BOSS GT-1000 Guitar Multi-Effects Processor with Highly Musical Guitar Amplifiers
Delivering unmatched sound quality and musical expression, the BOSS GT-1000 Guitar Multi-Effects Processor ushers in a new era of performance in amps and effects processors for guitar and bass. This premium tone machine debuts our groundbreaking AIRD (Augmented Impulse Response Dynamics) technology, realized with decades of BOSS research and class-leading 32-bit/96 kHz processing. There is also a huge range of BOSS effects, complete with ultra-flexible routing options and deep real-time control. And with built-in Bluetooth, you can tweak settings wirelessly from your mobile device via a dedicated app. Packing immense power in a streamlined pro design, the GT-1000 is a game changer that brings new levels of creative expression to players everywhere.
Designed for Unparalleled Sound Quality
The GT-1000 brings you no-compromise audio performance backed by the latest BOSS technologies. It is the first-ever guitar multi-effects unit with 32-bit AD/DA, 32-bit floating-point processing, and a 96 kHz sampling rate throughout, while the custom DSP engine packs over three times the power of previous generations. This immense processing muscle unlocks far greater sonic detail than ever before possible, making it easy to get the sounds you are after without endless parameter tweaks and microscopic EQ adjustments.
AIRD: A Revolution in Digital Amp Processing
At its core, the GT-1000 harnesses BOSS’s breakthrough AIRD technology for previously unattained musical power. Based on the comprehensive Tube Logic concept behind the renowned Katana, Waza, Nextone, and Blues Cube amplifiers, AIRD takes the amp processor to a new level of performance, flexibility, and practical usability. The tube amplifiers that guitarists love are interactive, highly expressive musical instruments that are far more than the sum of their individual components. The Tube Logic design philosophy fully realizes this interactive experience, and it has been hugely successful in the self-contained guitar amps where it has been employed. However, bringing this approach to a guitar processor like the GT-1000 introduces many challenges, because players will use it with a variety of external amplification systems that add their own characteristics to the sound. BOSS developed AIRD to address these challenges, employing sophisticated techniques to ensure that the GT-1000’s groundbreaking musical response can be consistently experienced with any rig.
Highly Musical Guitar Amplifiers, Crafted with AIRD
The GT-1000 is loaded with immensely expressive guitar amplifiers, all meticulously crafted with AIRD. In contrast to traditional modeling methods, AIRD reproduces the complex internal component interactions of tube amps in every way, from guitar input to speaker output and everything in between. The result is a complete interactive system that is a living, breathing instrument, just like your favorite high-end tube amp.
A key focus of AIRD is the reactive amp/speaker relationship, which is essential to the dynamic feel and musical responsiveness of tube amplifiers. This vital relationship is fully brought to life with the GT-1000’s amps, producing guitar tones that are alive with punch, presence, and depth. Thanks to AIRD, your sound always feels great under your fingers and sits in the mix properly, delivering a truly organic musical experience that has never been available from a digital guitar processor until now. The GT-1000 features a wide range of BOSS original amplifiers suitable for all guitar styles, from super-clean to ultra-heavy. A number of amp types employ Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP) technology for a dynamic, nuanced tone that reaches beyond the capabilities of analog designs. Classic tube amps throughout history are included as well, from coveted vintage combos to modern high-gain heads. Two amps can be used at once in a single patch, so you are able to switch between two sounds, blend amps for complex tones, or achieve a big, expansive sound in stereo setups.
Optimized Performance for Every Playing Application
AIRD enables the GT-1000 to flow smoothly into any setup with minimal adjustments. By choosing from the large selection of onboard AIRD Output Select types, you can perfectly tailor the GT-1000 for any destination, whether it is a guitar amp input, an amp effects return, an FRFR monitoring system, or a house PA. In addition to the onboard options, there are two user locations for loading more types with the GT-1000 AIRD Output Select Library software. AIRD is integrated into the GT-1000’s amplifiers at every level, so you will always experience their authentic sound and interactive response with any setup. Going further, you can apply different AIRD Output Select settings to the main and sub-outputs to optimize the sound for two destinations at once. Independent ground-lift functions are also available to tackle hum issues when connecting external devices.
Extraordinary Effects
The GT-1000 comes loaded with all types of effects, from BOSS classics and retro stompboxes to modern MDP effects and advanced algorithms from the BOSS 500 series. Multiple series and parallel routings are easy to set up via the intuitive interface. And with the clever Stompbox feature, you can adjust commonly used amp and effect settings across multiple patches at once. There are also two effects loops for patching in your favorite external effects and preamps.
Bass Multi-Effects Flagship
The GT-1000 takes bass processing to new heights with next-generation sound quality and ultra-flexible performance features. Three AIRD bass preamps are provided for shaping your core tone, while eight different overdrive and distortion effects are available for additional color and gain. There is an MDP bass compressor as well, plus chorus, flanger, touch wah, and many other effect types specially tuned for bass.
