Significant learning curve to really maximize its potential. Likely won’t satisfy analog disciples. The Synth fx can be a bit OTT & erratic, if up too high. But great synth type sounds achieved with combining envelope, fuzz, octave, wave etc

You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail. This cookie stores user-like settings for the chat system provider, which are required for our online chat service. Trusted Shops CONS - you have to put some graft to get familiar with the software and best usage. There are instructions for the basic operation, using the buttons/dials on the unit but to get the full hang of the software for assigning parameters within patches, BOSS do not supply much info. There are some useful vids online though and chat on talkbass etc

The quartet of foot-operable features—including the right-side-located treadle that doubles as an expression pedal or wah—offer hands-free operation. Navigating the presets is achieved through the two footswitches labeled with up or down arrow symbols. (Pressing them simultaneously engages the tuner.) The CTL1 footswitch is the special-teams feature of the GT-1B. It’s an assignable switch that can take on different roles: engaging effects, tap delay, or providing a solo boost, just to name three. Stepping on the aforementioned switch and the neighboring “up” button activates the looper, which is then controlled with various taps of the CTL1. External switches and footpedals can also be connected with the GT-1B for expanded functionality. AF method (Adaptive Focus method) is a proprietary method from Roland & BOSS that vastly improves the signal-to-noise (SN) ratio of the AD and DA converters.

But I would like to have the option, and I never wanted to spend a ton of money. Ironically, I ended up wasting a lot more money on cheap, crappy individual pedals that were noisy or just plain bad, and that I ended up never using! However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.
