Deberían mejorar pero por el momento excelente para editar rápido sin botones. ### 4/5 — Great functionality, not user friendly *2026-04-05* First off this is an amazing entry unit, but it also has an amazing live solution for people that don’t want to haul around their whole rig. It is frustrating that Roland continues to release these products in the United States with very minimal menus or user manuals. The most comprehensive menu or manual that they have is an HTML format on their website. I appreciate them posting the HTML manuals and PDFs., But it would be nice if they were included in the app or if there was an option to build out a tone stack via tutorial. I’ve accidentally saved over other presets or tried to edit a “P” channel instead of “U”. When it doesn’t save I try to troubleshoot the issue but instead of even saying “cannot override built in presets” it lets me edit the channel but not save it. This is confusing for the player. Directions would be nice. For that omission, it gets 4 stars instead of 5. ### 3/5 — 便利だけど不具合あり。誤作動怖い。 *2026-03-24* アプリから操作するタイプは初めてですが、操作は慣れればしやすく、音源再生もあわせて全部スマホ操作完結できて個人的にはよいです。（パラメ設定できないというレビューありましたが私はできました） ただ、プリセットの保存ボタンをアプリで操作してると 保存ボタンを押す直前に勝手に別のプリセットが読み込まれて誤って保存してしまう事象がありました… 頻発します。不具合というかそもそも仕様としてなんか変な気がします。 不安な人は結局本体操作がいいかも。 ### 1/5 — No Landscape Mode ? *2026-03-08* So far unable to open app in landscape mode? This is a deal breaker, planned on using GX1 in home studio and do editing on Ipad Pro 12.9 , No way I'm running that in portrait mode. Will be looking for different modelers that have editor available in landscape mode. ### 3/5 — When it works, it works great *2026-02-27* It works really great, but there are issues. First one, I was adjusting a user preset, U24, and after I would “write” it to save, it would revert back to the first preset I was on, U2, when turning on the GX-1. So I would have to use the drop menu of presets and go back to U24 and it would again show the name of U2. The second issue, after using it for over an hour and continuously having this issue it just disconnected from the GX-1 and couldn’t reconnect. I would have to start all over again with the pairing. This works well with the GX-1 but these issues really need to be resolved. ### 4/5 — One issue, but otherwise great *2026-02-23* Boss GX-1 BTS ### 3/5 — Terrible UI *2026-02-14* The app works well. But the UI is terrible for editing. Considering gt-1 is an entry pedal, the effects should have a description. Maybe a AI to assist with goods and bads. Boss team should consider phones have small screens. That being said, an edit preset mode should be used so all screen will be available and no irrelevant buttons (edit, sessions, library and so on). ### 5/5 — ペアリング方法 *2026-02-07* Bluetoothペアリングをする際、まずアプリを最初に起動するとアプリの設定時に「Wi-Fi」「近くのデバイス」「位置情報」へのアクセス許可を求められるのはでこれを許可しておけばペアリングできました。許可しないと接続できませんでした。他社のアプリも同様の傾向があります。参考まで。 ### 3/5 — Bluetooth接続に問題あり *2026-01-30* 2026/1/31時点では オーディオとの接続は出来る様で、Bluetooth経由で音源を流す事は可能です。 ただアプリのパラメータと実機(GX-1B)のパラメータを連動する事は出来ません。 自分だけかと思い試行錯誤しましたが、どうも他にも同じ症状の方が居られる様でアプリ側のアップデート待ちかも知れません。 現時点ではこのアプリからパラメータの操作は出来ません。 ## Frequently asked questions about BTS for GX ### How do I connect BTS for GX-1 to my device?
