I take the features already mentioned:
• Metal
• 50 7 effects modules
• 8 simultaneous effects
• 120 programs (60 presets + 60 user)
• Sampling frequency: 31.25 kHz
• 7 amp simulations
• ZNR: Zoom Noise Reduction (noise suppressor)
• Chromatic Tuner
adding that the connection could not be simpler: one IN, one OUT / phone and it is
everything!
UTILIZATION
Very easy to set up after a quick read of the manual, you begin to quickly search the sounds according to our needs.
SOUND QUALITY
My current configuration leads me to only use modulation effects and reverb / delay, the rest for my part unnecessary.
I use a Peavey Classic 30 with two channels clean and lead (both suit me perfectly).
My guitar, a Lag RS 100 is connected in series with a Marshall Jackhammer overdrive pedal that I use to boost returns and the input of the amp.
The GFX 3 passes through the effects loop in series with a Boss CH1 (chorus) upstream and thus serves me just like an effects pedal and volume.
The result is really convincing, I have no breath and can adjust the effect is even simpler. I use an effect such as preset by the delay. Each piece, depending on the tempo will have a different delay, in this case, I can simply change the preset to get the necessary delay. The same goes for the effects of modulation: the tremolo is, for me, beautiful!
When I do not need to because I bypass (not a true bypass but frankly it is little agreement) without any problems.
In this configuration, I would not recommend using the GFX 3 equalizer because it aporte too much breath. As against the noise reduction, even at minimum is very efficient, do not overdo it or you will not be a pumping sound, not really nice.
I'm not a fan of modeling, except to play and practice my headset, however, I think it's the least successful part of this pedal. The distortions are quite aggressive and sound a little "plastic", either through headphones or plugged into an amp. This is the real weak point of this pedal.
OVERALL OPINION
I use this pedal for the past seven months, I've already done a lot around.
What I like:
strong side (reassuring)
the possibility to use only certain parameters and to disable others (such as distortion, EQ, compressor ...)
Quality effects alone (chorus, tremolo, delay, flanger ....)
What I like least:
The distos, equalizing the breath of the breath of the compressor (difficult to adjust)
For that price I can have only one pedal, then I pedal with different settings and I pass from one to the other seamlessly (practice on stage)
My pedalboard is beginning to grow and the GFX 3 is a further effect affordable.
