GT1 Man connects to your Boss GT-1 guitar effects pedal via a USB cable. It allows direct control of most of the GT-1’s extensive features. Amp models, boost types, effects devices, can all be selected and set from your device (phone or tablet) to create your desired tone.

Tones can be saved on your device as ‘patches’ for later use, and subsequently re-loaded into the GT-1 with ease. The number of patches that can be saved on your device is limited only by the available storage.

Tone Studio Library (TSL) files can also be loaded to the GT-1.

GT-1 settings can be ‘tweaked’ and saved ‘on the fly’ making GT1 Man an ideal tool for the home guitarist, as well as practice sessions, studio work, on-stage performances etc.

Bluetooth devices (eg foot switches) can be used to control the main features.

Set Lists of songs can be loaded which will ensure that the correct patch is loaded for each song as you progress through your performance.

Connection Requirements:
In order to connect your phone or tablet to your GT-1 you will require:
- A USB cable suited to your GT-1 (often sold as USB 'printer' cables)
- An OTG cable adapter
- Your Android device must support OTG / ‘Host Mode’ (most modern phones do)
- OPTIONAL: A compatible Bluetooth MIDI/USB adapter for Bluetooth connection. See web site:

Features

All GT-1 devices and effects are supported.

All parameters for a given effect are available on one screen. Effect types can be quickly and simply changed from a 'drop down' list

A connection status light ensures that you know your GT-1 is still connected correctly.

All changes made directly on the GT-1 (knobs) are reflected on the GT1 Man screens and vice versa.

Patches
You can save the current tone as a named patch on your phone or tablet. Patches can subsequently be re-loaded to your GT-1 simply by tapping on the patch file. The number of patches that can be stored is limited only by the available storage on your Android device.

SetLists
SetLists of songs, in order of performance, can be created - with each song ‘linked’ to the associated patch. As each song title in the list is tapped the corresponding patch is loaded into the GT-1. Great for live performances.
