BOSS GT-1000CORE review BOSS GT-1000CORE GUITAR EFFECTS PROCESSOR £599 CONTACT Roland UK WEB www.boss.info/uk 1 2 What You Need To Know 1 I thought the GT-1000 was a massive floorboard? It is, but Boss identified a need for a version that could fit comfortably into a compact pedalboard or sit unobtrusively on a desktop. 2 Is it just as powerful as the big guy? Absolutely.

review BOSS GT-1000CORE THE RIVALS The most obvious rival to Boss’s GT-1000Core comes from the most obvious name in the amp sim and effects business, Line 6. The similarly sized HX Stomp (£399 street price), packed with Helix sounds, will just as easily slot into your pedalboard or sit on your tabletop for USB-connected recording.
