With algorithms inherited from the GX-100, the GX-1 makes exceptional sound accessible to all guitarists, regardless of skill level. Explore 23 ultra-expressive AIRD amps, complemented by over 140 effects from the vast BOSS library. With adjustable effect order, eight simultaneous blocks, a volume pedal, and a noise suppressor, easily create custom setups to play different musical styles and perform specific songs on stage.
Whether editing presets or creating sounds from scratch, the GX-1 is designed for intuitive creation. Inspired by the GX-100 and GX-10 interfaces, the hexagonal effect knobs provide a visual representation of sound categories. A simple press enables/disables effects, while a long press grants access to detailed parameters. You also have 99 pre-loaded memories with ready-to-play presets, plus 99 user memories to save your custom sound creations.
The GX-1 introduces Gear Suite, a powerful new feature for quickly dialing in amp and effect sounds. Each amp/effect type contains multiple factory Gear Suite settings, allowing you to recall a complete set of pro-optimized parameters with a simple turn of a knob. You can also modify effect settings to your preference and save your favorites into user Gear Suite slots for instant access to your custom settings.
Once your tones are dialed in, expand your expressiveness on stage with advanced real-time control. Assign the onboard footswitches and expression pedal to control whatever you can imagine: from basic effect on/off to simultaneous adjustment of one or more parameters. Go even further with wired and wireless options for external control. The GX-1 also offers three versatile power options (batteries, AC adaptor, or USB), allowing you to practice and perform wherever you are.
The GX-1 goes wherever your creativity takes you. Connect to a mobile device or computer via Bluetooth or USB to jam along with tracks and record into a digital audio workstation (DAW). When you are ready to explore further, BOSS Tone Studio is your ideal partner. Use the Session feature to play along with YouTube songs and lessons, with A/B repeat and speed adjustment. Sharpen your technique with a metronome and rhythms. Access BOSS Tone Exchange in the app to find inspiration with professional sounds. Editing tools are also available to fine-tune effects and organize sounds for later use.
