Sweetwater at NAMM 2012 - BOSS GT-100 Demo

[BigKenNC]

Pretty useless video...

[muuuchietac]

i have a vox tonelab se , u know , the big whopper. i run it thru the fx loop of my egnater twkr 40 and use no preamp or dist and it snds awesome. my point? u must have a good amp to start out with or none of these gizmos will snd good. this guy is very good. btw-- the egnater twkr 40 kiks mjr booty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[riko879]

I don't like him... He is very good guitarist but sometimes I think that he plays only one lick/solo for all the time

[YuriNabakov]

widows of line 6 can not get enough to appear

[UncleWiggler]

boss is stuck in the '80s

[SAINTsoldi]

is this better than pod line 6 xt live? please some1 answer, im about to buy one of those

[panamanian911]

@SAINTsoldi Bear in mind that if you're only going to use 4 channels at the most, just buy a regular amp that sounds good. Trust me.

[SAINTsoldi]

@panamanian911 amp? i dont need amp, i need multiefect, pedal, footswitch u know... so which is better?

[panamanian911]

@SAINTsoldi i would only recommend you buying either one of those if you already have a pretty good amp.

anyway, tonewise, this is the exact same as the gt10. they dont really worry about making the tone any better. I'd buy the line6.

if youre only looking for effects since you already have a pretty good amp, id buy a gt10. i wouldntreally spend the extra 100 bucks or whatever for this gt100

[flymyv]

Compare with Line 6 HD500 in term of tones..which one is better..?



[DusselDepp]

Are they gonna be kidding me? Just HM lead tones?

This is gonna kill the successful line of GT floor processors for all times. Boss, you suck!

[Pableos1]

Anyone know exactly when will be available for sale?

[Aristowi]

I wonder if this is the true successor for the GT-10. I have seen very little about the GT-100 but the "amp effects processor" name makes me wonder if it's just focused in amp modeling or the modeling is a great extra for the unit while keeping all the GT-10 effects and features.

Also, I see here or maybe I am wrong, that the 1-4 pedals serve not only (or not anynore) as patch changers, but for adding effects in the same patch (like previous ctr pedals in the GT10).

The black color is beautiful

[JerichBlakk]

man your such a good player Rob..always nice seeing you at NAMM!!!



[speaks66]

A true 80's guy:) Wonder if you can really get all that sustain from the pedal, or if they have additional gear going with it? Honestly, from the solo channel alone, I think it blows any pod, or crappy-ass stomp-box away. Sorry, not a big fan of the whole amp modeling, bring back the 1960's forever type of crap! Technology is good and it's time to move on!!!

Btw, am I the only one who realizes that a F.strat is NOT the only guitar on the market? Damn, people! They're really not all that!

[81giorikas]

yeah great organic heavy sound. Just kidding> malmsteen wannabe. I hope it sells good in japan but doesn't sound that good from the other boss models...should scratch everything they did in my oppinion and not just improving it.

[jayblackdogg]

What Roland amp did Rob use with the GT-100 for this demo?

[afterthefox7]

too much sweep picking throughout the whole song.

[kuddelkortum]

No separate professionell XLR Outs! Trash!

[visiondanndotcom]

Sounds like crap to me ... Sorry ...

[MusquitoRepellent]

01:23 to skip to playing



[UNiQUETUNE]

do we really need all of this brand new stuff ??? or should we first learn how to get all of the capacity from our old equipment??;)

[dan0311]

Amazing player, but I would have much rather seen demos of the new amp models than hear shredding with a backing track.

I have seen a few demo videos for this and they always feature clean sounds and super effected shredding sounds...nothing in the middle...no overdrives, crunch, no meat and potatoes classic rock sounds, so I am assuming at this point that they didnt really improve any of that. Instead, you get the Accel pedal, which no self respecting player would use in a million years.

[ApathethicJustice]

@dan0311 yeah thats true, Thats why, for multieffects i prefer Zoom. And about the accel shit thing they put, Im only thinking of two ppl that would use it. Video game musicians, i dont know how theya re called, and maybe Gilbert, but gilbert only uses pro but simple to use stuff.

[udayvirgarg22]

Isn't Rob sick of playing the same stuff over and over again, demo after demo?

[RefUser]

this guy's doing the same demo for the same product for years...

