Pocket GT is the new multi-effects for guitarists from Boss. Quality and technology in portable size.
Boss is one of the brands with the best reputation in the field of effects for guitarists. Since the OD-1 was launched in 1977, its sound quality and reliability have marked the sound of countless musicians.
A lot of time has passed since then. We’re already on version 3 of the Boss Overdrive pedal (although there is a reissue of the original called OD-1X), and there is a whole world of tools and effects for 6-string lovers.
He Pocket GT What concerns us today is these modern tools that make the life of any guitarist easier. On the one hand, we have 108 effects and amp simulations in a small box that fits in your pocket, with a rechargeable battery and headphone output so you can play wherever you want; and, on the other hand, you have integration with YouTube via Bluetooth in the Boss Tone Studio app (which also gives access to Boss Tone Central) to play over your favorite songs, audio interface for your recordings on the computer, conversion to 32 Bits,… Well, whatever you can think of to be able to play with authentic Boss sound anywhere.
All this with the quality of any pedalboard from the Boss GT range! You can even change presets with the Boss GT-1.
