hile other manufacturers have

dedicated their R&D efforts to

exploring dedicated amp

modellers and stompboxes in recent

years, DigiTech has stuck the course,

pushing at the limits of the pedalboard

multi-FX format. Over the last couple

of years, though, the Utah-based

company has pushed things even

further. With the RPx400, they took the

basic layout of the RP300, but turned it

into a recording and practice hub,

supplying recording/sequencing

software for a PC, which can then be

controlled from the RPx400. DigiTech’s

latest, the GNX4, is like a combination

of RPx400, GNX3, BNX3 (the bass

version) and a whole lot more.

Right out of the box, the GNX4 will

work perfectly well as a multi-FX unit.

There are 80 factory presets, plus 80

memory slots for user presets, and an

optional memory card can add space

for up to 80 extra presets. As with all of

the RP and GNX units, the component

parts of a patch are shown in the matrix

layout, though this has been made

clearer on the GNX4 (a good move,

seeing as the matrix is now so huge).

There are now 10 bass models in

addition to the 15 electric guitar

models and one acoustic guitar model,

and in keeping with the expanded

nature of the GNX4, the preamp

section now lives in a separate part of

the matrix, above the parameter knobs.

There are four sections for the

preamps. The yellow GeNetX line is

where you choose the amp and cabinet

models for the two amp channels, as

well as warping them together if

necessary. The green and red lines deal

purely with EQ settings for each amp

channel, while the fourth (white) line

contains the traditional amp controls:

gain, level, bass, middle and treble. To

adjust the overall level of a patch on the

GNX3, you had to adjust the volume for

both amp channels, but the GNX4 has a

single overall preset level control. And

speaking of controls, the GNX4 has

continuous encoders in place of the

standard pots on other models.

While we’re looking at the main

control panel, let’s examine the various

functions covered by the footswitches.

The function of each footswitch

depends on the mode currently active.

In preset mode, the GNX4 works like

any patch-based effects unit; the bank

up/down switches scroll through, and

the ﬁve patches within each bank are

selected using numbered switches.

Normally, pressing any number a second

time puts the GNX4 into bypass, but if

you’ve selected the ‘preset bounceback’

facility via the utility menu, that second

press returns to your previous preset.

This is great for when you want to

quickly switch between two sounds

without having to look at your feet.

In all three modes, further functions

can always be accessed by pressing two

footswitches simultaneously: 1/2

enables or disables drums/mp3 sync,

2/3 bypasses the amp models and

effects, 3/4 accesses the tuner, and

4/5 changes the footswitch mode.

Our next port of call is stompbox/

control mode. Here, the up/down

switches scroll through the patches

rather than the banks, and numbered

switches allow you to select or deselect

individual components of the current

patch. This is a fairly common facility

nowadays; for BOSS users, think of it as

being able to switch from an ME-33 to

an ME-50 at the push of a button.

Hitting footswitches 4 and 5 again

activates recorder mode. Put simply, you

now have a multitrack digital recorder

at your disposal, without having to take

your hands off your guitar!
