Digitech has online sound communities, which is very, very powerful source, you can create and share presets, songs,and amp models.
DIGITECH GNX3 PATCHES SERIES
I think that the GNX series is THE leading pedal for amp modeling, or at least in some regards.

Having said this the power in the GNX4 is that you can "warp" the existing amp models to produce differant models and makes, or to create your own original sounding amp. If this was it for amp modeling in the GNX4 then it would be just another pedal, a average unit. But personally I don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars to through around buying amps, and this is a great realistic(enough) alternative. Does it sound exactly like the real thing? Doubtful, maybe similar, maybe true in some cases, maybe very close in others, but no amp modeler (that I have seen) can duplicate the exact true sound of an amp. This unit is meant to emulate a particular amp (or a "new" amp) so the sound you hear is a product of 3 things 1-Guitar, 2-Pedal ,3-Amp, so to have a fair test of the pedal we have to uniform number 1 and 3.ġ-So for number 1, to compare you need to be playing the amp and the pedal with the same 2-guitar!ģ-As for number 3 you can either plug in the said amp model into YOUR amp, or simply use headphones for the pedal!(make sure the settings are uniform as well, or at least fool around with them to see how close you can get) This pedal was made to Sound like Amps, you can pick the amp you wish, and then select a cabinet, then you can mess around with the Gain, Treble/Middle/Bass Frequency and levels, Sound is very subjective, and on amp models it is even harder to gauge, you start asking questions like "Is it realistic?", and "Is my amp corrupting the sound?". At the end of this search there were 2 choices that were really in the foremost of my mind, those were, the Digitech GNX4, and the Line 6 POD XT LIVE. When I go out to buy something of this magnitude, I usually go for high-end merchandise, and the ones that I think I will be using 20 years from now (though I am not even 20 yet), a 'one-time-fix' deal. Now I won't lie to you, I was taken in by the GNX4 partly because I loved all the accessories and I'm a fool for the "All In One" deals. I had the opportunity to try out several other multi-effects, and amp modeling units, such as the leading competitor the Pod XT-Live, which has nice sound which is in my opinion comparable with the GNX4(with tweaking). I started reading user reviews at Harmony Central,watching the video demos, reading and participating in the forums, reading the manuals, and listening to what the average user was making on their pedal. When I set out to find a new pedal, I first looked at the GNX series because I was pleased with my previous Digitech products. The GNX series is a combination of an amp simulators, and pedalboard all combined electronically in a rugged metal box. The GNX series does not only cut down on the stomp boxes, but also on the amps! Thats right, it models amps and simulates the sound so that you don't need to lug around your amps to every gig, this is known as Amp Modeling, and although it is frowned upon by some who say that its not "real", it provides a healthy alternative to buying several different amps (which can range from $500 or $5000 each). all combined electronically in a rugged metal box. Some companies have started producing "set" pedalboards which have several effects set up and the ability to create presets, the downside is that you cannot add to variety of effects that the company chose to put in the machine, but you have the convenience of having it all in one secure package costing quite a bit less then buying all the effects separately. Now thats a lot of equipment to setup move and lug around, so many create a pedalboard as seen above. Generally a guitarist will have distortion, delay, compressor, noise gate, tuner, Wah, and Chorus maybe a flanger or phaser for novelty, each of these effects connected to each other between the guitar and the amp.
DIGITECH GNX3 PATCHES PLUS
Most professional boxes go for $200 plus each, while middle of the road is generally 75-150. These boxes, known as stomp boxes, are distortions and effects, which are used to alter the tone to their particular preference. If you have ever watched a live performance you undoubtedly see that the guitarist and bass players have several boxes at their feet that they hit with their feet at times. The GNX series was designed to cut down on the average musicians equipment clutter and to just simply the musicians setup.

The Digitech GNX4 workstation was is a sequel to the popular GNX3 Workstation (which is surprising the sequel to the GNX2 and GNX1!). I have decided to review my most used piece of equipment in this post, which is the Digitech GNX4 Workstation. Hey Guys! This is my first Musical Equipment review, and probably the only one I will do for the next 2 years.
