BOSS Gigcaster 5 is a powerful one-stop-shop audio command center specifically built with livestreaming musicians and content creators in mind. With a range of advanced features in a compact housing, you can achieve excellent audio connectivity and live operation with the hands-on controls and vivid colour touchscreen.
Connect a guitar or bass and discover the flagship GT amps and effects, connect a microphone and shape voices with high-quality processing found in the VE series, or patch in any other instrument using the stereo line input. As you stream, you can mix up to five sources such as background music or sound from a remote guest. With customizable features, external control support, and much more, the Gigcaster 5 is the perfect companion for music creators, educators, podcasters, streamers and anyone else wanting to create music-centric media.

Killer Guitar and Bass Sounds, No External Gear Needed

Stream and rehearse with amazing guitar and bass sounds without needing external processing. Connect straight into the front panel jack and start playing with premium amp and effects models ported from the industry-leading GT-1000. With 100 ready-to-play preset patches, you also get access to 200 user locations to store parameter tweaks and custom setups. With extensive support for footswitch control and expression pedals, you can operate your rig hands free, and the vital built in tuner keeps your performances pristine.

Perform with Mics and Other Instruments

With additional inputs for connecting more gear and playing along with other musicians, including two broadcast-quality low-noise phantom power enabled XLR mic preamps with wide dynamic range, and a stereo line input for keyboards and drum machines. Included vocal effects from the coveted VE series enable you to perform with processing like compression, pitch correction, delay, and reverb - and you can even apply harmonies to your voice that automatically follow a predefined key.

Pro Multichannel Audio Mixing

Putting a plethora of mixing and routing features at your fingertips, the Gigcaster 5 boasts three analog input channels, stereo channels for Bluetooth and USB audio, and each channel features a range of sound-sculpting tools for pro level mixes on the fly.

Compact Streaming Power

Remaining compact to take up minimal desk space, the Gigcaster 5 provides a range of creative tools that can be used in real time. Use Bluetooth to play back audio from a mobile device, and the ducking function automatically reduces volume as you speak over it. Get enhanced connectivity and control through the Gigcaster 5 App and trigger sound effects, theme songs, sample loops or backing tracks.

Grab-and-Go Control

A touch-screen colour display and intuitive control layout, you can control everything you need using nothing but the hardware. Use the faders and mute buttons to create your balance while the screen displays signal levels, access effects and edit them quickly with the included tools to polish your sound.

Customize Your Workflow

Eight on-screen effect pads, configured in eight banks, give you 64 command sources for changing sounds quickly via the touch display. Assign up to four effects to each pad, like preset selection, bypass and more. With all of these options for configuration, the Gigcaster 5 will suit any streaming style.

Pro Recording Partner

The Gigcaster 5 also functions as a studio-grade 16x12 USB audio interface for recording streams or full song productions inside a DAW. Capture a live stereo mix in your streaming software for archiving and distribution, or use the Gigcaster 5's latency-free effects as a multi-channel front end for recording and building songs in the software of your choice.
