Boss delivers super accessible and compact entry-level GX-1 Guitar Effects Processor with a really smart quick access control interface

This is the most accessible Boss GX Series unit to date - which has some concessions (no touch screen), but instead has a super handy 9 buttons Control Strip - which gives you instant access to key functions, where you press-hold to edit those underlying settings - otherwise it’s just a really neat interface to more easily turn on and off all the key effects.

The GX-1 benefits from the usual robust Boss construction, which should stand up to all the usual rigours of touring. This is a relatively compact board - but with all the key high quality Boss Effects onboard - including 23 Amp Types and over 140 Boss Effects.

The pricing on this unit is highly  appealing - typically available at less than 250 credits.

For someone considering their first Multi-FX Pedal - this is surely a prime candidate - with exceptional ease of use.
