Part 10 - Controlling Effects on the Boss GT-10

[J4m3z1]

I've heard that with the GT-10 there is a silent gap/delay when you switch to a different amp model. Does that ever become a troubling issue when in the middle of play? Because the new GT-100 that is coming out supposedly allows seamless switching between patches. I'm wondering just how much of a benefit that would be.

[tgstk2]

awesome vidS1

i've been having the gt10 for 2 years now and only used like lets say 3% of what it could do

i'm totally into manually mode right now, and it's awesome....i am checking all your v ids as they give me so much more insight on what this baby can do....i know it's all about rtfm...but...

[afy300]

I play music like U2 and Angels and Airwaves. and to be able to control effects such as delay, phaser/flanger rates is very important to me. Can you message me and tell me how you were able to set the function of the expression pedal to be "delay level"??? I spent hours in the store even reading the manual. couldnt figure it out. for the EXP PED SW ....DELAY is an option. but for the expression pedal itself only as i said in my last comment....WAH/PB/FV/+-octave/­OFF. please help me on this.

[afy300]

THANK YOU. now i know it IS possible to control the delay (and other effects) level. I went into my local music store and tried for hours to get the expression pedal to CONTROL the delay level and couldn't figure it out. and in the manual it just seemed to say that you can only do that with the EXPRESSION PEDAL SWITCH. But i wanted to control it....not switch it on and off. How do you set it to do that? i went into the system assign settings. only assignable parametres are wah/pb/FV. im baffled

[chordguitar1]

please help me. i just got this pedal and im not sure how to activate the wah in the exp pedal, please explain.

[edlift]

Hello. I am trying to figure out how to do that internal pedal feature you use. Step by step how do you program that in on the gt-10? Thank you

[stbreal]

with each preset do the effects change 

[iwantthisfuckingname]

Great video series! Very well done, good audio quality and very informative. Guess I better start savin my pennies...you sold me on the GT 10. I hope Boss at least sent you a t-shirt, you've done them a serious favor and I'm sure that you've hellped them sell quite a few.

[Sevendogtags]

Man! I love it when you laugh like that at 9:12 ! It's like that you really know how amazing it was (the delay) It was really post rock like. :)

[gnznrss]

nice shoes ;)

[freddyccix]

cool man, I use it for triggering other sounds, like a delay when soloing, in combination with the dymanics capability, It's just amazing

[nonno1313]

@bossgtten in the guide boss tell that i can start 7 effect simultaneously... how the fuck i do that??? i'm going crazy!!

[MegaNaque]

thanks for the explalin..



[gezemoe123]

how do I get the expression pedal to increase and decrease the speed of the rotary effect? I did it on the GT 6, but I can't seem to get the GT 10 to do it. It would involve getting the Exp. pedal to control one of the effect parameters, in this case the speed of the rotary effect. - CX

[skydancerak]

for God's sake, how can i make it increase the Drive of the distortion or the Gain GRADUALLY?

[skydancerak]

for God's sake.. how can i use this exp. pedal thing to make drive or gain increase GRADUALLY corresponding to the pedal pressing?

[christez]

nice kicks

[MrLUISlemy]

Can you help me!! I NEED TO KNOW if each bank can have its own sound?? so like with no effects on can bank have a overdrive...and the other one is if the thing can be used in pedal mode like the me-70...that it can be 4 individual pedals..in this case it would be 4-6 different effects pleas help me this is the final thing i need to know before i but it!!!this is the the stuff that will assure me what i want!! thanks!!

[infinatesorrow]

i am with the guy further down, i own an engl savage so im not interested in affecting my amp sound as far as distortion goes i am ditching a tc electronics g-force cuz it totaly destroys the engl sound, but i would like to have some good effect choices and control could you do one explaining how to bypass the preamp?

[floydcaillou]

can you tell me how can i play shine on the crazy dimond of pink floyd i mean the effect i can use

in the intro the chord stay play over it change the chord and play over again

thank for your tip

[guitardude5592]

hi i was wondering if you could help me by making an actual video showing how to set up the different types of pedals because im still confused on how to program them thanks

[MrJackanthony]

@guitardude5592 If you still dont know email me and Ill tell you how.

[8789a]

what patch and adjustments did u use to make that fade in fade out sound?? reply asap plz

[8789a]

what is that u need to record ur stuff from the gt 10 to ur computer using the usb.?

[MrHardrod2]

I just bought a Boss GT-10 myself but Im new to this pedalboard so I won't know how to use this effectively. I suppose this unit comes with a manual that can show me how to set it up and how to program different patch effects to bank and set up one after the other for live performance if you are doing sets of 5-6 songs per set on a 20-25 song repertoire (about 5-6 sets with a 20 minute break after each set. One set has 5-6 songs).

[MrJackanthony]

@MrHardrod2 No as youve probably found out the manual isnt very well written but try the forum

[MrHardrod2]

I think the Manual is very good. I figured out how to do it. How to bank and set the different patch effects I want to each bank and switching channels as well. It's takes a long time to set it up though. Took me over three hours to set up four banks for patches (1, 2, 3 and 4) and then bank a couple of riffs so I could solo over them. Yes, it's not easy but I think the GT 10 is better than buying a whole bunch of individual pedals because it will cost you thousands.

