GNX3000 Owner' s Manual

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the GNX3000 Guitar Workstation . The
®
GNX3000 delivers an award-winning GeNetX multi-modeling guitar processor,
™
General MIDI drum machine, and USB Audio/MIDI interface in a single integrated
package. Combined with the included suite of recording, editing, and production
software, the GNX3000 Guitar Workstation is a complete solution for your performing
and recording needs.
The new GNX3000 Guitar Workstation® also features our new advanced Component
Based Modeling™ for the most authentic tone you've ever heard.
Traditionally, amp modeling has been done either by electronic measurement or
A/B comparison between the physical amp and digital algorithms. These methods
can create a single amplifier "tone snapshot." But as we all know, a classic amp is a
complex instrument.
Component Based Modeling analyzes the signal path, individual components and
acoustic behavior of an amp: preamp and tone stage topology, the type of power stage,
its feedback structure and tube saturation characteristics, how the speaker and output
transformer interact, cabinet size and composition, and much more.
When combined with traditional electronic measurements and hundreds of hours of
critical listening, the result is the first modeling that distorts, saturates, overdrives and
generally behaves the way the original amp's designers intended. The only thing more
real is the amp itself!
The GNX3000's intuitive user interface makes programming as simple as turning a
knob. However, your time would be well spent by reading through the Quick Start
section on page 3 (as well as the rest of this Owner's Manual) with your GNX3000 in
front of you.
Be sure to visit the sound community at www.digitech.com and
www.guitarworkstation.com to exchange custom amps, presets and songs. Plus you can
get all the latest updates and lots of cool tips and tricks.
