Boss GP-10GK Guitar Processor with GK-3 Pickup and Cable

Full Description

Multi-effects & instant re-tuning

Incredible versatility for stage and studio playing, the compact GP-10 is both an instrument modelling processor and a powerful multi-effects pedal in one. Its multi-effects section features flagship-level COSM amps and effects, and these can be used with any guitar via a standard 1/4-inch cable. Plugging into the GP-10’s GK input with a Roland GP-compatible pickup and a 13-pin cable unlocks the instrument modelling section, opening a world of amazing sonic possibilities at home, on stage, or in the studio.

Inside the GP-10 is a wide selection of flagship effects derived from the GT-100. Most can be used with a normal guitar (without a GK pickup), allowing the GP-10 to do double duty as an effects processor for any guitar gig. Included are overdrives, distortions, mod effects, delay, reverb, and more – as well as intelligent harmony and other great effects. The on-board expression pedal can be used as a foot volume or effects such as wah, pedal/pitch bend and others.

A world of effects beneath your feet

In addition to instant tuning changes, using a GK-compatible pickup with the GP-10 allows you to change your entire sound at the push of a button. On hand are classic modelled electric guitar single coil or humbucking tones, as well as steel and nylon-string acoustics, basses, banjos, resonators, fretless guitar and even sitar! The GP-10 also includes an impressive analogue-modelled synth engine that powers an authentic emulation of the famous Roland GR-300 analogue guitar synth, and a super-fat OSC synth with two oscillators alongside many adjustable sound parameters. In addition, a selection of cool Poly FX deliver unique sounds only possible with GK processing, allowing you to take your playing into exciting new territory. Modelled sounds can be blended with your guitar’s normal sound, putting an infinite range of tonal options right beneath your feet.

Ultra-responsive COSM amps

A defining factor of any guitar’s sound is the amplifier, and the GP-10 is filled with them. 30 different amp types are at your disposal, along with bass amps for modelled bass tones and a full range for acoustic sounds. Powered by custom BOSS DSP and the latest developments in COSM technology, the amps in the GP-10 deliver organic, responsive tone, with adjustable settings to vary the natural compression and playing feel. All the GP-10’s amps can be used with either normal guitars or those equipped with a GGK pickup.

Built-in MIDI interface & USB audio

The GP-10 features an on-board USB audio/MIDI interface, making it easy to record great amp and effect tones in your favourite DAW with any guitar. When you use a GK-equipped guitar, the GP-10 becomes an enormously powerful creative tool that expands your production capabilities beyond any standard guitar processor. For example, you can record the audio output for each of your guitar’s strings on separate tracks, either processed with the GP-10 or captured dry for later processing.

When you record unprocessed sounds in this way, you have the ability to not only re-amp the tracks through the GP-10’s amps, but to ‘re-guitar’ as well, using the GP-10’s instrument modelling to change the sound to anything you want. The guitar-to-MIDI function allows you to stretch your creativity even further, using your guitar to play soft synths, capture MIDI sequences, and input MIDI data into notation software on your computer.
