With adjustable effect order, eight simultaneous effect blocks, a volume pedal, and noise suppressor, you can easily create custom setups for any music style or live performance.

Smooth, Intuitive Operation
Whether you’re editing presets or building tones from scratch, the GX-1B makes sound creation frustration-free. Inspired by the GX-100 and GX-10 interfaces, its hexagon-shaped effect buttons visually represent sound categories. Tap to switch effects on/off or long-press to access detailed parameters. The unit comes with 99 ready-to-play preset memories and 99 user memory slots for saving your custom tones.

Build Sounds Fast with Gear Suite
Gear Suite is a powerful new feature for quickly dialling in amp and effect sounds. Each amp or effect type includes multiple factory Gear Suite settings, letting you recall fully tuned professional tones with the turn of a knob. You can also tweak parameters to taste and save favourites in user Gear Suite locations for instant access to your personalised sounds.

Freedom on Stage
Expand your expressive range in real time with advanced performance control. Assign the onboard footswitches and expression pedal to manage anything from simple effect on/off to adjusting multiple parameters simultaneously. For even more flexibility, the GX-1B supports wired and wireless external control. With three versatile power options - batteries, AC adaptor, or USB - you can practice and perform anywhere.

The GX-1B moves with your creativity. Connect via Bluetooth or USB to jam with songs or record directly into a DAW. BOSS Tone Studio provides powerful editing and practice tools, including the Session feature for playing along with YouTube songs and lessons with AB repeat and speed adjustment.
