IN ADDITION IF IT'S NOT PLUGGED IN AND HAS BATTERIS IN IT YOU MUST REMOVE THE GUITAR CORD WHEN NOT IN USE OR YOU WILL DRAIN THE BATTERIES. **Q: Can I use this with other pedals on a board in a chain?** A: The Boss GT1 has a mono line in and mono/stereo lines out so I imagine you could add it to a board. It’s really a nice stand alone unit. I’m not sure where you would put it in the chain? Perhaps run your guitar through the Boss GT1 into your amp input and run your pedal board through your effects lines in/out **Q: Is this something that you use for background music for an like rap do you have to have an instrument for this** A: We use this for any kind of music. We use it with a guitar **Q: Can you attach more pedals to it?** A: Yes you can. I suggest buffered pedals in line into the input after the guitar. It also has a connection (most likely 1/4” stereo jack input) for an expression pedal. I run my GT1 into a Boss FV 500 volume pedal, out into my Boss VE8 with a FS 5U unlatching pedal connected to the VE8. Works great! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tone Factory *by on Reviewed in the United States November 11, 2025* I'm really amazed at how much this product offers at such a reasonable price. Sound quality is excellent - once you set the proper Output Select value, anyway. Do this first; it makes a huge difference in sound quality. After that, you'll probably find that a fair number of selections in the default patch library are quite useful, with more providing a good starting point for (almost) any tone you're seeking. Editing is easy and this unit really encourages you to experiment. I'd personally like the default patch output levels to be higher (increasing volume can make a huge difference in tone quality) and, of course, MIDI, but whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned pro, there's an awful lot to like here. I've been using Boss pedals for decades, and I have a lot of them - and this one is highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Boss is great. You can't go wrong with this pedal. *by on Reviewed in the United States January 24, 2026* Easy to learn. Sounds great and does have great options. I know different amps you get different sounds. If you run the pedal as a pre amp it sounds great. I also run it through my amp to add options. Both ways is fun and you come up with some killer riffs. There is a lot of competition when it comes to pedals. I went with Boss because they always had that sound I like and I can get. Several great distortion options. I'm s sucker for great distortion. You will have to get filmiliar with it to like it or you will never play on it if you're not electronically inclined. Like my first processor in the early 90's. I was to lazy to learn it so I never really played it. Gave it away and I regret it today. It's not hard to learn. Read everything, go over it several times if you have to. You will appreciate it. I use this every time I play. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sick Pedal *by on Reviewed in the United States December 4, 2025* I have absolutely no complaints on this boss pedal. Best thing I have bought in my guitar playing time other than my Gibson lol. Wish the two cannot be compared. Anyway everything about this pedal is sick. From the operation of every function and the fact you can edit every single effect to your own liking. The computer software is actually one of my favorites you can download all kinds of effects off the app once you download it to your computer. Side note it works very very well very easy to use. Boss products are top of the line anyway. But in my opinion this one beats all those little tiny petals then you would have to build a board for. This has all of that in one unit and for the price is dumb not to get it.
