BOSS has recently released system updates for the company’s leading amp/effects processors for guitarists and bassists. The Version 4.0 (GT-1000) and Version 2.0 (GT-1000CORE) updates add three expressive high-gain guitar amps, additional bass amps, new guitar effects, and more.
Available as free downloads, these substantial updates reflect BOSS’s dedication to the continuing development of its flagship-class GT platform.
The newly developed high-gain guitar amp types spotlight the continuing evolution of the advanced AIRD (Augmented Impulse Response Dynamics) and MDP (Multi-Dimensional Processing) technologies from BOSS:
- X-Ultra: Inspired by a classic British stack amp modified with a modern multi-stage gain circuit. MDP provides intelligent control of the clipping in each gain stage, realizing extended dynamic response that’s not possible with traditional analog designs.
- X-Optima: With many high-gain tube amplifiers, it can be difficult to strike the ideal tonal balance between chords and single notes. X-Optima features an innovative new gain algorithm that takes full advantage of MDP’s adaptive frequency shaping, providing well-defined rhythm sounds and rich lead tones that sit perfectly in every mix.
- X-Titan: This articulate amp type is perfect for aggressive metal styles driven by heavy riffs. MDP delivers sharp, tight sounds on the low strings while retaining fatness and body in the high ranges, making it well-suited for down tunings and extended-range guitars with seven or eight strings.
Now available to download for free, the GT-1000 and GT-1000CORE updates also include six new bass preamps, two new drive effects, a new tuner display mode, and under-the-hood enhancements.