[MrHardrod2]

One thing I would do though is add a FS-6 dual footswitch , a Boss RE-20 Space Echo and an Airplane Flanger by Ibanez. That would be my stage gear set-up. Then I would get a Boss VE-20 Vocal Performer hooked up to the P.A. system mixing board for the vocals for harmonics, reverb and echo.

[MrJackanthony]

Yeah. Although i play is the studio my live set up is something like that. (im just entering the world of processors though and for the price they are definitely worth it. Im never again carrying around a stompbox pedal board if I can help it.

[tony93666]

is this Paul Hanson?

[stallpooh]

I cant figure out how to get the expressionpedal to control the amount of FX! Please, help a brother in need!

[valveshredder]

you could just set up two amps and run them to the one guitar that would work (:

[smartsharpkiller]

thanks although I didn't understand why people gave me negative remarks on my idea?

[oatscerealfruitsgood]

nice socks

[petedogg369]

How about doing a video showing the step by step process of setting up the expression pedal to control an effect. I want to set up tremolo on the pedal to do the vibrato effects while playing Lenny by SRV. I am using a Tele so being able to control the tremolo effect with the pedal is a must.

[n8tivguitar]

does it do volume swell

[delinx]

great video. btw, when you record direct to pc, how do you playback your music? Whenever my gt-10 is hooked to my DAW, it pickups the gt-10s input signal, but when I playback the recorded tracks no sound comes out from my speakers. Is there a setting I need to change or something?Thanks

[Phishboy26]

that would be sick as hell if you can assign delay to the wave pedal

[johnnyice428]

First off....Thanks for these very informative videos. I'd like to know it you have had any problems with hiss type noise. I seem to be have this problem. My rig is a Hughes & Kettner Switchblade head & Marshall slant cab. Axes are Fender Strat 25th anniv., Kramer Pacer Deluxe USA 1987. Laguna 322. When I plug straight into the amp there's no noise at all. When I hook up the GT-10 with the volume on the guitar off I get a hiss noise. I would like to see a demo of the GT-10 without the preamp.

[AyaG3714]

so you can just put this in your effects chain? amp, cables, Boss GT-10, to my guitar?

[SwampAshHSS]

i use mine to control a the midi chanel switching on my 3 channel all-tube, all analog combo. I run it using the 4 cable method...I have a midi controllable 4 relay, bypass system, so i can true-bypass the input of the gt-10, but still have time/mod fx going in my loop. I like it cause i can do that kind of stuff. I can move my fx chain anywhere around the send/return, to keep my tube signal as pure as possible. I like the para-EQ, i'll use it to shape my amps OD for tight rhythms.

[scottybee33]

I finally got my GT10, and I'm happy to say it has NO milli-second drop out for patch changes! This thing kicks-butt! Guitar volume dynanmics, FX tweakability, control options & flexibility, short of a Bradshaw Control system this is without a doubt the best thing available for us working stiffs. Please note, IMHO the manual is merely a technical document, it won't help you to apply it's possiblities to your live playing situations. Watch all of BOSSGTTEN's videos to get some real deal help. THX

[goodguitar18]

Yeah i just got this multi effects board tonight and its very advanced i really like it it tons of effects and things i can do cant wait till i can master this thing but im still reading and looking through the manual great videos

[scottybee33]

I dig all of your vids and I trust your opinion. How fast is the preset change? I know Zoom says they're the fastest. But what really matters is how noticeble it is in the Band / Song context. Does it have that millisecond drop-out?

[sacredfacto]

Can u do a part where you teach how to set up the noise supressor, that is a little complex on the pedalboard cuz' that's not on the EZ option. :) great vids!

[rfaraon]

Very cool delay effect you use on expression pedal! I got an idea...

[brando24567]

Hi : Would you consider doing a video on how to plug the GT-10 in to bypass the pre- amp. Also, can you add other unique effects like the BK Butler Tube Driver that Eric Johnsons uses? Great videos , you should do the odd lesson for guitar also. You seem to be patient and methodical in your presentation.

[be4realyo]

Very informative but I'll keep my gnx4 for now.

[xXGibsonRocker]

I like how the delayed sustain like tone doesn't go away when you push back on the pedal, so you can do what you do. Awesome! I get mine 2moro.

[arthuradult]

We're u paid for doing those videos??

It kicks ass compared with the BOSS ones...

They just have a bunch of metal dudes playing fast solos but donsn't explain nothing about it!

Love it! Now I'm sure I'm gonna have one!

[lastsectionband]

can i use pedal 1,2,3,4 in switching on/off effects??

[boomxpassion]

yes

[athotmaledotcom]

got myself one of these...awfully awsome....never taugh twice not bying it after seeing your video...thanks a million.

[jleclai1]

my amplifier does not have an efx loop, will this cause any problems?

[nippleboi22]

no.

