  bobosch's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Exellent for home studio-ist"

  Characteristics

  Everything is in the technical details, all the effects are there.
  
  on the other hand is digital.
  
  All effects are editable via pc-mac.
  
  The connection is audio-midi-usb

  Utilization

  No easy access for very comprehensive, but it is a workstation, not a basic multi-effects, you have a homestudio complete with guitar / bass / vocals / Above the keyboard are pluggable and recordable via the supplied software is very intuitive.
  
  I've had with a manual in French, so easy to understand, but nil takes time to capture everything he can do.

  Sound Quality

  I have always been in DOD and Digitech, so I like the sounds coming out of the beast, but everyone may not agree.
  
  I use a Fernandes FR-75 EMG81/60 and EMG 81/60 LTD EC1000.
  
  I play metal, and sounds send the potato in this style.
  
  With my acoustic Ibanez also get very nice sounds.

  Overall Opinion

  I use now for over 3 years.
  
  before buying I tested Korg, Zoom, and Boss, but I'm back on digitech, and that's the only device that offers such a possibility for registration.
  
  I do not use cons not live by, then I prefer separate pedals. My GNX3000 is only used at home, and to register.
  
  
  
  The quality is top price, and I would do this choice, the evidence I've just buy one of OCCAZ, my son who farted my USB port (my fault, teach me to let my trainer cables anywhere ).

  Lenoir's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  *** WARNING! ***
  
  This is not just a muti-purpose. Neither a simple multi-effect, too.
  
  
  
  This is a Guitar Workstation, a concept initiated by Digitech many years ago. It is a digital USB interface for guitar and bass (mono) / voice (mono) / audio (stereo) 4in/2out allowing re-amping, MIDI interface, a BAR and finally ... a simulator of guitar pickups (HB-HC and HC-HB), effects, amp and speaker
  
  
  
  The routing capabilities are amazing. With a PC GNX3000 and we have a complete recording studio staff.
  
  
  
  It is designed to be connected to a computer or sound system. There, that's fine. It can be plugged into a guitar amp or low but at the cost of individual settings depend on the insertion point (input, loop or Poweramp in). In other words, it is doable but not really for!
  
  
  
  In terms of features, they are already listed. Missing the presence of a microphone preamp DBX. The power supply, 15V phantom, so a bit tight for some microphones.

  Utilization

  Simple as pie, provided it is used properly and that people read the leaflet, of course. It has a rather intuitive PC software that simplifies configuration and editing.

  Sound Quality

  When you know the hack ... it's huge!
  
  
  
  As usual ', the presets do not do it justice. However, we can find a good guitar for clean tones, crunch or distorted at will. Special mention for the acoustic guitar simulator. Models for bass are fabulous. The preamp, DBX done a good job for the voice and the taking of acoustic instruments. The routing allows to assign the effects to the input line: with a synth, it opens up new sonic territory.
  
  
  
  There is a community accessible through the Digitech site that makes available hundreds of presets, which provides a working basis inexhaustible. Those who think that GNX3000 is not able to release a proper distortion on a guitar there have obviously not done a tour ...

  Overall Opinion

  It is the successor to the GNX4. He was abducted on 8 track and added a processor for even more realism in simulations.
  
  
  
  And it's actually the big problem of the machine: the sudden, it looks like a beast pedal when we are in the presence of a Swiss Army knife for home-studio-ist, not a multi-purpose. It's really designed to do everything and do it well. Even for the live, plugged into an amp rather than a guitar or bass sound, the result can be excellent. on the other hand, this requires well know to bypass the individual elements of the audio.
  
  
  
  Obviously, if we expect a digital guitar pedalboard, it must be frankly skeptical by contacting the monster. But when it was chosen for what it is, it is happiness.

  PtiBiere's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Lol there are too many trucks look the plug techinque!

  Utilization

  The manual is very complete. Sincerely for the use of base (I mean the SETTINGS effects, saturation, reverb ect) it can not have a desire to ca man comes alone: ​​chorus / mod it Apui on the chorus pedal was on his pr paramentrage the point is simple too. For the drum machine once you understand how to enter this mode is very simple on / off button, tap tempo, patern ... After I had already registered for a little bit of experience of home studio (notably with magix) so it seemed to me very simple one connects the beast is selected click on a track record of this party as easy as any other recorder pc. DIOS I admit it's a little more complex for the amp simulations and parameterization of cranberry I had to get out the manual to understand but since I manage. Seriously the difficulties encountered eventiellement only come from the fact that this is horible apareil complete and great opportunities. Just a caveat for cmpatibilité with the pc, which encountered some problems sometimes.

  Sound Quality

  So I use a cort elvz-6 (emg ACIF) and a fender FM212R seriously and sounds are really not bad, I tried the same type at boss but nothing to do especially for the distortions that were horible. With the digitech one can find a lot of other overdrives distos, there's plenty to do to metal, classic rock, funk jazz punk even (I had clean / chorus awesome). The cleans are a particularly impressive acoustic guitar modeling bleuffante. After every chorus delay wah ect are very good! The only downside for wha who does his job but is not taping not as she could be with the boss that surpasses the digitech on this point. Let me stop you right away if you want the fuzz or whatever its vintage, there's no lights, do not expect a huge distortion either, finally here is the digital ca!

