BOSS is proud to announce the release of its latest guitar and bass effects processor, the GX-10. Packing the advanced sound engine and touch display from the acclaimed GX-100, this new unit offers a premium effects experience in an ultra-portable form. Whether you’re on stage, recording at home, or practicing daily, the GX-10 is ready to deliver superior tones and versatile control.
With a focus on portability without sacrificing quality, the GX-10 is ideal for players who want a smaller, travel-friendly rig without giving up the robust sound and functionality they’ve come to expect from BOSS products. Equipped with multi-mode footswitches, an integrated expression pedal, and USB audio connectivity, the GX-10 bridges the gap between professional live performance and easy desktop recording.
Top Features of the GX-10
The GX-10 isn’t just compact—it’s packed with features designed to enhance every aspect of guitar and bass performance:
- Wide Selection of Amps and Effects: Choose from 23 guitar amps and nine bass amps, including modern high-gain models like X-Ultra, X-Optima, and X-Titan, all powered by BOSS’s latest modeling technologies.
- 170 Effects Options: Shape your sound with a wide variety of effects, from classic BOSS tones like Slow Gear and Octave to a range of overdrives, mod effects, delays, and reverbs. Dedicated bass effects are also available, making it perfect for all types of players.
- Touchscreen Interface: The GX-10 features a 4-inch color touch display, allowing players to easily drag and drop effect blocks, reorder effects, and switch between parallel and series signal paths with just a swipe.
- Customizable Control: The onboard footswitches and expression pedal can be programmed to control a variety of parameters, giving players flexible real-time control during performances.
- USB Audio Interface: With USB-C connectivity, the GX-10 can be used as an audio interface for recording directly into your DAW, providing studio-quality sound in your home setup.
- Bluetooth Compatibility: With an optional Bluetooth® Audio MIDI Dual Adapter, users can edit sounds wirelessly via their mobile device, bringing even more convenience to live shows and rehearsals.
Real-Time Control, Studio-Quality Sound
The GX-10’s compact form doesn’t mean compromising on control. With its multi-mode footswitches and assignable parameters, players can switch between amp settings, control effects, and activate the tuner without skipping a beat. The integrated expression pedal is versatile by default, acting as both a volume and wah pedal, but can be fully customized to control almost any aspect of your sound.
Thanks to BOSS Tone Studio, players can access an even wider range of options. This desktop and mobile app allows for in-depth editing and lets players load custom speaker cabinet impulse responses (IRs) for a truly personalized tone. BOSS Tone Studio also connects users to the BOSS Tone Exchange, a growing online platform where players can download professionally designed sound patches and share their own custom settings with a global community. And for those who already own a GX-100, all of its Livesets are compatible with the GX-10, ensuring a smooth transition for existing users.
Versatility for Every Type of Player
With its flexible amp and effects selection, the GX-10 is a great fit for any style of music. Whether you’re a metal guitarist needing high-gain tones, a blues player looking for rich, expressive overdrive, or a bassist seeking dedicated low-end effects, the GX-10 has something for everyone.
The inclusion of send/return jacks means you can easily integrate your favorite external pedals or run the GX-10 through your amp’s effects loop, giving you total control over your signal chain. The unit’s portability, weighing just a few pounds, makes it a perfect option for musicians who are always on the go, from regular gigging to recording sessions and everything in between.
