Re: Effects on the floor? ( was Re: Lexi MPX1)
Hi Mark,
I recently got the GNX3 and so far I love it! It is not an EDP or a
Repeater but the 8-track recorder allows you to record 8-tracks or loops
which can be recorded using the foot pedals. It works as a looper or as
an
8-track recorder but so far I have only explored looping. I record a
blank
first track for the length of whatever piece I want to perform and create
my
loops from there. The unit has some decent presets and in stompbox mode
allows some realtime effects tweaking via the footpedal. I am on vacation
next week and hope to dig into this pedal more, so far I am pleased with
it.
Currently I don't use any floor effects when playing live with a band
other than a Roland GR-33 but I was looking for something to use with a
solo
act and I felt the GNX3 could do it. I will try and write a small review
next week after I've had some time to play with it.
Thanks,
Weg

I saw mine for that price while picking up MIDI cables at Guitar Center,
but
I
bet any big music retailer would match that price.
My floor is officially full up. I can't put another pedal on it. I'm
actually
toying with the idea of getting rid of my Digitech 2120, because with the
Control 1, it takes up a big chunk of floor space, as well as two rack
spaces.
I know it get's a bad rap for some reason, but I actually really like that
box. I think the key to getting a good sound out of it is not going into a
guitar amp afterwards, but into a pair of full range speakers, but I
digress...
Is there something really hot that lives on the floor? Something like the
Digitech GNX3? Anyone have it here? It seems to have nice looping
posibilites. Korg AX100? I love my (now dormant) AX30, but it needs a
nice
preamp after it to sound beefy.
