Seeking recommendation - GNX4, GNX3000, or...?
Hi,
I'm in the market for a new guitar effects processor and am trying to find the best thing I can get without breaking the bank. It will be for both live use and recording.
I obviously want something with good sound quality and selection of effects, a built-in drum machine with good sounds, MIDI, a USB port, and phrase trainer. Onboard multi-track recording is a big plus. Right now I'm considering the GNX4 and the GNX3000, as well as Korg's PX5D Pandora.
Is the GNX4 worth an extra $200 over the 3000? What can it do that the 3000 can't?
Anything else I ought to consider?
Many thanks for any recommendations!!

The GNX4 is foremost an amp modeler. If you already have an amp you like and are looking for a multi-effect device only, the GNX4 would not be my first choice. For straight multi-effects processing, I like the Boss GS-10, but it is a discontinued item. You can find them used for around $200. But again, I don't know about the phrase trainer and midi capabilities on it.
As far as MIDI goes, I'm not looking for anything complicated, just the ability to transmit and receive (import/export drum patterns, etc.).
Does the GNX4 have the \"Learn-a-Lick\" capability? I know the GNX3 did, as well as the GNX3000.
Nice comparison. Thanks!!
I've heard the GNX4 has also been discontinued (although it's still available through retailers). Any truth to that? If so, what are they planning as a replacement?
