BOSS GT-001 Guitar Effects Processor - Flagship GT Power On Your DeskTop

Product Information

Great amp tones, loads of cool effects, some fun synth sounds, guitar to MIDI conversion, and really good editor (for windows at least), and most importantly for me, the note decay sounds natural, like an analog amp. You must either purchase or already have a USB type A to type B (male-to-male) cable to connect this to a computer. The flexibility is nice-to-have here: you could connect a pedal that does nothing except control something elsewhere in the chain, like use a pedal for a wah control at one point and then switch it to control something else later, or, you could just link a regular old pedal that just controls itself.

Trevor Curwen has played guitar for several decades – he's also mimed it on the UK's Top of the Pops. The GT-001's 200 presets and 200 user patches are selected via a front panel data knob and you can assign four of them to 'Favorite' buttons.

But all of the various dials, choices and options make sense and can be tweaked individually to your liking. In addition to the guitar input, an XLR mic input is included for capturing vocals or acoustic instruments, and the built-in USB audio/MIDI interface provides a direct connection for creating music with your favorite DAW.Low and behold the computer recognized it AND I can send MIDI clock along with PC, CC and anything else in the GT-001 spec. You probably don’t have the cash or the space for a cabinet or a bunch of separate amps and effects. For guitars with standard tremolos, we can set it to float and be used both up or down like a true tremolo or we can lock the trem block back so the tremolo will only go downwards.
