Carry more guitars, amps, and effects than you have time, money, or space to acquire and use with the BOSS BOSS VG-800 V-Guitar Processor. Utilizing a Serial GK divided pickup and pedalboard-friendly module, the VG-800 puts an arsenal of instruments, tunings, and tones at your feet. It's all here. Classic guitars, classic amps and cabs, classic stopms (yeah, BOSS has a few of those), and with the endless combinations available you'll be creating classics of your own.Whether you're chasing alternate tunings, layered textures, or synth-style tones that drift far beyond traditional guitar sounds, the VG-800 opens creative doors without requiring an addition to your house. You can dial in convincing models of classic electrics, acoustics, basses, and even more esoteric instruments like sitar and banjo, then stack or split them across strings using Dual Guitar and Dual Bass functions. Play a mellow jazz box on the top strings while thumping out basslines on the bottom ones, or blend two contrasting guitar types through one amp chain for a massive hybrid tone. Synth players might side-eye you when they hear bowed VIO textures or vintage GR-300 leads pouring out of your rig.With a streamlined interface and deep customization options, the VG-800 makes it simple to shape your dream instrument down to pickup placement and string behavior. For recording, the onboard USB interface lets you route modeled tones and dry signals into your DAW, or even re-process unfiltered string data later for that just-right part. Whether you're a solo performer, a session explorer, or just tired of dragging six guitars to rehearsal, the VG-800 gives you flexible control over your tone and performance without clutter or compromise.Boss VG-800 FeaturesNext-generation V-Guitar processor with the Serial GK interfaceLatency-free performance and independent string processing with divided pickup technologyHyper-realistic stringed instrument modeling, including electric and acoustic guitars and basses, banjo, and sitarDual guitar and bass functions for creating simultaneous combinations that are impossible with standard instrumentsFreely change the tuning for each string independentlyHarmony function for creating rich ensemble sounds with single notes or chordsDedicated guitar and bass modesIndividual string bend function for performing dynamic pitch effects with a footswitch or expression pedalMassive selection of amps and effects derived flagship BOSS guitar/bass processorsModeled synth sounds, including a detailed emulation of the classic Roland GR-300 analog guitar synthVIO Guitar and VIO Bass for creating unique sounds with bowed attacked characteristicsTRS send/return jacks for integrating external mono or stereo pedalsUSB-C® audio/MIDI interface and TRS MIDI I/OGuitar-to-MIDI and bass-to-MIDI functionsTwo external control jacks, each with support for up to two footswitches or an expression pedalGuitar input for using standard guitars and basses with VG-800 amps and effects (instrument modeling functions are not available with this input)Serial GK output for interfacing with products such as the GM-800 Guitar SynthesizerBOSS Tone Studio editor software (Windows/macOS)Download and share sounds on BOSS Tone ExchangeBoss VG-800 SpecificationsSampling Frequency: 48 kHzProcessing: 32-bit floating pointMemoriesGuitar mode: 150Bass mode: 150Instruments Types[Guitar mode]: Electric guitar, Acoustic, Dual guitar, Electric bass, Vio guitar, Synth[Bass mode]: Electric bass, AC bass, Dual bass, Electric guitar, Vio bass, SynthEffects: Over 150 typesNominal Input LevelGUITAR INPUT: -10 dBuRETURN: -10 dBuMaximum Input LevelGUITAR INPUT: +12 dBuRETURN: +7 dBuInput ImpedanceGUITAR INPUT: 1 M ohmRETURN: 1 M ohmNominal Output LevelOUTPUT (L/PHONES, R/MONO): -10 dBuSEND: -10 dBuMaximum Output LevelOUTPUT (L/PHONES, R/MONO): +7 dBuSEND: +7 dBuOutput ImpedanceOUTPUT (L/PHONES, R/MONO): 44 ohmsSEND: 1 k ohmRecommended Load ImpedanceOUTPUT (L/PHONES, R/MONO): 10 k ohms or greater (Phones: 44 ohms or greater)SEND: 10 k ohms or greaterControlsDOWN switch, UP switch, CTL1 switchINST button, EFFECTS button, MENU button, EXIT button, PAGE buttons1--5 knobs, SELECT knob, OUTPUT LEVEL knobDisplay: Graphic LCD 256 x 80 dotsConnectorsGK IN, GK OUT jacks: 1/4-inch TRS phone type (for BGK cable only)GUITAR INPUT, OUTPUT (R/MONO) jacks: 1/4-inch phone typeOUTPUT (L/PHONES), SEND, RETURN jacks: 1/4-inch TRS phone typeCTL 2, 3/EXP 1, CTL 4, 5/EXP 2 jacks: 1/4-inch TRS phone typeUSB COMPUTER port: USB Type-C(R)MIDI (IN, OUT) connectors: Stereo miniature phone typeDC IN jackPower Supply: AC adaptorCurrent Draw: 690 mAPower consumption when in OFF mode (when the power automatically turns off): 0.1 WAccessoriesAC adaptor (PSB-1U + AC Cord Set)Quick StartLeaflet "Read Me First"Rubber foot x 4Options (sold separately)Divided pickup: GK-5 (for guitar), GK-5B (for bass guitar)Serial GK cable: BGK-3 (3 ft./1 m), BGK-15 (15 ft./4.5 m), BGK-30 (30 ft./9 m)GK converter: GKC-DA, ...
