BOSS GX-100

And colour touch screen. Might be more effects too, as I saw a preset in one of the demos say "Dimension" and the GT1000 didn't have a DC-2. The manuals don't seem to be available yet though, so can't check out all the effects.
It is cheaper than the GT 1000 Core though, so there must be some features cut.
Their ad seems a little off imo. The Headrush Gigboard already had a touchscreen and a very good one at that. Still, seems like a very capable unit.
I saw this on an Ad from PMT in my email inbox this morning and I though "Derek Williams will be all over this!"
It'll look good on your board Sir!
Not quite sure your point, should Boss not use a colour touchscreen? I've found the previous monochrome interface of the GT 1000 to work great and easy to use, but it's good to see them finally moving forward and I think it's a big deal for Boss and worth advertising. I hope all their future devices also continue with colour screens.
I've actually switched over to a Quad CortexI saw this on an Ad from PMT in my email inbox this morning and I though "Derek Williams will be all over this!"
But yeah, depending on what effects it has, this thing looks great. It isn't for me anymore, but I was very happy with my GT 1000 Core when I had it.Bass Effects List. There’s a couple of effects that are different from the GT 1000/Core

The difference with the effects use on this,
unlike the GT-1000 where you have a set layout/menu of effects,
the GX-100 allows multiple instances of the same effect.
You start with a blank pallet and drag in the effects you want, if you want 9 delays in a row, sure.
There are maximum limitations of 2 Amps, 1 Send loop, 1 looper, 1 Master, 9 instances of the same effect.
but you can keep adding up to 15 effects/blocks.

It's also 48khz vs 96khz in the GT-1000, which could affect quality when using many effects, but I've never really looked into any kind of comparison. And only a single effects loop. I think for the price point this looks to be a great multi effects, but the GT-1000 Core would still be better to integrate into a pedalboard (not to mention smaller size). The GX-1000 is probably going to be pretty sweet though
Yeah, looks like it's dynamic DSP allocation. This is cheaper than the Core, and has more switches, so I wonder where they've cut costs. Looks like it's a 24bit/48kHz unit (EDIT: 32bit FP processing though, thanks for the correction), maybe a way to save processing power?

Still does the 32 bit floating point DSP, just the A/D D/A is 24 bit,
but I have never really been able to hear the difference between 24 and 32 bit audio.
I think for its price and size, a very attractive and great value package.

That’s what I was thinking. Boss’s next flagship mfx will be Neural DSP inspired I think, particularly a large touch screen.

If you don’t adjust all your pedals with your feet what are you even doing?
I wish they would have included more bass specific amp sims. Boss used to have very usable sims of Trace Elliot, SWR and even more recently GK on the GT1b.
Bummer. Well you can't make everyone happy can you?
Stay healthy all
