![]() The first of these is made up of the seven large-format (well, large enough if you don't wear size-12 boots!) footswitches and the expression pedal. What's Under The Floorboard?Īs you can probably tell from the photographs, the hardware layout consists of three elements. Apparently, there wasn't room for a kitchen sink, but it is pretty clear why Digitech have given the GNX4 the 'guitar workstation' title. While its floorboard format means it is a live-performance unit, the GNX4 also includes a drum machine, an eight-track audio recorder, a mic preamp with phantom power, and a USB-based audio/MIDI interface with software supplied for both PC and Mac. However, the GNX4 is more than just a studio amp modeller. Latest in this line, and at the top of the pile in terms of features and price, is the GNX4. ![]() The GeNetX amp-modelling technology used in the Genesis series has continued to develop and has now found its way into the GNX floor units. With products such as the rack-based 2120 Artist, the J-Station (under the Johnson brand name), the relatively budget RP-series of floor units, and the Genesis desktop amp modellers (the Genesis 3 was reviewed by Paul White back in SOS October 2001), they have a good pedigree. In terms of hardware amp-modelling units, two formats dominate: desktop/rack units such as the PodXT or Behringer V-Amp, aimed predominately at studio use, and pedalboard units such as the new PodXT Live or the Vox Tonelab SE, which are equally at home either live or in the studio.ĭigitech, in one form or another, are a well-established player in this market. ![]() Indeed, there are probably a whole generation of recording guitarists who have never even felt the urge to stick a microphone in front of a real guitar amplifier/speaker-cabinet combination. ![]() Unless you have just returned from an extended period in a sensory-deprivation unit, it will have been impossible to miss the rise and rise of the guitar amp modeller, whether hardware or software based. Is it an amp modeller? Is it a multitracker? Is it an audio/MIDI interface? We stomp the facts out of Digitech's new box. ![]()
