Digitech Gnx4 Review

When I first heard about DigiTech's GNX4 Guitar Workstation — a modeling and multi-effects processor that's also a pedalboard, a standalone 8-track digital recorder, a USB audio and MIDI interface (with included DAW and editor-librarian software for Mac and Windows), a looper, a drum machine, a mic preamp-DI, a card reader, and more — I was skeptical. I wondered if its feature set was overly ambitious.

But after working with it for several weeks, my skepticism has vanished. The GNX4 does what it promises, and does it well. It's an intelligently designed unit that will benefit any recording guitarist, especially one who is new to digital multitracking.

1: In addition to its modeling and multi-effects functions, the DigiTech GNX4 is an 8-track recorder, a USB MIDI and audio interface, a mic preamp, a looping device, and much more. But the GNX4 is more than just a recording product — it's a formidable live-performance tool. It provides gigging guitarists with a wide range of sounds and effects and, because of its speaker-modeling capabilities, you have the option of plugging straight into the P.A. The unit's onboard CompactFlash-based 8-track recorder and MP3 player would be a godsend for solo acts that use backing tracks. They could record or import their material into the GNX4 and control playback using the unit's footswitches. Punjabi Songs Yo Yo Honey Singh Mp3 Free Download. Because EM focuses on the personal studio, however, this review will emphasize the GNX4's recording functions.

It's outfitted with seven large footswitches (a row of five and a row of two), an expression pedal, and an assortment of hand-controlled switches and knobs. Most of the rear panel (see Fig. 2) is dedicated to I/O. You get a high-impedance instrument input, an XLR input for the built-in dbx mic pre (which has a -20 dB pad and switchable 48V phantom power), a pair of ¼-inch balanced line inputs, two ¼-inch balanced line outputs with an output adjustment knob and a speaker compensation (simulation) switch, two balanced XLR line outputs (with an output adjustment knob, a speaker compensation switch, and a ground lift switch), a footswitch input for an optional recording-control unit, a ¼-inch headphone output, MIDI In and Out jacks, and a USB port. 2: The GNX4's rear panel is where connections are made for its various types of I/O, which include analog and digital audio, and MIDI. DigiTech clearly made an effort to keep the user interface (especially for the guitar-sound engine) as straightforward as possible, considering the unit's ample feature set. The GNX4's GeNetX Amp Controls Matrix — a gridlike combination of buttons, knobs, switches, and parameter names on the unit's front panel — is used for programming effects and amp models.

Along with the two main LED displays, it allows you to thoroughly and quickly edit guitar-sound parameters without having to dig deep into menus. The trade-off for this easy-to-use interface is that the size of the parameter names printed on the front panel had to be shrunk in order to fit. They were so small that even when I sat down with the GNX4 on the floor below me, I found them difficult to read.

One of the programs included with the GNX4 is Cakewalk's Pro Tracks Plus. Pro Tracks Plus is an audio recording and editing utility for the PC that Twelve Tone Systems created in collaboration with Cakewalk (of Music Creator fame). The program features hands-free recording capabilities in conjunction with such music authoring devices as those used for instrumental multi-effect processing.
