Create awesome tone with COSM and MDP amps and effects

The BOSS GT-001 comes equipped with the same amp and effects models from the BOSS GT-100 Version 2.0 processor. You can even share patch data between the two. And you’ve got a ton of sonic flexibility – dual effects chains let you create innovative patches with dual amplifiers and series/parallel effect chains. You can even switch between effects chains according to your playing dynamics, giving you an incredible range of expression just based on how you play your guitar.

A compact solution for recording electric guitar, acoustic guitar, and vocals too

Part of the reason that the GT-001 is such a smart solution for home recordists and desktop producers is that it’s equipped with an XLR input in addition to the instrument input. It’s perfect for recording vocals and acoustic guitar. And the GT-001 even has specially-designed effects patches optimized for vocals and acoustics. So even though the GT-001 was designed with portability and ease of use in mind, it really is a powerful and flexible solution for a variety of recording tasks.

Play your software synths with your guitar, thanks to built-in guitar-to-MIDI conversion

We’re constantly asked by Sweetwater customers for an easy way to use a guitar to play MIDI instruments. The BOSS GT-001 just made it even easier. Just plug in your electric or acoustic-electric guitar, and the GT-001’s built-in guitar-to-MIDI converter lets you play your favorite monophonic software synths and samplers directly from your guitar – no special pickup required!
