Dj says

USE

Everything is very clear

SOUND QUALITY

Should not exagr it's not professional. I do not understand those who put 10. It's good to have small sounds at home but finds herself limit. Using multi-effect for 5 years I started a little know what effects and quickly apperoit of these defects. It's good but it's far from being top. Evidamment for the price should not esprer a pro hardware type. It's good to start

NOTICE GLOBAL

It is very practical and very easy to use but finds herself in limited qualities of sound and A / D and D / A. Otherwise the output SPDIF malgrs it causes big crackements on my sound card now gives his very correct. Nevertheless this is still a fairly correct price quality ratio.

In this bike he already has everything a guitarist needs!
This machine emulates amps "legendary", it simulates the amplifier stage and the speakers (I do not know how ... but enough). An original function allows to "morph" between amp and speaker setup, crazy!
This is a pedal for selected 4 presets / patches and also has a control pedal / expression. The latter is configurable: one effect parameter as SPEED chorus can be assigned to him!

Oh, and then you can order the change via MIDI pacth this is good for different types of benefits. New (RP500/1000 or other ...) do not have MIDI connectors. I think even you can order parameters via MIDI I think.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple: we must re-read the manual. With some practice it then rolls but it is really not the kind of machine "fun", it nan ah!
In the manual, it is not only necessary, it must be preserved (attention. ...) and we must learn to read between the lines sometimes but hey, with a little time and perseverance, I am happened (lol)!

Editing sounds ultimately moult after re-reading the manual and a little practice, is quite easily. However, the publication of two channels RED / GREEN times, requires a re-reading the manual because there are small manipulation to know by heart and which are not obvious!

SOUND QUALITY

So here we touch the heart of the matter!
This machine is repulsive, it is not easy but sounds: ouy, ouy, ouy! It's heavy: the factory presets are not all usable but they provide a basis for customization and when you get to set your sound, I swear to you it is a pleasure to play!
The USER memory is not huge, I do not know how we use patch memoir that must be e ^ 4 * 8 in the bank I think or less, so really funny side to the latest machinery but hey, it is perhaps a decade that I have and that I play with and I have not been limited by the number of impact USER!
I do not know whether the amp simulations are faithful because, since I find I do not have to buy my amp! Seriously I 5150 I sold an old marshall lamp, an old Peavey 112 (memory) and others but I have sold!
I put the time but when I started to know how to correctly adjust the sound mixers and ben I have not reconnected my guitar on an amp ... sniff!
As I have a copy guitar CORT Les Paul tampered 2 DiMarzio PAF have replaced the original, Japanese Hamer with the original pickups, a Fender Tele MSM (market over which model) ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a (very) long time, probably since its release!
At the time I scoured all the stores in search of such a multi FX pedal, so it was of Roland, the Korgs etc ... I do not know what was good but the usual !
But even since then and until today, I regularly abandon testing of new pedals and I think the Digitech, in terms of sound even fine for me: I like the sound of Digitech (lol)! In terms of functionality, I am on my model because the latter have GNX2 TOO opportunities. I do not know if it is possible to exploit all. I re-discovered from time to time opportunities to mine, I can not imagine those new machines they released!
When I see the price at which it is sold today I think that the youngsters really are lucky this is crazy 100 € the thing! IF you are a beginner and you do not have many rounds DARK, no need to buy the latest RP500/1000, it is useless, buy secondhand already for even if you like the sound then you can buy one of these bikes with 1000iers of PRESETS, buy a GNX2 3 or 2000, for example you will not be disappointed.

I Bought it from KTJ music, for my band. Paid $350.

The way you can create your own hypermodels by combing high quality effects with many amp and cab models. The different effects and all the options. Very easy to use. A great guitar effects processer with many capabilities.

To me, the drums are too quiet when playing with the guitar. I don't like the knobs. You have to turn some effects up really loud to be able to hear them enough, and then some of them you have to turn way down to keep from blowing the AMP.

Very sturdy and well built. Great and rugged.

A great all-around effects processer. You can virtually get almost any kind of sound off of it. It looks very complicated, but it is suprisingly easy. Many, many options for such a small piece of metal and plastic.

