Product Information

The Gigcasters are designed to be pretty much self-contained, and to that end, each one comes with a colour touch display and plenty of hands-on controls. Audio sources can be mixed with faders and mute buttons, signal levels can be viewed on screen, and we’re promised easy access to routing options. The assignable pads, meanwhile, can be used for triggering sounds and tweaking the effects. Drawing on decades of BOSS expertise, each Gigcaster model offers an advanced array of features that make audio content creation easier than ever. Multiple input channels allow users to connect XLR mics and instruments, while a wide selection of premium processing from the BOSS library provides polished, ready-to-go sound. Bluetooth® audio is available for streaming music from a mobile device, while main and headphones outputs provide comprehensive sound monitoring for multiple participants. However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. For high quality vocals, look no further! The GSC-8 Gigcaster's mic inputs feature phantom power and high-grade preamps with low noise to ensure sparkling clarity and vocal articulation. With a staggeringly wide gain range (+70dB) it can adapt to any input level you encounter.

But it's not just crystal-clear, because the Gigcaster also feature vocal processing effects to embellish your cadence. Dedicated vocal effects, harmony and voice transformers derived from VE vocal processors enable you to take your music - or podcast! - in engaging and creative new dimensions.

I still recommend it for solo singing guitarists.Mic inputs feature phantom power and high-grade preamps with low noise and wide gain range (+70 dB)

Though we don’t find any issues streaming directly into Cubase, you might arguably reduce the complexity of a session by using the SD card – if nothing else, it allows you to do your recording without even needing a computer, which can be a bonus if you’re travelling or are short on space.
