BOSS EURUS GS-1

The BOSS EURUS GS-1 is a high-quality electric guitar with BOSS's advanced synth engine built into the instrument itself. Instead of adding a synth pedal such as the BOSS SY-1 or BOSS GM-800 to a board, the GS-1 puts the synthesis under your fingers in the guitar, so the synth sounds track your playing directly.¹

What it does

BOSS describes the GS-1's tonal range as wide as a dedicated synth's: "EURUS GS-1 tones range from searing leads and analog brass to organs and bass synths." The company says all of these sounds "respond naturally to playing dynamics, vibrato, and string bending," which is the core appeal of a guitar with the engine built in: the instrument follows the way you actually play, rather than asking you to adjust to a tracker.¹

At the extremes, BOSS says the palette runs "from floor-shaking EDM basses to dreamy ambient pads and leads," so the same guitar can cover bass synth parts, pad work and lead lines.¹

The GS-1 sits in a line of BOSS guitar synthesis products that also includes pedals like the BOSS SY-200 and BOSS SY-1000, and it belongs to the broader family of synth pedals and guitar synths that BOSS has developed over decades.¹