I've had Digitech's GNX-2 for about three months now. I purchased it from www.musiciansbuy.com for approx. $450 (although I understand they are now offering an even better deal on it). I previously had an SGX-2000 rack unit which I've had for almost ten years, but wanted to get something more current and, after doing some comparisons with the POD and others, decided this was the best product.

This unit is very customizable. Some may want something with less features but this unit lets you do most anything. Distortions can be created either from preset emulations that can be tweaked, or by dialing in your own gain/level combinations for various amp model types. The pedal and preset footswitches all are very intuitive and convenient, and of course all the other effects are added in too. Finally, with its included software, you can share created presets via the internet.

I've come to the conclusion that there is no unit that will give you every conceivable sound that you might want from time to time. I do believe, however, that this multi-effect pedal comes closest to providing the greatest range and the best value too.

It's a solid unit -- well built. Steel, except for footswitches, although even they seem solid. I wrap it in a towel and throw it in a gig bag. No concerns at all about its durability.

I've been very pleased with this purchase. There may be some other setups out there that might better provide the exact sound I might want at a given moment in time. But for the greatest variety and great sounding effects, I think the GNX series is the way to go. I think I made a good choice and enjoy using this for all my playing needs.

Okay, so in effect, there are all the usual effects (Flanger, Chorus, Reverb, Delay, Phaser, Pitch, etc) these same dclins in several other types of effects (Triggered Flanger. ..).
There is also the Whammy (very good!), The Yaya, the whawha and many others. It's best to go to the digitech site for a list of all available effects.
There's also a CATEGORY effects trs trs helpful: Distortion Stompbox. This is a SERIES of distortion pedals of taking over existing distos (it mtal There's the area for example). And it can range from a little crunchy distortion distortion although the big metal.
You can have 64 presets DIFFERENT effects at the same time.
In terms of I / O, the y 'has a package. There's there are two output jack (right and left) to go to two different outputs (amp, table, pc, etc) and thus allows to have a stereo or mono output. There's also a SPDIF digital output, which is very practical for a recording to a PC (very good quality.
Then there is an entrance and exit south, which connects your PC to Gnx2 accsa and have different functions (eg editions of sound). It has many input jack on the guitar and there is also an XLR input and output. These are used for effect dernires Talker fare that can "talk" your guitar if you plug a microphone and we sang and played at the same time (a little practice I think this because if we stop singing means more than the guitar).
Another big CHARACTERISTICS of this multi-effect is that it is trs East amp simulation. We can each Defines the two types of amps (reproduction of real amps: marshall, vox, combo, etc ...) and two types of firms. After we can either use a combination of both for a single amp simulation or use either one or the other. And I must say, that it radically changes the sound.
There's also a drum machine intgre (very handy for playing alone).

UTILIZATION

This is a multi purpose easy to use, whether for shipping or use sounds live.
We see directly from the pedal, using a diode matrix, all active effects on the sound used.
Effect is modified easily (we add a particular reverb, with a particular depth, we add a chorus of a given speed, etc.).
If the pedal is connected to the PC via the MIDI, you can help Digitech software, edit sound even more quickly the next level. On the Digitech site one can send all the effects that are cre and you can also download full effect inks by other users. It's really very practical and useful. On the site each effect is listed by CATEGORY, a description and usually a sample mp3. It is also possible to safeguard its effects or even the entire configuration Gnx2 on pc (I have made several sauvegrades like that).
There can also download simulations amps and cabinets.
You can also update the version of its Gnx2 using the MIDI connection and downloading the update site (for example, I have purchased version 1.1, and mantenance j ' have version 1.3).
The Gnx2 is also very strong, that's the case, the switches or pedals. I use it in RPET and scne and I have no problem with ca. It is iron and quite heavy, the following fact that does not move on the ground when used.
There are two switches to switch banks of effects and four switches to change effect in the bank (16 banks of 4 sounds).
Another good point is the prsence of the drum machine (with several types DIFFERENT: rock, metal, pop, etc). I use trs often when I play alone (or when the drummer is not).
If one will have one small black dot is the change of an effect the other. When moving from one end to another, if both effects were not the same amp simulation, it Would there a small lag time (less than half a second) in the portion of the one another (but nothing trsgnant).

