Boss GX-700, USED
The Boss GX-700 is a rack-mounted guitar effects processor that delivers a powerful array of effects and amp simulations designed for both studio and live use. Released in the mid-90s, the GX-700 was ahead of its time, offering high-quality digital effects paired with Boss’s advanced COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling) technology. Its compact, rack-mount format makes it a space-efficient choice for guitarists seeking a wide range of tones in a single unit, while still maintaining deep control over their sound.
At the core of the GX-700 is its COSM-based amp modeling, allowing guitarists to emulate a variety of famous amplifier tones, from classic tube amps to high-gain modern stacks. These amp models can be further customised with detailed tone-shaping controls, giving players the flexibility to dial in the exact sound they need. In addition to amp modeling, the GX-700 features a vast selection of effects, including reverb, delay, modulation effects like chorus and flanger, and more specialised options like pitch shifting, harmoniser, and dynamic filters.
One of the standout features of the GX-700 is its programmability. With up to 200 user presets, guitarists can store their favourite tones and effects chains for easy recall during performances or recording sessions. The unit also includes MIDI compatibility, making it easy to integrate into a larger rig or control external gear, while an assignable expression pedal input provides real-time control over parameters like volume, wah, or pitch bending.
The GX-700’s rugged, rack-mountable design makes it ideal for studio setups or touring musicians who prefer a more centralised effects unit. The intuitive control panel, with its large LCD display and easy-to-navigate interface, allows players to tweak their sounds quickly and efficiently. Whether you’re looking for pristine cleans, aggressive distortion, or creative effects for experimental sounds, the Boss GX-700 offers a comprehensive toolset for shaping your tone in a professional and versatile package.
