BTS for Pocket GT

It’s definitely an app, and device, where you have to read the instructions or already be familiar with the way Boss does things. Once you read the manual, it works really well. Connection is solid and very fast. The shuttle controls for Apple Music (what I practice with) will do play, pause, forward and backward tracks. Considering this easy manages a Bluetooth audio receiver and Bluetooth MIDI and streaming integration and a full effects app, I’d say it’s pretty good.

This app is awful. The reason why you buy this pocket amp is to practice along with songs but, I am yet ti find a sing on youtube that is nit protected and that I can play with. Apple music does not work either, it only works with songs you own and, since I pay a monthly subscription instead of buying songs, again, I can’t play along with any song. Is it BOSS’s fault? No, not at all. But they should not use that feature as a strong point in their advertisement since you cannot really use it. I have not found a solution for this. Now, the ads advertise a ton of sounds and amps etc. But when you open the app and try to add patches, you only see 3 options. I did find a way around this. I downloaded BTS for the GT1 on my mac and downloaded the patches they have there. Them I exported them to iCloud. Then opened this stupid app and imported them. It worked. Tons of amps, preamps etc. Hope it helps.

I am updating my review. For me, the Pocket GT is for creating great headphone amp sounds for practice and on the fly loop creation to creat quick backing tracks for my solo gigs. The app is the perfect tool for this as it gives access to sound editing on a fairly deep level. As far as the YouTube transport control, I am not at all interested as I have been playing for my whole life. If your goal is sound creation with this tool, the app is awesome.