SOUND QUALITY

The quality of the effects is really exellent. The distos really impresionante, the whammy is trsraliste whawha and is well made.
For example I chopp the net effect had been done by a guy who is actually a big distortion with an octave below. And what's the I retouch a little, and now I keep it. It gives a big heavy metal well pretty cool. Note that the octave is precisely trs trs good, it does not sound synthetic as I could see him on other multi effects.
The sounds are really clear trs made as well, Night acoustic simulation that really practitioner.
I also made a low-end to record lower parts of my songs and it's really like trs (except that you can not scratch with a slapper). Again, the pitch shifter and (Otava trs are really good!
I utlise with Ibanez Edr470EX a Peavey Bandit 112 amp or a PA ca and send really!

OVERALL OPINION

I use the Gnx2 for about 2 years in RPET and scne and I must say it changed me from what I had before (zoom gx-707).
The strengths of this multi-effects: distos, the amp simulations, the output numrique, CONNECTIVITY in the PC and the quality effects.
This multi effect can be between 400 and 500, and it gives me a good report qualitprix trs.
There's also versions Gnx3 and GNX4. Is identical to the Gnx3 Gnx2 and offers in addition a multi-track editor to record his morceux above and 3 or 4 bass amp simulations in case you want to plug in his bass on Gnx3. The GNX4 is the same as when he Gnx3 and offers more and more quleques connectors (like the line in to connect a stereo, etc.) and a SmartMedia card reader to record its effects and morceux above.
I record my directemet digitally on PC to work again although all the tracks and the site of several people Digitech cre bass amp simulations that can be downloaded from the Gnx2. Do not need the options supplmentaires Gnx3 and GNX4, I chose and refer the Gnx2.

Nothing to see the other comments say all is said o.

UTILIZATION

The configuration is not gnrale trs difficult. Simple? uh hum adpend if we know what effects and modulation DSIR get it. But still a good one pdalier, just read the manual and hop. As for using it is quite accessible and timely. The trouble is at the plastic pedals. We have a push-button AIM metal vox fawn, the plastic starts cracking a little and sometimes you have to insist, press repeatedly to change the channel. In addition it is a challenge vritable to activate the receiver ..

SOUND QUALITY

It has been almost two and a half years that I use and I think I exploit the totality of its features (including several amps). Frankly, I'm not that kind of vendor matril, I had bought the era to have a pdalier comprising a mass of sound and not have to change After a few years. The bet is Russian, whatever-that .. <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_confused.gif" alt="" />
As for effects, it's really top, there is nothing to say. Chorus, flanger, detune, pitch, auto-wha .. everything in such a small thing and this time the sounds are not gadget, there are effects to the original and authentic pro.

In terms of simulation models, the key is in the heart of the problem! Digitech for effects, there is nothing to say. on the other hand for amp simulations must mfier: I use this combo with a pdalier all lamps. But the fact pdalier Analog conversion, numrique I just re-balance in a analog amp .. One might say "great! Global Warming lamps are all made and Chocapic" Big rreur. After a few rglages you get what you want so, but the sound .. bof.
Not bad but ... is wrong, a lack of chleur, deep. <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_cry.gif" alt="" />

Modulations in light and medium, as long as the gain does not increase the sound gnial. For up against when the gain in the saturation lvs pdalier loses crdibilit. It is quite difficult for even a delicate ear, when the volume goes up, the mean misr all the world.
J'xagre probably a little, but the simulations of large amps like mesa boogie combo and british (those j'utilisent most) are not worth the originals. Nanmoins they are lifelike, there is a little something sr ..

I would recommend this pdalier especially for people using amps transistors and guitarists who want the versatility of its bright / crunch. For effects that gnial.
For large mtaleux, use it with an amp that is sending or else a good distortion pedals. The distos mtal the GNX is not what is best.

OVERALL OPINION

Ben dja two years that I use. I had tried many other brands the era and despite the new products they come out now, the GNX is still not Exceeds. <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" />

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Its strength:</span>

The amp simulation-Clear / funk / crunchy.
-The effects are perfect!
-Simple and diversity of connections.

