The Gigcaster 5 is a compact all-in-one audio hub built for musicians who livestream, teach, podcast, and create music-driven content. It packs premium connectivity, hands-on control, and a vibrant color touchscreen into a space-saving desktop design.Loaded with GT-1000-derived amps and effects that require no external pedals, you can quickly dial in the perfect tone for any application. You get 100 ready-to-play presets, 200 user slots for custom setups, a built-in tuner, and full support for hands-free control using footswitches, expression pedals, or a GA-FC/GA-FC EX controller (each sold separately).Two XLR mic inputs with low-noise preamps, wide dynamic range, and phantom power support let you capture vocals with clarity, then add polish with VE-series vocal processing like compression, pitch correction, reverb, delay, harmonies, or creative voice-transforming effects. A stereo line input makes it easy to bring in a keyboard, drum machine, or other instrument, and you can mix up to five sources simultaneously, including remote audio or background music.Bluetooth and USB audio channels offer flexible routing for guests, backing tracks, DAW playback, and more. Onboard mixing tools, ducking, and channel-by-channel sound shaping help you deliver polished audio in real time.Creative control extends through the Gigcaster 5 app, where you can load and fire off theme music, stingers, loops, and backing tracks using the touchscreen. Eight pads with eight banks provide 64 triggerable sounds, fully customizable to your workflow.As a 16×12 USB audio interface, Gigcaster 5 fits easily into a studio setup—record your stream, capture a live stereo mix, or use its latency-free effects as a front end for multitrack song production.Pro sound without the hassle, racks of gear, and cable spaghetti. Gigcaster 5 has everything you need and nothing that you don't.Boss GCS-5 IncludesAC adaptor: PSD seriesOwner's ManualLeaflet "USING THE UNIT SAFELY"Boss GCS-5 FeaturesAll-in-one USB interface solution designed for online musicians, music educators, podcasters, and music-focused content creatorsAdvanced audio and control features in a space-saving footprintPremium sound quality with 32-bit floating-point processing and 48 kHz sampling rateFive-channel audio mixer and numerous sound-shaping toolsHigh-impedance input for direct connection of a guitar or bassTwo XLR jacks for mics and stereo line input for electronic instrumentsMic inputs feature phantom power and high-grade preamps with low noise and wide gain range (+70 dB)Flagship-quality BOSS amps and effects derived from the GT-1000Dedicated vocal effects, harmony, and voice transformer functions derived from VE vocal processorsReady-to-go preset libraries provide optimized sound processing for guitar, bass, singing, and speakingDedicated stereo channels for remote guests and mobile device audio streamed via Bluetooth®4.3-inch color touch display for intuitive controlIndependent faders and mute buttons for the five audio input channels and master outputOnscreen effect pads for customizable live effects controlTalkback function for discrete communication between presentersDucking function automatically lowers the background music volume while speakingTwo headphone outputs with dedicated EQsHeadphones 1 output supports a headset mic or inline micAlso works as a 16x12 USB audio interface for multitrack recording in music production softwareRuns on USB bus power* or included AC adaptorSupports hands-free operation via optional BOSS footswitches, expression pedals, and a GA-FC/GA-FC EX foot controllerDedicated Gigcaster 5 App for sound pad playback, parameter editing, backup, and audio file conversion*Minimum requirement for USB bus power: 5 V/3 A.Boss GCS-5 SpecificationsSampling Rate48 kHzAD Conversion24 bitsDA Conversion32 bitsProcessing32-bit floating pointUSB AudioInput: 16 chOutput: 12 chBluetoothA2DP, HFPEffect PatchesGUITAR: 200 (User) + 100 (Preset)SING: 200 (User) + 30 (Preset)TALK: 200 (User) + 30 (Preset)Number of EffectsGUITAR: 1 CH (DISTORTION, PREAMP, EQ, NS, PEDAL FX, FX1, FX2, FX3, DELAY/REVERB)SING: 2 CH (COMP, NHANCE, DESS, EQ, NS, PITCH CORRECT, HARMONY, FX1, FX2, FX3, DELAY/REVERB)TALK: 3 CH (COMP, ENHANCE, DESS, EQ, NS, FX1, FX2)CONSOLE: 5 CH (COMP, ENHANCE, DESS, NS, FX)OUTPUT: COMP, REVERBNominal Input Level(Adjustable)GUITAR INPUT: -10 dBuMIC INPUT 1, 2: -40 dBuINST INPUT (L/R): -10 dBuInput ImpedanceGUITAR INPUT: 1M ohmsMIC INPUT 1, 2: 5.6 k ohmsINST INPUT (L/R): 100 k ohmsNominal Output Leve: lMAIN OUT L, R: -10 dBuOutput ImpedanceMAIN OUT L, R: 1 k ohmsPHONES 1, 2: 47 ohmsRecommended Load Impedance: MAIN OUT L, R: 10 k ohms or greaterDisplay: Color Graphic LCD (480 x 272 dots) Touch screenControlsCH 1--5 EDIT buttons, OUTPUT EDIT button,CH 1--5 MUTE buttons, OUTPUT MUTE button,CH 1--5 MONITOR buttons,EFFECTS button, SOUND button,CH 1--5 faders, OUTPUT fader,Headphones 1, 2 knobsConnectorsGuitar jack: 1/4-inch phone typeMic 1, 2 jacks: ..
