Boss GT-1000 Guitar Effects Processor

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.

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 color and gain. There’s an MDP bass compressor as well, plus chorus, flanger, touch wah, and many other effect types specially tuned for bass.

• Industry‑leading 32‑bit AD/DA, 32‑bit floating‑point processing, and 96 kHz sampling rate throughout
• Flagship amp/effects processor with uncompromising sound quality and unmatched expressiveness
• Highly expressive amplifiers, meticulously crafted with AIRD technology
• Massive selection of onboard BOSS effects, including MDP effects and the latest algorithms
• Dedicated mode for bass guitar applications
• USB audio/MIDI interface for computer‑based recording and editing
• 16 locations for loading WAV‑format speaker impulse responses (IRs)

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.

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 favorite speaker cab IRs.

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, X‑Optima, and more.
