Exceptional Effects
With over top-quality 150 effects from the vast BOSS library, you’re able to realize nearly any sound you can imagine with the GX-100. Numerous overdrives and distortions are available, plus BOSS classics like Slow Gear, Octave, and more. There’s also a diverse range of mod effects, delays, and reverbs, along with many effects specially tuned for bass. And with the send/return jacks, you can integrate favorite stomps or your amp’s effects loop into the GX-100 ecosystem.

Touch and Go
Sound creation and on-the-gig editing are simpler than ever with the GX-100. The vivid color touch display offers intuitive control of patch and effects selection, parameter tweaks, signal chain adjustments, and much more. The display works in harmony with the four knobs and page buttons on the panel, providing a frustration-free experience that keeps your attention focused on the music.

Custom Command
The GX-100 offers deep real-time control with eight custom footswitches and an expression pedal with toe switch. They come configured for patch/bank selection and patch-specific control, but you can freely reassign them to meet your unique needs. Switching into Manual mode provides direct stompbox-like control, and you can go even further with external control via footswitches, an expression pedal, or MIDI. There’s also a jack to remotely switch channels on your amp with memory selection or an assigned footswitch.

Go Deeper with BOSS Tone Studio
Using BOSS Tone Studio for macOS and Windows, you’re able to tweak every GX-100 parameter, save sounds, and organize Live Sets for different gigs from your computer. And with the optional Bluetooth® Audio MIDI Dual Adaptor, you can wirelessly adjust settings on the gig from the BOSS Tone Studio app on your mobile device and stream backing music from your device’s library.

I've tried several multi-effect units up to the 550 CHF price range. I still have the Hotone Ampero (which I find fantastic for its price), but for live situations, I needed something larger that is more robust and has more effects. I have found the BOSS-GX to be the best choice after a lot of research and testing. Pros: -- Fantastic sound, even the factory presets are very usable --Top of the line Boss effects (I especially needed a usable intelligent harmonizer) --Assignability of various functions to various foot switches is outstanding --Very usable size for the switches and the expression pedal --Color touch screen makes adjustments much simpler Cons: -Display set-up still a bit old-school (until one gets the hang of it, after that no problem) -No unbalanced output (but most venues would have a DI box; aI ordered one and it fits into the (the separately purchasable) case of this effect unit --If you are into having a large number of different cabs with the built-in amps, that you may want to upload more IRs than what's available as factory preset. (I just went with the default tab for each amp, and found them very good). Overall, after testing several other models/brands in depth, this is the one that I am keeping and I am very happy with it.
