Al Krow Posted January 1 Posted January 1 (edited) Interesting. Looks like a stripped down version in terms of having purely bass focussed patches, and buttons to directly access these, a smaller screen, but otherwise very similar to the GX10. Wonder if Boss abandoned this as the GX10 covers everything this does and a fair bit more? Or if it's still planned for release? Just spotted that same eBay site has a Boss GX-1 for guitar also "ex demo". Makes me wonder if this might be a clone / scam, if neither are on the Boss website? Edited January 1 by Al Krow Quote
Woodinblack Posted January 1 Posted January 1 They only seem to sell roland items, and their vat number is real, so probably real, even if it is a private house. Maybe they just get demo stuff 1 Quote
MichaelDean Posted January 1 Posted January 1 I got my GX-100 from them but on Reverb and was able to register the warranty on Boss' website with them appearing in the list of suppliers. I'd trust the seller. Very odd pedal though. I wonder if it'll be a NAMM release? Stripped down GX unit to maybe compete with Valeton prices? You wouldn't create retail packaging for a prototype. 1 Quote

Guess I'm surprised that they've allowed it to go on sale ahead of general release though? Seems unusual in terms of commercial practice? Quote
Cjord Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago I’m the person who bought this, I wasn’t allowed to talk about this until today. It was mistakenly for sale on eBay and I snapped it up. I've had almost two weeks with it and here’s my thoughts. Two outputs but no option to split signals, no di out valeton has two. No fx loop again the valeton has one. only 3 fx slots that can be any effect but reverb and delay aren’t able to be swapped for another usable fx, why? Plus points for the pitch shifter, much better than my digitech drop. The drive sounds are good using the sansamp one at the moment. Amps and cabs are great. Great as a practice tool definitely with built in Bluetooth and headphone out. It’s nice to see boss catering to bass players, just don’t understand why some of the most useful tools for a bass player have been omitted. Honestly it sounds good, I’ve used it at practice and the band liked it but preferred my normal setup. Am I going to keep it? Probably not. It’s just missing things that I find useful. What’s keeping it with me right now is the pitch shifter and the fact it’s much more compact than my board. Now that the tone studio and app are out I’ll be playing with that before I make my final decision on it. 2 Quote
