Wishoum « I, j'le care! :) »
Published on 05/04/12 at 06:26Effects (digital): reverb, whawha, distortion, delay, compressor, limiter, flanger, chorus, harmonizing, and other ... Lacks only Wammy, but you can tweak with a harmonized
All completely editable with enough parameters to fully customize them.
No PC connection (a little too old for this!)
Rack-mount model.
The connectors are all jack except the input / output MIDI.
UTILIZATION
The general configuration seems rather complicated at first in shipping, but finally knows
be understood without taking the head too. You just lean on, what ^ ^
I never had the manual in hand, so I know not if it is clear or not.
Editing sounds, once the interface grip, comes in handy. If I had to do a comparison, let's say it is the Nokia 3810 in time for those to whom it speaks!
SOUND QUALITY
The effects are generally sufficiently credible to be all used.
I personally do not like chorus and flanger effects and other jazz-rock for years 70-80 (beurk. .. No jazz rock, huh: scratch their sound!), So I am not commenting on them there, and modulators find some "cheap".
Having used some time to harmonize on a piece of Queen, I can say it is fulfilling its role, particularly by the fact that it is adjustable note by note.
In terms of distos, the few types of bases are offered eclectic, allowing to go to the crunchy distortion well stinging through the vintage just yuck it right with pace and a good grain .
I use the GX-700 The Beast with a lag, the two allows me a wide range of style all very believable, whether from rock to Jet, Queen and ACDC, reggae, variety or the electro, digging a little in the proposed modulations!
I went directly to table it until there is 1 year, and the sound was very clean, precise and versatile. I still come to pass in an amp (transistor fault means ^ ^), which gives it a warmth and a body that ultimately sorely miss him nonetheless when alone (that is that a preamp ', after all). And I had two occasions to pull through a good tube amp (the one I do not know that it marks, and the other an Orange), and I was really won ... Heat in a clean tones recall who know a good strat, and a depth in distos that provide some fun!
OVERALL OPINION
It's been 8 years that I use on stage, controlled by a MIDI footswitch and expression pedal (parameterizable as desired for volume, whawha, harmonize ...), and have absolutely no desire for anything else (well if a tube amp to put him in c ..!).
on the other hand for the studio, his scans are not sufficiently credible for efficient rendering. The distos not enough bodies, clean sounds seem a bit flat, hollow.
I started with that scene, and have never felt the need of something else. And enhanced it in their own way (I prefer the example whawha Vox, therefore no longer uses the GX, but have practiced for nearly six years before switching!), I believe the GX can find its place amongst all config wanting to be a minimum in its wide range of sound.
It is not up certe modeling of some recent models (yeah the old grandpa is), but its price, reliability (no single failure in over 8 years!), Rack configuration (unlike to pedal effects GT-6 or Vox that if something goes wrong condemn you the pedal completely, while all you have to buy a controller for the GX, so keep your settings, etc ...) and versatility make it an ally for the stage.
After frankly, I do mainly music-hall, with covers of all styles ... So that the palette of sounds addressed does not require an authenticity foolproof, however for a group of "style", either outright or purely reggae metal, I think the models are not enough mouth for "having the sound". Sounds clear enough slap, the distos not deep enough ... But here I am talking about something I do not know, these are just assumptions! If anything it would be just as satisfying!
In any case, if the choice had to be rebuilt, it would be uncritically that I will opt for the GX-700, whose versatility (again ^ ^) is equaled its value!
Come on, now I get my ticket for this closet at Roland advertising! : D
For an overview of the record on stage, I invite you to see it in action on video by typing "Spam the group" on YouTube (this is promised in good faith that I say this, not to make the pub! ^ ^)
