Unparalleled Sound Quality
The GT-1000 brings you no-compromise audio performance backed by the latest BOSS technologies. It’s the first-ever guitar multi-effects unit with 32-bit AD/DA, 32-bit floating-point processing, and 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’re after without endless parameter tweaks and microscopic EQ adjustments.
AIRD: A Revolution in Digital Amp Processing
The GT-1000 harnesses BOSS’s breakthrough AIRD technology for a new level of performance, flexibility, and usability, offering consistent and reliable response in every playing scenario. Your sounds flow smoothly into any creative setup, providing great tone and natural tube amp feel with minimal adjustments. A large selection of AIRD Output Select types tailor the sound for any destination, whether it’s a guitar amp input, a power amp driving guitar speakers, or a full-range monitoring system—or all of them at once. AIRD is fully integrated into the GT-1000 amps at every level, so you’ll always experience their authentic sound and response, no matter what you’re plugged into.
Highly Musical Guitar Amplifiers, Crafted with AIRD
The GT-1000 features a wide range of BOSS original amplifiers suitable for all guitar styles, from super-clean to ultra-heavy. Several amp types employ MDP (Multi-Dimensional Processing) technology for dynamic, nuanced tone that reaches beyond the capabilities of analog designs. Classic tube amps throughout history are also included, from coveted vintage combos to modern high-gain heads. Two amps can be used at once in a single patch, allowing you to switch between two sounds, blend amps for complex tones, or achieve big, expansive sound in stereo setups.
Extraordinary Effects
The GT-1000 comes loaded with all types of effects, from BOSS classics and retro stompboxes to modern effects driven by MDP and other advanced technologies. 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 effects 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. A variety of AIRD bass preamps are on hand for shaping your core tone, while eight different overdrive/distortion effects are available for additional colour and gain. There’s an MDP bass compressor as well, plus chorus, flanger, touch wah, and many other effect types specially tuned for bass.
Intensive Performance Control
With its ten footswitches and expression pedal with toe switch, the GT-1000 provides comprehensive creative control wherever you play. And you can go even deeper with external switches, pedals, MIDI, and USB. The onboard controls come with default assignments for preset selection and per-patch control targets, but you can easily reassign them to operate nearly any function. Manual and Pedalboard modes are also available to instantly reconfigure the footswitches for additional control in the heat of the moment.
Powerful Recording and Editing Tools
The GT-1000 features a multi-channel USB audio/MIDI interface for flexible computer recording and efficient re-amping. Edit sounds remotely with the BOSS Tone Studio app, either via USB on a computer or wirelessly from your mobile device. And use the dedicated IR loader software to expand your tone options with 16 of your favourite speaker cab IRs.
GT-1000 Version 4.0: New X Amps and More
The Version 4.0 update brings even more creative features to the GT-1000 platform, including three newly developed high-gain guitar amp types that spotlight the continuing evolution of our advanced AIRD and MDP technologies:
X-Ultra—Inspired by a classic British stack amp modified with a modern multi-stage gain circuit. MDP provides intelligent control of the clipping in each gain stage, realizing extended dynamic response that’s not possible with traditional analog designs.
X-Optima—With many high-gain tube amplifiers, it can be difficult to strike the ideal tonal balance between chords and single notes. X-Optima features an innovative new gain algorithm that takes full advantage of MDP’s adaptive frequency shaping, providing well-defined rhythm sounds and rich lead tones that sit perfectly in every mix.
X-Titan—This articulate amp type is perfect for aggressive metal styles driven by heavy riffs. MDP delivers sharp, tight sounds on the low strings while retaining fatness and body in the high ranges, making it well-suited for down tunings and extended-range guitars with seven or eight strings.
The update also includes six new bass preamps, two new drive effects, and more.
