BOSS released system program Ver.2.00 for its GX-100 multi-effects unit in September 2024, according to the update history on the maker's support page¹.

The update adds three original BOSS high-gain amp types to AIRD PREAMP: X-ULTRA, X-OPTIMA and X-TITAN. It adds six bass amps to AIRD BASS PREAMP: STUDIO BASS, SILVER TUBE, CLASSIC BLUE, SOLID STACK, FAT TUBE and DARK DRV. Four microphones are added to AIRD PREAMP and AIRD BASS PREAMP: RBN121, BLEND A, BLEND B and BLEND C¹.

Seven effect types are added: SD-1, DS-1, SLICER, HUMANIZER, FEEDBACKER, SITAR SIM and AUTO WAH. Preset patches using the new types are added in slots P04-1 through P05-4¹.

The same update brings functionality changes. The memory name is displayed in the Play Screen when in Control Mode view, and when changing banks in WAIT1 or WAIT2 mode the memory name and destination bank number are displayed. COLOR MODE is added to HARDWARE SETTINGS, and the default value for Auto Off is changed to 20 minutes¹.

The update is carried out over USB with the unit connected to a Windows or Mac computer. BOSS warns that powering off the GX-100 during the update can leave it unable to start up in normal operating mode, requiring service¹.
