BOSS's Top-tier Multi-effects Unit

Not only is the GT-1000 BOSS's most powerful multi-effects unit, but it is one of the most powerful multi-effects and modeling units in the world. You'll find a bevy of fantastic-sounding amplifier and effects models onboard. But it's the GT-1000's 32-bit/96kHz processing that injects each model with a realistic feel that needs to be experienced to be believed. A quick glance at the pedal's rear panel reveals effects loops, MIDI, external control, and much more. Add all of that to the BOSS GT-1000's USB connection for deep editing and direct recording, and you have an all-in-one tonal solution that is equally adept for live, home, or studio use.

Better sounding, better feeling models

BOSS is definitely upping their game with the GT-1000 multi-effects unit. For the technically inclined among you, this effects powerhouse boasts 32-bit AD/DA and 32-bit/96kHz internal processing, Roland's acclaimed Tube Logic technology, Augmented Impulse Response Dynamics (AIRD) technology, and BOSS's Multi-dimensional processing. That's a lot of firepower driving the tone and feel of each and every amplifier, cabinet impulse response, and effects model onboard. The GT-1000 sounds and feels like the real thing.

Computer-based recording and editing

The BOSS GT-1000 is generating quite a bit of buzz around Sweetwater for its ability to be as comfortable in the studio as it is in a live environment. That's in large part due to its USB connectivity. Hook the GT-1000 to your computer and you open up a world of direct recording and deep tonal editing that unleashes the unit's full potential. Becoming a high-quality audio interface, you're able to lay down your best tones quickly and effortlessly.

Powerful rig control

With how easy it is to use, you'll be astounded how much control the GT-1000 gives you over your entire rig. Place the board on the floor, and it's a streamlined replacement for your current pedalboard. Its dual effects loops allow you to continue getting the most from your favorite effects pedals as well. The GT-1000's control and expression outputs will manipulate amp channels, tempos, and much more. MIDI switching integrates into your more involved rig. Or send your tone straight to the house for an all-in-one rig replacement.

Not just for guitar

The GT-1000 isn't just a powerful tool for guitarists, as bassists can make it the centerpiece of their rig, as well. Among the bass-specific features are a trio of AIRD preamps, with Natural Bass, X-Drive Bass, and SVT Bass, which give you the ability to shape the sound to your preferred genres. Also onboard are 16 bass-specific effects, including the MDP compressor to keep things nice and even, bass overdrive and distortions for gritting up your tone, a bass touch wah, a bass flanger, and more.
