Re: Effects drop out (was RE: Digitech GNX4)
I have the GNX3. You can run it in stompbox mode - there is no
perceivable delay with effects on/off changes made within a patch. They
have a neat control footswitch that can be assigned to automatically
change 3 parameters simultaneously. A lot can be made of that feature.
But, yes, patch to patch changes are a little gappy.
