Digitech Gnx2 Firmware

I've had the DigiTech GNX2 for many years and I love it - the only problem is that I'm not good at setting or programming the effects that I want like I hear from the CDs I have - and I guess that's probably due to the fact that most guitarists I listen to use single effects and not a multi-effects unit like the GNX2. I'm hoping, though, that I can upgrade from the GNX2 to a Line6 PODXT pretty soon, though. I mainly play Christian rock, Southern rock, Country and Country Rock (think Eagles or Rick Nelson from 1969-1972).

Tutorial Tutorial Suppose you wanted to create your own HyperModel™ that incorporated the sweet tones of a vintage Tweed using an American 2x12 cabinet, and the ripping distortion of a Rectified Amp with a British 4x12 cabinet. Let’s also suppose that we want to be able to toggle between an acoustic guitar simulation and this new HyperModel™ with a preset that gives your single coil pickup a humbucker sound, uses no Compression, has a Noise Gate that opens quickly, a subtle Chorus effect, no Delay, and a little bit of a Hall reverb.The following steps guide you through the process for creating just such a preset in the GNX2. Select a Preset The first step to create a preset is to select your starting point.You can start with any preset, but for this example let’s start with Preset 40. Use the Footswitches or the Data Wheel to select Preset 40. Create a HyperModel™ For this example, we are going to use a vintage Tweed amp with an American 2x12 Cabinet, and warp it with a Recitified Amp using a British 4x12 cabinet.

Select Preset 40, and the GNX2 is ready to select the Amp Models (indicated by the Status button’s yellow LED). Select the Green Channel Amp and Cabinet The LEDs next to the Number 1 and Number 2 knobs are green indicating they will select the Amp and Cabinet types for the Green Channel.

To assign the vintage Tweed amp to the Green Channel, rotate the Number 1 knob until the display reads TWEED (Tweed). Then rotate the Number 2 knob until the display reads AMer2X12 (American 2x12). Select the Red Channel Amp and Cabinet The LEDs next to the Number 4 and Number 5 knobs are red indicating they will select the Amp and Cabinet types for the Red Channel.To assign the Rectified amp to the Red Channel, rotate the Number 4 knob until the display reads rectfied (Rectified).Then rotate the Number 5 knob until the display reads BRit4X12 (British 4x12). Tutorial Adjust the Green Channel Parameters The Tweed amp that we selected for our Green Channel assignment uses the factory default settings for the Gain, EQ, and Level Parameters.Therefore, you may want to change the settings.

To access the Green Channel Parameters, press the STATUS button. All horizontal LEDs light green indicating that all 5 knobs will adjust the Green Channel Parameters. Rotate the Number 1 knob to adjust the Tweed Gain. Rotate the Number 2 knob to adjust the Tweed Bass. Rotate the Number 3 knob to adjust the Tweed Mids.

Rotate the Number 4 knob to adjust the Tweed Treble. Rotate the Number 5 knob to adjust the Tweed Level. Adjust the Red Channel Parameters Like the Tweed amp in the Green Channel, the Rectified amp in the Red Channel may need to be adjusted to suit your personal taste. To access the Red Channel Parameters, press the STATUS button.

All horizontal LEDs light red indicating that all 5 knobs will adjust the Red Channel Parameters. Rotate the Number 1 knob to adjust the Rectified Gain. Rotate the Number 2 knob to adjust the Rectified Bass. Rotate the Number 3 knob to adjust the Rectified Mids. Rotate the Number 4 knob to adjust the Rectified Treble.

Rotate the Number 5 knob to adjust the Rectified Level. Tutorial Tune the Cabinets (optional) You may also want to adjust the resonance for the American 2x12 and the British 4x12 Cabinets. To access the Cabinet tuning for both Red and Green Channels, press and hold the STATUS button until the display reads CAB TUNe (Cabinet Tuning). Release the Status button and rotate the Number 2 knob to adjust the tuning for the Green Cabinet ( gtune º0) and the Number 5 knob to adjust the tuning for the Red Cabinet ( rtune º0). Once the tuning of both Cabinets has been adjusted, press the STATUS button to return to Performance mode. Warp the Green and Red Channels Together When the Amps and Cabinets in our Green and Red Channels are dialed in to suit our taste, we can Warp their characteristics together to create a new HyperModel™. Make sure your GNX2 is in yellow mode (indicated by the yellow lit Status LED).

If it is not in yellow mode, press the Status button until the Status LED turns yellow. Then rotate the Number 3 (Warp) knob to blend the Amps and Cabinets in our Green and Red Channels. Save the HyperModel™ Now that we have designed our own Amp/Cabinet HyperModel™, we need to save it to one of the 9 User HyperModel™ locations.

This allows us to use it in presets. Press the AMP SAVE button until the display reads NEW AMP and the first letter ( N) is flashing. For this example, let’s name the HyperModel™ “Rectweed” (Rectified Tweed). Rotate the DATA WHEEL to select R as the first letter. Then press the RHYTHM button to select the next character in the display. Continue using the Data Wheel and Rhythm button until the display reads RECTWeeD.

