Audio Routing Setups Audio Routing Setups Setups Introduction The GNX3000 is equipped with four inputs and four outputs that can be configured several different ways for both live and recording applications. These settings determine which pair of outputs the guitar processing, MIC and LINE INPUTS are routed to and how the MIC or LINE INPUTS are routed through the GNX3000’s effects processing.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual The six OUTPUT SETUPS are as follows: Stereo All ( steroall ) All input sources (guitar, mic, line inputs, drums, and USB playback) are routed to both output pairs in stereo. Speaker Compensation can be turned on and off independently for either the 1/4” or XLR OUTPUTS using the Speaker Compensation menus (see page 24).
Audio Routing Setups Mono 1/4 ( mono 1/4 ) All input sources (guitar, mic, line inputs, drums, and USB playback) are routed to the 1/4" OUTPUTS in mono. All input sources routed to the XLR OUTPUTS maintain stereo separation. Speaker Compensation can be turned on and off independently for either the 1/4” or XLR OUTPUTS using the Speaker Compensation menus (see page 24).
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual Split 1 ( split1 ) Stereo guitar processing and any inputs routed through the GNX3000’s guitar processing are routed to the 1/4" OUTPUTS. Audio playback from the computer, mic dry, line dry and drums is routed to the XLR OUTPUTS. Speaker Compensation can be turned on and off independently for either the 1/4” or XLR OUTPUTS using the Speaker Compensation menus (see page 24).
Audio Routing Setups Speaker Compensation Both the 1/4” and XLR OUTPUTS can be used in a variety of ways. They can be plugged directly into guitar combo amp inputs, XLR inputs on a power amp connected to an external speaker cabinet, into mixer channels, and directly into full range studio monitors. Depending on which application you are using them for, you can enable or disable Speaker Compensation on either output pair independently.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual Mic and Line Setups You can configure the MIC and LINE INPUTS routing for live performance and recording applications. The GNX3000 acts as a mixing device for MIC and LINE INPUTS, and can eliminate the need for a mixer when the outputs are to be plugged directly into a full-range powered speaker system. When enabled, these inputs can be routed around or through some or all of the effects processing and then mixed directly into the GNX3000’s 1/4” and XLR OUTPUTS.
Optimizing the Mic and Line Input Levels Optimizing the Mic and Line Input Levels To properly use MIC and LINE INPUTS for recording, it is best to optimize their levels for best signal to noise performance. This can be done one of two ways on the GNX3000: Mic Level Optimization The MIC INPUT has an input level that can be used for optimizing the levels for singing live, recording tracks to the computer, and matching levels with your guitar.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual Hooking It Up Live Performance Setups The GNX3000 was designed to be extremely flexible to meet any of your application needs. For many GNX3000 users, its primary purpose will be for use in live performances. The following diagrams show examples of how to utilize the GNX3000 in typical live performance applications. NOTE: Before making connections to the GNX3000, make sure both the GNX3000 and your amplifier(s) are turned OFF.
Hooking It Up Medium Stage Setup (Stereo Amp Rig) Whether your gig is at a large club or a small hall, nothing beats running your guitar in stereo. This diagram demonstrates a typical setup using your GNX3000’s LINE OUTPUTS, and two guitar combo amps. Amplifier Amplifier Guitar Input 1/4" Balanced Outputs 1. Connect your guitar to the GUITAR INPUT. 2.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual Large Stage Setup (Stereo Amp/Cabinet Rig) A large stage rig lets you really pull out all the stops since space isn’t necessarily an issue, but volume usually is. For this application, plug your guitar into the GNX3000 and connect mono instrument cables from the 1/4" OUTPUTS into a stereo power amp feeding two cabinets. Using two cabinets gives you much more dramatic stereo separation and helps widen the sweet spot for your sound when you move onstage.
Hooking It Up TalkerTM Performance Setup The built-in Talker effect creates a talk box effect. To use this effect you must plug a microphone into the GNX3000’s MIC INPUT and select one of the five Talker types in the Whammy™/IPS/Talk module of a preset. Then as you play your guitar talk into the microphone to emulate the talk box effect. The Talker can be used with any output setup, but for this diagram it will be shown in conjunction with a mono amp rig.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual Computer Recording Setup The GNX3000 offers tremendous flexibility for recording applications. Shown below is a typical recording setup. Computer Powered Studio Monitor USB Cable Powered Studio Monitor Microphone Audio MIDI MIDI Keyboard Mic Input Guitar Input XLR Balanced Outputs Line Inputs Headphones GNXFC Foot Controller (Optional) At the heart of your recording studio, the GNX3000 serves both as your guitar processor and audio/MIDI interface.

