■Bass Effects with COSM modelingIn addition to its amazing amp models, the GT-6B provides aworld-class lineup of effects, including COSM-powered compression effects modeled after four famous compressors. Other effects include Auto Slap, sound-on-sound looping, andBOSS's best synth-bass sounds with incredible tracking.

■Versatile Performance ControlsPilot the GT-6B with ease and enjoyment, thanks to its friendly,ultra-intuitive interface with analog-style knobs. Inject extracolor and tonal animation into your performances with the GT-6B’s built-in expression and control pedals.

■Dual COSM AmpsFeel the power of the GT-8’s dual COSM amp modeling engines.Explore new sonic dimensions by combining two amp models,or by switching between them during performance. Tap into theexpressive Dynamic mode, where two channels can be controlled based on picking strength. Transition smoothly fromclean to mean by simply picking harder or softer.

■Solo SwitchEach of the GT-8’s 46 COSM amp models contains a speciallyprogrammed variation that’s optimized for soloing. Simply clickthe Solo switch to activate the lead tone, and off you go — it’slike having a separate solo channel on every COSM amp!

■Extreme EffectsForty-four effects categories are built into the GT-8. Up to 13

effect blocks can be used simultaneously to create complex textures and routings. All of your FX bases are covered — compressors, reverbs, choruses, EQs, COSM-modeled wahs,and much more. There are 200 preset patches included, plus140 user patches for storing your custom amp/effects creations.

■ConnectivityThe GT-8 is stocked with enough I/O optionsto satisfy even the most demanding pro. Inaddition to its stereo analog outs, the GT-8offers a 24-bit coaxial output for ultra-cleandigital transfer, an Amp Control jack forswitching between two amp channels on anexternal amp, an external expression/controlpedal input, effects send and returns, MIDI inand out, and a headphone output.

■Flexible FX RoutingAnother area where the GT-8 stomps the competition is in itspowerful effects routing. Internally, the 13 FX blocks can beconfigured in any order you desire (for example, you can freelyassign an equalizer after a distortion effect or before it). And if

you’d care to take your tone “outside the box” and incorporatesome external effects into the GT-8’s signal path, you can do sowith the Ext Loop send and return. Flexibility in routing is thename of the game.

Two switches in one, BOSS’s new FS-6 combineslatch- and momentary-type switching into one unit.With two switches conveniently housed side-by-side, the FS-6 allows each switch to be set for latchor momentary operation. Pick the configurationthat best suits your playing style and setup.

Works with All BOSS Pedals!The BOSS BCB-60 Pedal Board is a convenient wayto set up and transport all your compact effects. Theunique padded interior can becustomized to fit a range of gear,while a built-in AC adaptorcranks out 1,000 mA of power — enough to run up toseven devices!

Switch Guitars or Amps with a Stomp!The AB-2 2-Way Selector can be configured as a twoinputs/one output selector or a two outputs/one inputselector—letting you freely switch between two instruments or two amplifiers, for example.

High-Quality DIThe DI-1 is a high-quality direct box with crystal-clearsound for transforming high-impedance, unbalancedinstrument outputs to the low-impedance, balancedinputs of a mixing console.

UnlatchedThe FS-5U is a metal-cased momentary “unlatch”-typefootswitch that can be connected using an ordinaryguitar cable.

LatchedThe FS-5L is a metal-cased latch-type footswitch with aLED to indicate status. It can be connected with a standard guitar cable.

Pro HeadphonesThese state-of-the-art closed-ear headphones are comfortable and superb-sounding. They feature a 40 mm-diameter driver with neodymium magnet, and aversatile 1/8” stereo mini-plug with screw-on 1/4” adapter.

The New Multi-Purpose CUBEVersatile and portable, the new CM-30 CUBE Monitor delivers 30 watts of audio punch through a high-quality6.5” coaxial 2-way speaker with stereo preamp. The CM-30is ideal for home-studio and wide-ranging monitoring applications thanks to its compact and rugged design.

Gender-Bending Vocal Effects!The VT-1 is a unique device designed for altering and effecting the human voice. It provides everything from voice“thickening” to a full ±1 octave pitch shift, allowing users toconvincingly change their vocal gender. Unlike conventionalpitch shifters, the VT-1 affords separate control of pitch andformant, so the user’s voice can be altered without the“chipmunk” effect.
