Powered by COSM modelling, the GS-10 Guitar Effects System will be making its US debut ar this year's Summer NAMM show. This new product from Boss includes all-new amp models, overdrive/distortion modelling, independent compression, and more. Effects can be edited via front-panel knobs, or using bundled software. And recording is easy, thanks to a built-in USB port and convenient onboard speaker system.

The GS-10 has the same COSM effects found in the BOSS GT-6 and GT-6B, plus a selection of all-new guitar and bass amp models, bringing the total count to 48. Each effect section is clearly laid out on the front panel--complete with rotary knobs and a Tone Modify function for easy tweaking.

The GS-10's COSM effects include new guitar amp models like "T-AMP" and bass amp modelling, plus wah modelling and a variety of overdrive/distortion models. You'll also find essentials like delay, chorus and reverb, plus two "FX" processors with everything from flanging and phasing to unique effects like Harmonist, Defretter, Rotary and Uni-V (independent compression and EQ are also provided). Once you've crafted your tone, record it in digital quality using either the coaxial digital output or the built-in USB port so you can interface directly with recording software - single USB cable is all you need to transfer 24-bit digital audio to your computer.

The GS-10 also comes bundled with editor software that makes editing the effects easy. All effect sections can be seen and tweaked from one convenient screen. In addition to the editor, you also get Cakewalk Music Creator Softwaref or Windows, providing everything you need to start recording music on a PC.

With the GS-10's onboard speaker system, there's no need for external monitors and cables. An Auxiliary input is also provided, making it possible to play along with a CD player or drum machine.
