BOSS GX-1 Guitar Effects Processor

Pro Guitar Tone, Anywhere You Play

The Boss GX-1 is an ultra-portable guitar effects processor that puts 23 expressive AIRD amplifier models and over 140 effects under your feet — ready for practice, recording, and performance anywhere. A high-resolution color display, intuitive hexagon-shaped effect buttons, built-in expression control, and seamless Bluetooth and USB connectivity make the GX-1 a complete, performance-ready guitar rig that adapts to any environment.

Expansive Amp Modeling & Effects

Built on Boss's AIRD (Augmented Impulse Response Dynamics) technology, the GX-1 delivers amplifier tones with natural feel and dynamic response — translating pick attack and playing nuance with convincing realism. 23 amp models cover clean, edge-of-breakup, and high-gain voices. 140+ effects span modulation, delay, reverb, and more. Eight simultaneous effect blocks, plus dedicated volume pedal and noise suppression, let you build layered, performance-ready patches that stay clear and controlled across genres. WAV speaker IR loading is also supported.

Intuitive Interface for Fast Tone Shaping

Hexagon-shaped effect buttons organize effects by category for instinctive activation and editing. Deeper parameters are accessed with simple long presses. The high-resolution color display presents signal flow and edits clearly at a glance. 99 factory presets and 99 user memories make switching between starting points and custom tones quick and reliable.

Gear Suite Presets

Gear Suite pairs each amp and effect category with professionally voiced parameter sets, giving you complete, musical sounds with minimal adjustment. Refine and save them into user slots for instant recall — no rebuilding patches from scratch between songs or styles.

Expressive Control & Flexible Connectivity

Three assignable footswitches and a built-in expression pedal with toe switch provide hands-free real-time control of effects, volume, and multiple parameters simultaneously. Optional wired or wireless controllers (FS-1-WL, EV-1-WL) expand expressive possibilities. Bluetooth supports wireless playback and editing via BOSS Tone Studio. USB-C enables direct DAW recording and mobile device integration. Power via 3× AA batteries, AC adapter (sold separately), or USB bus power.
