If you've never actually used this unit, you can't appreciate what it is beyond what you're hearing on a YouTube video. Beyond the simplistic display is probably one of the best "feeling" modelers out there in terms of how it feels "under the hand". In the settings, you can adjust the "feel" sensitivity or response, according to the pick-ups in your guitar. I also like that there isn't 9 million different amps and cabs so the unit relies on you to create your own tones using the quality amp bases.

[MiguelGuitars]

Awesome new amp models, hoping for a GX100 update that includes them 😅

[RyRyTheBassGuy]

One thing I've learned with the GT1000 is you DO NOT need to crank the level on the T-Scream to get the boost you want going into the high gain amps (this isn't the case on other modelers). You must adjust the SAG and RESO to achieve the sound you want on the high gain amps. It really makes a world of difference.

The reverbs are awesome on this thing. Really nice being able to adjust the low/high pass on them.

Also, IR Loader is super slow.

[doutorlh]

GT1000 has the best processor and lowest latency. New models only turns high Gain easier to reach, with less eq-working and gain chain. For me still the best unit.

[RyRyTheBassGuy]

I'm really glad they added the SD-1. Couldn't believe it was missing for all these years.

[Subcritical]

I own two of them. One as a backup. For me, It was not that easy to learn at first. I found it to have an exponential learning curve. However, once one gets their head wrapped around the entire system, any tone can be created that is pleasing to the ear. It took me about a year and a half to get my head wrapped around the system. It forced me to learn EQ. EQ is everything when it comes to superior tone. The GT1000 replaced my 80lb peddle board.

[JohnnyOskam]

The GT-1000 doesn’t get enough credit. I have one. It really is very good. Certain UI stuff is clunky, like setting the outputs and IRs. But I actually prefer having everything laid out in one view. Zero latency patch switching is fantastic. And this unit is fantastic for running only effects with a real amp.

[ChrisAdkins]

Buying the CORE today. Been wanting to add a multi effects/midi control to my Friedman IR-D And a select few stomp boxes.

From a YouTube perspective, none of the other modelers have the organic qualities it has

Was always a fan of the 6 . Opeth were using them live for a longtime and they sounded great .

[sammolina]

for a moment I thought that song near the start of the video was going to be a high gain version of "Scotty doesn't know" .

[progrob]

What a nice surprise sd-1 is my favourite pedal, thanks for the demo, great to still get product support late in it's life cycle. Nice one Boss. Sounds killer if you use an fx send out to a small valve amp fx return and real cab.

[danieladler]

Ah finally! I was hoping you get your hands on one of these!

[sevynn]

Great job going through these amps. I love my GT1000 and I’m glad Boss is still developing an already great product

[ernanejunior]

Just received my GTK yesterday and I play metal. That's amazing news! 🤘🏻

[samuelalmanza]

Awesome video as always! I’ve had the GT for 3 years nows. I am pairing it with my Tonex but these new amps sound absolutely killer

[misterringer]

Holy hell, Roland/Boss actually updated something more than once?! I thought I'd be dead before that happened 🤣

Sounds solid.

[ji]

Played through these amps a while last night. I think I’ll be using X-Ultra for my chunky rhythms and X-Optima for my main lead tone from now on.
Really hoping we’ll see another 4.x update with some new reverbs or a dimension chorus.

[samizdat]

Oh snap. I need to update my GT-1000 like right now.

[davidfaustino]

Ive been using a GT 1000 Core for years. I actually "downgraded" to it coming from Fractal and Kemper. It just sounds and feels better for me. But I had totally given up on expecting an update with more amps etc.. WELL GUESS WHAT UNIT ALSO GOT AN UPDATE TODAY???? 😁

[bangermetal]

Great video man¡¡¡ Can you do a video creating extreme hi gain tones for death metal using the rectistak and the juggernaut?
