The BOSS GT-5 is a powerful floor-based multiple effects unit designed to offer the broadest variety of effects while maintaining superior sound quality. It utilizes Roland's innovative COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling) technology, which emulates iconic guitar amplifiers from history, allowing guitarists to achieve both traditional and avant-garde sounds. With a total of 28 effects including chorus, tap tempo delay, reverb, harmonist, and an acoustic guitar simulator, the GT-5 allows for up to 13 simultaneous effects with programmable order. Guitarists can customize their sound using 150 presets and 100 user patches that are fully MIDI compatible. Additional features such as sound-on-sound recording and auto fade provide limitless creative options while its rugged metal casing makes it durable for touring musicians.