  Overall Opinion

  The largest default that can be his attributions is a small lag time between changes in Presset (such a half sc) to go about it a little in advance but hey it's still more reason in the same Presset two sounds can be adjusted (a disto / a clean, slight distortion / disto big solo) and three effects (a distortion pedal in addition to a dc trosieme modulation distortion and delay) so there is plenty to do. Other than that it's one of the best workstation for my taste! Only my eyes and a competitor can be even higher zoom g9 2tt who also look monstrous in the same price range (preamp lamp has two expression pedals and a wah and a volume for example) but I could not try so I opted for the digitech!
  
  
  
  And I want to say that we pay 349 euros to 600 on thomann and no offense to "bubu47" and obviously it depends on the amp and the guitar is not why it takes two to ... in this case a les paul Supreme sound shit plugged into an amp harley benton 5 watts so we put a 2 ... the sound quality on my 212R connected directly to the power amp I have a sound better in some areas and especially the significantly larger capacity than the amps down lines such ValveKing lamps for the same price ... just to correct some of the advice that is not based bubu47

  bubu47's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  All is already said

  Utilization

  Alor frankly I have done purchasing this pedalier There's five months and it Be I find really difficult to use because it was the first time I buy a multi-effet.Le advice I Can you give is that if you have never had a multi-effects at earlier and that you are a little amateur like me when you buy do not buy it because it's very hard to use voila.Et decus.franchement you a kit for metalheads to € 600 in the bottom bracket as well buy a combo amp I recommend the randall rg100g3 is pure sound.

  Sound Quality

  All depends on the guitar amp but it does Vaus not a good combo amp or hybrid.

  Overall Opinion

  Here I buy without tros think in haste and was nonsense to think twice before buying it.

  GrouiGroui's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  For a list of effects, I suggest you look on the net, they will be better ;-) lists
  
  These effects are ditables, and more easily even through the X-Edit interface for the PC.
  
  Level connectivity is simple but not bad:
  
  - Output jack 2 1 / 4 (left and right) + volume knob
  
  - 2 XLR outputs (L and R) + volume knob
  
  - An input / output USB Stereo
  
  - Between 1 and 1 MIDI output
  
  - One headphone out (read the manual for the very first use)
  
  - Between 1 1 / 4 to connect a PDAL (footswitch) supplmentaire
  
  - 2 input jack 1 / 4 (G & D)
  
  - Between 1 XLR (microphone to be used among others for the talkbox included)
  
  
  
  and of course, between a jack 1 / 4 for the instrument.

  Utilization

  The configuration seemed fairly difficult to beginners, the possibilities taient standards and I could not get my sound.
  
  Which makes sense with new hardware, the beginners it is not known how each effect Ragit! Over time and strength to hack and read the manual (provided in English) I understood how everything worked and now bte no secrets for me (I think).
  
  You can also Tlcharger sounds prdfinis by a community of players on this site (http://www.digitech.com/soundcomm/guitar_list_patches.asp?productid=215), which can help and provide a basis ...
  
  
  
  In terms of hardware ct, the case in mtal immediately inspires confidence, it's solid!
  
  The pedals (plastic) are also of good quality TRS and are very stable.
  
  The multi pedals on the right (I use it primarily as a volume pedals) is frankly reliable, trs solid prcise and does not seem to "soften" or grinding.
  
  Other keys, FOR programming effects are plastic, the same as that of the pedals, and do absolutely no fear.
  
  APRS one year of use, I can tell you that bte Entire did not move a muscle!

  Sound Quality

  The sound remains all the same synthetic, even if sometimes it happens that is well tonn to catch a hot fiddling its effects. I deprecated this multi-effects to those addicted to vintage, for against, mtalleux friends, go for it!
  
  The output quality is excellent nanmoins (no hum or spitting).
  
  One of the big default of the pedals is the time for change trs marked between two patches (1 / 2 second, the big dipper) impossible to continue play during this short time limit ...
  
  I do not see directly what effect could make me piti they are all good quality trs (a nanmoins is multi-effects). But do not count too much on the pedals like wah-wah pedals, you will trsdu.
  
  One thing trs important that I forgot to mention: the supermodels, who are none other than simulations DIFFERENT amp and speakers. For each patch, you can simus Defines two amps, two speaker DIFFERENT simus, and mix it all you want. The simulations are trsralistes for some, for others they simply mtamorphoseront your sound if you do not like that of your amp ;-)
  
  
  
  I use the Ibanez RG2550 with a beast, rises with humbuckers DiMarzio Evolution 1 and 2. As amp, nothing terrible and that's a shame: Marshall MG100 HDFX. I am a good amp sr style Carvin Legacy or Hughes & Kettner would do better show the quality of the effects, but hey, it's DIFFERENT budget issue. To this I added a wah-wah Morley Bad Horsie 2.
  
  
  
  I get very easy sound of Vai with everything, I love her, but I would still keep its unique Personal ...

  Overall Opinion

  As I said tt +, I use this animal for 1 year, she became a great friend. The kind of friend you might want to hit at times and that this can not happen ...
  
  I tried the Boss and Zoom in the same price range before buying. Boss sounded horribly synthetic and remained Zoom Zoom (issue got).
  
  
  
  Report qualitprix Obviously ... imagine how great a coterait to have many effects pedals by purchasing unique ...
  
  I like the Digitech effects, again I Rasht, but with a different amp bnficier its best quality.
  
  
  
  Now, each in its gots Contents of audio ...
