The new Boss GT100.... YEAHHHHHHH....!

[Khai HeadrusH]

Los Angeles, CA (Jan 19, 2012) — BOSS introduces the GT-100 Amp Effects Processor, the latest addition to the GT-series lineup of floor-based multi-effects units for guitarists. Driven by a powerful new BOSS DSP engine, the GT-100 is the most advanced GT ever, loaded with newly developed, ultra-responsive COSM amps, updated effects with enhanced real-time control options, dual displays for easy sound programming, and more.

BOSS has completely remodeled all of the COSM amps in the GT-100. Reaching far beyond conventional vintage amp modeling, the GT-100 includes a host of all-new amps that deliver amazingly transparent clean tones to ultra-high gain modern sounds and everything in between.

At the core of the GT-100 is BOSS’ new proprietary DSP chip, a blazing-fast processor that provides unparalleled muscle for COSM amps and effects. Thanks to this powerful new chip, the GT-100’s COSM amps sound better than ever before, with a dynamic touch and response that truly captures the feel and expressiveness of the world’s finest tube-based amplifiers.

The GT-100 is also a powerful multi-effects processor packed with a huge array of effects, including overdrives, distortions, delays, pitch shifters, modulation, reverb, and many more. The newly developed ACCEL pedal lets players creative explosive effects in live performance by adjusting multiple effects parameters in real time with one simple foot press.

The GT-100’s user interface has been completely redesigned as well, offering easy, intuitive operation that greatly improves on previous designs. Dual displays make navigation simple while programming tones, with intuitive parameter adjustment via easy-to-grab knobs. The GT-100 also includes the acclaimed EZ TONE, which gives everyone from beginners to pros the ability to dial up world-class tones with just a few tweaks. AMP CUSTOMIZE and OD/DS CUSTOMIZE functions, which enable to create original amps and OD/DS, are newly added to EZ TONE.

Housed in a road-tested, all-metal GT chassis with a sleek black finish, the GT-100 is ready for action on stage and in the studio. Eight onboard foot switches provide control over patch selection, as well as immediate access to the built-in Phrase Looper and ACCEL functions. The integrated heavy-duty expression pedal offers foot control over volume, wah, pitch effects, and more. Additionally, the new quick-access Manual mode instantly transforms the GT-100 from a patch-based multi-effects unit to a pedalboard full of stomps with individual on/off control.

The GT-100 will be available in February 2012.love

I like the layout. not as complicated as before.

To me, the prev layout was more practical, esp for a lefthanded player
like me as 1) now the banks pedals are on the left .. :-(
2) prev layout has 2 ctrl switches

But im really excited abt the Accel pedal; effects in one single pedal... d:-D

hopefully if the remodeled cosm simulators are as good as boss claims it to be, they can come up with a firmware update to replace the old cosm models in the gt-10

dont think it would be possible though, as the gt-100 seems to be loaded with a more powerful processor chip

the initial video demo's from boss do seem quite promising, especially the eric johnson-ish tone that this guy managed to dial in

Given a choice, i would haf preferred Rob Marcello to do the demo like he did for the gt10. Fantastic playg plus the fact that he cld demonstrate fast rock/metal shredding, unlike Mr Alex. ( personal preference here, no hard feelings to Mr Alex's fans ... d:-D )
That said, it is my belief too regardg the firmware update.. .. d:-L

 

[mightyboy88]

ok, Mr alex hutchings it is

Yeah it would be interesting to see a rob marcello do a demo too. It would be even better if there was a gt-100 vs gt-10 shootout. The gt-10 didnt have great amp models in my opinion, when i used the gt-10 i used a distortion pedal in the loop most of the time.

So far the tones from alex hutchings video seems really promising. i especially enjoyed the patch "larry's room" which is "eric johnson-ish"
