The new BOSS GX‑1 and GX‑1B were awarded the prestigious ‘Best in Show’ award during the recent NAMM Show. This is a wonderful recognition for this innovative series, which is already attracting a great deal of interest from both the guitar and bass communities.

Versatile and adaptable
With this award, the GX models are praised for their powerful sound engine, user‑friendly interface and professional expansion options. For guitarists and bassists looking for a flexible and modern solution for both studio and stage, this award confirms what many musicians already suspected: the GX series sets a new standard.

According to the jury, the series stands out for:

  • its musical, true‑to‑nature sound quality
  • its fast workflow
  • its wide palette of effects
  • its strong integration for live performance and recording

For BOSS, this award is tangible proof that the GX line fits perfectly with the needs of modern players — and that the market is ready for a new generation of multi‑effects processors.
