem at different sporting events
yes, saw it on PG's rig rundown..
Who is nita?
@@pbk977 Nita Strauss
@@pbk977 hottest blonde in metal
There should be an Troll Story song on your next solo album
3:44 an Ola can, that's a good soft drink

Stuff the pedal, I wanna hear how that troll story ends!!
I think they stole all the apples. The end.
They made cider and got drunk
This is a beast and look at the size ! Thank you Ola !!
Would love to see an updated version of the HX Stomp demo running direct and compare it to this unit.
2:10 YES ALWAYS ON THE RUN!! so underrated

He hummed over that Stairway riff for a reason.

1:20 right from the start!! here we go!!
Ola's tone and crunch is an eargasm for me🤘🤘🤘🤘
These sound really good. Boss has really outdone themselves with this line.
At least a real interesting test of this multi effect that shows the potential !! Great vid man :-)
2:40 Unky Ola reads books to the kiddys
Love the ola reviews. Probably pick this up.
Would like to see Boss make a Katana pedal, including the analog gain stage. Something about the GT 1000 amp modeling just isn't there for me.
Try plugging it into a power amp and real cab, even though it uses the same pre amp modeling the AIRD gives it a much tighter feel than a normal amp but a real cab gives it the “air” and push a real amp has
@@AdamManley7 any power amp recs?
@@GuitarGodsUniteI hear the Seymour Duncan powerstage is real light and powerful
I’m calling it: trolls thing was the funniest Ola content ever.
Man those overtones presets sound amazing from such a small box! Also the off-the-cuff troll song needs recording fully and releasing, just saying 👊🤘
Thanks Ola. Eagerly awaiting my Starzinger.

Oh God Ola that Lenny Kravitz song is also my go to funk jam 10 times out of 10
If I was a weekend bar band guitar player, I’d have one of these and a Fender Hot Rod. Simple setup.
That riff you played on the funky part would sound pretty goddamn tasty with one of your regular guitar tones

Please upload your profile and IRs. Your metal tone was amazing
he made and share one IR using his Hesu cab, very tight sounding.
You should find a link of it if you manage to find his video about IRs.
Bro I got to know what guitar that was you posted. That thing looks freaking bad ass.
I felt like you were channelling Link from Zelda with the troll story. Cool shirt!
nice pedal
Fuck yeah, it was about time!
Boss Gt-1000 products are so awesome!
Cheers from Portugal 🍺🤘🇵🇹
I can totally see myself using this $1000 unit with my $200 amp!
$1000? I'll sell you mine for $800.
The "OctoFuzz Lead" and "Funky Rythm" presets are awesome.
That little "Shred Lead' jam was pretty ripe. Tasty and nice ending.
