BOSS Gt-1000 Guitar Effects Processor, Uncompromising Sound Quality, Ad/Da,Floating-Point Processing, And 96 Khz Sampling Rate Throughout,Black,32-Bit

Product Information

related to the above, most time values (rate, delay time etc) can be set for Sub divisions of your tap BPM by scrolling all the way up past its max value. I feel that the pedal should have a proper 'Stompbox Mode' option which disables all the AIRD Preamp assignments in one move. I created a template patch which I use when building a new one, and in that patch I took one of the dividers, threw all the unused blocks into it and then bypassed them, leaving just the ones I want at the front.

I much prefer the way Line 6 and Fractal let you access the core library of effects across their range, minus a parameter here and there. The Helix effects have more variety and character, and you can do more for combinations of effects and obviously switching.It’s worth remembering that the signal path through the GT‑1000 is stereo, so you’ll need to be careful where you place any mono effects in the chain if you want to maintain the effects of any stereo processing. A bit more basic efx, and no modeling/IRs (my reason for selling it)…but it’s a great unit together with analog gear. There’s an MDP bass compressor too, plus chorus, flanger, touch wah, and many other effects specially tuned for bass. Offering a complete sound processing solution in an ultra-portable package, GT-1000CORE lets you travel light and tackle any professional playing situation with no additional pedals.

The CORE though does not have fully equivalency with the DD-500 or RV-500 (in fact not really fully the MD-500 either as the CORE is missing some of those algorithms) and it only has one Master Delay Block, and one Reverb Block. As a Digital Pedal this needs some significant tuning to render close to Analog levels of core texture, and there are certainly some aspects of this pedal that could be significantly improved.Editing the patch amp/effect configuration is accessed via the Effect button, which brings up a graphic of the chain of pedals, amplifier and cabs. I also liked the big footswitches as well as the built-in expression pedal, which I miss on my FM9, but not enough to get an external pedal.

I still need to try the core - the GT-1000 certainly has it's quirks as well as some absolutely "wtf were they thinking? The Software / Firmware here is rather in is infancy in most ways, and does not have the sophistication of modern consumer computing devices - I expect this will come eventually, but for now it's all a little manual and clunky really comparatively. I feel the lack of Bluetooth is a big miss here as that would have made everything about controlling this pedal so much easier - in particular all the myriad forthcoming firmware updates that will inevitably happen. I had hoped/expected this to replace each of the 500 series boxes, but it doesn't really - as you can only actually deploy a single Reverb Block, and all the Delays are not really full-fat DD-500 variants either as only the Master Delay Block allows you to select the different character delays - the DL1-DL4 varieties are rather more simplified versions of a standard delay. A number of amp types employ Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP) technology for dynamic, nuanced tone that reaches beyond the capabilities of analog designs.

I must start by stating that I came into this project with somewhat lofty expectations, and there was some degree of naivety to my beliefs as to what was contained within this pedal, and more importantly exactly how it would work at its core - and in specific within my own setup. The EFFECTS GRID is pretty straight forward once you figure that out - the difficulty is really remembering all the places you need to navigate, and the sequence thereof - to affect some of the more incidental settings. One of my earliest Patch Projects was to set up an Eddie Van Halen style patch - using the CE-1 Chorus, Flanger, and Script Phaser (FX1-FX3], as well as the Guv'nor / GUV DS Distortion voicing as the main flavour of drive. Please give us the reason for your assessment in the following text box and – if possible – your e-mail address for further questions. The amp modelling seems really very good although I still need to work on the lighter drive sounds that these units often fall down on.
