I really had a hard time at first getting the sound that I wanted out of this product that is why i gave it a 9. I know I won't be offering mine for purchase. This is a great buy, and as I said before it is now discontinued. I also Paid $699.00 for my unit, And I'm not disappointed. So over all I give the GNX4 9 out of 10 because of that reason. Also loading presets or shall I say saving them to the unit and to the flash card is a pain both are capable of holding 80 presets, That's 160 total that you have to save 1 by 1 there is no batch save that I'm aware of.

I do wish however that the unit would have and utilize the VST,VSTi plugins format, as of now, as far as I know, there is no compatibility. I use the GNX4 with Magix Music Studio 15 and it works great. I use the GNX4 live all the time and sound is great, although I would suggest using a clean channel power amp and not a regular guitar amp switched over to the clean channel, for home use and recording this is fine, but not so much live. Not to mention with purchase you get access to monthly free presets. He has a package of presets called "MFX SuperModels Ultimate Series" This is well worth it's price. I would strongly suggest that if you purchase or have the GNX4, there is a guy who models AMPs,Cabinets, and famous guitar wizards sounds. I play 80s metal/Hard rock (AC/DC,Ozzy,Dio Ect.) But the unit is capable of just about any sound you would ever want or need. With the X-Edit 2 software that comes with the unit, you can pretty much design your own sound, the possibilities are unimaginable. There still is a user forum where you can talk to others, get help, and download other user presets on Digitechs web page. Why Digitech discontinued this item is beyond me. I have had the GNX4 for 4 years, I have had other pedal boards, but none can match the quality and reliability of the GNX4. From Bass simulations, Acoustic guitar simualtion. I was impressed with my quick recording! The GNX4 will do it all for you. There was one little button I didn't read about. It all came together after I talked to some guru at Digitech's forum. Couldn't figure out how to play the MP3 at first. When I was done I made an mp3 of my song. Took a few minutes to get my computer right. You can edit tracks in the software it comes with. I could have thrown on vocals too but I was lazy. I recorded a drum track from a couple preset loops, used a bass creation sim for a bass line and added guitars.

I have an Atomic Reactor and the GNX4 sounds nice and clear with it. After that- music to my ears! Didn't come with a flash card so I had to buy one at Comp Usa. A little buzz then I remembered those back switches had to be pushed in. All the plastic was on the pedal and disp.
