Description

The Genesis3 is ideal for the professional or project recording studio, as it places all of the GeNetX sound creation and processing flexibility in a compact desktop unit. The Genesis 3 includes a knob based editing interface, eight segment display, stereo outputs, and 48 user and 48 factory presets.The S/PDIF digital output provides a direct interface for recording in the digital domain. The Dry Track feature taps the signal before the effects processing and sends it out the S/PDIF output while effected signal can still be monitored out the 1/4" outputs. The MIDI capabilities provide easy computer-based editing functions, and virtually unlimited preset storage. The Genesis3 can be quickly converted into a live performance piece with the addition of the optional DigiTech Control X foot controller.

Tone Controls Individually adjust Gain, EQ, and Level for each of the 2 Amp Channels in every preset using the 5 Tone controls.

Speaker Cabinet Models Mix and match amp and speaker cabinet models to create your own unique sounds. You can even tune your cabinet's resonant frequency to match your style of music.

Warping with GeNetX™ Take two amp and cabinet models and Warp their characteristic together to create a completely new amp HyperModel.

User HyperModel™ Your new HyperModel can be saved in one of 9 User HyperModel locations. These HyperModels can then be Warped again with any other Factory Amp Model or User HyperModel.

Amp Models Choose from 16 popular amp models, Acoustic Guitar Simulation or from your own library of HyperModel creations.

48 User Presets Store your custom settings to any of the 48 User Preset locations.

Effects Editing Quickly adjust your most used effects using the knobs beneath the display. Effect edit mode lets you fine tune up to 5 parameters per effect.
