Feature:
This is where the difinition of ROCK is made! You can read up on the faetures in the descriptions but my fav's are: Built in recorder. Built in Drum machine that has kit variables. You can import any midi song you find and use those drums too. 99 Midi songs, 99 mp3 songs for EACH compact flash card you have. I thought it was just 99 period, but it's even more now since I have 3 cards with songs on them. The Flash card (doesn't come with it) has area for built in recoder tracks, midi, mp3 songs, and 80 more patches. I didn't now I get 80 more patch storage for each card. That's 160 at a time and how Kewl is that? It's an Audio interface for PC recording, has the Whammy built in and a looper. Wanna go output to a board no probs, use the XLR. Want to go out to amp or wedges same time, no probs, use the inst outputs. Need a Mic pre with 48v phantom power, it's there. My GNX-4 has everything under it's hood!
Quality:
Read about it before I bought it. Solid and stable so far. Good reviews helped ease any worry of build quality. GNX-4 is steel construction and road worthy to me. Just don't bump or jam the USB cable while it's inserted. Couple guys told me that so I'm careful.
Value:
Worth every cent!
Desirability:
Silver two tone w blue. Great sound and attn to detail.
Sound:
Sound from the models and effects are nice and clear. Give a boost on the Compres and it takes off. Keep the noiz gate down. Patches have it set kindof hi. Factory presets demo the features. Start with one and cut back effects levels. Best starting point for new sounds when I do it. Same said for other brands too that I tried. After having an RP7 I really am glad I jumped on GNX-4 workstation.
Ease of Use:
The book is clear. So many features. Take time to RTM. If you get stuck the support forum has some good topics. Mine is used at church, at other gigs just with a sound pa sys. Couple XLR's is all. Used it with another guitar amp and had to work some sounds to get it where I wanted. I wanted a simple Mar tone and effects through my Crate 130. Turning the compress off and the gate down fixed my sound using that amp. I want to get a better amp next round of Gas.
Support:
Ex Forum, great service from them. I never had to call mfg for anything.
Overall:
Products change. Will I be upgrading soon? I don't think so. My GNX-4 is so crammed packed with features, won't need too. Matter of fact, I was looking at new gear and nothing has all the features this does. After reading other reviews maybe the super-models packs will be next. If my GNX-4 was stolen "I pitty the fool"!!! What I Like most about it? I'd say the facts it is an all in one device for a musician on the go. I travel, so this is perfect in every way. I can do anything with it where the other pedals require hooked up to a computer, and some not having the output sound options I wanted either. This is what sold me on my GNX-4 purchase! There is nothing at all like it. I'm a musician. I like to play. I hate menus and tweaking. I want great sound, recording options on the player. You only need 1 inst cable and output cable or headphones. Don't need cd's , mp3, or computer to jam along side. GNX-4 has it all!

Feature:
I'm not afraid of reading lol. The manual shows this has far more features than on the box. Recorder to the box or Computer. Comes with Software recording pack (others charge for it). Comes with cables and discs. The comp edit program is large interface and easy to use. GNX4 display and led's are bright. It's easy to control with knob array. No lcd menus :) Has the full +48v phantom power for a microphone. Has a drum machine with loops and different drum kits. Had teh XLR and Line in and out features I wanted for my mixer too. And it has a compact flash recorder with 8 track on the fly recording capability. Exactly what I wanted. USB options also are on it.
Quality:
It was heavier than my POD. Has a metal frame and bottom. Pedal is cast and heavy. Movement is smooth. Looks like it's built for all uses.
Value:
This is not a new unit. But is the only one with the routing and recorder features around. No other modeler has the mutitrack in it and you have to use a computer. GNX4 does both.
Desirability:
Built well, plays great. My recordings come out nice. The designs are cool and the color is good enough for me.
Sound:
Tried one out before buying. This one was not talked about too much at the store. I don't think they knew how to use it. Sales guy was stering me on a new Line 6. I wanted a recorder. Told me the Line 6 records too. No, I need one on the device. I bought this GNX4.
I was impressed with the sound. My guitar was clean and no buzzy beeish fizz. It has a speaker compensate control button.
Ease of Use:
I was dialing sounds fast. Its easy to change the factory sounds. Has 80 user presets and 16 banks. Has 3 modes of opration. Sound does not drop off when you change a preset like my pod did. The manual is good and shows examples of connection and routing. Only learning curve was figuring out the assignments. Those were explained at their forum pretty good. It didn't take only a few minutes. It's easier to sort out with the pc editor.
Support:
Had some questions and emailed support. Had an answer in less than a day. So that was good. There's other web sites with information. The GNX4 is not new gear. With so many users it's fine to have their input to make this easy to use. My firmware was 1.3. That's the latest. There have been no bugs reported afaik.
Overall:
GNX4 has been around for more than a year. It sounds great. It has all the options and gadgets I needed. I wanted a drum machine, a recorder and a modeler in one. I also found it plays MP3's. Didn't even look at that. That was another plus. Now I have backing track playback! Maybe time to try the model add on's. I can't say anything bad about the GNX4. It is a quality product with any feature for a musician to write songs and throw down ideas. You can do that anywhere with this. No other modeler pedal boxes let you be as free from a computer. Most of them are limited and proprietery. Grab yours before the product fades out of production. Digitech sales guy said this is the last of the Workstation pedals with on the fly features and multitrack.
