It’s Canari cable I’ve had forever. On the new Boss board, I needed lower profile straight connectors for them to fit, so I ordered some online and had a local guy replace the regular size ones.

Boss GT 1000Core

Just in case it can be helpful to any user, if you want to listen your music while practicing
how??
There are two controller inputs, CTRL 2/3 and CTRL 4/5 (CTRL 1 is the switch on Core itself). Each can have connected two footswitches (with a TRS cable) or an expression pedal. So 4 footswitches or 2 expression pedals or 1 expression pedal + 2 footswitches.

Edit: I did not understand the first part of your post..
Sorry for the first part of my post, I was trying to say something about using the return as an aux in but I forgot to delete it.
Yeah make sense about the footswitches. I was thinking to connect more than one boss fs7 in one input....but of course wont' be possible. One fs7 and one expression pedals or 2 fs7 or 2 expression pedals i guess.
Or an FS6. I have one for sale with the adapter so you can power it with a power supply if anyone is interested.

Thanks mate, I was thinking more along the lines of 2 fs7 and an exp pedal. But I don't think that's possible
The Pitch-Shift effect is selectable in the FX1, FX2 and FX3 blocks. So you can use 3 simultaneous, except of course if you are already using other effects with these blocks!

There's also a pitch effect in the Pedal-FX block.
I do not know about the quality of these effects...

Tip for pitch shifting and octave effects is to roll off highs. Less information to process, tracks a bit better.
ahhhhh this explains a lot, I was doing it the other way round and wondering why it always sounded terrible
Is there any downside to using the core as an audio interface for just guitar/bass. Was just trying to weigh up selling my little focusrite scarlet as it doesn’t really make sense keeping it about. I’m not recording any vocals or anything.
I’ve been recording via the GTCore’s USB interface, but I’ve come across some latency issues with the pitch shifting effect, (?maybe other effects). I didn’t have this when recording through my Focusrite Clarett 2pre. But what I do love is the GTCore’s reamping feature. So what going to do is setup an aggregate device in Logic Pro so I can use the GTCore and the Focusrite interface at the same time. Recording through the Focusrite just sounds better to my ears. I think the AD/DA converter is probably better.

Interesting, I was kind of thinking along the same lines. The Clarett pre is much nicer than the Scarlet but I think that I'll give it a shot before getting rid to see if I can tell the difference. The v1 Scarlet 2i2 isn't really worth much so if there is a quality improvement (even if subtle) it'd be enough to hold on to it. I'll have to try and get some side by side recordings.
If you’re just recording demos then the GTCore would be good enough IMO. My recording situation has changed and I’m planning to start an indie record label. I’ve been training myself as a composer/producer. My plan is to replace the Clarett 2pre with something much better. So I’ll setup an aggregate device and record the dry signal through the new interface also tracking effected tones from the GTCore. Depending on what sort interface I get, I what to record a tube DI, and mic and record my bass amp also. So the end result I’ll have a track for the tube DI, amp, and the reamped GTCore. I should be able to reamp the tube DI and amp as well. Might seem a bit over kill but I want bass tones that cover a wider possibility at a reasonably high quality. My primary instrument is bass so why not.
That makes sense. Yeah for me I think the GTCore is more than sufficient although I'll give it a compare and see if there's any benefit for me. The only thing that really stands out to me is that I do sometimes get a little buzzing when I have the GTCore connected via USB, if I get a cleaner signal using the Scarlet then thats a pretty big advantage, especially when I'm using drives.
For people using external pedals, particularly preamps and drives, what settings do you use for the send/return? Do you use the default 100 level or do you lower it? I tend to find the level is waaaay to hot.
