Boss Pocket GT Amp & Effects Processor

BOSS' innovative Pocket GT is a personal amp and effects processor that you can take literally anywhere! Serving as the perfect practice tool with integrated YouTube learning, this powerful yet pocket-sized device also pairs seamlessly with your smartphone or tablet - making it a fantastic "grab and go" lesson studio.

Designed to couple with BOSS' proprietary 'Tone Studio' app, you can easily craft your own guitar sounds, download patches and access deep-editing tools for precise tone-shaping. The app also allows you to watch YouTube content and create song lists, set loop markers and much more. And with automatic user memory switching - you can change up sounds as a YouTube video plays!

These features in conjunction with Bluetooth audio streaming, USB audio interface capability and a host of additional appointments make the BOSS Pocket GT one of the most comprehensive companions for guitar players on-the-go - especially with its rechargeable battery that offers up to 4 hours of continuous use.

The Most Engaging Way to Learn Guitar

BOSS Pocket GT supercharges your practice routine and makes learning guitar a fun experience! Essentially a mini hardware hub, the Pocket GT comprises the sound engine and audio connections, while the BOSS Tone Studio app boasts a built-in YouTube browser that can stream audio to the device and serves up deep tone-editing tools.

The advantage of this integrated approach is that it simplifies your setup and completely eliminates the need to constantly switch between apps - giving you more time to practice! It makes playing guitar hassle-free and enjoyable, letting you jam along to videos or lessons with studio-grade guitar tones.

Ergonomic Session Tools - Develop Your Skills Faster!

Tone Studio comes equipped with a variety of user-friendly functions that can refine your practice sessions, enabling you to develop your skills more efficiently. Create curated YouTube song lists for fast recall, and loop specific sections for isolated study - if a particular riff or solo needs some work!

Most impressive of all, the Tone Studio app can trigger guitar tone changes via its automatic user memory switching technology. So if you're jamming along to a backing track or song from YouTube, you configure the app to provide you with a clean sound for a verse, distorted tone for a chorus, and a high-gain lead sound with a delay effect for your solo - changing in real-time as the video plays!

100+ GT Amp & Effect Sounds

BOSS' Pocket GT features the same sound engine found in their popular GT-1 floor processor. This means that the device is armed with over 100 high-quality amp and effect sounds based on some of the industry's most coveted gear. 99 user memory slots are factory-filled with ready-to-rock tones, but can be easily customised or crafted from the ground up. Virtual amp and effect rigs stored in the Pocket GT can also be exchanged with the GT-1 via their respective Tone Studio editors - as they share the same DNA!

Tactile Hardware Controls

The BOSS Pocket GT may be small, but its simple interface puts an array of its most essential features at your fingertips. There's an adjustable knob that lets you scroll through your user memory patches, as well as controls that enable quick gain and effect level tweaks, and even a button that activates a handy built-in tuner.

In addition to these dials, there are remote control buttons that provide quick access to YouTube playback. And with a 'Center Cancel' switch, you can instantly reduce the volume of vocals and guitar solos in songs so that you can play them yourself!

Bluetooth Streaming & Aux In

The BOSS Pocket GT doesn't just work exclusively with YouTube; it's designed to accommodate wireless streaming via Bluetooth too. Pair it up with your smartphone, tablet or computer to jam along with audio. And if you want to play songs from a non-Bluetooth music player, an 'Aux In' jack makes this entirely possible.

USB Audio Interface

Pocket GT has one more trick up its sleeve... it's a USB audio interface! If you create music at home on a desktop computer, then you can make use of the BOSS Pocket GT to record guitar tracks directly into your DAW (digital audio workstation) via the device's USB port. This functionality goes hand-in-hand with BOSS' 'Tone Central' site too, where you can download some incredible guitar amp and effect patches.
