Product Information

This bright and generously proportioned display is the heart of the Gigcaster 8, and it's how you access its more detailed features. It affords huge "tweakability" for all of your inputs via a very intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface - something that's absolutely invaluable in a live broadcast, especially if you're doing it solo, like most of mine are! Mic inputs can be easily configured for singing, dialogue or console-style processing that's appropriate for synths, drums, acoustic instruments or any other source you might want to connect. There are reverb, delay, modulation, and even special effects presets for things like radio and telephone vocals. These effects are not just for musicians - they're great for adding interest, humour and drama to your live content. Buy with confidence: We're the only UK guitar retailer to offer a 3-year warranty & extended Christmas exchange as standard. Effect Patches: GUITAR: 200 (User) + 100 (Preset), SING: 200 (User) + 30 (Preset), TALK: 200 (User) + 30 (Preset) Bottom line, I'm really surprised Boss missed the opportunity with this and question if it should carry the Boss name. Do I love it? Yes, I kept it. I still recommend it for solo singing guitarists. Guitarists and bassists can directly connect an instrument and play with flagship-level amps and effects derived from the GT-1000 Guitar Effects Processor. Dedicated vocal effects from the popular VE series allow users to sing with effects like compression, pitch correction, delay, and reverb, and it’s even possible to dial up harmonies that automatically follow a set key. Effects are also available for speaking—including fun voice transformer effects—along with console effects to enhance the sounds of connected sources.