Amp/Cabinet Modeling Cabinet Types Fender, Ampeg, Ashdown, Sunn, Fane, Acoustic, Hartke, Eden, and SWR are trademarks of their respective companies and are in no way associated with DigiTech®. Editing Amps and Cabinets Each GNX3000 preset has three channels, Channel 1 (green), Channel 2 (red), and Warp (yellow). Amp channels 1 and 2 have selectable amps and cabinets. Each channel has independent controls for gain, level, EQ, and cabinet tuning.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual Selecting Amps and Cabinets The first step to editing an Amp/Cabinet model, or creating your own HyperModelTM is to select the Amp and Cabinet model for Channel 1 and Channel 2 in your preset. The procedure for selecting Amps or Cabinets is as follows: 1. Press the GENETX AMP CONTROL button. 2. Use KNOB 1 to select the Amp for Channel 1. The Amp name appears in the display. (See page 44 for a complete list of Amp Models.) 4. Use KNOB 2 to select the Cabinet for Channel 1.
Amp/Cabinet Modeling Cabinet Tuning Cabinet tuning actually changes the resonant frequency of the selected cabinet. This is useful for changing the tonality of your sound without having to touch the EQ parameters. Tuning down gives the sound more bottom end while tuning up enhances higher frequencies. The procedure for tuning the cabinets is as follows: 1. Press the CHAN ONE EQ or the CHAN TWO EQ Amp Control button to access the Cabinet Tuning parameters. 2.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual 3. Use the NEXT button to move to the next character (to the right), or the PREV button to select the previous character (to the left). 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 you have finished naming the new HyperModelTM. 5. Press the AMP SAVE button again to select one of the 9 User HyperModel locations. If all HyperModel locations in the GNX3000 are available, the display will read U1. The U1 flashes, indicating that this is the first available location for storing a HyperModel.
Effects and Parameters Effects and Parameters The GNX3000 features a comprehensive set of effects for creating just the sound you need for any musical application. These effects are connected in a standard effects chain with pickup simulator, wah, compressor, WhammyTM/IPS, and distortion stompbox effects placed before the amps. Effects placed post amp are those that typically sound best when heard in stereo like modulation effects, delay and reverb.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual Effect Definitions Each Effect within the GNX3000 is fully programmable. Understanding how these effects modify the sound, and how each parameter alters the effect will help you achieve the sound you are looking for. The following overview outlines how each effect and parameter in the GNX3000 works. Wah-Pickup A Wah is an effect controlled by the EXPRESSION PEDAL. A Wah applies a boost in gain to a narrow band of frequencies.
Effects and Parameters Compressor A compressor is used to increase sustain, and even out the volume dynamics in guitar signal. A compressor sets boundaries for a signal’s strength. When a signal exceeds the set boundary, it is forced back into the set boundary. As the signal fades to a point where it no longer exceeds the boundary, the compressor expands the signal strength and increases sustain.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual WhammyTM/IPS/Talk This module includes four types of pitch altering effects: Whammy, IPS, Detune, Pitch Shift, and the TalkerTM effect. Only one of the effects in this row can be used at a time. After selecting the type of effect in this module, the Knobs 2-5 can then be used to adjust the individual parameters associated with the selected effect. The following pages describe each effect and their parameters in more detail.
Effects and Parameters Whammy Whammy is an effect that uses the EXPRESSION PEDAL to bend the pitch of the incoming signal, or add a bendable harmony with the original signal. As the Pedal is moved, the note bends either up or down. When Whammy is selected, it is automatically placed before the Amp Modeling as shown in the block diagram (see page 50). The Whammy effect must be linked to the Expression Pedal in order to function. See page 75 for more information on linking the EXPRESSION PEDAL.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual Intelligent Pitch Shifting (IPS) Intelligent Pitch Shifting makes a copy of the incoming signal, and then changes the pitch of the copied note to a diatonically correct interval specified by the Amount parameter. An Intelligent Pitch Shifter sharpens or flattens the shifted pitch in order to keep the specified interval within the selected key and scale creating a true harmony. Parameter 1 KNOB 2 selects the Amount or harmony interval for the Intelligent Pitch Shifter.
Effects and Parameters Detune A Detuner makes a copy of your incoming signal, takes the copied signal slightly out of tune from the original, and mixes the two signals together. The result is a doubling type of effect as if two guitars were playing the same part together. Parameter 1 KNOB 2 selects the Amount (AMouNT) of detuning applied to the copied pitch in cents (100 cents equals 1 semitone). Ranges are from 24 cents below (-24) to 24 cents above (24). Knob 3 No function when Detune is selected.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual TalkerTM The Talker is an effect that lets your instrument’s signal be manipulated by your voice. The Talker requires a microphone be connected to the MIC INPUT on the rear panel of the GNX3000. As you speak into the microphone, your instrument mimics what you say. There are five Talker types. Type KNOB 1 is used to select one of the 5 Talker types. Talker Types range from talker 1 (deep tonal characteristics), to talker 5 (bright tonal characteristics).
