Description
The BOSS GT-1000 is a multi-effects processor for electric guitarists. The unit employs AIRD processing, which stands for Augmented Impulse Response Dynamics. Operating at 32-bit floating point, and at sample rates of 96 kHz, the GT-1000 uses this AIRD processing to bring you musically responsive and dynamic amplifier emulations, all of which interact with whatever system comes next in your chain, be it an amplifier, a DAW, a house PA, or various combinations thereof.The GT-1000 also brings 116 BOSS effects to the table and if you find yourself missing any BOSS sound provided, chances are you can beam it into the GT-1000 via Bluetooth, using the BOSS Tone Studio app on an iOS/Android device. A streamlined, yet powerful control interface is provided by ten backlit footswitches, a variety of knobs, a large LCD display, and an expression pedal built right into the board.1/4" connections are on hand for your instrument, your main outputs, two effects loops, and more. XLR sub outputs can feed the house PA or your recording interface, while a USB connection can interface directly with your DAW. With MIDI I/O, you can implement the device with a variety of MIDI switches. The unit comes with an AC adapter.

These tube amplifiers are essentially interactive, and Tube Logic design philosophy emulates this interactive experience in the digital realm. With AIRD, these design concepts are now available in pedal form-factor, particularly difficult to achieve as players often integrate pedalboards with a variety of external amplification systems that add their own characteristics to the sound. AIRD employs sophisticated techniques to ensure that the GT-1000's musical response can be consistently applied to all of these extrinsic elements.Highly Musical Guitar Amplifiers The GT-1000 is loaded with expressive guitar amplifiers, all modeled with AIRD technology. A key focus of AIRD is the reactive amp/speaker relationship, which is essential to the dynamic feel and musical responsiveness of tube amplifiers. This relationship is brought to life with the GT-1000's amps, producing guitar tones that dynamically interact with whatever is downstream in the chain. Furthermore, A wide range of BOSS original amplifiers are on hand, from super-clean to ultra-heavy, and several amp types employ Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP) technology for an even more dynamic, nuanced tone. Two amps can be used at once in a single patch, so you're able to switch between two sou
