mine peeps a bit when u push it down/up but it can be fixed real easy by greasing it up a bit, the overal thing is pretty indestructable.

Value:
pricey but worth it, it's unique

Desirability:
cool look

Sound:
can get real cool sounds with it, the harmonic effects are cool can make the sound get realy evil if u use the 1 octave down harmonic

Feature:
Power adapter included. Features harmonizer that isn't very useful except for the octaves up and down and the fifths up. Divebomb and detune settings are great.

Quality:
seems sturdy. all metal.

Value:
For the amount it does, it's a decent price. It does seem, however, that once the initial coding or wiring is done for one effect, the others would be easy to make.

Desirability:
Would replace if broken, would not substitute.

Ease of Use:
plug it in, pick which effect you want and press the pedal down.

Feature:
This pedal has like 16 different presets so it has more than enough effects to keep you busy.

Quality:
Durable as one can be, and heavy too. Man, it added a lot of weight to the ol pedal board.

Value:
Its a pricey pedal, very much so pricey, but once i get everything down it'll probably be well worth it

Desirability:
I convinced myself to wait, and then 3 days later i went and bought it. Is than an addiction or what.

Sound:
This is a goofy pedal, definately not one to go about abusing and over using in songs, certain songs have callings for it because its such a unique pedal.

Ease of Use:
It takes a while to get it down to the t. Most people think it works like a wah wah pedal when in turn it is almost exactly opposite of that. Its a very diverse and unique pedal.

Support:
Havent had to use em

Overall:
I can only get more satisfied with this pedal. The only really bad thing about this pedal is that its hard to switch between presets during a song. Its a very cool pedal, awesome to have in your set up.

Feature:
I give it a 10 because they threw in the chorus functions as well. Cant do much with those functions, no knobs to turn, just one sound, except for the pedal. But it was nice of Digitech to throw in something extra. The ease of pitching excatly what you want with the expression pedal is woth mentioning. It`s very easy to pitch around with the expression pedal, and if you`ve set it to one octave up it lands exactly on the octave when you press it all the way back. I was impressed with that straight away when I got it, though you should expect it to be this good when it has the price tag it has.

Quality:
Indestruckable. I dont worry about breaking it anymore, because if it was breakable it would have been broken by now.

Value:
If a multieffect pedal/workstation like GNX4 has an equally good Whammy function I would rather recommend a multieffect one. But for me and my needs, this is the effect I use the most, only second to distortion.

Desirability:
It has good sex appeal, but it wuold have been much sexier if they removed the knob and put in a button for each effect instead. Then the switching would be much easier, since there are so few effects anyway.

Sound:
I love it. The only problem is that I get crappier sound when I pitch more than one or two strings at the same time. But to play fast riffs on two strings with the octave pitch on automatically boosts the riff coolness.

Support:
no problem with nothing. When the product is so good you dont need support I give it a 10.

Overall:
By using the octave pitch and the quint and ters all my riffs get cooler. Full chords sounds like crapp when they are pitched, but not the chorus functions. So if you want to pitch chords then buy a 12 string instead. I love the octave pitch. Try it. Just play what you normally play and get that old "wow it really makes all my riffs cooler" Whammy feelin`. I`m looking very much forward to getting my GNX3 so I can try out the expression pedal with wah and whammy together.

Feature:
You can use this one as a pitch shifter and a octave and most of all serve as your booster when you make any solos.

Quality:
The pad crank a little bit it make sound like a nails on the chalk board, but its only a minor. I own a digietch GNX-3, I bought it as a blem until now it work just fine only some minor problems. Digitech really makes good product, second to Boss interms of quality in my own opinion.

Value:
For its amazing sound I would say $200 is worth for what I pay, with a free adapter what else you can say? some pedal you must buy an adapter extra charge.

Desirability:
The wiked red machine is sexy..I'm a big Tom Morello fan. When I saw him live on stage before, I was totally amazed by his amzing skills. His the wizard of guitar sound and effects. This is his sidekick from rage to audioslave make it yours too and you'll not regret.

Sound:
This pedal is very sensitive, every step you make totally scream to the very end of the pitch. One of the most enjoyable pedal to play in my whole set-up. Digitech did really a good job for this one.

Support:
Never done yet..

Overall:
If you want the best sounding effect where it can scream your guitar to the very end point..until to the end of the world! This pedal is perfect for you. It unleashed your music creativity to the other side of this world.

Feature:
This product came with its own cable plug-in device, which makes this great so you dont have to use the 9 volt batteries. It does have a lot of features I do not use though on the left side. The octave changer on this product is spectacular.

Quality:
Nice red and black finish on the pedal. Easy to use and it is durable.

Value:
Good and offordable.

Desirability:
I must have this to play my guitar now.

Sound:
Sound quality is great. Perfect pitcheseven through switching octaves. Nice bass and treble sounds as well. It sounds unbelievable with some kind of distortion effect. I own this product and it has improved my playing ability

Support:
Didn't even need to call the company. But if I did, I had a number where I could call.

Overall:
I will be happy with this product till the day I die. And nothing could replace it.

Feature:
the different effects are insane. Some pedals have effects that sound coool but they dont have a use very much. THis pedal can be used in many ways. SICK!!!

Quality:
too lazy to write more. just look at the ratings

Sound:
THis is one of the greatest pedals i have ever heard in my life. Tom Morello uses this pedal in many of his songs while he was in Rage Against THe Machine (THe greatest band ever, if i might say so myself.) Also, he uses it in some songs in Audioslave. THe dive bombs and the tone changes this pedal can do is sweet. I am going to buy one soon.
