Boss GT 1000Core

[MrDinsdale]

It sounds like a Boss ev-1 or Mission expression pedal is what I need, if only I could find one for 1/4 of the price

@MrDinsdale : Is it possible to wire-connect an Android-phone the Core and use ToneSudio ? The manual only mentions connecting to a computer. (Total 'connectivity-noob' here, I do edits on the Core, I have no Windows or Mac computer)

 

[Les Fret]

Gotta say I love being able to pop up tone studio on my phone or iPad so I’m not switching between it and logic when I’m trying to record etc.

It’s not the cleanest setup but the WIDI Jack hides away nicely underneath, I’ve got all the cables to do custom runs once I’m happy too.

Where did you get those big knobs for the Core?

I don’t think so I’m afraid

I just got some online, just searched pedal toppers

How could a toe-switch change the assignment from the pedal from an expression assignment to a volume assignment. I don't think the target of an assignment can be changed with any command ?

Couldn’t you have the expression pedal set to control volume and the wah for example but have the toe switch toggle which was enabled/disabled?

 

[BEADist]

Ah yes, a source can have multiple targets but I don't see how these assignments could be enabled/diabled.

You wouldn’t change any assignments, only enable/disable the volume/fx expression blocks.

I’ve never actually tried hooking up an expression pedal though so might be missing something!

There’s a setting where heel down turns on tuner and mutes signal.

 

[BEADist]

I have been looking for a way to disable the 'foot-volume'-block. It cannot be done I think.You can set the 'foot-volume-minimal' to 100 though. Or, as a work around do not use the foot-vol block but instead use a fx block like 'distortion' and use the volume parameter as a volume controller.

ok thanks. How do you know if they fit on the Core? Or is it one size fits all?

 

[BEADist]

This is an assign setting :

Source : Expression pedal (or foot vol)
Target : tuner
Min : ON
Max : OFF
Mode : momentary
Action Low : 0
Action High : 1

I don’t believe this can be done. The work around would.

ahhh that makes more sense. Yeah I guess setting min volume to 100 would be the equivalent of disabling the block, certainly enough for my needs.

It looks like doing this would also kill the ability to have an external midi controller along with the widi box.

I’d assume you’d just daisy chain another device in and it’d just pass that signal on?

I am not 100% certain, but this device works on a lot of other Boss devices directly into the USB port for Bluetooth connectivity to the Android or iPhone/iPad apps "Boss Tone Studio for GT-1000"
and would leave the GT-1000 Core midi ports free for other things.
