Control effects and more with the optional EV-1-WL Wireless MIDI Expression Pedal/FS-1-WL Wireless Footswitch So, we’re really getting a lot more sounds than meets the eye; it even has quite specific harmonizers and effects, revealing an attention to detail that is to be welcomed. Sounds But, here we are: they’re great, with plenty of useable presets straight out of the box you’ve got enough clean/crunch/hi-gain amps, as well as a whole host of drive, modulation, pitch, filter andtime-based effects to play with.The effects are pretty correct and can help to give a dash of extra realism to the sounds we try to emulate. And as you can probably tell, we can save our own presets and make our own sound libraries with the help of the application. Pros and Cons The sessions feature that allows you to play along with YouTube videos is a great way to practice. Being able to slow things down, set a loop, and have a preset assigned to each session makes it really easy and fun to practice. There is one flaw with this system though, many YouTube videos cannot be added to a session because the video has been "embedded-restricted" by the creator. I have found that almost every "official" video of a song cannot be played in a session. Most instructional videos or covers can be played, but not the originals. You can still stream the audio with Bluetooth and play along but you won't be able to use the session features. Just a heads up. For more control and the ability to make more detailed edits to the huge amount of inbuilt effects, you can use the free Boss Tone Studio app. You can also set specific markers anywhere on the timeline of the video, by using the Sessions Player function within BTS, which will change tone/settings handsfree. This means you can concentrate on the video lesson, performance and playing, as opposed to distracting yourself in trying to do a million things at once. Don’t do this, unless you want to find yourself in a tedious spiral of resetting/switching off Bluetooth and rebooting your device. Connect to the audio side, and it’s plain sailing. The phrase ‘RTFM’ springs to mind...

A Center Cancel switch is also on board so you can instantly reduce the volume of vocals and guitar solos to perform them yourself. Bluetooth, USB Audio and More It works via Bluetooth and has an internal battery, and we will only need the guitar cable and headphones. At first glance, it doesn’t sound bad, does it?Battery charging time: Approximately 3 hours. To charge the unit, use the USB port of a computer or a commercially available USB power supply adaptor (5 V, 500 mA or higher). Supplied from the USB port Current Draw 500 mA Expected battery life under continuous use Approximately 4 hours I've been chasing great headphone tone for decades, and I've tried scores of products from dozens of big brands. This is the closest thing I've heard over headphones to the sound of a great amp and speakers captured in the studio. There is no discernible latency, and playing through it feels like an amp.

Overall, you are able to do everything it is supposed to do, although some physical controls on the unit (e.g., “fast forward”) don’t do the expected function on this desktop version of the application. AF method (Adaptive Focus method) is a proprietary method from Roland & BOSS that vastly improves the signal-to-noise (SN) ratio of the AD and DA converters.The part dedicated to sound editing is divided into two sections: the physical one (where we can control some basic parameters, and the Tone Studio app, which is frankly very complete. In fact, the whole family of Katana and GT products enjoys this flexibility of effect editing, which is really good in the whole Boss family. Bluetooth Ver 4.2: Profile Supports A2DP (Audio), AVRCP (Remote Control), GATT (MIDI over Bluetooth Low Energy) These figures will vary depending on the actual conditions of use. Battery charging time Approximately 3 hours

There’s also an automatic chord feature for when you’re not looking to create your own stuff, but are looking to master your existing favourite song. Although we knew that this is a product designed from its conception to be paired with our smartphone, with a laptop in an OS environment (that is, a Macbook), it worked. However, there are some differences, such as that the desktop version of the Boss Tone Studio app must be controlled by connecting via traditional cable and not by Bluetooth. Fortunately, this is not the first time for Boss, and they have already started with a product that is not far from what they were looking for. It really serves as a “companion” for our YouTube practices, offering us a complete multi-effects that doesn’t sound bad at all and remote control that will help us get the most out of our sessions.The layout of the controls is quite correct, but I can’t help but have the feeling that a product like this, tailored to the use of Youtube and practice, could have had less of the nineties look. With everything seamlessly working together, you won't taste time fiddling between apps and devices - it's all there ready and waiting to help you learn guitar and have fun jamming with videos.
