am i the youngest person on the forum to own a gnx3?

i am 13 and i got my gnx3 for christmas.what can this thing NOT do?
also the gnx3 is very easy to use,when i saw it i was like how the hell am i gonna fig out how to use that,within three hrs i knew how to use most of it.

8 track recorder is great for harmonising with yourself

ive got some good sounds and i am saving up for the supermodels which guitar3456 has done.i love the jake e .lee patch it is just like him.

so any1 else

Johnny Jaded · March 2006

I think that's a yes.

Are you a spoiled kid. :P Why when I was 13, my multi-fx was well used big muff, black taped to a broken crybaby with one of those foot shaped gas pedals tied to it with a shoe lace. :shock: You think you got it rough...

Rock is good for ALL ages. That is one righteous gift Bro. Hours of enjoyment.

I'm 40, am I the second youngest? :P

well i would be spoilt if i had my dream setup which would be
gibson les paul standard
jackson rr1

marshall power amp and marshall cabs

in rack:
marshall jmp1
and all the rack effects

and my gnx3

hehe

ednrg · March 2006

When I was 13, I had an acoustic with a microphone hooked into my (cheap) stereo system with feedback all over the place when going higher than 3.

dmock66 · March 2006

I didn't even start playing guitar until I was 15 - so yes, you're a spoiled kid. 8)

My 15 year old son inherited my old Digitech RP200 and Marshall MG100DFX amp - but I did buy him his own Ibanez S370 axe.

... and I'm younger at 39 1/2 but I don't have a GNX3 so I suppose I'm disqualified on a technicality.

Truly - enjoy that tool for what it can do for you - but focus more on learning the art of being a guitarist. Equipment will come and go. Technology will change. Be a musician first.

Tal Rules · March 2006

I'm 52 now..
Got my first axe when I was 8..
A $12 Kay acoustic..

0Dannyboy · March 2006

:shock: 40! :oops: me too!

When I was a kid I had to walk to guitar practise up hill both ways...if i wanted stereo sound I had to duck tape to gorilla amps on each side of my head and if i wanted new strings....I had to chase a cat down to make them myself and...

jimj136 · March 2006

When I was a kid I had an air guitar!

I'm 46 now and 20 yrs younger than my brothers..

i'm 16, am I the youngest using a gnx4 on this forum?

P.s. just coz i'm young dont view my advice with skepicism

ACWild · March 2006

Alright, at 37, that makes me the youngest forumite who's not a teenager.

I started when I was 12 and had an acoustic. My guitar instructor told my mom that I couldn't \"graduate\" to the electric until after a year. That was a long year.

yeah maiden use marshall 9200 power amps and jmp1's

maiden and my other fav metal band ,judas priest,also use this setup but i think they also use jcm900

thehootman · March 2006

maiden and priest are also two of my favorite bands.
Ever since Rock in Rio they dont have the backwall of amps, instead a more theatrical style prop setup (no one actually uses those walls of amps) which I like.

Acwild: \"I started when I was 12 and had an acoustic.\"

Yes I had to play an an acoustic for 3 years before \"graduating\"!!!!

also priest dont have the marshall walls either,on the recent united tour the stacks were covered by the steps.

glenn tipton and dave murray r legends arent they

\"!!!!

thehootman · March 2006

They certainly are. I also reckon Janick is too. His work on dance of death and fear of the dark is great.

guitar3456 · March 2006

Most of those walls were seldom connected and more for show. I remember a sound engy saying \"if the audience sees all this stuff, they think the 30-40 bucks for a ticket is justified\". Look at stage rigs and count the mic's. Those are the live amps and the others most likely are props.

Kiss was known for this. Paul and Ace both had one or two stacks each on each side of the stage that was operable. The other 50 or more were props. Now the master PA, monitors etc was about 20,000 watts for an outdoor arena ! They had Three Semi's loaded with generators ! It was one of the most impressive operations I ever saw in my life!

Most Pro rigs today house the amps within the stage props unless endorsements require the artist to be visual advertsiment.

wickerman · March 2006

yeah,but u'd want ur stack on show,well i would.

when i went to see the darkness dan hawkins had 5 marshall stacks but only two were mic'ed up

RATE MY RIFF PLEASE

i made this riff myself on my gnx3

dmock66 · March 2006

Nice work! I can hear shades of your influences (Iron Maiden and Judas Priest) in there - two guitars playing harmonies through the riff - good stuff!

A lot of people get caught up in technology or the gimmicks - keep growing as a musician and a guitarist, a student of the instrument. I've seen video clips of Malmsteen playing \"blues\" and it's really just another shred-fest to a slower progression. I've seen him shred on a nylon string classical guitar. Former Racer X guitar Paul Gilbert, who is also most known for his shredding, is a well rounded guitarist. I've seen him truly play blues, classical - he does the style justice and plays it for what it is rather than just \"shredding\" under a different name.

Most importantly - have fun with it. The guitar is a gift - enjoy it!!!

yeah i know paul,he does a column in a guitr magazine called school of shred,he can sure play

iliace · March 2006

I'd imagine a dual purpose in many cases - one is most likely for show, but also in case some are blown (think Yngwie's master volume cover-your-ears type thing) they can readily hook up the next in line and put a few more on standby.

wickerman · March 2006

yeh
although only two of dan hawkins staks were miced they were ALL on switched on

wickerman · March 2006

found this on net

Yngwie has used as many as 31, although most of these are \"dummy Cabs\", which are onstage stage for visual effect and not actually used. For ease of transportation and lifting, most of these actually do not even contain any speakers. It is usually the case that maybe only 2 or 4 cabs are actually powered, as using this many could cause serious problems with the overall mix of a live show. The same goes for most of the amp heads in a scenario like this, as they are just the wooden frame with, in fact, no heavy inner workings.

Johnny Jaded · April 2006

I also gig with a wall of amp cabinets, but they are all powered and operational... of course it is a very small wall. More of a slighty imposing cubicle divider that cranks a little. :shock: Okay so it is really small wall, but it's not the size of the package... nevermind, it is the size of the package. My bad. :oops:

:P

Tal Rules · April 2006

Here's Wes Montgomery's rig... 8)
Talk about an amp and a wall of sound. :P .
That Standel is SWEEEEEET.. 8) .

You don't need a wall of sound..

Wes proved that by awesome playing 50 years ago.

sickstringz · April 2006

Got ya beat AC. I'll be 29 next week. I started when i was 12 or 13, i was in the 7th grade, 1990, about the time the music scene began transitioning from hair bands to grunge. I stayed grounded constantly, in my room no tube, no games, no phone, but they let me keep my guitar. It was a pawn shop strat copy with no name on it. That and a copy of back in black were my salvation.

wickerman · April 2006