<span style="text-decoration: underline;">Weaknesses:</span>

The amp simulation-heavy / death metal / hard rock.
-The plastic pedals ...
This is when even a nice bb. Unless you be a professional guitarist (with the big big stuff derrire), is to say, this thing is the top. Good for studio or live use.

The only point to remember is that it is not dstin guitarists focusing on a single style of play

Idem see below

UTILIZATION

Manuel clear
Very easy to use you arrive very quickly to produce its own sounds

SOUND QUALITY

Effects frankly excellent
The amp models are very good whether the effects of plants or those that I create the quality is to go.
The number of effects is available is large you can really create a unique sound every guitarist.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years already and I am filled it to the live or repeating I never had any probleme.Je is the very affordable price for the high quality of sound offered. The fact also that there is much left available is very appréciable.Franchement I recommend this pedal is all that want to invest for the first time in a multi-effect, it will not be disappointed at all.

View Previous notice.
Trs complete.
PS: It is completely anachronistic with the device but rve some nights he does invent a USB port or FireWire

UTILIZATION

Sincrement I find that it is easy to use, unlike what the manual is trying to sell us, the ergonomics of use is definitely not intuitive and comfortable. You have to dive in, each button has a multitude of functions. And for Mac users, know that there is no driver GenEdit apt drive the beast on a system OSX 10.3.9. (Exit the rponse Digitech support itself). Damage, should compensate for a problem to.

The paramtrage of his custom remains quite tedious. Luckily for me, the extreme variation on sound factory offered me to find shoes my foot without treading too me.

SOUND QUALITY

Report QualitPrix super INTERESTED. Okay, sounds are not super pro, but goods and trs even when few of us, even among the most expresses, will make the diffrence frankly (I know that it is customary to pout in front of the gear to try to "grade" but few have played the guitar at the equivalent of their sound - to recall the game and the stakes are going above on the handle and a good guitar will always sound better on a guinbarde out of a state chapter of a guitar "Gibson Les Paul Machin Truc specially Us 69th Anniversary Limited Edition Custom Shop ". Everything has to say that I put even when a trs note on this chapter.

OVERALL OPINION

Even if honest, can not s'empcher rgulirement to tour the sounds of bte just for fun, the end one is concern by 10% at best he can give us. But what is sr, is that what you are looking for is among the panel of what he offers. The cumulative equivalent of pedals that would allow you to get your sound you coterait srement more expensive than GNX2 (OCCAZ easily found elsewhere).
DARK!

A small BMOL however, if c'tait again, I would take a srement MODEL suprieur bnficier for loops

For a description complte technical or manual tlchargeable ....
There is a bank Settings, enough to make her little sounds or reasonably rglages ...
Connectivity complte for guitarists, one XLR input plus MIDI implmentation and to control the GNx2 via a sequencer (and it works well !!!!). trs

This is a multi-pdalier guitar effects!

UTILIZATION

The configuration is not easy: you have to bone up a bit but the manual APRS Premire Listen to a DIFFERENT PATCH has makes you want to get out even when the fingers of c.. . pauffiner tentinet for a somewhat smaller rglages her!

The edition of the sounds is complte DISTO / DELAY / MODULATION / REVERB / ​​DELAY / COMPRESSOR / NoiseGAte etc ... and amp simulators ... Well, the conventional chain.

The pedals of expression Settings, routing CONTRL (Pitch, melted between two sounds, volume, Wha-Wha ...).

The manual ets clear enough, it's not Shakespeare but hey, it should be ....

SOUND QUALITY

I possde since its release, I used a lot (scne, studio, home studio, etc. ...). ox

It is robust, no ptards, it is effective issue sounds (as envirronnements can do without direct bote of Registration or the manual ...).

DIFFERENT styles I play Funk, Smooth Jazz, Reggae, Pop / Rock .... diffrent configurations of sound systems, and this is important and it is pretty darn efficient, versatile short, it's a great pdalier!! He is more than enough for both technically sound.

It's true there are better but for the price it is an excellent choice I think.

OVERALL OPINION

Jai was like many grateux the boss pedals and / or multi pdalier effects, I tried and got the korg / old Digitech, and many of distortion pedals (marshall, mesa boogie .. .).

Since I GNx2, ds I take my guitar, I think "GNx2" and that's it!
