Boss GX-10

It is however also almost double the price.

still under a grand and in my price range with a massive feature set compared to the GX.

if they come out with a "core" or "stomp" version without a pedal, i'll jump on it.

or if Boss releases a GT-1000 successor with XLR balanced out.

the industry is getting close!

holding out for NAMM 2025! See y'all there!

Been quite happy with my Boss GT-1B, but it's reaching its end (switches patches on its own, engages tuner for no reason, adjusts levels) so it's time for an upgrade.

Slightly annoying that the GX-10 doesn't have an XLR out, but I do like how it has an FX loop so I can set up a 4-cable system with my TwoNotes ReVolt Bass. It's compact and has everything I need.

Been considering going for the GT1000 Core or HX Stomp but I think those might both be overkill for my needs. I don't use a ton of effects, really, just a few.

Mmm I was looking for the gx100 but the gx10 is just the same but with less footswitches. Also no freeze or synths available either. It seems that the ME90b has more effects in general, more footswitches but the downsides are that they have less tweakable parameters for each fx, you can't change the order of your fx chain, no extra input for EXP/CTL pedal and the extra fx are only accessable with phone or pc.

At this point I'm slightly in favor for the me90b, even with its workarounds (i also liked the looping function) but I'm getting lost with so many options available right now...

I've been reviewing the BOSS GX-10 for Bass Gear Magazine over the past 3 weeks, and I have to say it's a super fun, great sounding pedal. While the full review hasn't been published yet (but watch for it within the next couple weeks), here's a nice video demo I made of the Overtone octave up sound with some other processing:

Hi Combinator,

Do you know when the review will be posted on Bass Gear Magazine? Currently there is a Black Friday sale for the GX-10, so I doubt whether to buy the GX-10 or not. Your review would help :)

I feel that! Unfortunately that's an editorial decision and I'm not aware of when that will go live. I'll mention the sale to the editor though!

The review on BassGearMag is out ! Feels like a no brainer to buy the Gx-10 👍

Great review, especially to showcase the range of effect options and the use of the interface. Maybe I’m an outlier, but I’m more curious as to its use as a complete rig replacement. Hearing how it’s amp simulations and IR patches stack up against other competition would be very relevant. I don’t think anyone doubts these Boss units for effects excellence but the bread and butter stuff is where it needs to prove itself.

As someone who is planning to buy a Stomp, I'd love to see a comparison video sometime.

I'm also intrigued. I've been amp less using a Stomp as my main (and only) stage/practice rig since Sept 2019 and it's definitely held up and done the job with aplomb and I still don't use but a small percentage of what it can do. Since I've had this one for awhile I've thought of buying a second one as a backup and have unsuccessfully bid on a couple used I've seen locally but they wanted more for them than I was prepared to pay for a "used" unit. If they ever come back down to $500 m/l (post-Christmas sale perhaps??)... So the GX-10 looks like it would not only make a great backup but could indeed make a great switch hitter option/replacement for the Stomp. An "unbiased" comparison video by someone fully familiar with both would be hugely helpful to get me to pull the trigger.

Isnt everything new returnable these days ?
I just don’t understand why everybody needs these in-depth reviews for them to decide on purchasing something when they could just try it for themselves and return it if they don’t like it. it’s super low risk in my opinion.

Really, boss has provided bread and butter effects for many musicians for decades… they have nothing to prove in that department whatsoever

Mine came in today and it is meant mainly as an emergency replacement in case my GT-1000 stops working.
It‘s got most of the same effects and amps aboard - with some restrictions.
E.G. there is only one divider for a parallel signal path (not three as in the GT-1000).
So far, I like it and my first attempts to recreate my bread&butter sounds are quite promising.

So today I tried to replicate some of the more complex sounds from my GT-1000 in the GX-10.
This is some kind of bi-amping stuff like the Tech 21 Geddy und dUg pedals which both I own and recreated the sounds in my GT-1000.
Not exact clones, but sounds I can use in my bands and which work well there.

They both involve parallel signal paths with the X-Bass Compressor and EQ on the bass side as well as different amps and EQs on the treble side.
And the good news for me: With the same settings, both units sound the same.

I still like it :)