[folieadeux147]

just got one of these!!! its amazing!!

[ttrraavviiaann]

anyone plz

[ttrraavviiaann]

how can i set up delay on pedal

ples help

realy cool vedeo

[AndreeTheGuitarist]

can you set on/off effects, distortions etc with the pedal 1, 2, 3 or 4??

[samueldavidtitsy]

i own the gt-8 and i always liked the delay u use at 4:43 and i cant seem to get it right could post which type of delay and how many seconds is it cus i really love that sound thanks for the great vids!

[lordpeekaboo]

Great Videos. I was set to buy an X3 when I stumbled onto your vids. I drove 100 miles to Guitar Center and picked one up yesterday. It sounds great with any amp or setup I've tried. Way better than any of the half dozen L6 products I've owned. My Vetta died two weeks ago and now I don't care if they can fix it or not. This weekend will be stereo half stacks. Thanks for doing such a great job. I hope Roland has you on the payroll. Thanks.

[Mairgz9]

Dude, i just got this pedal and it seems so daunting, thank you for the insight... the possibilities seem endless!

[pickin4me]

You should do a dvd for this pedal and sell it! I would buy it for sure.

[INFONAVIT]

Super cool!!!

[pawnagexxx1]

you have some ugly ass shoes lol!

ps nice vid

[TMIT11]

does the gt-10 have an acoustic simulator and an octave effect?

[lvlUpgrade]

yep

[DrumGunD]

the gt-10 have just all effcts. the most of it you never gonna use

[imkl22]

hey mate i ws wonderin is ther na pink floyd style presets on the gt10 if so coud u do a video on it

[guitarpower125]

these videos are really good.,i play in a 70s rock style band,but with solos of shred that need lots of gain,i was wondering,is this processer easy for channel switching and does it have any very hi sustain and gain channels?

[imkl22]

mate do u play pink floyd stuff

[speshojk2]

Just curious, when you play the gt-10 through your marshall, do you use any specific presets for your amp's eq? I'm never sure whether set my treble, mids, and bass the way I normally would, or to keep them level instead and allow the gt-10 to do the rest.

You tear it up man.

[bossgtten]

when i use it with the marshall, I don't use the GT-10 preamps. I like my marshalls preamps better. However, I don't know how long I'll be using a tube amp. I've been running the GT through PA's for smaller gigs lately and it sounds fantastic. So, I'm not sure how much longer I'm going to lug the marhsall around. I might just keep it for recording and the bigger gigs (maybe)

[jonas227]

thank you so much for doing these videos! finally somebody who also focuses on some mellow sounds instead of shredding all the way through =)

i will definately check this pedal out, seems perfect for me!

[RosettaBaked]

Hey, I just got my GT 10 and I can't figure out how to control parameters with the expression pedal. I read the manual and I still can't figure out how to use the assign functions, any tips?

By the way GT-10 is awesome!

[svenzia]

You should get paid by Boss for your work promoting the GT-10. Great videos!

[Viruzpmrgnogueira]

Hello,

Does the GT-10 have a Dynamic Mode like the GT-8 ? for egxample when you play softley it has a clean sound, and wen you play harder it gains a hard solo tipe of sound

[bossgtten]

yes, it has that. I didn't make a vid of it yet, but yes - it's the same....

[Viruzpmrgnogueira]

Thanks :D

in 2 week i will have my GT-10 we xD

[r3inv3nt3xit]

Hey great demos I saved up $400 for it so far thanks to your goading i actually was wondering if there was true amp modeling bypass if i could only have an effects chain like guitar -> distortion & w/e effect -> back straight out to amp with no eq and amp modeling or pickup modeling and also u can hav two effects on the expression pedal right? like when it's not clicked its volume and when its clicked its wah? thanks

[bossgtten]

yes, you can bypass the amp modeling completely and just use it for effects. as far as the exp pedal - yes you can do that and MANY more things with the pedals.

[dodz07]

is this better than the zoom g9.2tt??

[JohnJeevasingham]

Man, that Delay example with the expression pedal and chords was the bomb!

Would you mind uploading your patches to the Boss GT Central Patch Xchange? :-)

[bossgtten]

i'll try to get around to putting all the patches up when i get a chance.

[metaldude21]

I have a question. I just decided to get a 10 instead of an 8. However, I was wondering if it has a smooth melodic swell sound (I've heard it called the "Whale Sound") It's really awesome. Does it?

[bossgtten]

that's the slow gear effect - yeah it has that. you'll love the 10.

best

K

[KillswitchEngage42]

I tried to download the USB driver for the gt-10. I downloaded it and clicked on the CoreAudio thing, and it wont connect. What do I do?

[rishulmatta16]

wow buddy aweosome video..........man boss guys should pay u a deal as u hav really advertised their product...........:)

KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD guys.............

[ljocampo]

Thanks for the demos. I'd like if you would show us the I/O connections on using stereo effects.

[cingram72]

Another stellar video. K, you have such good communicative style and I love how you showcase the endless flexibility of this unit. Please keep these coming!
