DigiTech GNX3 Guitar Multi-Effects Pedal

No longer available at zZounds
Floor Guitar Effects Processor and 8-Track Recorder in one Unit.

Why someone hasn't done this before is anybody's guess, but the DigiTech team has jumped way ahead of the pack with their new GNX3 Guitar Workstation. For the first time, guitarists now have a complete, full-featured floor processor, plus an 8-track recorder combined into one unit, giving them a whole new level in creative power at a very affordable price.

Now, when a guitarist is practicing at home or is at a band rehearsal or jam session, those inspired solo moments won't be lost forever. And those magic riffs that come out of nowhere or are carefully worked out can be captured so you can get them down later. Just start the built-in 8-track recorder and all those "Wow, that was cool!" licks will be instantly recorded. And you can operate the recorder hands free.

But, the GNX3's power to unleash a guitarist's creative potential is fully realized in song writing. By utilizing the built-in drum machine and bass amp modeler, a guitarist can first lay down rhythm tracks on the built-in 8-track recorder (***Note: recording space is quite small without the use SmartMedia). Then selecting from the GNX3's unlimited library of amp models, DigiTech's exclusive and powerful CIT (Cabinet Imaging Technology) feature, and a complete set of on-board effects, the guitarist can then lay down the guitar tracks. When that's finished, vocals can then be recorded on the remaining tracks using the balanced XLR mic input on the rear of the GNX3. Even keyboards and DJ scratching can be added through read more the rear-panel instrument input. There's no limit! Plus, recording time can be greatly increased utilizing the SmartMedia card slot on the rear panel.

BEST DIGITECH HAS MADE YET !!!!
Sound
i'd say this is definately the best sounding digitech floor effets pedal!
Features
great variety, could have some better "crunch's" though.But being able to put wah on everything works out for me :). i would say this is all around an incredable buy for the price,also you can start getting used to the pains in recording ;), but this machine is what taught me how to solo and format recordings so i would highly recomend it, put another way the digitech gnx3 is what inspired me to be a musician!!!!!..... no b.s.
Quality
