Members alby Posted August 4, 2006 Members Share Posted August 4, 2006 I am going camping for a month and I want the most versatile do-all guitar processor I can find. I will be bringing a laptop too, so I guess could have some laptop interfacing as well, but I do not want to get real complicated or have too many different components all wired together on a camping picnic table, or in our little trailer. I used to have a Korg Pandora PX4 and it was OK but rather noisy at times and quite limited for recording. I do not need something that can run on batteries as I have good 120 volt inverter power. It seems like maybe the DigiTech GNX4 is the best overall? I also looked at the new Boss RC-50 looper and although it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wilbo26 Posted August 4, 2006 Members Share Posted August 4, 2006 Considering that you'll most likely be limited to battery power only, I would take a MicroCube and a ton of batteries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wilbo26 Posted August 5, 2006 Members Share Posted August 5, 2006 Originally posted by alby I guess my budget would be the cost of the DigiTech GNX4 = $500 US. Hmm, well maybe get that then? My brother had an older version of those, decent amp emulation, and I'm sure they've improved them by now. Having a drum machine and 8-track recorder built in is damn handy.

I read about that one and as I understand it the drum machine is not really much of drum machine at all. I am not pretending to be an expert it's just from this review below.......one thing I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wilbo26 Posted August 5, 2006 Members Share Posted August 5, 2006 The version my brother had was pretty much the same, but it was older than the GNX3 even. Just drum loops that played to tempo. If you really need a drum machine, it would be cheaper to just get a cheaper multi-fx box and get a cheap but real drum machine like the Dr. Beat or something.

Members Wilbo26 Posted August 5, 2006 Members Share Posted August 5, 2006 To be honest, if you're going to have a computer, there are so many programs for guitar that will entertain the shiat out of you around that you might want to consider that. As long as you have a fairly fast laptop with a good soundcard in it you might be good with that. I guess the real question is, would you have any need for the GNX-4 after you got done with the trip??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
