Product Information

Both versions are equipped with a colour touchscreen that provides visual metering facilities along with control over audio processing parameters and routing, and plenty of hands-on control is also available thanks to physical faders, encoders and buttons. Although the smaller size means the hardware pads are not present, users are still able to trigger sounds and control effects thanks to the inclusion of virtual pads which utilise the device’s touchscreen. Pricing & Availability 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. Livestreaming, podcasting, and audio/video content creation are essential for musicians to build their brand and promote their music online. The Gigcaster series eliminates hassles with connecting multiple pieces of audio gear, providing everything needed for pro results in one convenient interface. Ready-to-go preset libraries provide optimized sound processing for guitar, bass, singing, and speaking

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs. If you’re recording directly to the SD card slot, you can drag the audio files across to your computer afterwards and into a DAW or other editor to work on them. Though we don’t find any issues streaming directly into Cubase, you might arguably reduce the complexity of a session by using the SD card – if nothing else, it allows you to do your recording without even needing a computer, which can be a bonus if you’re travelling or are short on space. I currently control it with a Boss FS-5 2 button pedal but I've decided to get the GA-FC 6 button pedal to have control over more functions with my feet. This combined with the Gigcaster 8's space-saving design means you have one neat solution for your music needs - no extra equipment or heavy rigs needed! With its ready-to-go preset library of optimised sounds for guitars, singing and speaking, the GSC-8 lets you simply plug in, play, and create!

The GCS-5 Gigcaster's mic inputs feature phantom power and high-grade preamps with low noise to ensure sparkling clarity and vocal articulation.
