The GX-1B delivers professional-grade sound and features in an ultra-portable platform for practice, recording, and performance. Premium bass-tuned amps and effects supply endless creative fuel, while the high-res color display, intuitive effect buttons, and Gear Suite tools make sound creation a snap. Rugged, powerful, and remarkably compact, the GX-1B is filled with inspiring tones for every bassist, from beginning players to touring pros seeking an all-in-one travel solution with no-compromise sound.

Andertons in the UK have the GX-1 in stock now for £219. GX-1B is the same price with stock apparently due in on the 29th of January.

Um ... these pedals look, well ... I'm afraid I'm at a loss for words to put it politely.

The GX1 is growing on me. I was not sure at first but the more I think about it I think it is a good idea. I will keep you all posted if I get one.

Please do, would be good to hear your thoughts.
There's quite a lot of fairly cheap multi-fx units these days (Mooer, Valeton, Zoom, NUX, Hotone etc) so it's quite a crowded market.

GX-1B is also growing. The portability is what's appealing to me. I'll see if I can get to try one first to see if it is as flimsy at it looks. It is loaded with features, they just seem to be hard to tweak (but so is my beloved MS-3 so...).

Im certain the GX-1 and GX1B are packed with high quality effects absolutely its going to sound great, but I just gotta add my absolute favorite feature of their bass pedals is that the GT-6B actually has an analog XLR dry output. The effects it has are good enough to my ears, sometimes I just leave that in my demos but having that dry signal recorded means obviously I can just process it in post make sure bass in the right spot in the mix dynamics and EQ wise
