Despite the feeling of the pedal itself, the feature works well, controlling everything from wah to volume to modulation speed and more. Meet the SH-4d Synthesizer, a desktop powerhouse with hands-on workflow and deep synthesis tools for designing the sounds of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Thanks to its Premium BOSS sound engine, the GT-1 provides tone quality and sound-shaping ability that far exceeds typical compact multi-effects. The multi-effects processor offers a selection of dedicated controls and a built-in expression pedal, allowing for quick and easy adjustments to the effects. Loads of different tones and they're all of the highest Boss quality - it even including some original Boss sounds like their OD-1 overdrive pedal.

We found the companion software was simple to use, and there is an abundance (literally thousands) of patches and new FX to download to your GT-1.A range of control buttons are simply laid out for easy access, allowing both professions and novice musicians to enjoy the pedal to its fullest potential. The Boss GT-1 shows the huge leap in quality made in recent years when it comes to budget multi-FX processors. It seems for all its comprehensiveness it seems to be so hard wired, very digital and lack sensitivity. Can also be totally customised to suit individual player requirements, has a built in looper which is simple to work. Another thing of huge disappointment about the BOSS GT-1 is that it will not respond well to different guitars.

There aren’t quite as many options to choose from as on the Boss, but they are all tonally excellent.

It has it's limitations though : you cannot edit so deeply as the Boss nor can you switch on and off effects so easily with your feet but sound wise its up there and better than both of these. The Marshall sound is almost convincing for a while but then starts to feel one dimensional the more you use it and the Tweed amp is also convincing for a while as well. Inside a sturdy metal box not much bigger than the average adult's foot, Boss have crammed an Aladdin's cave full of tones, amps sims and effects, all ready to use and all extremely impressive sounding! Everything is in one package, even a guitar tuner so you do not have to purchase individual pedal boxes.
