Boss GT-1 - Assigns & Footswitches - In Depth!

Hey there, everyone.

In this video we'll take a look at the different CTL-footswitches and how to go in-depth with the assigns, all within the great Boss GT-1.
I know I have one or two other videos about this topic, but there's always more to learn, and I bet there are some new things in this video, compared to the older ones - nonetheless, be sure to check them all out as well.

Thanks for the support, I really appreciate it.
Let me know if you have any requests or questions, I'd be more than happy to answer those and help out.

Thanks
Have a great day
Cheers :-)

Thank you so much for educating all of us GT-1 players! It would have taken me YEARS to figure out what I've learned in several hours of watching your videos. I've used countless BOSS individual and multi-effects pedals, and this one is my favorite by far. Your instruction has been invaluable, and has made owning this pedal much more enjoyable!

Excellent tutorial - much more easy to understand than the manual.

a picture is worth of thousend words. again so helpful thx. :) c'mon 'BOSS', watch this - you will learn something.

Your webinars are very enlightening, comprehensive and easy to follow. The documentation in the Boss GT 1 manual is very rudimentary and does not compare well with your insightful videos. Thank You!

Thanks for this video. Now I finally got my Boss FS-6 setup the way I like it.

GT-1 is awesome, wish i bought mine before any pedals.

[princejmn]

Thanks for these - its because of your tutorials that I decided to get a GT-1.
I agree with Fitz Kapp - Boss should take a look at these.

Thanks for help another people, i'm glad for your commitment!

Hi! I'm a few years late to your channel, but, firstly, I'd just like to say that your videos are amazing and have helped me lose my fear when going into edit patches and such on the Gt1! Thank you!

Heres's a question about ext footswitches. I've been using the GT8 for years coupled with an FS 5L Boss ext switch. Can I use it with the GT1? The manual only lists the other Boss ext pedals.

Again, thanks for these great tutorials!

I would have never figured this out without your video. Great job. Clean, to the point, clear video. Is there a way to setup Boss F5-6 switch to control the GT-1 Looper Off/On? Thank you.

[MrWillis]

Hi I'm loving your videos on this unit they have explained a lot! I would be extremely grateful if you could explain how to set the expression pedal to be a wah on a user patch.

Hi I am new to the GT1, I wanted to change down and up pedal to delay and reverb on off . That worked perfectly . CT1 OD/DS. I then attached the TC helicon switch 3 to move patches up and down . I went into ct2 and ct3 and set them -1 and +1 there is no facility to go toggle or momentary . So I tried to use it I copied this patch across several patches . However when I hit the down switch the patches just fly by and not one at a time . I tried to use the assign today and still the same even though I selected momentary . What am I doing wrong if you can help ? Thankyou

Hi man this is great video tutorial, just wondering if you put altogether in CT1 so if i press the CT1 how can i switch to other effects like for example delay, if i put it on Assign 3

[PaulWalkerMuso]

Once again, your tutorials (especially about assigns) have helped so much. Quick question, is it possible to set exp1 to switch off a loop rather than having to stomp twice on ctrl1??

[RJMelling]

Mate, your videos are amazing - very informative and very clear.
Thanx!
I'm a bassist and I bought the GT-1B recently which is awesome - I got it just for band practices but the quality of the preamps alone have made it part of my effects chain.
With regards to the footswitches, what's the difference between the FS6 and FS7 and which one would you recommend?
Keep up the great work, and Greetings from New Zealand!

Dear friend, I have this GT1 for a couple of months now but your videos are much more helpful than the manual per se. This “Assign” function was a mystery to me until now 😁. One thing that I can’t figure out is whether it’s possible to assign the external foot-switches to control those looper functions, for instance, by pressing it just once in order to stop the loop, instead of having to quickly press twice.
About that, btw, when the loop isn’t playing, and you want to clean up the memory, is it normal to start playing just a bit before cleaning the memory? This is so annoying!!! And I feel that the problem lies with the guy who’s operating the pedal (i.e., myself 😩).
Any help would be awesome... Thanks a lot, man! You’re the best!

Just asking .. the one that you assign in ctl1 thats automatically save to ctl1. Because it happen to me when i assign something in ctl1, then when i go back to prevoius patches and click the ctl1, it back to its original ctl1 patch. The one that i make i loss. Natural clean is the one i use.. i assign OD to ctl1 so that i have clean to distortion. But when i assign it... still go back to its original ctl1. The one that make the OD is loss again...

Thank you for these demos they are very helpful. Can you tell me if use this with powered monitors is the volume level set at the GT1 or the monitors please? If so how? thank you

[jbognap]

Quick question: can the Up and Down footswitches be used as sources for assigns?
