Main Features
Analog distortion circuit
The distortion effects in the СХ-700 use analog circuitry,
providing the most powerful distortion available from BOSS.
Preamp Built-In
The built-in digital preamp simulates the response of a guitar
amplifier. Simulations are provided for a variety of classic
guitar amps, allowing you to create the perfect sound for your
system.
Speaker Simulator Built-In
The built-in speaker simulator is especially effective for line-
level recording. You can specify the type of the speaker box
and the location of the microphone, and use the result for line
recording.
Шиглїлсїеч Buttons
Buttons corresponding to each of the internal effects are
offered right on the front panel, allowing you to see the on/
off status of each effects processor at a glance.
Designed for Compact Efficiency
All effects can be connected in any order desired, including
external effects. Thanks to this, you can set up the unit to suit
your particular style, and play just like you would with
individual compact effects units.
Operation is also efficient and uncomplicated. Directly specify
the effects processor you wish to use, then tweak its param-
eters to create just the sound you want.

A "Harmonist" Generates Four-Note
Harmony
The harmonist function adds to the sound of the guitar a
harmony of up to three additional notes geared to the key
(scale) in which you are playing.
Chromatic Tuner Built-In
The built-in chromatic tuner displays the string names, and
can even handle tunings lowered by a half step. During
tuning, the illuminated buttons also indicate tuning devia-
tion, allowing you to tune even when at a distance from the
GX-700.

Memory provides a total of 200 effect sounds (100 user, 100
preset). Effect sounds can be recalled instantly from the front
panel or by using MIDI program changes.
A Roland FC-200 MIDI Foot Controller (optional) is ideally
suited for use with the GX-700, and allows you to select effect
sounds and control parameters in real time.
