BOSS has unveiled its new GX-100 amp/effects processor for guitar and bass.
Combining BOSS tone technologies into a modern hardware design, the GX-100 is designed to deliver premium sound and intuitive operation with a vivid colour touch display. It features 23 AIRD amplifiers and over 150 effects derived from the flagship GT-1000, up to 15 simultaneous effect blocks, and deep real-time command via onboard footswitches, an expression pedal, and external control support.
With over 150 effects from the BOSS library, players can realize a vast array of sounds, featuring numerous overdrives and distortions, plus BOSS classics like Slow Gear, Octave, and more. There’s also a range of mod effects, delays, and reverbs, along with many effects specially tuned for bass. Furthermore, with the send/return jacks, users can integrate their favourite stomps or an amp’s effects loop into the GX-100 ecosystem.
Users can craft sounds with the GX-100’s 15 dedicated block types - including two amp blocks - and chain effects in series and parallel to create all types of sonic variations. Some 200 user memories are available.
Meanwhile, the GX-100 offers eight custom footswitches and an expression pedal with toe switch that can be assigned to control nearly any parameter. Manual mode provides direct stompbox-like control, and players can go further still with external control via footswitches, an expression pedal, or MIDI. There’s also a jack to remotely switch amplifier channels with memory selection or an assigned footswitch.
The GX-100 can also be used as a USB audio interface for recording and performing with a computer. A headphones jack is included for quiet practice, plus an onboard looper for jamming, developing sounds and ideas, and performing.
In addition, with BOSS Tone Studio for macOS and Windows, players can tweak every GX-100 parameter, save sounds, and organize Live Sets for different gigs from a computer
The BOSS GX-100 Guitar Effects Processor is now available in the US for $599.99.
