I know nothing about the GNX 4, so can only say in a completely biased way that the PodXT Rocks - actually I have a PodXT Live with is great fro studio and live work. I think Line 6 is the company to beat if you want to go down the Amp modelling route.

Hows the distortion on GNX4?
Is it meant for metal? -------------------- __________________________

QUOTE (E.S.P Nut @ Jul 9 2007, 07:16 PM) Boss GT-8  Too expensive for what you get! A friend of mine bought one although i told him NOT to buy it. A week later he was already selling it because it really sucks for live playing, distortion is just ZZZZZZZZ sound. And i didn't see too many good reviews about that one. But PODXT Live seems to be a real piece of art among our GMC-ers. Best would be to try before buy! -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

Not sure why your friend had so much trouble did he use the built in noise suppressor? at harmony central it has the highest score out of the 3 mentioned above,and alot more features than the others.But with so many features and sounds it takes alongtime to get use to the unit,there just so many things you can dial in it has 6 wah types .Im still learning things about this medal 6 months after buying it I don't like the Line 6 distortions on the Pod or the Spider amp series.On the GT-8 i think the distortions are great for what you pay,but it's all down to your own personal taste.Im still looking for my ultimate distortion sound and i think i have found it !, the problem is it's the Mesa Boogie Roadster and it costs £2200  .To the OP checkout the reviews below from Harmony Central but try before you buy is my advice  .Pod Live http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews...od+XT+Live/10/1 Boss GT-8 GNX4 This post has been edited by E.S.P Nut: Jul 12 2007, 08:38 PM -------------------- Guitars: ESP KH-2 Black,Gibson Les Paul STD Honey Burst(2000),Gibson Les Paul STD Root Beer (2007).
