Main Features

Newer, More Powerful BOSS COSM Effects
Totally new effects made possible by an original, high-performance processor that relies on the latest BOSS technology.
Utilizing COSM technology that transcends the realm of mere modeling, these effects achieve sounds with an even more natural
performance feel and richer expressiveness than previous designs.
Create Tones Intuitively with EZ TONE
The EZ TONE provides an innovative user interface that enables you to create your own tones with absolutely no special
knowledge of effect parameters needed.
Sound making on the EZ TONE is truly intuitive. EZ TONE shows you the way to create the sound with both graphical icons and
intuitive terms such as "SOFT" or "HARD." Choose the basic sound you want according to the music genre, song imagery,
performance-style. Then you can shape the sound by just moving the cursor on the TONE GRID toward "SOFT" or "HARD," "for
SOLO" or "for BACKING."
Now everyone can easily create his or her own tones the instant a sonic image comes to mind.
Phrase Loop Feature
The Phrase Loop feature lets you record and play loop performances, whereby you continue adding new sounds as the loop
plays.
Up to 38 seconds of recording time means you can switch effects as you add rhythm, solos, and other performance touches to a
recorded loop.
You can also take phrases recorded beforehand without effects and then apply the perfect tone, adding the effects as you play
back the phrase.
A Wide Variety of Tones with Parallel Chain
The GT-10 features a "Parallel Chain" function, which allows you to split the effects "chain"—the sequence of effects used in
processing the sound—to create two independent chains. Each chain gives you full freedom to arrange effects in any order you
want.
You can, for example, use separate chain settings in the left and right stereo channels to produce an effect just like a twin guitar
sound. Additionally, using a dynamic-type COSM amp, you can even switch chains with your picking dynamics.
Works Like a Compact Effects Processor
Operating the GT-10 is like using compact effects processors. It's easy to make super-fast tone adjustments, even in the middle of
live performances. Just select an effects type, then directly adjust the four optimal parameters with the front-panel knobs. Of
course, you can also switch the display to show all effect parameters to create tones with even more exacting detail.
High-Visibility Indicators
Foot pedal indicators and other lights all utilize brightly lit LEDs. Clearly visible in any situation, whether it be in a live outdoor
concert or up on a pitch-black stage, these indicators help ensure accurate operation.
