Boss GT 1000 / Core Users - Patches and Ideas

[SumOne]

Anyone new to the Core, a couple of simple (but perhaps not obvious) things:

 

- In/out settings: Set your input level correctly. You might also want to check your 'output' and 'sub out' settings. 

- Tuner: when on it, click < or > to get to the screen to set it to Bass. 

- On effects chain 'MST' click > to select 'BS mode' to 'on'. 

- Make a blank template as a starting point for your presets.

Another couple of things that caught me out:

- no AIRD preamp in the chain = no cab sim/IR. If you’re using an external preamp or 4cm this is annoying. Only work around is to use an A/B divider, preamp block in B path and mix set to 100/0.

- Stuff in an inactive path of a divider isn’t muted. If you have something noisy like an external Fuzz on a divider path, even if that path isn’t active you’ll still hear any noise. You can use an assign to drop the level on the mix block when that path is bypassed to fix it.

Also just generally getting to know assigns opens a lot of doors. Understanding how to assign parameters to a wave/saw can let you do some crazy stuff like these:

 

for example using the Slicer and setting “pattern” to rapidly change back and forward over time results in the random stutter effect heard here.
