Description
The Boss GX-1B Bass Effects Processor is a streamlined, go-anywhere unit made for bass players who want top-tier tone in a compact format. Whether you're just getting started or you're a seasoned player looking for a reliable grab-and-go setup, the GX-1B gives you access to a wide range of amp models and effects tailored specifically for bass. With its easy-to-navigate layout, rugged build, and deep tone shaping, this processor is a strong fit for practice, recording, or live gigs.
Inside, you're working with 16 AIRD amp types and over 130 BOSS effects, optimized for low-end clarity and punch. You can run eight simultaneous effects blocks, plus a volume pedal and noise suppression, making it easy to build complete signal chains for any style. Gear Suite is a standout feature here-it lets you scroll through curated amp and effect settings with just a twist of a knob, and then save your own custom setups. There's also 99 preset slots and 99 user banks, giving you plenty of room to store your sounds.
Despite the small size, this thing offers serious control. You've got three assignable footswitches, an expression pedal with toe switch, and Bluetooth or USB connectivity for playing along with music or tracking into a DAW. It's battery powered, USB powered, or runs off an AC adapter, so you're covered wherever you are. For any bassist needing a smart, powerful rig in a portable package, this is one we can stand behind confidently.
