Boss GT 1000Core

the touch on the GX tells me they're going that direction. Also many considered it a con since other brands offered color and touch.

Well, it's what the market seems to want. Helix 2.0 will most likely have a large touch screen too.

That said, touch screens have been a standard fare on workstation synthesizers for 20 years or so, and they're fine for navigation, but they're not a replacement for knobs and sliders once you start adjusting parameters.

The market also seems to want faithful models of 200 different real-world amps and effects, which is another thing Boss doesn't offer, and I hope Boss keeps doing its own thing. Personally, I auditioned the GT-1000CORE for a couple days and ditched all my Line6 stuff for a backup unit. The Helix sounds like a bunch of amps and pedals with their own quirks, while the GT-1000 sounds like proper studio gear (not everyone likes the Boss house sound, though).

And here I am still holding out in vain for an updated, bass-specific version of the Boss ME-80 :laugh:.

NAMM 2022 baby, this is the year it finally happens... :rolleyes:

Being the curious cat that I am, and had two pedals sell in under 12hrs I'm gonna go grab the GX 100. I figure with a trade in plus discount and another $80 in rewards bucks if I sell later I'll be around break even point.

Unfortunately the closest GC is 70 miles away.

I'll be interested what you think of it.
I want one MFX unit to do guitar and bass and that was the one my gut said to get but there's almost nothing review wise I've seen for bass.

Well... no gx100.

I goofed up and went east 80 miles to Macon GA when I should have gone 80 miles west to Montgomery AL... on the bright side it was gorgeous weather for a bike ride.

also caught this neat little guy while inside GC

Pity. Still, if you go the other way next time I'm interested, but in no hurry, as I don't need it. The Zoom B3n does fine for the bass in the interim, I just have nothing for guitar FX.

Nice ride. I'll soon be back at my home where there are lot, and lots and lots of unpatrolled roads through the mountains and foothills to ride in. The nearest city is 2.5hr on the freeways, but I've taken 3x that before by taking smaller backroads the whole way.

Personally I've given up on modern sportsbikes and am looking at getting an 80s-90s GSXR (or Honda VFR750) to restore/modify (slightly). Not the best handler, but good enough and the flexy chassis is very forgiving.

Thanx Correlli for your upload - this is what makes this thread useful to me. As I had mentioned I got inspired by a book - pedal crush - I bought a while ago. Tbh I´m not experienced at all when it comes to fx and patches but wanted to give it a try. Also I have to admit I cannot be bothered to take screenshots and upload them here. Instead I uploaded the pedal crush collection for intential check. after download you ought to rename the file into .tsl before loading into tone studio. Also when I set them up I was using 4cm which I skipped in the meantime. This is not the latest rendition as by now I got familiar with the mastering fx.

Well, just spent about 10 minutes and was able to whip up a full chain with various effects set as stomp boxes to each button. As well as dialed in some settings for each. This UI is WAY FASTER. Still has 16 cab sim slots and the basic bass amps and pre amps. Which don't matter to me since I use the loop with my favorite preamps as the first block.

I changed the file extension to .tsl and tried importing it into Tone Studio but it wouldn’t except it. Might be better to have the original file.

Thanks for your feedback. The reason I swopped the extension in the first place was as you are not allowed to upload .tsl files. Will have to have a closer look how to overcome this.
Also in case you are in the facebook group - I uploaded there as well. As it´s obviously an gt core group you are allowed to upload tsl. files there.

Dropbox Basic is a good way to share files.

Ok, watched a ton of videos and spent all night with this Bad Larry.
BLUF. It KICKS BUTT. What a great unit and at 599 is extremely competitive. The touch UI and the 15 free blocks to put anything anywhere is exactly what many of us wished from the GTK/CORE and it's as useful as we thought it would be.

I will be returning it next weekend when. I goto Atlanta though. I really just wanted to see what they accomplished with the touch screen. What I'm going to wait for is a Core sized unit with touch screen. One frustrating thing I discovered is the 1-4 buttons even when assigned to act as stomps unless I'm in one specific screen they revert back to thier original function. For example I had 1 set as compressor 2 octave 3 fuzz and 4 chorus. The 2 button would turn on octave but 1,3,4 would switch to patch 1,3,4 in that bank.

Watching the Boss Talk episode revealed that the GT1K is atill the flagship and has another big update soon and that the processing for the GX100 was scaled back to aid in the touch UI. Not a bad thing.

I've seen a few comments on the lack of XLR outputs on the GT1KCore. Here's a simple workaround courtesy of Nita Strauss.

The outputs are unbalanced, so very long cable runs are out of question even if you use an adapter. I never use the XLR outs in effect units anyway as there is no transformer to provide galvanic isolation. A good passive DI blocks DC, isolates source and destination grounds, and can save your butt in case of a serious fault in whatever random club PA system you're plugged into.

Added the Bluetooth to the GX and its not what I had hoped for. I guess you can edit on the phone then try to send the edited patch to the unit. I was hoping to real time control it.

Do you mean the phone editor doesn't change the parameter on the device like the PC editor does? That doesn't sound right. Are you sure you're connected to the device, as at least the PC editor offers an offline mode when no compatible device is found.
