Thank you for this vidiea! I created the patch Stomp box as you did, but i don't get any output to my Spark 40. Other patches working well. What I'm doing wrong?
when do you go to another patch do the assignments for the up and down button change back to normal?
Do you have separate videos for specific artist tones? (Ive watched multiple videos over the years having this pedal and you are 100% one of the most helpful)
Very helpful,
Thanks! This was exactly, what I needed to use my GT1 as a boost and a compressor.
I just played my first gig on my GT1 and I wish I knew this a week ago!
Thanks very much ????
Dang, i didn't know you could do this, good to know ????. Now in case I don't want to carry the helix around I can use the gt 1 for smaller gigs but I still want to control individual effects
I've had my gt-1 since 2017 and I'm still learning new things about it. It used to be my all-in-one system when I was moving all over the place in the military, and now it still stands as a great effects board for an already established setup given how much it can do if you tweak enough settings to get it to do what you want it to do. This video has been so helpful giving me that info
Very well explained, personal glimpses
Thank you ❤????????✨ you saved me and made me less anxious
I’m very late to your channel and have been interested in this pedal. I just can’t see spending lots of money on newer tech such as hx stomp etc. I have wondered about the used GT100. What is your experience with the larger pedal boards. Great stuff
Muito bom, puta que pariu. Já sabia que a qualidade sonora dessa pedaleira era boa, mas essas configurações, nossa… A Boss tirou muita onda. Parabéns pela vídeo, puta ideia. Me fez querer investir numa dessa.
tip – if using non boss external footswitch it has to be of normal closed type – (NC) – or else it will wind up or down after being pressed
Great vid, is there an easy way to bypass the whole GT-1 as well?
Great video Gary! Can you assign the CTL1 button to be boost and delay in the one button? Also, tremolo and chorus in one button?
This is really useful. Thanks. I wonder why digital chains go the right and physical ones to the left. Also, any hints on how to avoid volume variations when switching patches when playing live?
Brilliant video, I now have a stomp box setup and it definitely seems a more intuitive way to use the GT-1 than the normal way i.e. having two switches set to bank increase/decrease. I wonder though, how do you get the GT-1 to sound good without enabling any effects? I use a Roland JC-22 with a vintage Tiesco Audition amp via FX Loop Out/Instrument In and I want to use that combo as my clean tone as it's superb as it is, but no matter how I try to preserve it, it just doesn't sound as good when going through through the GT-1 as it does when going straight into the front of my JC-22. Fwiw, the Audition is an old amp that was made between 1970-73 and voiced to the amp sounds of the day, probably why it sounds so good. You can see it here in this video by Dave Simpson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UInkjbRKKR8
I hope this makes sense. The wee Audition amp, which I picked up in a charity shop here in Glasgow, has transformed my guitar playing experience completely and now, as a two-amp combo, none of the clean tones on the GT-1 sounds anywhere near as good. But the problem is, I would like to use my GT-1 to add a bit of OD and delay, depending on what I'm playing without decimating the JC-22+Audition combo.. I'd really appreciate your help on this, cheers, DJ
EDIT: I guess I also mean using effects as well. Anything that will preserve the combined sound of my two-amp combo.
A lot of these can be done WAYYY easier with the Boss Tone Studio on your PC. Saves a lot of time too.
I love my Boss GT 1 but I have soooo much to learn still about it! Thanks!!
Right now my it says my pedel is off how do I turn it on
Great video. Thank you!
VERY HELPFUL
I cant figure out how to change patches from external footswitch. How did you do that?
Does setting it up like this affect the controls for looping?
Gary – thanks a million, your videos are the most useful and helpful I've found. I bought the GT-1 several years ago, couldn't make it do what I wanted, and put it aside and let it gather dust. Now, with your help, it has replaced my pedalboard – smaller, lighter, simpler, more options. Well done.
Received my GT-1 – what an awesome device. Very similar to my GP-10 (without the synth of course)
The footswitch mode described here by Gary works a treat. Only thing to note is there does not appear to be a way to use the Assign feature on the up/down pedals. This is a shame, as on the GP-10 I could assign multiple things to one footswitch. E.g. Overdrive + Delay.
On the GT-1 The Up/Down pedals can be assigned to just a single function – e.g. Overdrive only, with no other Assigns (unless I'm missing something). Shame.
It still works for me. I’m happy. But thought I’d mention it.
Hello Gary, thanks for the video! Do you think this is possible with a Moore ge 150?
ok, I have added all the functionality here. Thanks bro. Is there an easy way to match the outputs per patch, so that there is not a drastic volume boost/loss in the patches during the changes, that I am using, currently 5 patches.
Good Morning again. Thanks for your replies to my crazy ideas. I have another q for you. I love my Gt1. I use a program called stagetraxx 3 for my backing tracks, and guitar on stage. My next project is to understand how to control the gt1 using stagetraxx 3 and I know thats a different thing, but I wanted to see if it can be controlled via midi for this purpose. So im hearing I can have stagetraxx 3 change soundbanks without using a foot controller. It would be so cool if it could just change the patches, like from clean to distortion, without having to stomp on switches all the time. Think I can do that with the gt1?
Thanks for the video… explain a lot.. ????????
Sorry if you've already answered this, but can I use the effects already on the unit in stomp box mode? Example: would I be able to put Metal Dragon on the down button and Natural Clean on the up?
how do you "just plug it in" without an amp, considering there is no built-in DI box?
I think as well if you go into the boss tone studio software while its connected to your pc and set the preferences for the buttons to 'system' instead of 'patch' then the buttons will always work as you've mapped them & you wont have to copy the patches, but i can see the benefit of copying them as well.
Amazingly helpful, thanks very much Garry.
I still use my GT-1 every time I play. AND it is dirt cheap so if a drunk pukes/spills bear on it, I can get another cheap. It also has stupid low latency for use with S-Gear on my computer. Thanks for the videos Sir and Best Regards and Best Wishes!
Is there an English translation for Americans?
Op obviously doesn’t respond to his own channel.