Effects and Parameters Stompbox Modeling The GNX3000 Modeling emulates the tones of the most popular distortion boxes ever used including the DOD® OD250TM, Boss® DS-1TM, Arbiter® Fuzz FaceTM, Electro Harmonix® Big MuffTM, ProCo® RATTM, DOD® GrungeTM, Boss® Metal ZoneTM, Ibanez® TS-9TM, Voodoo Labs® Sparkle DriveTM, and the Guyatone® OD-2TM* and the Roger® Mayer OctaviaTM*. Stompbox On/Off The STATUS button turns the Stompbox Modeling on and off. Type KNOB 1 selects the type of Stompbox to be used.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual Gain KNOB 2 controls the amount of Gain or Distortion in the Stompbox model. Range is from 0 to 99. Parameter 1 KNOB 3 acts as a Tone control for each Stompbox (no function on DOD 250, Big MP, Guy OD, Fuzzy and 8tavia models) and controls the Mid Frequency of the Zone model. Range is from 0 to 99. Parameter 2 KNOB 4 acts as a wet/dry control for the SparkleDriveTM and tone control for the Grunge Stompbox models and controls the Mid Level of the Zone model. Range is from 0 to 99.
Effects and Parameters Noise Gate A Noise Gate is designed to eliminate hiss and ambient noise while you are not playing. A Noise Gate can also be used to create an automatic swell in volume. The GNX3000 includes two different types of Noise Gates: Silencer and Pluck. The Silencer operates as a standard Noise Gate. The Pluck feature is designed to close after every note (depending on the Pluck Sensitivity). This allows automatic volume swells to occur on a note by note basis.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual Chorus/Mod Effects The Modulation Effects group is a multi-function module allowing you to select effects such as: Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Triggered Flanger, Triggered Phaser, UnivibeTM, Tremolo, Panner, Vibrato, Rotary Speaker, AutoYaTM, YaYaTM, SynthTalkTM, Envelope Filter (auto wah), Detune, and Pitch Shift. Only one of the effects in this row can be used at a time.
Effects and Parameters Chorus A Chorus adds a short delay to your signal. The delayed signal is modulated in and out of tune and then mixed back with the original signal to create a thicker sound. Parameter 1 KNOB 2 adjusts the rate (Speed) of the modulation. Ranges from 0 to 99. Parameter 2 KNOB 3 adjusts the intensity (Depth) of the modulation. Ranges from 0 to 99. Parameter 3 KNOB 4 adjusts the PreDelay (PREDeLaY) or length of time before the Chorus effect is applied to the input signal.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual Flanger A Flanger uses the same principle as a Chorus but has a shorter delay time and adds regeneration (or repeats) to the modulating delay. This results in an exaggerated up and down sweeping motion to the effect. Parameter 1 KNOB 2 adjusts the rate (Speed) of the modulation. Ranges from 0 to 99. Parameter 2 KNOB 3 adjusts the intensity (Depth) of the Modulation. Ranges from 0 to 99. Parameter 3 KNOB 4 adjusts the amount of feedback (Regen) added to the Flanger delay.
Effects and Parameters Phaser A Phaser splits the incoming signal, takes the split signal in and out of phase and mixes it back in with the original signal. As the phasing changes, different frequencies are canceled resulting in a warm sort of twisting sound. Parameter 1 KNOB 2 adjusts the rate (Speed) of the modulating phase. Ranges from 0 to 99. Parameter 2 KNOB 3 adjusts the intensity (Depth) of the modulation. Ranges from 0 to 99.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual Triggered Flanger A Triggered Flanger is the same sound as a regular Flanger but it lets you choose the starting point of the Flanger sweep. With a regular Flanger, the low frequency oscillator (LFO) is continually sweeping up and down. Therefore, when you begin to play, the flanger may be at the top, bottom, or any random point of the sweep. With a Triggered Flanger, every time the signal exceeds the Sensitivity level setting, the Flanger begins at the LFO Start Parameter.
Effects and Parameters Unovibe Based on the Unicord® UnivibeTM pedal, Unovibe adds a lush chorus or rotary speaker effect to your tone. Parameter 1 KNOB 2 selects either the chorus or vibrato effect. Parameter 2 KNOB 3 adjusts the intensity of the effect. Ranges from 0 to 99. Parameter 3 KNOB 4 adjusts the pedalposition. Knob 5 No function when the Unovibe is selected. Tremolo A Tremolo effect modulates the volume of the signal at an even rate.
GNX3000 Owner’s Manual Panner An Auto Panner modulates the sound from left to right at an even rate. Parameter 1 KNOB 2 adjusts the rate (Speed) at which the signal pans from side to side. Ranges from 0 to 99. Parameter 2 KNOB 3 adjusts the intensity (Depth) of the changing pan. Ranges from 0 to 99. Parameter 3 KNOB 4 selects the type of wave form the modulation uses. Choices include: Triangle, Sine, and Square. Knob 5 No function when the Panner is selected.
Effects and Parameters Rotary Speaker Rotary Speaker is an emulation of a device that includes a spinning horn and rotor (woofer). The rotation of these two speakers produces an interesting combination of sound panning from side to side, as well as a slight pitch change due to the speed of the sound coming towards, and then going away from the listener. Parameter 1 KNOB 2 adjusts the rate (Speed) of the spinning speakers. Ranges from 0 to 99.
