Effects placed post amp are those that typically sound best when heard in stereo like modulation effects, delay and reverb. Preset Levels The GNX4 presets each have an independent level control for quick balancing of the levels between presets. Ratio settings are: 1. As you speak into the microphone, your instrument mimics what you say.
There are five Talker types. Page Stomp Box Modeling Talker will have trouble tracking. If the input is too strong, the Talker will clip making the words unintelligible.
See Optimizing the Mic Input Level on page 13 for more information regarding mic level adjustment. The mic level sensitivity ranges are from Page Noise Gate A Noise Gate is designed to eliminate hiss and ambient noise while you are not playing.
A Noise Gate can also be used to create an automatic swell in volume. Page Flanger Effects and Parameters Flanger A Flanger uses the same principle as a Chorus but has a shorter delay time and adds regeneration or repeats to the modulating delay. This results in an exaggerated up and down sweeping motion to the effect. Ranges from bottom of the sweep point to top of the sweep point. Mod Mix - Knob 5 controls the mix of wet and dry signal.
Ranges from all dry to all wet. Page Autoya all wet. It makes your guitar appear to speak based upon the dynamics of your playing style. Parameter 1 - Knob 2 adjusts the Attack of the synthesized voice. Ranges from Parameter 2 - Knob 3 adjusts the Release of the synthesized voice.
Page Detune that turns off the input to the Delay and lets you play over the top of a passage in the Delay loop. Reverb Type - Knob 1 selects the type of Reverb or acoustic environment. Each parameter assigned to the Expression Pedal can have specific ranges of how much the parameter is controlled by using the minimum and maximum controls. However, you can configure the function of the Amp Channel Footswitch within a preset.
Page Lfos A minimum and maximum value can be assigned. For instance: if the Amp Gain was assigned to LFO1, and the minimum value was set at 1 and the maximum value was set at 99, the GNX4 would automatically sweep the amount of distortion from clean to distorted and back to clean. Individual LFO speeds can also be assigned. Page Creating A Preset HyperModel with a preset that gives your single coil pickup a humbucker sound, uses no Compression, has a Noise Gate that opens quickly, a subtle Chorus effect, no Delay, and a little bit of a Hall reverb.
The following guide steps you through the process of creating just that preset in the GNX4. Selecting a Preset The first step to create a custom preset of your own is to select a starting point. Therefore, you may want to change the settings. To access the Parameters for Channel 1, do the following: 1. The display briefly reads Amp Saved and then returns to the name of the selected preset. Page Adjust The Noise Gate 1. If we changed presets or turned the GNX4 off without storing these settings, it would forget what we had done and revert back to the original preset.
Bank Down Footswitch - Selects the previous bank of presets. Pressing and holding this footswitch scrolls down through banks. Preset Down Footswitch - Selects the previous preset.

It also has a MIDI input. Each of these inputs can be used to record audio and each has multiple different routing configurations available.
Nothing is sent up the USB 4 channel. Hope that's helpful. I found it useful to compare the sound to actual amps as I was programming and have been able to get quite credible emulations by tweaking tones to match. The cabinet emulation choice makes a huge difference to any of the amp models. The EQ includes low, mid, treble and presence, and if you want to get fancy, you can change the center frequencies of the tone controls to taste for each patch.
There are also useful bass amp emulations, and I've programmed suitable patches for violin and mandolin. Keyboards can bypass the guitar FX. You can run the pedal stereo or mono. Just turn the knob when in tuner mode.
Easy to to do by accident so be aware. Dial it as needed for the FOH feed but make sure it's hot enough to push the noise floor down. With output levels set up correctly, there is very little noise.
Negatives: -The little rubber feet tend to fall off eventually. However when you use it as an 8 track recorder for songwriting, each track is separate and you can play in song sections directly and build up your arrangements - it's a useful scratch pad and even capable of recording final tracks, although I would mix elsewhere.
Hope that helps. It's mostly fun, the UI is pretty good except for where the presence level is located and doing fancier switch programming and the time you invest will be well rewarded. There are useful resources on the net, it's worth a search.
Hello GuitarPilot, Thank you very much for your well written and informative message! That was so nice of you to take the time to share. You've given so much useful information that I'm going to print it and keep in in my GNX4 manual. When I bought my GNX4 I studied the manual a lot, highlighting and trying out different functions, but as you know better than I, the options are almost endless.
I was enthused with it enough that I also bought the Craig Anderton supplemental "Power User's" guidebook and it's been helpful also. Later, when I saw that the GNX4 had been discontinued by Digitech, I noticed the additional foot-controller was discounted on Amazon so I thought I should snap one up while they were still available. Back then I scoured the web getting info on the GNX4 and especially liked the Tutorials that Craig Anderton had that were linked at the Digitech website.
I was disappointed to find yesterday that apparently, they have been removed. I can't imagine why Digitech would do that as there must be a fair number of folks such as us who still appreciate the GNX4. I've put together a little recording studio for recording demos and haven't played out anywhere in years, though I did constantly for ages in the late 70s and early 80s. I made a fixture to hold my GNX4 on my studio desk tilted for easy access and my back and eyes appreciate it.
The foot-controller is on the floor and I think that's going to be a good setup. I know I'm missing a lot with that set-up. Thanks again, my friend. You're obviously a very knowledgeable professional and I really appreciate you sharing so much good information.
Have a great week! Thanks foxwaves. Glad that what I wrote was useful for you. I didn't even mention the XLR mic input with phantom power, headphone out, or the fact that it also works as a USB stereo audio interface for computers useful for recording and for mixing synth plugins played via a controller keyboard from a laptop. I have the extra 3-button foot switch, too, for controlling the looper without having to change the GNX4 mode. Make sure they are on when using it direct to avoid horrible fizz - might even be better to leave them on when driving a guitar amp.
There are many good choices these days, and the GNX4 still remains a useful and capable tool with some unique features. Last edited by foxwaves; 28th August at AM.. Glad to help. I haven't used anyone else's patches so I don't have an opinion on the MFX sounds. As you surmised, I roll my own on all my rigs.
Much more fun, and I feel it's rewarding to explore my tools and find what sounds good to my ears. But it's likely that there are great patches out there, and as you said those have gotten good reviews. IIRC the stock sounds are indeed repeated in the user bank so you can overwrite the user bank without losing the stock patches.
There are techniques used in some of the stock patches that may be useful to examine for use in your own programming. That said, I don't think I've ever actually used a factory patch on the GNX4 since none of them came close enough to what I was looking for.
