The Future of Learning Guitar

When you have the Boss Pocket GT, learning guitar with YouTube is easier than ever.

Acting as a miniature hardware hub, the Boss Pocket GT provides the sound engine and audio connections while the BOSS Tone Studio companion app features a YouTube browser that streams audio to the Pocket GT. The app also boasts several editing tools for you to quickly and easily shape your sound however you want.

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.

Build Your Skills Faster

A series of powerful session tools are included in the Boss Tone Studio app to help you build your skills faster.

You can easily create YouTube song lists to recall and loop sections to focus on specific areas.

Jamming along to backing tracks and other songs on YouTube is also made easier thanks to the automatic user memory switching. For example, with this function, you'll get a clean sound for the verse, going into a crunch for the chorus and moving up to a high-gain drive when you reach the solo - all changing automatically in real time while the video plays.

Premium Built-In GT Amps and Effects

The Boss Pocket GT is equipped with the same sound engine found in the hugely popular Boss GT-1 floor processor.

As a result, the Pocket GT boasts over 100 world-class amps and effects in a process that fits in your pocket.

99 user memories are on board and feature ready-to-play sounds which you can customise however you want or you can start your own from scratch.

Furthermore, because the Pocket GT and GT-1 are in the same family, you can share amp and effects setups between each of the units via the Boss Tone Studio editors.

Tactile Hardware Controls

Adding to its intuitive simplicity, the Boss Pocket GT has a range of essential functions right there on the unit.

You can scroll through your user memories using a dedicated knob and easily tweak amp gain, effect levels and more with a quick press. There's even a built-in tuner you can quickly access.

Furthermore, remote control buttons are provided too allowing you to access YoiTube playback with ease.

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

While the Boss Pocket GT works great with YouTube, it doesn't end there.

Thanks to its Bluetooth connectivity, the Boss Pocket GT allows you to stream music wirelessly right to it so you can play along with your favourite tunes from virtually any music app.

An AUX IN jack is on board too so you can connect up a media player, drum machine or other devices you want to incorporate.

Furthermore, thanks to the Pocket GT's USB connectivity you can use it as an audio interface and record your guitar parts right into your DAW on your computer.

You can also download tonnes of fantastic patches at Boss Tone Central to inspire you and expand your performance palette.
