THE FLAGSHIP FROM DIGITECH'S AWESOME GeNetX RANGE
Meet the GNX Series’ top-of-the-line model. The GNX4 doesn’t replace the award-winning GNX3. It just takes the GNX3’s groundbreaking guitar workstation concept to the next level.

2004's latest release from DigiTech® is the incredible GNX-4 guitar mulit-effects processor with in-built 8-track recorder, MIDI drum machine, USB connectivity, MP3 Playback and more.

The features of the GNX-4 are beyond compare in any other contemporary unit released thus far in 2004. We'll cover as many as we can below. While you check them out download a sound clip played and recorded entirely on the GNX-4 by right-clicking the icon below and selecting "Save Target As".

A built-in MIDI drum machine that rivals standalone drum machines.
The GNX4’s MIDI drum machine sounds so realistic you’ll look for the drum stick chips. It has a vast library of high quality kits and patterns or you can use your own MIDI files. Plus, it can even play back your favorite MP3s. Download lessons from guitar magazines or play along with songs you uh, bought legally from one of those authorized download sites.

Specifications and features of the DigiTech® GNX-4™ at a glance

NB: To record "on-board" a Compact Flash card is required, the GNX-4 does NOT feature an internal memory. Compact flash card is NOT included. Research the prices of Compact Flash cards before buying a GNX4. The last thing we want is for our customers to find the limitations of no internal memory too restricting. Remember the option is available on the GNX-4 to record direct to PC via the USB output. Compact Flash cards are an essential part of getting the most from the GNX4 or similar digital recording devices when a PC or Mac is not at hand. For pricing of Compact Flash cards in Australia check out digitalcamerawarehouse.com.au, techbuy.com.au or mittoni.com.au.

Compact Flash cards start from as little as $39 for a 64 Mb card, 128 Mb's for around $55, 256 Mb for $85, 512 Mb for $150 or so, and all the way up to a $500 2 Gb Compact Flash card which can store up to an incredible 6 hours of recording time.
Also, a Compact Flash card reader would be a good investment. Starting from under $40 for a USB card reader you can't really go wrong.
