DigiTech BNX3

I have been playing bass for over 10 years. I have played in local bands. I love jazz and jam due to the improvizational aspect.

I bought this unit on Ebay for $350. I was looking for effects with a loop station.

I love the ability to make your own sounds. The 8 track recorder/ loop station is great. It is fairly easy to use after reading a few directions.

Some of the factory presets wernt quite what I was looking for so I changed them.

It is sturdy, but my unit has chipped paint due to being on the road.

This is a great practice tool along with sound bank and loop. I love it!!

A bit expensive new, market shame that the opportunity has not developed ... Normal since the quality of the product!

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

Without any hsitation!

See below, everything is already said ...

UTILIZATION

I regret the non-existence of a "melted" when changing from one preset to another. Otherwise RAS, quite instinctive.

SOUND QUALITY

After much searching, questioning, testing, reading articles, advice, brief 2 months on the spot to gather information on three products: Bass POD XT, GT6B, BNX.
Without too much development at its ca gave this:
Bass POD XT: At the time I had a POD xt (I'm also a guitarist) and frankly there is the same color (nan GNII that it is the black ... = /) c Nan seriously the same grain suitable for low . Custom I sold the POD xt, (VOX Tonelab SE for ... um ... =))) I would take a POD xt in. Bass of the shot. In short I really in..
GT6B: arf very, very, special, frankly was disappointed g ... C cold in. nan really really natural ... ca me po at all.
BNX: Here c something else. In fact when I was testing at "Center Effect", I could at the same time an overview of the three products. To my ear the BNX comes out with flying colors.

So yes, some say it just inches compared to multis simulators, c only three machines have two profiles each having their own function. So yeah, if I dared to compare, and c Digitech has won.
Also do not necessarily know the originals in. I can not compare. But the result is. Sounds.

Update -
Finally after many trials of different products, I drop the modelers. I will not repeat what I wrote above, but all this is very synthetic.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since qq weeks. I am very happy. I do not regret my choice. It is a bit expensive, but it's worth it.
Small problem, the button plastok c po terrible, just avoid fo jump in with both feet.

Update -
I finally sold my BNX, and I turned in a first step towards an Ampeg tube preamp. Not bad, but not versatile enough, I just bought an Aguilar preamp, I did not have to temsp tested thoroughly tested, but I do not take too much risk in saying that I can hard to beat.

In short, I do not spit on the modeler, as I believe the future holds good surprise at that level, but for the moement I decided to return to the classic lamp.

See below

UTILIZATION

Operation is as complicated plutt given the number of Settings, you must spend time, the manual does not exist in French and there is no index (a little zero). In short CEMM hab if want to master it needs to be addressed trssrieusement

SOUND QUALITY

In terms of simulation, but no real ide level of effect you get something really INTERESTED. APRS tastes and colors .... any fawn the possibilities of these devices are large and Chaun same way when titer benefit of such a machine.
Even when there is a track that registreur 8 trs is not always intuitive, but still has a good pedals.
By CONTREN not expect to really find the heat, we are in total numrique You amplification by the lamps maus we will start to have a note sal.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using for over a year, I am still far from any operator who had a deficiency PERIOD. Purchased 450 thomann report quality norm price is certainly not compared to the pod xt.
I confess that what really interested me would be a good multi purpose plutt rack but at the low and I find nothing certain effects found only on this kind of pdalier.
Finally c trs good stuff, just complicated.
