Luckily, since it’s a USB 2 connection, you know it’s not going to be drawing a huge amount of power. Intonation is the measure of how in-tune the guitar string is across the length of the fretboard and a guitar with badly set intonation will get more and more out of tune as the string is shortened when you play. the argument is "35 milliseconds latency is no worse that standing 35 feet away from your Guitar amp at a gig. If you’re totally new to USB recording, digital FX in general, or just want a “plug and play” solution to make some noise, the GT-001 definitely isn’t a good choice.

We advise you to update to a currently supported browser (such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox) to improve your security, speed, and overall experience. The hub still feeds into the same USB bus on the system, so the signal from the keyboard is going through the hub, into the same “hardware place” (for simplicity) where the GT-001 is connected. BOSS tone central is a library service offering additional contents for many BOSS products, download the BOSS tone studio application for powerful editing software and connect to the internet to download any of the free contents from the ever growing collection. So while guitar players might cringe at the light plastic feel of the GT-001, us synth players might actually prefer it.The GT-001 also has a stereo aux input, perfect for connecting a smart phone or drum machine for jamming when you’re not connected to your computer. Not only great as a dedicated guitar multi-effects unit, the GT-001 also functions as a USB audio/MIDI interface. Powered by newly developed BOSS technology, this cool and convenient function is great fun when working with Roland's free Guitar Friend Jam software, and also lets you experiment with using your guitar to create MIDI sequences in music production software. SCAMMER WARNING: Due to a spate of recent scam attempts (some successful) recently, if you're doing a deal in the classifieds, ONLY USE PAYPAL GOODS AND SERVICES UNLESS YOU KNOW THAT INDIVIDUAL PERSONALLY.

Switching effects using the buttons on the unit itself (rather than the software on the computer) would cause a delay to be introduced in the signal, up to a whole second. You might go for a USB microphone and plug that directly into the computer, or you might go for an XLR and get a separate interface, but this shouldn’t be a thing!In addition to the guitar input, an XLR mic input is included for capturing vocals or acoustic instruments, and the built-in USB audio/MIDI interface provides a direct connection for creating music. Reverbs, EQ, OD, Delay, Chorus, Comp, and a few other effects were changed to sound better with a synthesizer.

But all of the various dials, choices and options make sense and can be tweaked individually to your liking.Just today I found a used Boss GT-001 effect processor and thought the size and form factor was perfect for the Nord Lead 2. Dual effects chains allow you to create sophisticated tones with two amps and series/parallel effects routings, providing pro-level performance for all your music productions.

With google I discovered that it must be possible to get it to work (adding a few lines to a driver and rebuild the driver) but I did not try this. The Boss GT-001 takes the multi-effect modeling power of its COSM engine and puts it in an easy-to-use desktop unit.If you're familiar with Roland's COSM modelling, you'll know what to expect here: patches built from two effects chains with amps and a huge choice of effects types all geared to give a fully produced guitar sound - and not just a static one at that. This is not a quick process but we believe every instrument should go through our process to acheive an exacting standard of playability. While the Boss GT-001 is not setup for synths straight out of the box, it can handle them very well once you go in and tweak the patches. The controls are few, but the logical, intuitive menu system and quick-access softkeys make things direct and simple in terms of editing every parameter for a chosen patch.
