How Do You Use GNX4 live?

in General Discussion and Chatter
Looking for examples of how people use the GNX4 live.

Using my old Boss ME5, each bank of 4 patches was set for one song or sound. Patch1 was rhythm (reverb); Patch2 was lead (more output, some delay); Patch3 was an alternative bridge (less output, chorus); Patch4 was no volume for outboard tuning or switching guitars.

Is this the concept you are using? Do you prefer the GNX4 stompbox concept? Something else entirely?

    In stompbox mode - where the five footswitches are amp channel, stompbox, modulation, delay, and tap tempo respectively - with needed patches arranged in order of setlist. Because you can save all loading settings for a patch (i.e. when the patch is loaded, the states of the five footswitches are as saved) it's pretty easy to set them up this way, and the possibilities are limitless. For instance, I can have a clean/distort in green/red of one patch, then a completely different sound with a stompbox and heavy chorus for a lead sound in the next patch - switch one up for the lead sound, and go right back to the previous one.

    Not to forget the options of control assigns

    Yeah! GNX3000 really ruined that whole experience for me :cry: . Here's an article on the subject.

    i mostly use one preset for each song (and name the preset after the song), so you have a setlist in your effects! I then use controller switches to switch tones throughout song.
    Plugged direct to PA (carefully tweaked :wink:) and quad for stage sound.

    i do the same as the hootman - i have one patch per song and just use the amp a/b switch, mod on/of and maybe something on the v-pedal, compression or delay for example, whilst performing.

    i've got a gnx1 so i don't have stomp boxes but the way i have the gnx set up makes it pretty easy for me to switch patches between songs without too much confusion and naming the patches after songs or band names means i always know which patch to use for each song.
