*** WARNING! ***
This is not just a muti-purpose. Neither a simple multi-effect, too.
This is a Guitar Workstation, a concept initiated by Digitech many years ago. It is a digital USB interface for guitar and bass (mono) / voice (mono) / audio (stereo) 4in/2out allowing re-amping, MIDI interface, a BAR and finally ... a simulator of guitar pickups (HB-HC and HC-HB), effects, amp and speaker
The routing capabilities are amazing. With a PC GNX3000 and we have a complete recording studio staff.
It is designed to be connected to a computer or sound system. There, that's fine. It can be plugged into a guitar amp or low but at the cost of individual settings depend on the insertion point (input, loop or Poweramp in). In other words, it is doable but not really for!
In terms of features, they are already listed. Missing the presence of a microphone preamp DBX. The power supply, 15V phantom, so a bit tight for some microphones.
UTILIZATION
Simple as pie, provided it is used properly and that people read the leaflet, of course. It has a rather intuitive PC software that simplifies configuration and editing.
SOUND QUALITY
When you know the hack ... it's huge!
As usual ', the presets do not do it justice. However, we can find a good guitar for clean tones, crunch or distorted at will. Special mention for the acoustic guitar simulator. Models for bass are fabulous. The preamp, DBX done a good job for the voice and the taking of acoustic instruments. The routing allows to assign the effects to the input line: with a synth, it opens up new sonic territory.
There is a community accessible through the Digitech site that makes available hundreds of presets, which provides a working basis inexhaustible. Those who think that GNX3000 is not able to release a proper distortion on a guitar there have obviously not done a tour ...
OVERALL OPINION
It is the successor to the GNX4. He was abducted on 8 track and added a processor for even more realism in simulations.
And it's actually the big problem of the machine: the sudden, it looks like a beast pedal when we are in the presence of a Swiss Army knife for home-studio-ist, not a multi-purpose. It's really designed to do everything and do it well. Even for the live, plugged into an amp rather than a guitar or bass sound, the result can be excellent. on the other hand, this requires well know to bypass the individual elements of the audio.
Obviously, if we expect a digital guitar pedalboard, it must be frankly skeptical by contacting the monster. But when it was chosen for what it is, it is happiness.
