"I'm Happy with This!"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

I really like several of the presets as they have much body for the guitars (Fender solid bodies and Gibson semi-hollow)I use. The Line Out sound can be very high quality including descent drum sounds but you might have to tweak setting a bit.

Feature:

This is an all in one package that is very convenient for recording practice, quickie or low budget sessions. After owning several weeks, I can't quite get the computer to do all that I wish but that may be a limitation of my PC laptop or knowledge at this point. Also not as much flexibility of sound as other high end guitar effects units but there are enough good sounds. Remote footswitch was extra.

Ease of Use:

Although there is a learning curve, you can get up and running fairly quickly. I was recording on the first night. You'll need memory to record but it's handy and .WAV files can be copied to 3rd party PC sofware. The book is adequate but is lacking an index.

Quality:

The device appears to be well made certainly for home use.

Manufacturer Support:

Not used

Value:

I think the product is well worth the cost.

The Wow Factor:

I don't know about sexy...maybe a guitar is sexy, but this is well made and capable of stimulating your creativity (hopefully) and I think that is sexy enough!

Overall:

Although this is one of several effects units I own, it will be used for ease of recording and will compliment my other equipment.

"It's incredible - Must Have!"

This reviewer purchased this item from Same Day Music.

Sound:

This product has extremely accurate amp modeling capabilities. So don't waste your money on a modeling amp - buy this instead. You get virtually unlimted sound capabilities along with Stompbox features. Just get a low budget amplifier and plug this in - you will be astounded!

Feature:

I wish that the recording control switch was integrated rather than being a separate (optional - $40) switch. The drum machine is an excellent tool to practice timing with. You just need to visit their website as there are just way too many features to list here.

Ease of Use:

It takes a while to fully understand how to use this device. That is because it is so feature rich. Use the forum if you get stuck: http://www.guitarworkstation.com/forum/

Quality:

It's built like a tank - heavy duty. It weights 18 pounds! The switches seem tough enough, but the knobs are delicate. Just treat it like your guitar and take care not to beat it up.

Manufacturer Support:

Have not had to use support. However, they have an excellent forum for this product here: http://www.guitarworkstation.com/forum/ I found this to be very useful to fully utilize the GNX4.

Value:

I bought mine at 15% off with a $50 rebate that came back in ten days. It is an incredible value - tons of features.

The Wow Factor:

Looks great and big LED digits. The main thing is to program your own presets so you can step through a song set easily.

Overall:

I expect to keep this thing for years.

Style of Music: Most anythign - rap (the root word of crap) and country mostly rock tho

Experience: Active musician in band and school

"1/3 of your set. A KICK ASS BOARD, a guitar and an amp."

Sound:

Excellent. The sound quality is great, if it doesn't have your personal flavor... make it. 1 2 skip a few.Do you have any tips to make this product sound better? There could have been a bit more space on this already big board to space the buttons. I can't count how many times i hit the wrong thing. Maybe it's just me tho:(

Feature:

Yes. The digital recorder w/ the software which helps make jam sessions into cds!!! Haven't found a feature i don't use every time yet. A sandwich maker.The looping feature is phenominal, and i feel that the features and components and dohickeys put on this great board rule!

Quality:

It is made pretty well but the one thing i noticed, as in almost all other digitech products is the plastic buttons!!! they would be bad if they were sealed with rubber or something. I already can see that there might be problems down the road with dust or something in it... unless the hardware inside is sealed but i can't tell. That and the buttons aren't sensitive. You have to push the button the way it wants to be puushed not just tap it or wut ever.That was the only thing i saw with the quality i would have changed myself.

Manufacturer Support:

yes.yes. yes.not really, they didn't know if the cf card i bought was the right one by description. They kept saying try it but the guy at radio shack told me there is no refund if you open it.so it was back and fourth till i tried it and luckily i got the right one.

Value:

Most deffinately worth it! Over all the value, the bang for your buck, the quality and response for every dollar was worth it. i got the price down to $535.00 but if i had to pay fuyll it would be worth it.

The Wow Factor:

Looks great but the only thing that slightly turned me off was the buttons and the gap between them and the metal. besides that it's all there and waiting to be "plucked" off the shelf and "tucked in" safely with my other belongings.

Overall:

4-5 years if technology doesn't explode and come out with something better for cheaper. (prolly not gunna happen)i was looking at boss gt6 but this is more of everything i wanted and the recorder is an awesome, awesome, awesome dream come ture. It very much so reaches and exceeds my original goals for the product i wanted but now i,ve set them higher but not out of reach for this product. ...can i set them out of reach for this product??... is it possible??...

Style of Music: Rock, classic, sound texture-based

Experience: Play and record

"I'd rather have this than any other MFX out there!"

Sound:

When it comes to sounds, this unit is capable of nearly anything. If you have any understanding at all of how amps/cabs effects work and know what you're after, cahnces are this unit will do it. Also - if you get the SuperModels CDs for this, you not only save yourself a ton of time, but the sound quality increases dramatically; with the Supermodels, this thing would get an 11 for sound.

Feature:

They include what you need to get playing, but they don't include a CF card (you MUST get one asap, at least 256-512MB, better 1 or 2 GB). But they include a USB cable, and an excellent software bundle. BUT - the software bundle can be a little hard to load/implement. At least there are forums, advice, and updates available online. I also didn't like having to pay an extra $40 for the recorder footswitch, which I find vital to have. I also like the fact that it's very programmable and has variables that you can set to suit your own needs - very few MFX and no single effects do that!

Ease of Use:

The manual, while bulky, is perfectly clear and very user-friendly. As far as using it straight from the panel - you'd better be a reasonably experienced knob-twiddler, or you'll be confused at first. That said, for such a complex and capable unit, I think the interface is pretty great. There's a lot of very small buttons (in order to fit it all in), so it's not easy to use under the gun (live, onstage, you'd better have your stuff already set!).

Quality:

Fit and finish are good, it's heavy and sturdy. Metal case is nice, but the pedals are plastic. Buttons are not as "sure" operating as I'd like. Knobs are also lightweight and won't stand up to much abuse, same for the jacks/connectors. But overall I think it's built as well or better than anything out there in the effects world.

Manufacturer Support:

They're pretty easy to reach and work with, and seem to have some idea of how to help you. Much mre than can be said for most hi-tech type companies. (BITE ME, Microsoft!!!)

Value:

It's pretty steep for the casual or novice musician, but then again, those types probably won't buy something like this unless they're really looking to get serious. It's not a toy.

The Wow Factor:

I think they made a good cross between visual appeal and functionality. It's not as "high-tech" looking as you'd expect such an expensive unit to be, but it's pretty cool looking and you get used to the "busy" look it has. You could buy it for it's looks alone, but once you know what it can do and how it sounds, you'll lust for one.

Overall:

I expect to have this a long time. I'd only replace it if it were broken/stolen/or I wore it out and it couldn't be repaired. I do plan to spend the bux for the SuperModels CDs; consensus is that you can't own a GNX without having them. I chose this one after having a GNX3; it has better capabilities, although the '3 is a great place to start if you're cash strapped (it costs about 1/2 as much as a '4). I don't think there's any other units in its' class that I'd prefer; whiel they might be easier to use, this one definitely has capabilites I'd hate to give up.
