I bought a K100 1x12 a few weeks ago and recently decided to give the Tone Studio a whirl as I'd like to try some of the other effects available. I went to the Boss website and get the message
'BOSS Tone Studio for Windows is currently unavailable. The application does not install correctly in some PC environments. Thank you in advance for your understanding.' and no download link.
I managed to find what seem to be a couple of links to the 1.0.2 and 1.0.1 files on Boss servers but both give a file corrupt message when I try to install them.
I don't suppose anyone has working version of either that will install on Windows 10 they could Dropbox for me? One of the reasons I bought this amp was that it should be pretty configurable but I'm a bit lost without the software unless there's a way to do it manually via the amp's controls.

Ive got it on my Windows 10 laptop and it works fine.
Not sure how I would go about sending the software though... Not THAT tech-savvy.
So, having had a play with it last night it's not quite what I was expecting. For editing of parameters it was great and as straight forward as you can get. What I couldn't work out was how to have more than 6 effects in the chain as they all appear to be linked to the buttons on the amp. For example if I wanted to stack drives I couldn't see a way of doing it, the same with delays.
I wish I'd picked up the foot controller at the same time I bought the amp as there were a few places with it in stock.
Aye the GA-FC has been difficult to get hold of. I got mine from Amazon for £85 delivered....have a look there and put it in your basket as it will let you know changes to pricing etc.
Tone Studio - hope you got it sorted and running. There is a Sneaky Amps program being discussed on Gearpage that opens up even more. Perhaps Boss have caught onto that and are working around it.?

The amp itself is great but in the absence of the foot controller and some way of loading up one of the fuzz effect models it's just an unnecessarily large, unnecessarily loud but very nice sounding home practice amp at the moment.
I'll probably take it to rehearsal next week to try it out in pedal platform mode (and I suspect it'll be pretty good) but I was kind of looking forward to seeing how it works as an all-in-one rehearsal and easy in/out gig solution...

I followed the process above and got tonestudio working fine last night. You just have to be careful about the order.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youI can confirm that the changing the date thing works. Now I'm just wondering why it's taking Boss/Roland more than a couple of days to work out what the underlying issue is, fix it, and upload a new version of the installer... :-(
