The Powerful Player’s Choice – The Boss GX-100

To say Boss know what they’re doing when it comes to multi-effects pedals would be the understatement of the century. They have led the charge for what is now decades, ando this day – from their entry point, the GT-1, to the flagship GT-1000.

Early last year, Boss announced the GX-100, fusing their most advanced tone technologies, borrowed from the GT-1000, into a sleek, modern hardware design, for the first time featuring a colour touch screen.

The unit features 23 AIRD amplifiers and over 150 effects, all derived from the flagship GT-1000, and the ability to craft great sounds in seconds. Up to 15 simultaneous effect blocks provide virtually unlimited tone possibilities, coupled with deep real-time command via onboard footswitches, an expression pedal, and external control support.

Guitar & Bass in one unit: Something Boss have been doing in their flagships units for a few generations now – Regardless of whether you play guitar or bass, the GX-100 is built for you. With amps and effects tailored for each instrument, you can sculpt the GX-100 around your needs.

What's in the box

Authentic Amps and Cabs

The GX-100 provides superior tone and natural tube amp feel in any playing situation, thanks to AIRD technology backed by Roland’s refined Tube Logic approach. AIRD is infused into the DNA of every GX-100 guitar and bass amplifier, while AIRD Output Select types let you perfectly tailor the sound for any destination, whether it’s an amp input, flat response monitor, or house PA. A wide selection of onboard speaker cabs are also available, plus slots for importing your own speaker IRs via USB.

World-Class Effects

With over top-quality 150 effects from the vast BOSS library, you’re able to realize nearly any sound you can imagine with the GX-100. Numerous overdrives and distortions are available, plus BOSS classics like Slow Gear, Octave, and more. There’s also a diverse range of mod effects, delays, and reverbs, along with many effects specially tuned for bass. And with the send/return jacks, you can integrate favorite stomps or your amp’s effects loop into the GX-100 ecosystem.

Craft Your Own Voice

The GX-100 comes with 100 preset memories to start playing right away. But it’s easy to edit them for your needs or build new ones from the ground up. Let your imagination run wild with 15 dedicated block types—including two amp blocks—and chain effects in series and parallel to create all types of sonic variations. And with 200 user memories, you’re able to store enough onboard sounds to cover nearly any song or style.

Go Deeper with Boss Tone Studio

Using BOSS Tone Studio for macOS and Windows, you’re able to tweak every GX-100 parameter, save sounds, and organize Live Sets for different gigs from your computer. And with the optional Bluetooth Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor, you can wirelessly adjust settings on the gig from the BOSS Tone Studio app on your mobile device and stream backing music from your device’s library.
