The effects giant takes its multi-effects and amp modelling to the high-end

Having learned the lessons of the first wave of digital modelling, several gear giants have re-emerged on the scene with flagship floor modellers. Coincidentally, this comes just after the tech-metal crowd spent the better part of a decade rehabilitating the image of digital modelling with the Axe-Fx and Kemper. The Boss GT-1000 is Roland’s upmarket attempt to bring the Boss brand back into that conversation in style. After the success of the DD-500, RV-500 and MD-500 units, a floorboard combining the three should be a no-brainer. So then, does the GT-1000 deliver?

Physically, it’s a beast. Sleek and modern, Boss’s latest looks like it would survive a fall down a flight of stairs. To the rear, there’s the usual array of inputs and outputs, including a USB recording out and an input for an additional expression pedal. There are jacks to insert two mono pedals, or one stereo external pedal. There’s also a nifty send to allow for amp channel-switching.
