Best value:
Excellent
Needless to resubmit, so I will speak only of its advantages and disadvantages ...
UTILIZATION
starting with its quality / price secondhand report because it is not uncommon to find a GX700 less than 100 € now and sometimes with a MIDI pedal for 30-40 € more ... making it an excellent deal for those seeking a complete multi-effects and quality, also capable of beautiful cleans.
The effects are of good quality and comparable to Boss pedals: compressor, noise gate, reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, etc. ... anything goes and it sounds!
Against by the programming is a bit laborious, it is quite far from plug and play, but it is common to 95% of multi effects ... he will spend time there!
SOUND QUALITY
So let's be clear: the preamp is clearly exceeded in respect of saturated sounds, it turns quickly to nasal, with the exception of using the simulator baffles, in this case a very stereo but much less garish result we get.
The cleans against by sounds are clear and crystalline property, fenderien clean arpeggios on a Roland or adding a little chorus and delay is divine!
To overcome the saturation weaklings, so I used this multi effect with a preamp tube in the loop (Rocktron Piranha), the preamp therefore generates me the crunch and saturated, the cleans are operated directly from the GX700, all balanced DNAS a Peavey Triple XXX head and his big 4x12.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for more than 15 years, but I'm now going to very heavy in terms of multi effects preamp (Fractal), he has made are working honestly and has followed me all this time in the studio and in concert without failing, which is significant for such a small price.
At the time of this purchase, it was in GT3 was its counterpart pedal format and you could find some stuff at Digitech and Zoom in the same category (above it was the Rocktron costing double), so value / excellent price, I've been thinking a long time ... a choice I would do it again without worries.
