Loop Send/Return on the back of the BOSS GT-10. I was able to make the Phaser and Flanger effects inside the BOSS GT-10 sound identical. For the MXR Phase 90 patch: I made the CTL-1 footswitch function as the Script-switch and the EXP-1 pedal function as the Speed knob.

It's this setting that I duplicated in the BOSS GT-10.

What is the Roland BOSS GT-10? • The Roland BOSS GT-10 is an electric guitar preamp multi-effects processor pedal. • The BOSS GT-10 has tons of effects that can be added to your electric guitars sound [Delay, reverb, tremolo, chorus, flanger, pitch shifter, harmonizer, and a lot more]. • The BOSS GT-10 has lots of clean/crunch/distortion amp modeling, speaker modeling, and microphone modeling sound options. • The BOSS GT-10 is an ALL-IN-ONE guitar effects unit which lets you save 200 of your own custom guitar sounds (called User Presets). What is a BOSS GT-10 Patch? • A BOSS GT-10 patch is a computer file that contains all of the settings for one BOSS GT-10 User-Preset.

• You can have up to 200 patches installed into the BOSS GT-10 (but have as many BOSS GT-10 patches as you want saved on your computer). Why do BOSS GT-10 Patches by James Limborg sound so amazing? • I use the Creamware 64-band spectrum analyzer [shown in my video below] to show me where I need to set all 64 (bass, mid, treble) frequency bands. • I use a VU meter [Shown at the top-right of my video] which shows me exactly where [left, center, right] to place the guitar sound. • Then I use my ears to add all of the effects [Delay, Reverb, Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, etc.].

This is why it takes me 4 to 30+ hours (1 to 3 days) to make just one BOSS GT-10 patch. With a BOSS GT-10 and BOSS GT-10 Patches by James Limborg your guitar can sound like Eddie Van Halen, Boston, AC/DC, Def Leppard, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and other guitarist's studio guitar sound. No more searching for that EVH brown-sound, Boston guitar sound, AC/DC, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani guitar tone. Now your guitar can have all of those studio guitar sounds with a BOSS GT-10 and my BOSS GT-10 Patches. My BOSS GT-10 patches will sound best if you connect the BOSS GT-10 (stereo) into some powered studio monitors (or PA speakers, your bands PA system, keyboard amp, home stereo system, headphones). I have (both) my BOSS GT-10 and PC computer connected to a Mackie 802-VLZ3 mixing board and Event 20/20BAS studio monitors; and both my computer and BOSS GT-10 sound great.

BOSS JS-8 Patches: • My BOSS GT-10 Patches will work in a BOSS JS-8 as long as you manually enter in all of the patch settings. BOSS GT-100 Patches BOSS JS-10 Patches: • Some people have successfully transferred BOSS GT-10 patches into a BOSS GT-100; But because the BOSS GT-100 doesn't have all of the same preamp-types as the BOSS GT-10 has, not all BOSS GT-10 patches will transfer accurately into a BOSS GT-100. In addition, BOSS GT-10 patches have to be manually entered into a BOSS GT-100. This is why I recommend installing my BOSS GT-10 Patches into a BOSS GT-10.

Download Gems Of War. Comments about Boss GT-001 Guitar Effects Processor: I am using the GT001 for home recording and so far am extremely pleased with it. It is very compact and so can go either on a desk surface or the floor. I do not use this for playing out, but it seems to be built like a truck; for gigging, the only problem I would anticipate is its light weight.

Unlike many very small devices that tend to have a lot of 'secret codes' to remember in their user interfaces, this one is very intuitive and easy to use. I replaced a Line6 POD X3 with this (because of reliability issues and the clunky Line6 user interface), and find the Boss unit much easier to dial in. For those who like a printed manual, the one supplied is small but pretty good, and it's easy to find what you want.

The GT001 controls are thoughtfully designed, and the display is quite useful despite being rather small. The presets are nicely done, although (as has been mentioned here) they tend to be heavy on the distortion. Happily, this is easy to change. The ability to change details of each effect as well as their order in the signal chain is good, and nicely implemented in the user interface. For recording, the ability to grab both the clean and effected signals is a big plus. In all, an excellent piece of gear at a very reasonable price. In case it's not clear from the sales page and from what others have written, this unit is the GT100 in a (much) smaller package, for much less money.

If you're intending to use it for recording, this is a clear choice and a real bargain. If you are going straight from this unit to an audio interface or computer, the interface is USB only (no Firewire or Thunderbolt), but works just fine. Comments about Boss GT-001 Guitar Effects Processor: I did Digi, I did Zoom, I even did Arion back in the day. But this one. SO versatile, SO dynamic. Tiny little desktop unit that sounds like it should be in a six-foot cabinet.

Any tone you want. Gibbons, Hendrix, Richards, Van Halen, Allman, and everything in between. I put an old Kramer and a Les Paul Traditional into it, and it spit back the best sounds I ever heard from my old workhorses.

Thought I was happy when I got it a few weeks ago. But it just keeps exceeding my expectations. The Boss Tonelab software is just awesome. I'm done shopping for effects.
