Boss GT-1000 upgrade

[matybigfro]

So when do you think Boss are gonna replace the GT-1000 or core it's almost 10 years old (well in two years time).

 

Are we gonna get a GX-1000 in 2028, and if so what's the wish lists for this.

 

With the budget multi/modelling market now pretty flooded and new releases from fender, line 6, neural, fractal and Kemper raising expectations of modellers. What does Boss need to do to stake a place in the flagship market.

It wasn’t shiny, but it’s a lot less fragile and helps keep power requirements low enough to work off one Cioks output in its defence. It definitely isn’t cutting it though now and even on newer devices with touch screens their UI design is pretty atrocious.

 

Their amp modelling is solid though and eventually they had a really solid offering. The effects are solid although sometimes not the most exciting.

 

The thing that grated on me was the ecosystem, all the companion apps and patch sharing sites etc are so low quality and archaic. I also think the release cadence should be more consistent, a quarterly release with some fixes and bonus features/blocks keeps it exciting.

 

Honestly, not a clue what they’d do for a flagship to compete with the other high end offerings. I don’t feel like they’d go down the capture route personally.
