Flex le groove « For fans of synth sounds and nets »
Published on 05/22/11 at 11:06Multi comprehensive, even today
UTILIZATION
Very easy to edit, friendlier than some newer products.
The chaining effect in my opinion is incidental.
SOUND QUALITY
Used in a rather metal age at the time and plugged into the clean channel of a Marshall tube head or tampered with while on a Peavy Bandit 112, the popping sound of the GX700 was preferred to that of a Dual Rectifier for recording a demo!
It seduces and still will seduce lovers of synthetic sounds, clear and precise (I cab refer you to my old band's SWATT myspace for a sound demo).
The EQ is a bit limited but sufficient, some effects are a little gadget (the ring modulator and the "ya-ya/yo-yo") and the Wha Wha is very good when it is disabled.
The usage of an HP Simulator via a direct connection to a sound card does not convince me (not to say that it's a disaster either).
Remember that the GX700 has not been designed for home studio use.
OVERALL OPINION
After more than 10 years of use in live and rehearsal studios, my GX700 has retired.
I replaced it because of its very low use in home studio.
Swiss army knife, the GX700 has nothing to envy (except speaker simulation) from some newer products, especially as we find that today for little dough.
