Value For Money :
Excellent
- What are the effects or types of effects available?
- What technology is used? (Analog, digital, tube ...)
- Is this a rack or rack-mount model?
Well almost everything is said below,
Preamp / Multi-Effect / capture card for guitar (when connected to a PC via USB) all digital!
For effects and simulations, the notice below gives all so I invite you to look
- What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
1-in Guitar
1-Headphone output with adjustable gain
1-loop effect
1-Line Out
etc etc etc. very complete!
+ Midi In / Trought / Out
+ RJ45 connector for self-powered Control 2
- Are they edited? Via an editor Mac / PC?
Editable directly by the facade (a bit tedious) or by connecting to the PC via USB and using X-Edit software very intuitive!
9 / 10 because it lacks digital outputs ADAT or AES / EBU I chippote but hey!
UTILIZATION
- The general configuration is it simple?
On the front a little tedious, say he must love tampering but found THE sound quite easily.
Via the PC is a rare simplicity!
- Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?
Nothing complicated, if one is tempted flew over the manual and that it is already set up amps and / or pedals.
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...
Clear, precise, provided they speak some English, and then the machine is fairly intuitive so you can even do without a manual.
10/10
SOUND QUALITY
The right a little copy / paste from my post on G.com
Well first, with neither pc when I received or power amp or guitar amp head (I have been slow to make up my mind but this one, a small Krank Rev1, is going to happen pastarder) j did it a branch of the atypical
Guitar -> GSP in -> Return of my head bass amp bypass the preamp and use only the portion of amplification -> Baffle mounted Eminence Governor
After reviewing the wizard and the different simulations, well my friends it sounds!
Indeed, being a major user of all that is simulation software (Amplitube, Guitar Rig, and consort), it is miles away from them! I had many opportunities to make the comparison between the software and various amps and the sound certainly was not bad but the software smoothed the sound of the guitar, leaving not express his personality!
In contrast to these simulations, the GSP allows the guitar to express his personality while having enough options for the most numerous and very convincing:
_The Sounds are crystal clear and my guitar pickups waiting to be switched in simple way to let the blues-man who is holed up in my left hand and unleashed her little inspiration or, conversely, let it sink a little ride embellished with the sound of a small chorus / delay / reverb (and yet I am not a fan of effects!).
But it does not stop there, given the number of simulations cleans everything is possible, moved from its clear, airy and crystalline sounds a little dark for quite a few chords chained unhealthy!
_Ensuite Cruncher we try to make the beast sent to a small AC / DC and you realize right away the potential of the beast is alive and crunches respond very well to the attack and are particularly compelling and we give free rein to some a little more rhythmic rock, whether modern or a bit older.
_In End is allowed to explode a few of our violence by sending its abundance saturated with heavy riff decorated with palm mute and we see the limits of the beast. While the simulations typed Mesa and consort are particularly convincing but there is still a little bitter taste of coldness and synthetic that purists will not be convinced. Never mind, it's still quite usable and it always appreciates hearing the grain of the guitar gains despite a somewhat probing!
But the GSP is also an effects processor and we say thank you to the comparisons with Lexicon reverbs provide us with quality! Other effects are not leftovers, delay, phaser, flanger, whammy compressor, saturation, virtually all the effects are of a quite amazing for the price (except for wha wha a race that badly proportioned and is not exploitable).
A reproach against by level simulations cab that I tested on my monitor speakers, it sounds so, but as if the speakers were enclosed in a box made of anything but wood is hard, dull !
Anyway this is only notice after a few hours of use! (I did not try to register to make a real comparison with the simulation software but it does not slow)
So a small 8 / 10 for now
OVERALL OPINION
- How long have you use it?
A week but I went a few hours
- What is so special that you like most and least?
+:
_The Respect for the guitar
_The Simulations for the most convincing
_The Effects
_The Connection
_L'aspect Practice knife-Swiss
-:
_Quelques Simulations
_The Wha wha
_The Lack of digital connections
- Have you tried many other models before buying it?
I have owned a few multi-effects before, I have some pedals (but rather that I dedicate to the bass) and I have used simulation software, the least we can say is that finally sees an evolution of the simulation in accordance with the grain of the guitar and the quality simulations and effects!
- How would you rate the quality / price?
Just over € 450 on a German site that you all know, it plays in the band of flat pod and others multi-effects rack of the type G-Major and I must admit that given the opportunity, it is an excellent quality / price ratio!
- With experience, you do again this choice? ...
No doubt!
