BOSS GT-1 review BOSS GT-1 £185 The latest Boss GT is the smallest yet, fitting into your gigbag and putting modelled amps and effects under the feet of a new generation of players Words Trevor Curwen Photography Neil Godwin What You Need To Know 1 Aren’t the other GT series floor pedals huge? Yes, up until now the GT units have been quite large as they needed the space to fit in the footswitches, but this one has a footprint that’s 305mm by 152mm with just three footswitches and a treadle.
