Score dood! I've been looking for GNX300 forever!

Sorry bud. Noobie-abuse is a sickness, but at least I've admitted I have a problem. :oops:

As for YOUR problem - it ain't patches. RTM!! :roll:

You mean X-Edit.

I agree you have to have somewhat of a foundation to build on. At least a cursery read of the manuel will firmilirize you with the unit & how to use it.

A patch is a file that contains stored settings for the unit be it GNX4 GNX3K? Even other modellers use Patch file's to save all there particular settings for a effect, or amp model, Artist sound etc.. There are odles of patches at the sound community. I'll post the link to the 3K stuff since that is what you have. Like Illiace said you will need to load X-edit on your computor & plug the unit in thru the USB to load & edit various patches. Much eazier than doing things manuel on the unit! Anyhow welcome Steve! you'll get things figured out just be patient & don't expect to master all the units power in a day!! It takes time to be fluent in the GNX Language.

The term patch comes from old days when you had to physically use patch cables to get different sounds. So one patch might be Noise Gate --> Distortion pedal -> Amp -> Chorus. Another patch might be Wah -> Amp -> Delay. Imagine having all those units separately, and replugging each time you need to switch to the other sound. Since you have a GNX, you don't have to - just push a button and you're golden!

I could have sworn I wrote an FAQ on patches before, but I can't find it now. I must have imagined it. :shock: This was the video that inspired me to get my first GNX - not a guitar obviously, but illustrates the concept, plus mad cool.

connect your GNX to your pc and setup the drivers and software that came with the unit. Patches posted can be downloaded for audition with XEDIT and saved to the user banks of your GNX3000.

Dood. You'll still be scratching the surface weeks from now, if not months.
If you're lucky.

Actually you have more to mess with on a gnx3, you just have fewer stock amp models and not a very spiffy drum machine. But you got the recorder/looper, and the assignable footswitch (my favorite GNX3/4 feature) - tons of possibilities.

i really dont see why they're done upgrading the gnx3. if they had even expansion packages for it to make it a little more modern like the gnx3k or the 4 im sure they'd make a ton of money, at least from me they would.

Thas' what I'm getting at. I had the GNX3 for almost a year, and I've had a GNX4 for almost three, and I still keep finding new stuff it'll do. Beetchin'.
