ustensile « Good but has not aged well »
Published on 05/16/11 at 07:41Most effects are available (chorus, delay, reverb, compressor, noise gate, EQ, wah ... etc) as fairly good quality without being transcendent. The technology used is digital hence the coldness and the slurriness when it accumulates too many effects. Editing is not too boring but we've seen better. There is a PC application to set my stuff but I never got it to work. Otherwise the connection is complete, works very well with the controller Behringer FCB1010
UTILIZATION
The setup is a little involved but spending a little time, one quickly masters the craft. Watch out- too many effects will kills the effect, if abused, the sound becomes murky, distant and flat.
SOUND QUALITY
The effects are not too bad but it tends to age badly, the GX 700 has over 10 years and we have better products since. It was also the cold side and digital brand, we can obtain correct results but we must spend time to test all combinations and interactions between them. I use it in the loop of my preamp in small doses and the result satisfies me.
The good effects:
chorus, delay, compressor, noise gate, EQ
The bad effects:
distortion, wah, reverb, preamp to simulation, the HP simulation (ridiculous), the effects on the con (ring modulator, humanizer and other delusions in this genre)
OVERALL OPINION
I have uses it for over 10 years, and not being a big user of effects, it is enough for what I did. The advantage is that it offers in a rack 1U all that is done both for the gain effects and the modulation effects. We also have a programmable loop, handy if you want to insert an external preamp in the chain (which can change the order). The value for money is good considering the price of the equipment secondhand. Okay if you just want to add a little effect, to avoid if you are picky about quality.