[nothinghappens1]

Would be really nice if someone can do a demo with heavy riffing. I mean, rythm guitar is the best way to show a distortion.

[LJOHNS123]

what a crappy demo! Why is every Boss demo done with speed metal?

[pfloydguy]

dude, fix your hair and put on some real clothes, you're in public.

[leandroafram]

I want, I need!!!!!!

[eelabob]

I've been playing guitar for over 20 years but I can't stand what I call guitarists guitar music !! widdly widdly pish , let us real band player here the amp models , and as usuall well ignore your digital crap

[cortarelva]

Malmsteen clone but a great player anyway.

[DefaultAnonAccount]

@cortarelva lol what the fuck are you talking about?

[benga171066]

I have a ME-70 and a GR-55 and they are GREAT! But this GT 100 doesn't add anything really interesting in my opinion... and maybe too early for another BOSS MultiFX? (for those who always yell "get a real amp and stomp boxes" please don't even watch and comment these videos, thanks)

[mattsynth]

I have a GT-6 and love it. Cannot wait to hear this new one.

[dance2noise002]

I don't hear any tonal quality at all in this video. WTF is this? Shame on you BOSS!

[MusiciansQuarters]

1:32 big Freekin OPPPS better bend quickly

[MrDISCOBRITCHES]

This was a great promotional video for Line 6.

[colinmortimore]

What exactly is this supposed to tell us? Come on guys

[hugostiglitz7]

Why is there always Rob Marcello playing the same thing? I want to hear weird and normal guitar sounds, not always shred. Blues, prog etc. PLEASE

[rafabcarvalho]

Boss deleted my coments about their CRAPY flagship! COSM sounds and smells like shit! Get yourselves a real amp or a nice multifx, not this piece of junk.

[Stimul8d]

Always wanted my guitar to sound like a rape alarm! Nice work guys. Only more glad I bought the HD500 now.

[MusiciansQuarters]

@Stimul8d The HD500 sounds like big fart? To much Bottom they got rid of the fizz sure with a farty bass sound

[Stimul8d]

@MusiciansQuarters Sure man,..whatever you say :-)

[Jeepjones85]

O yeah I use an Rp1000 btw

[Jeepjones85]

Your a tin can lol that guy plays like a robot it's perfect lol

[dareeldealproduction]

sounds like a tin can

[rafabcarvalho]

This can make every Boss multifx sound like the same lame cocked wah! But what can he do? Boss just releases these crapy COSM powered pieces of junk. I was hoping they did more this year, but, I gave up on them, Line 6 all the way!

[Lastaccountgothacked]

1.20

[MattGregoryGuitar]

The end bit sounded like 'Direct Injection' by Greg Howe

Pretty spectacular playing by Rob here - just a shame his guitar sounded out of tune

[midianoctav]

yup..just another copy of hd500..

and a copy wont sound better..

[KitRamsey1]

god boss sucks so much

[cast390]

A true world class pro,he can make anything sound great!!

[TheBlackxism]

2:34 dragonforce ne1??

[AKanyon]

never was the fan of Boss, but always a big fan of Rob!!!

[Danyerd]

Digital as a mother fucker.

[joseluis5150]

What effect is he using on minute 1:58?

[Lavatain]

@joseluis5150 Harmoniser

[cast390]

@joseluis5150 sounds like a pitch shifter,smart harmonizer

[Maxx61]

The Zoom G5 eats this for breakfast. Boss has been resting on their laurels for five years now. This is little more than a GT-10 with ketchup on it.

[sakitakungtyan]

Rob Marcello rocks!

[trevinor3]

repackaged gt10 . . . save your money . . .

[freeus333]

is that Make it china??

[gennarogiura]

nice playing!!



[nemtall]

Robs The Man. Talent

[projectgoatse]

I love Rob Marcello - he's a real musician. If you watch his previous NAMM performances from years ago, it's clear that he's continuing to progress as a guitarist and keeps getting better and better. Much more listenable than that annoying fuck of a clinician Johnny DeMarco who has been spamming the same riffs for years and years.

[nezbutz]

@projectgoatse And he was in Danger Danger!! But I disagree about Johnny De Marco, his demos are awesome!! He likes to say 'awesome' a lot and 'all right!' and talks to his effects units like he wants to make love to them! Very funny!