When the display reads RECTWeeD, press the AMP SAVE button again. Now we need to choose one of the 9 User HyperModel™ locations.The alpha-numericdisplay should read EMPTY (Empty) and the red numeric display should read U1 if this is the first HyperModel™ stored to your GNX2. Press the AMP SAVE button again to save to this Amp location.The display briefly reads AMP SaVD (Amp Saved) and then returns to the name of the selected preset. Tutorial Select Models for the Preset’s Channels In the previous steps, we selected a Tweed for the Green Channel and a Rectified Model for the Red Channel.Then we Warped the two together to create our HyperModel™.This HyperModel™ is saved as an amp type that we named Rectweed, but it is not currently part of our preset. In this example preset, we need to be able to toggle between an acoustic guitar simulation and our new HyperModel™.To do this we need to select the Acoustic model for the Green Channel and Rectweed for the Red Channel of our preset.The LED next to the Status button should be yellow.

If it is not, press EXIT. Now rotate the Number 1 knob until the display reads ACOUSTic.This is the Green Channel Model for the preset. Rotate the Number 4 knob until the display reads RECTWeeD (our new HyperModel™).This is the Red Channel Model for the preset. This lets us toggle between these two sounds using the Amp Footswitch (when FX Mode is active).

Edit the Preset The next step to creating our example preset requires entering the Effect Edit mode.To do this, press the EFFECT SELECT DOWN button. The Matrix LED in the Wah-Pickuprow lights. The display briefly reads EDIT and then cycles between the status of the Wah and Pickup Simulator effects. If the red display reads on WAH On, press the STATUS button once to turn it off (since our example is not using a Wah). Select the Pickup Type In our example preset we are using a single coil pickup, but want it to sound like a double coil humbucker. With the Wah-PickupLED lit, rotate the Number 4 knob until the display reads SC>Humb. This makes a single coil sound like a Humbucker.

Tutorial Turn the Compressor Off We don’t want to use compression in our preset so, we need to turn the compressor off. Press the EFFECT SELECT DOWN button. The Compression LED lights and the display shows the current status of the Compressor. If the Compressor is on, press the STATUS button until the red display reads off ( Of). Install Windows On Mac Powerbook G4. Turn the Whammy™/IPS Off We don’t want any Whammy™ or IPS effects in this preset.

Press the EFFECT SELECT DOWN button, and the Whammy/IPS LED is lit. If the display indicates that either one of these effects is active, press the STATUS button until the Display reads off ( Of). Turn the Stompbox Modeling Off We don’t want any Stompbox Modeling in this preset. Press the EFFECT SELECT DOWN button, and the Stompbox LED is lit. If the display indicates that it is active, press the STATUS button until the Display reads off ( Of). Adjust the EQ The EQ for both the Acoustic Model (Green Channel) and the Rectweed HyperModel™ ( Red Channel) can be adjusted individually.

To adjust the EQ, press the EFFECT SELECT DOWN button, and the Equalizer LED lights. The GNX2 defaults to the Green Channel EQ adjustments. Therefore, the display briefly reads EQ green. Rotate the Number 1 knob to adjust the Red Channels Bass enhancement. Rotate the Number 2 knob to select the center frequency for the Midrange.

Rotate the Number 3 knob to adjust the Mid-rangeenhancement. Rotate the Number 4 knob to select the center frequency for the Treble. Rotate the Number 5 knob to adjust the Treble enhancement. Press the AMP Footswitch to select the Red Channel’s EQ adjustments.The display briefly reads EQ red and the same knobs adjust the same EQ Parameters for the Green Channel.

Tutorial Adjust the Noise Gate For our example, we want our Noise Gate to open quickly with a relatively weak signal.This type of gate uses the Silencer™ with a low Threshold and short Attack Time. Press the AMP FOOTSWITCH to select the Red Amp Channel. Press the EFFECT SELECT DOWN button and the Noise Gate’s LED lights. If the display reads off ( Of), press the STATUS button until the display reads on ( On). Rotate the Number 1 knob until the display reads SILeNCeR for the type of gate. Rotate the Number 2 knob to set the Threshold to 20 (this may need to be adjustment depending upon your guitar).

Rotate the Number 3 knob to set the Attack Time to 0 (fast attack). Turn the Talker™ Off In our example preset we don’t want the Talker™ effect to be used. With the Gate - Talker LED lit, rotate the Number 4 knob until the display reads talk off. This will turn off the Talker™. Select and Adjust the Chorus Next we wanted to thicken up the sound in our preset by adding a subtle Chorus effect.

Press the EFFECT SELECT DOWN button again and the LED in the Chorus/Mod row lights. If the display reads off ( Of), press the STATUS button until the Display reads on ( On). Then rotate the Number 1 knob until the display reads Chorus ( Chorus) for the effect type. Rotate the Number 2 knob to set the Chorus Speed to 5. Rotate the Number 3 knob to set the Chorus Depth to 30. Rotate the Number 5 knob to set the Chorus Level to 50.
