BOSS's Flagship Multi-Effects Floor Processor

Double your power with BOSS’s new GT-8 floor-based mega processor. Loaded with twin COSM® modeling engines, it brings unprecedented performance and tonal control to the stage and studio. The Dual COSM amp section provides two discrete amp channels; you can layer and manipulate each engine independently to create wildly expressive sounds. Thanks to the Solo Switch function, ripping lead sounds can be immediately activated — perfect for cutting through the mix.

Dual COSM Amps

The GT-8 boasts the latest top-quality COSM amp models with complete dual channel configuration. Explore new sonic dimensions by combining two amp models, or by switching between them during performance. Select a high-gain amp such as Metal Stack and set it for deadly distortion. Then add clarity to the raw power by using the Studio Lead amp model on the other channel. Prepare to be amazed as you tap into the innovative Dynamic mode, where two channels can be controlled based on picking strength. Transition smoothly from clean to mean by simply picking harder or softer.

Solo Switch

Step into the spotlight with the new Solo Switch feature. Each of the 46 COSM amp models contains a specially programmed variation that’s optimized for soloing. Simply click the Solo switch to activate the lead tone, and off you go — it’s like having a separate solo channel on every COSM amp!

Extreme Effects

Forty four effects categories are built into the GT-8. Up to 13 effects can be used simultaneously to create complex textures and routings. All of your basic effects and much more are covered — compressors, reverbs, choruses, EQs, COSM -modeled wahs, and much more. There are 200 preset patches built into the GT-8, plus 140 user patches for storing your custom amp/effects creations. As a special bonus, there’s a selection of synth waves and instrument simulations onboard, including sitar, plus acoustic simulators and an acoustic processor. From subtle to sizzling, where will you take your tone?

  • BOSS’s most powerful floor multi-effects processor
  • Dual COSM® Preamp with Solo Mode for instant tone boost
  • Control amp channels and effects by picking dynamics
  • Independent effect loop
