The Boss GP-10 is a compact guitar processor that allows you to change tunings and tones at the push of a pedal. Combining synth sounds, instrument modelling using Roland’s patented GK-3 pickup technology and top-of-the-line Boss COSM multi-effects, the GP-10 can completely transform the sound of your electric guitar.
With a GK-compatible pickup installed in your guitar, the GP-10 allows you to instantly switch to a number of customisable preset tunings. You can call up an open tuning for slide, a standard drop tuning for heavy riffs or create your own unique settings. The unit also allows you to change the actual tone of your guitar using instrument modelling technology, giving you access to a dream selection of classic guitars such as humbucker or single-coil equipped electrics, steel and nylon-strung acoustics and even bluegrass instruments and a sitar. As well as all these guitar-based options, the Boss GP-10 contains an impressive collection of analogue-modelled synth sounds and unique polyphonic effects, opening up endless creative possibilities.
On top of this functionality, the GP-10 features a range of COSM DSP-powered amplifier models including painstaking recreations of classic combos and stacks. These amp tones can be further enhanced by the addition of some of the most coveted drive, modulation, harmony, reverb and delay effects from the flagship Boss GT-100, making this an extremely powerful unit for any gigging guitarist.
In addition to this, the GP-10 is a fully-featured USB audio and MIDI interface, enabling computer-based DAW recording using only the pedal. However, when combined with a GK-compatible pickup, the unit becomes even more powerful, allowing you to change the instrument modelling settings after the fact. This level of recording potential has never been seen before and offers incredible creative scope.
If you’re a guitarist looking to widen your sonic horizons, the Boss GP-10 is a unique and exciting way to do it.
