- For me I would have put 10 for the effects because even when there is a coronation range
For cons, I bought this mainly for pdalier recorder and I t&#39;s great mainly because of the smart cards that are really crappy MDIA (in terms of capacity and also reliability. I use the recorder as a sampler in concert several times and I t lch by a card which made me ...
Even worse I t lch rcemment the internal memory of the recorder! has self-training beginners in concert ...
- If the loop is excellent, and being able to get a microphone to put the effects are fun (even if ultimately not used trs live ...).
- And I love being able dclencher the expression pedals as a wah with the v-switch. But new shadow in the table is that four years later the pedals is no longer standing if used too ...

-> In the end I put for 7 CHARACTERISTICS because there is good (bcp opportunities) and worse (which seems to be corrected the GNX4 ds).

UTILIZATION

1) While the manual is crap for me (not at all clear and not logical).
2) The config is pretty intuitive but there are a lot of basic things trs not logical or not easily feasible. For example:
- How rgler the volume of each preset? The only alternative I found is to use the pedals SETTING THE expression ...
- How not to use the amp simus? I have not found a way to skipper this gadget, which is useless because nothing puts an amp head and Fawn everyone has a ... (And changes everything in the program)
- Time to switch between each preset in the green mode is quite long, and not adapted to trs live (in the words of other opinions). So I had to adapt my game to this pb because of a intrt pdalier for me and even when moving at all while in her, so as not to play if we had more pedals (I think ?).... stompbox mode But everyone&#39;s opinion
- The change in bypass mode or tuner is technically impossible to have a month off a 20 cm wide. In addition, the reverse, I sometimes inadvertently rgulirement to press the two pedals at the same time dernires live, and thus switch to stompbox and to be bored by many more ... So basically, the scope of dclencher modes by pressing two pedals at the same time is zero, even if it allows more opportunities to toe.

3) If not for the positives, I would loose:
- SETTING THE The volume knob with an external (just wish it was not "crantquot, or there is no visual repre be easily to be the same rglage all the time ...)
- As told prcdemment, the-v switch is gnial (to use the expression pedals like a wah wah programs in addition to modulations)
- 5 presets at the same time it is (5 pedals = 5 presets per bank). Damage only thing: it&#39;s pretty perilous to go from bank to bank ... 5 sounds good, but normally should be sufficient to call a least Tom Morello (and again)!
- The multi-purpose use as a sampler, or to loops
- Lots of possibilities with the expression pedals (3 effects modules at once I think).
4) I have personally suffered by bcp against bugs in the software of pdalier.
Including:
- Bug in the internal memory of the recorder (self-training, see above)
- Rcemment, APRS a full reset pdalier (&#39;m by myself), I can not record sound ... :-( Or presets with high volume (like 99/100) no longer leave (no sound)
- Out of its multi-purpose compltement DGRAD saturated and if the volume is high (90% in kind)
- Behavior bugg at preset edition, which led her to a clipped (which saturates), because I gain program has seemed to be added to the distortion gain existing dj!
5) Finally, even if the bte seems robust, APRS qq years it shows a severe lack of reliability (despite good maintenance on my part):
- PDAL of expression from a spin
- Programming buttons that get dirty and do not work well
- Ditto for the pedals preset
- Pbs bugs and memory (see above)

-> So mitigates a note (5)

SOUND QUALITY

For sound, not much to say: this is perfect an amateur like me! The quality is good and varied choice.

-> 9 / 10

OVERALL OPINION

Dj evokes as:
- = Major benefit rich sound and features
- Main default = reliability and sometimes ergonomics / ease of use

I prcdemment a Zoom 3030, and the reliability silent really bad. on the other hand, use silent simple and effective, and is the only that I was providing pdalier distos powerful (both hard to find now). But the GNX3 is doing quite well also in distos powerful compares these current competitors.

So in the end, I do not regret my choice (except that if I had known I would have expected the GNX4, which fills the gaps bcp GNX3 ...), because I have a great time with.
on the other hand, as I began lcher (see reliability of PBS), the question of resuming the same brand (GNX4 for example) arises, and I&#39;m torn between which I galres have had with and the people I pat!
In any case, your opinions are welcome to in my many m&#39;clairer Lumire!
