![]() ![]() I tend to get something I like and stick to it. The noise is a nuisance, but the tone is great. Started out with classical as a teenager, now and then I play rock type stuff or just experimental. I wouldn't use it as my only effect, but in the chain it is excellent. Set right they will shred amazingly well. If these are set wrong - you will get mush. You do have to set the input and output levels very carefully as this influences the tone a LOT! Same for the GFX. The warmth and punch make it stand out real clearly. It sounds very respectable and professional. If you want the full flexibility of the new pedal boards - don't get this. For the money it's probably a 10, but relative to other stuff, it isn't that versatile. Also, have noticed that the GSP-5 to GFX-1 tends to feed back with some guitars at volume with some patch combinations. Just have to have the hush pedal - definitely. For the money it would be impossible not to find something useful in this box. I'm running my signal from my setup to a mixer directly and the sound that comes out the other end is just really, really punchy and defined. Combined with the GFX-1 it is REALLY nice. What I hear from this little rack unit is very nice indeed. So, even though I'm not a great player, I have a pretty good ear for tone. I mess with Synths a lot these days in my budget home studio, but once in a while I feel like hitting the guitar with some noise (or some nice chorus). I've been playing for almost 25 years, though not professionally. ![]() The delays can be up to 1.8 seconds I think - way more than I need anyway. Yeah, I'd buy it again for that price in a heartbeat. Really, other than the noisiness, this is a steal. I wasn't buying it for that really, but I've been very surprised at just how good the chorus and delay are. It creates a really wide range of different tones if used in the right way. I'm not really a fan of the death metal sound, so I can't vouch for it for that kind of use, but the tone is excellent for what I'm doing and the variability is also excellent. The GFX-1 doesn't do radical distortions real well and neither does the GSP-5, but when chained this way you can get some amazing stuff out of the combo - they compliment one another VERY well indeed. However, with the Hush in the chain it is very sweet. Without the Comp/Hush pedal, this unit would be REAL noisy on any of the distortion settings. I have an ART X-11 foot controller which works with either the GFX or the GSP perfectly. I'm running one of several guitars through the GSP-5, then into an Ibanez (I know you laugh, but it is a great pedal) EC-30 compressor with Hush, then into a Digitech GFX-1, then into a Rocktron Intellifex LTD.
