The Boss GX-1 packs serious amp modelling and effects power into a compact, travel-ready multi-effects pedal built for practice, recording, and live use. Drawing on the GX series sound engine, it delivers expressive AIRD amp tones and a wide range of effects with smooth, intuitive control via a colour display and dedicated effect buttons.
With flexible signal routing, multiple footswitch assignments, an onboard expression pedal, and wireless editing via Bluetooth, the GX-1 adapts easily to different playing styles and setups. USB connectivity, support for speaker IRs, and versatile power options make it a practical all-in-one solution for guitarists who want quality tone without bulk. At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the GX-1 is a smart choice for players who want professional sounds in a compact, go-anywhere format.
