The Guitarist Channel's video: Boss GP-10 User Demo with Editor

A demo of the new GP-10 guitar processor from Boss. This video aims to give an insight into the powerful capabilities of the GP-10. I’m using the Boss Editor as this gives the best visual representation, however, most editing can be done on the unit itself. The recording was done over the GP-10's USB output into Logic 9. I’m using a GK3 equipped Epiphone Les Paul Standard. In the first part of the video I do a comparison of the actual magnetic pickups of the guitar and the modelled pickups via the GK3 by selecting Elec gtr and LP. This is done both clean and through an emulated amp. The pickups fitted to the Epi are Iron Gear Dirty Torque and Blues Engine. Differences could be down to the type of pickup Boss has modelled. I take a quick look at the effects section and at the instruments modelled, i.e banjo, sitar, acoustic, synths etc.. I also look at the altered tuning capabilities then finish up by demoing some of the patches available via download and some of the standard presets. NB: everything is being done in real time. Having problems with tracking on the OSC synth so have left this for another demo maybe. This is only scratching the surface of what this can do. You can use a normal guitar input and use it as an upfront fx and amp modeller. Put it in the effects loop as a multi-effects. Plug it straight into a power amp and have all options available providing you have a GK3 equipped guitar. You can also just use it for down tuning by selecting the modelled pickup of your type of guitar and bypassing everything else. You can then instantly tune your guitar to anything you like at the push of a switch. Nearly all parameters are assignable to the expression controller or one of the CTL switches on the unit. Has additional CTL socket for say a Boss FS-6 footswitch for more control. It also has an eight track USB interface. This will will record a stereo pair and each of the six strings onto its own separate track in your DAW. This enables re-amping as well as re-guitaring! Also has pitch to MIDI over USB so you can play soft synths etc. on your Mac or PC. A few limitations are: no standard MIDI connection. Non standard USB compliant interface. No option for 4CM. Hours of fun to be had! Thanks for watching. Preset demo at: 13:28
