Just thinkin
Last week I had the guitar and GNX-3 home all week. Usually I keep them at church and practice or fool around with the acoustic at home. I played all week with headphones in stereo. I was using the Voxtop patch with a little rotary, delay and reverb. I was fooling around with Hillsong's Hosanna (in G), I worked out at way to use LZ's Stairway to Heaven as an intro with the key change. Played with it for an hour or so and then had Marie my daughter put on the headphones for a listen. She liked it.
Anyway the GNX units sound so nice in stereo through the headphones it makes practicing fun. Sunday at church I hooked up to my amp (mono)and although it sounded ok it wasn't the same as with the stereo headphones. And we didnot play Hossana. Oh well it sounded good through the headphones.
peace

You may be hooking up right anyway, because I know you've been around this stuff a long time, so I'm just thinkin' too. :P
See if you can get better results by using the effects send/return, and turn off the Eq. channel on the amp to use the effect as the pre-amp and tone shaper, and see if that helps.
What I found helps is if you can put the signal between the preamp and the power amp. (thinking in terms of two blocks)
You will notice a difference in tone on some of your patches, if you split your signal between the two, using the effects loop, giving you line level instead of instrument level.
(less noise interference)
Another thing is to be sure that when you're hooked up to your mono amp at church, to be sure the GNX's output setup is set to put mono signal out of the outputs you've connected to your amp; otherwise you'll \"lose\" one side of the FX'd signal, and that wouldn't sound so great.
And don't htink so much. \"Thinking\" about Shania all the time is what has has me in a perpetual frenzy.
The problem is the cabinet emulator and pre-amps.. I ponder. :?
Lets surmise a little.
You have your line in's on the back of your amp, right and left for stuff like multi-effects processors.
Left being your mono hookup, or your effects loop send/return.
You need a Y-cable if you want to use it as an effects loop, or just run a couple guitar cables,
Hooking it up with the guitar cables leaves the speaker emulation on in your amp, just run your GNX output to stack return, and shut off the speaker emulation on the GNX, so you are not pushing into the one on the amp. Set your amp to clean as you can set it to keep your amp preamp from coloring your patch. You're going to bypass your amp pre-amp, going to the ends through the speaker emulator, then out through the power, thereby using the GNX as your pre-amp, and eliminating as much amp coloring as you can.
There is one way in that bypasses all that. Go straight into the CD inputs. That bypasses your amps preamp and cabinet emulation, and then runs just your amps power like a power on/off switch, leaving your GNX to run all your controls and pre-amp. You will need a pair of 1/4\" to RCA adaptors, then run your RCA cables right to the back of your amps right and left CD inputs.
I think...er I reckon that will hopefully help...? Maybe about as much a chance as Shania coming to \"mike night\" in Telluride? :?

Thanks man, it's a tough crowd tonight.
thats almost as funny as the joke
it'll hit ya........uhm........thursday at 3pm :P
on topic..................i play through a stereo pa so it always sounds great.especially with a panning delay with a touch of chorus
