BOSS DROPS THE MULTI-EFFECT BOMB

Tabletop GS-10 Guitar Effects System Boasts Powerful COSM Effects, USB Audio and More

Nashville, July 18, 2003BOSS is proud to announce the GS-10 Guitar Effects System, a tabletop guitar multi-effects processor with powerful COSM guitar and bass effects, onboard speakers and a USB audio interface for simplified recording on a computer. With up to 11 simultaneous effects¡Xincluding 48 types of amp models and separate compression and EQ the GS-10 is BOSS' most advanced multi-effect processor ever for guitar and bass players alike.

The GS-10's multi-effects are based on the best-selling GT-6 and GT-6B processors, but with entirely new guitar models like T-AMP and a selection of incredible COSM bass amp models. Other COSM effects include wah modeling and a variety of overdrive/distortion models. The GS-10 also includes separate delay, chorus and reverb, plus to FX processors with everything from flanging and phasing to unique BOSS effects like Harmonist, Defretter, Rotary and Uni-V. There are also independent compression and EQ sections, making the GS-10 an extremely flexible multi-effects processor.

Each effect section is clearly laid out on the front panel - complete with rotary knobs and a convenient Tone Modify function for quick editing on the LCD (custom GS-10 editor software is also included). For recording applications, the GS-10 includes a coaxial digital output, plus a USB port that enables users to record into their favorite software (or the bundled Cakewalk Music Creator software) with a simple, single-cable connection. Onboard speakers eliminate the need for external monitoring, while Auxiliary inputs make it possible to play along with a CD or drum machine.

Connections to the GS-10 include a 1/4-inch Guitar/Bass input, a Microphone input (1/4-inch or XLR type), a stereo Auxiliary input (RCA type), stereo 1/4-inch outputs, a dedicated Guitar Amp output, stereo Headphones output, coaxial digital output, USB port, MIDI In and Out, and an AC inlet for the supplied AC adaptor.
