Boss GT-1 - Advanced Assigns Tutorial - How To Assign Multiple Parameters

Hey there!

Here's a tutorial video for the Boss GT-1 Multi Effects Processor. I'll show you how to assign multiple parameters, using the CTL1 gootswitch, so you easily can switch from one preamp to another, and also change one preamp's EQ, and keeping the other as it is.

Please subscribe, comment, like and share, if you like what I'm doing.
Requests and questions are very welcome - just let me know!

Enjoy & Cheers!

Fantastic tutorial. Huge possibilities via assigns. Thanks to you I am able to tweak tones as per my liking. Earlier i used the ctl1 only to toggle the OD/drives, placed before clean amps like the natural clean and jcm 120. Now via assigns I can toggle between set of parameters!

I’ve spent so many hours watching your vids each time I run into a problem brother, you really are an awesome dude!❤ Thanks for caring.

Thank you for this. I've been tearing my hair out in frustration trying to get the FS-7 to work with my GT-1 (double press problem). Who would have thought the switch would need to be on latch, but the function on moment? I'd never have thought of that! Cheers, Ian.

I would have never figured this out if not for this video

Great video! You should write the manuals for Boss... There is nothing included in their manuals that can even think about dreaming of coming anywhere close to this!

Once again a very nice video earlier today I commented on your other video about assigns and actually you cover it all in this video so well done friend and thank you very much

Man I appreciate this so much.

I’m having an issue with the GT-1, when I modify a patch and then save, some other patches are modified with the same CTL or Exp configuration.. it drives me crazy, I think it’s a software bug

You should set up a venmo or something for people to give back for all your work.

Thanks for the video! I wonder can you link footswitch to the looper? Cause hittin it twice to stop the loop kinda hard while playing live

[PulseAM]

I have a patch with clean then hit CTL1 for distortion, on my clean I have chorus and delay on my distortion I have delay but no chorus I used assign 2 to turn down my delay for the distortion - after hitting CTL1. Is that the correct way? It works but I want to make sure. Thanks!

Thanks a lot.Nice demo for multi assign.

[andreajemv]

Thanks a lot! I was asking the same thing about the assigns ;-)
Anyway I don't think I will use them at the moment but at least I know what is this! I could not understand from the manual. Thanks for your clear explanation!!

Hi, I wonder if you can help? Hard to articulate what i mean. I used the GT-6 in the past, and am used to being able to navigate through banks of patches while playing on a specific patch, and then tap 1, 2, 3 or 4 to engage the patch. This is great when playing live, as you can pre-prepare by navigating to a bank and stomp it to engage it at the exact time. Whereas with the GT1, you can either go up or down patches one at a time. Is there a way to navigate to a patch without engaging it, then tap it again to engage it?

Thanks for your helpful video. How to turn on the loop function with only CTL1 instead of UP+CTL1? Can’t find loop function to assign. Please help. Thanks

[ramzinassar]

Thanks for all your GT 1 posts. I was wondering if you could post a tutorial that shows the whole process of creating complex patch for scratch? This could include several assigns to CTl and multiple mods on Ctl as well possible extra foot switch...etc... So in other words a gig/song worthy patch that has additional parameters for solo and maybe even intro or outro. Thanks for you help on this and other topics.

Thank you these videos are great. Is it possible to have a patch with both slowgear and the octive pedal active.. I would like to make a patch to make a violin/cello sound. Thank you again.

Hello there, pls could you do a video showing how to use the drop a pitch down a tone o a half tone on gt1 just for play a fewer song and than back to normal again without the need to re-tune the guitar.

[eggybaby]

Hi Berg, Can you do a tutorial on how to assign, and use, the 'Internal Pedal' and the 'Wave Pedal' features?

[nicklopez]

Thank you for the help it’s hard to find good tutorials about the GT1 that people actually respond to the questions haha! One more thing, I love using the loop pedal but I’m not sure if I can use the CTL1 as a stomp box to turn the over drive on while looping. Everytime I step on it all it does is overdub whatever I’m recording

[luisbravo]

Thank you so much for this clarifying and enlightening tutorial! Just a question: Are the assigns 1 through 6 as well as CT1, 2 and 3 PER PATCH? Meaning, for each of the 99 user patches you have 3 CTs and 6 ASSIGNS free to use? Thanks again!
