Product Description
The Boss GX-1 packs pro-level tones and features into a super-portable unit that’s perfect for practice, recording and gigging. With authentic GX Series amp and effects algorithms under the hood, you’ve got endless creative options at your fingertips. A crisp colour display, intuitive controls and Gear Suite tools make building sounds quick and easy. Tough, powerful and compact, the GX-1 is loaded with inspiring tones for everyone — from beginners finding their sound to seasoned players looking for a no-compromise travel rig.
Pro tones for every guitarist
GX-1 takes its DNA straight from the flagship Boss GX-100, making killer tone accessible to all. You’ll find 23 AIRD amps and 140+ effects from the legendary Boss library, with flexible FX routing, eight simultaneous blocks, plus a volume pedal and noise suppressor. In short, you can craft setups for any style or song with ease.
A smooth operator
Editing patches or building tones from scratch? The Boss GX-1 makes it simple. Its hexagonal effect buttons give you a clear visual layout — tap to toggle effects, hold to dive into detailed parameters. You’ve got 99 ready-to-play presets and 99 user slots for your own creations too, so inspiration is never far away.
Dial it in fast with Gear Suite!
The GX-1 introduces Gear Suite, which is a game-changer for quick tone building. Each amp and effect type comes with factory-tuned Gear Suite settings, so you can load professionally-tuned parameters instantly. Want to tweak? No problem — save your favourites for instant recall whenever you need 'em.
Ready for the stage
Once your tones are locked in, take control with advanced real-time options. Assign footswitches and the expression pedal to anything — from simple on/off to multi-parameter sweeps. Add external control via wired or wireless connections, and power it your way with batteries, an AC adaptor or USB. Wherever you play, the GX-1 is ready.