[lestervai]

Boss! y u no still XLR outs?

[cheesedude5050]

I absolutely hate shredding like that.

[projetil]

acho que naum vo ver uma pedaleira legal,depois que eu comprei um ampli valvulado nada mais me satisfas com o lance de simulação

[Cheeseseven7]

He's like "this multi-effect pedal does cool things" and then shreds so hard I couldn't pay attention to the pedal.

[knikk77]

FGN guitars!

[ephiphone35]

Of Course Marcelo has to say is a good pedal like he said for the gt-8 and gt-10... Cause Boss is paying him but at the end is not like the pod hd500 in sound more realistic!!! IS THIS A DEMO or SHOW OFF? ITs sucks... he should us show a variety of styles and chords not just shredding which it doesnt make sense at all!!! I HATE BOSS NOW FOR ITS SLOW COMPETTITIVE OF MULTI_EFFECTS!!! Open you eyes BOSS! LINE 6 IS GETTING BETTER !!!

[jmflip84]

Cool Song Tho! I'd like to have the music haha! However, doesn't show much new.. looks more limited compared to the GT 10 as far as the stomp pedals on board.. and the features he was using are already accomplishable on the GT 10

[Jayguitardude]

I really would have like to have a demo of an actual guitar sounding tone like a fender style into a class A tube amp and a tube screamer. Not this mario brothers tone.

[MrDISCOBRITCHES]

Oh, and I almost forgot. FUCK YOU SWEETWATER. I left two messages with your sales department because I had questions about my Boss RC-50 and no one has called me back.

[theverbalrelease]

Gotta love how Boss almost always covers up their product demos with backing tracks so you can't really hear the clear tone of the item.

[odaxne]

@theverbalrelease THIS.

[asaph123]

@theverbalrelease boss gt-100 looks more like zoom G3 (split screen) + pod hd500 (hardware, design) in one.

[racistathiest666]

@theverbalrelease Gotta love how these days men appear more feminine with bitch like "attributes" by gossiping or critiquing people, places or things without a more competitive or tangible alternative to their bitching, but just bitching or complaining alone. Sounds like theverbalrelease is a classic example of today's kind of "men."

[SeanWallaceGuitar]

Sounds pretty awful. Good job Boss. Why is this guy even demoing the unit? Yngwie hasn't been cool for thirty years.

[spacemonkeyzass]

boss totally dropped the ball here. no dual processors.. nothing really new.. no pc editing inter.. and the amp modeling wasn't what I liked about my gt-10 at ALL. LAME. Back to the drawing board, Boss. Try looking at line 6 and maybe you'll at least be heading in the right direction.

[mrwolfsang]

man, the shredding must come back to the main stream! it's so much fun!

[aheefner]

Rob is a monster player...I see him at the B-3 Guitar shows, and he is always super nice, and super playing any guitar they hand him. You have to hear these things in person, as any equipment on YouTube may not sound true to what it is.

[metallica5252]

axe-fx II

[bassman50fender]

Sound sucks. Effects may be great, but the amps still sound fake. I play a Zoom G9.2tt because of this. I looked into the GT-10 before this came out, but it looks like I made a good choice, seeing how nothing changed. I wish I could say I liked it, but I don't.

[dan0311]

I.can.not.believe that they STILL didnt include a computer editing interface with this thing. Dual screens - hooray, but they just don't get how badly Line 6 is kicking their asses in this department and what a huge convenience it is to edit on the PC. I keep my GT-10 on a TV tray most of the time because I am constantly tweaking my tones and my knees can't take the up down up down. Boss,what is WRONG with you people????? Give us a computer interface!!!! It's not too late.

[MrDISCOBRITCHES]

I am beginning to wonder if the people marketing this thing have a clue what amp modeling is. They obviously read reviews where people complained about it and then told Rob to say that the new one was better. This thing probably kicks ass but they can't figure out how to demo it. For starters, start with a clean tone with amp sim and add effect to it. Don't just start shredding using only one preset. I want to hear some of these new amp sims.

[DrEviscerator666]

Damn I didn't know Jerry Cantrell could Shred! 

[Maddaxe111]

It's nice to watch a video from NAMM with quality audio. Good work SW.
