Each amp and effect type includes multiple factory Gear Suite presets, allowing you to instantly load professionally crafted settings with a simple turn of a knob. Fine-tune parameters to suit your style and save your favourite configurations in user Gear Suite slots for quick, personalised recall anytime.

Performance freedom comes standard with the GX-1, giving you powerful real-time control for live playing.
