Introduction
About the GNX2
The Presets
A preset is a named and numbered location of a programmed sound that resides in the GNX2. Presets
can be recalled with the FOOTSWITCHES or the DATA WHEEL. The GNX2 comes with 64
Factory and 64 User presets. The Factory Presets do not let you store changes to them. The User
presets let you store changes. From the factory, the 64 User presets are exact duplicates of the 64
Factory presets. This lets you make your own presets without worrying about losing any of the original
presets. When you select a preset, the name of the preset appears in the green alpha-numeric display and
the number of the preset appears in the red numeric display. The User LED to the right of the numeric
display lights indicating the User preset is active. The Factory LED lights indicating a Factory preset is
active.

Performance Mode
When you first apply power to the GNX2, it powers up in Performance mode. This is the mode used
while you are performing. While in Performance mode, the display shows the selected presetOs name and
number. The vertical LEDs on the Matrix indicate which effects are active for the selected preset. From
Performance mode, you have access to all of the GNX2Os presets.
Preset Mode
Preset Mode is the factory default operation mode when the GNX2 is first powered up. In Preset mode,
Footswitches 1-4 select presets in the current bank. The Mode footswitches are used to select the 16
User Banks. Successive presses of the MODE footswitches advances through all User/Factory Banks.
Pressing and holding a MODE footwitches scrolls through the User Banks. Once a Bank has been select-
ed, a preset within that bank needs to be selected. If a preset is not selected within 5 seconds, the GNX2
returns to the previous bank and preset.
FX Mode
FX Mode is another mode of operation that can be used during a performance. The FX MODE button
(located to the right of the Data Wheel) is used to switch between Preset and FX Modes. When FX
Mode is active, the FX MODE button lights. In FX MODE, the 1-4 Footswitches turn on and off the
effects. Footswitch 1 switches between the Green, Red, and Yellow amp channels. Footswitch 2 turns the
Chorus/Mod Effects module on and off. Footswitch 3 turns the Delay on and off. Footswitch 4 turns the
Reverb on and off. The Mode footswitches are used to navigate through all of the GNX2Os presets.
As an added feature, the Delay footswitch can be used as a tap-tempo switch for setting the delay time
during live performance. While the delay is on, press and hold the Delay footswitch while in FX Mode to
turn it into a tap-tempo delay switch. Press and hold it again to change it back to a Delay on and off
