Boss EURUS GS-1 Synthesizer E-Gitarre

New directions for innovative sound tinkerers

Every guitarist is on his own personal sonic journey, constantly refining his skills and never stopping to search for the perfect gear combination to unleash his full potential. The EURUS concept marks a whole new creative path for adventurous sonic explorers, expanding the traditional guitar experience with powerful, expressive BOSS technologies. The EURUS GS-1 is the result of this revolutionary approach, combining a high-quality instrument with groundbreaking guitar synthesis technologies that have been refined over a period of more than four decades. With its depth, inspirational power and limitless playing fun, the EURUS GS-1 takes your musical vision to unprecedented dimensions.

A premium guitar with limitless expressive possibilities:

The EURUS GS-1 combines BOSS' extensive expertise in guitar technology to give you and your music virtually endless creative possibilities. It combines the sound, feel and detail you'd expect from a professional guitar with a polyphonic BOSS synthesizer engine that delivers a breathtaking breadth of sounds in the analog synth tradition to catapult your musical expression into a new dimension. Built-in Bluetooth® technology lets you customize your synth sounds wirelessly, plus control a host of performance parameters with ease.

Sound and feel simply electrifying:

The EURUS GS-1's synthesizer engine delivers exceptional sound quality and natural response based on more than 40 years of BOSS synthesizer design experience. The six internal memory slots are already filled with ready-to-play sounds. The GS-1 Editor gives you plenty more to choose from. You'll also find a Synthesizer Control knob on the guitar that gives you a wide range of dynamic expression options when playing. The synthesizer sounds play smoothly and respond precisely to your guitar techniques without latency or trigger issues interfering with your musical flow.

Discover a new world of custom sounds via Bluetooth:

Unlock the full sonic power of the synthesizer engine in your guitar with the GS-1 Editor app for iOS and Android mobile devices. Access different synthesizer types and variations to create sounds and customize them in detail via parameters like Tone, Resonance and more. You can also assign a variety of parameters to the guitar's Synth knob and save your favorite sound combinations to your device for quick loading into the EURUS GS-1 before a performance.

Professional detail and playability:

The EURUS GS-1 is made in Japan with professional-grade details and components for the highest level of playing enjoyment. The modern offset body design is not only a feast for the eyes, but also perfectly balanced. The slim neck features a compound radius fingerboard for high playing comfort and accommodates 24 frets for an extended tonal range. High-quality Gotoh hardware provides smooth tremolo action and tuning stability based on a two-point fulcrum bridge and height-shifted locking machine heads. The two humbucker pickups were designed specifically for the EURUS GS-1 and deliver a flexible sound including split-coil tones in the intermediate positions of the 5-way switch.

Seamless Expression:

The guitar and synth electronics in the EURUS GS-1 operate completely independently, allowing you to seamlessly switch between the two voices. One moment you're playing a normal guitar - the next moment you flip the switch and change to the previously selected synth sound. Plus, the two 6.3mm jack outputs allow you to play out and edit the guitar and synth sounds separately.
