A lot of fun as my first Multi FX peda
Got this unit for a few months now, and i'm very pleased with it. Make sure you install the update which is provided on the website. A lot of preset and a lot of custom options. Also make sure to calibrate foot pedal!
Only minus that i can think of is that when running the unit as an audio interface, there is no option to shut off the direct monitoring. (or at least not that i know of).
Overall i would recommend this unit if you dont know what sounds you like and are not ready splurge a whole lot of money on different amps. This unit provides you with the F, V, and M amp sounds to get familiar with. I mostly play clean which this unit does beautifully imo. But this unit persuaded me to also try some more gritty sounds.

Great Sound but Terrible Defaults
I've had this thing now almost two years. I initially wanted to get something as I started guitar that could get me the "tone" I wanted without having to buy something expensive. Let's do this backwards
Cons
---
- Default settings are terrible. None of the default settings sound good. Hell, even the default chain order (which you can change) is not good.
- The UI was designed by someone in a great deal of pain with the world. It can take 10-15 minutes to set up a chain and another 5 to give it a name. If you plug it into a PC, it's easier to work with but only marginally so.
- Expression pedal on the device is "fine" but not great. However, it does have a place to plug in an external expression pedal.
- You cannot stack effects. Basically the only real limitation on this device. e.g. I cannot make a chain with two tube screamers in a row. You're limited to one type of effect per chain.
Pros
---
- It sounds great, the audio quality of the device is top tier when the settings are dialed in.
- It has all the connectors you could need. Far beyond comparable models in the same price point, 2 XLR, MIDI in/out, USB Audio Device.
- It's a great device to use as a recording tool with the PC.
- Build is very good. It's heavy, if you cannot get the tone you want, you can always throw it at your audience.
Would I buy it again? Absolutely. Most of the defects (except the UI) can be overcome with a bit of effort. If you're looking for a budget multi-effects pedal board this is probably one of the best on the market for the price point. You're paying for hardware, not software. It can sound really good with a bit of effort.

Great For The Price!
I had my expectations pretty standard considering this is on the cheaper side of modelers, but I like the Harley Benton brand and wanted something physical to mess with instead of plugins all the time. This outperformed my expectations, now don't think it's perfect out of the box, it took me about 4 hours to figure out everything to get a good sound. But now with that knowledge I can get a good sound pretty easily for any genre. Alot of the onboard cabs are pretty good, and you can load IRs into the product as well. Overall, great product I think. Only downfall for me personally is not being able to how more than 1 of the same type of effect, which I hope they might be able to add in a future update. But overall I think it's worth what I paid.

great device with room for improvement
i purchased dnafx git pro in september 2022, after testing it at thomann's store, in germany... at home, i realized there's no way to make the software work with my macbook pro m1. however, this solved miraculously after a new system update from apple. a lot of time passed since then and i see that dnafx git pro software is still at version 1.1.0... and a firmware update is definitely needed: pedal used in volume mode has a rough behaviour, not smooth at all in the interval 0%-15%. when in expression mode, the pedal seems to work fine. also, another improvement would be to enhance the looper with the delete last layer function -- that's so much needed.
beside all that, the sound of the dnafx git pro and the connections are simply great. a remarkable piece of engineering at such a decent price. i'm sure the next firmware update can make it even better than it is right now. please, thomann / harley benton, release a new update soon!
i would have given 5 stars, but the quality of the present firmware 1.1.0. doesn't allow me to do so.
also, not that the software (including the firmware version) existing on harley benton site is outdated, download the version existing on the thomann product page.

This thing is cool when you get it to work
First of all I love the amount of options the Harley Benton DNAfx GiT Pro brings to the table, it works quite well except and this is a big except the damn pedal! the amount of time i have spend trying to make it toggle off cant be underestimated! the effects tho are very cool and even just using the Harley Benton DNAfx GiT Pro as a interface to record works great and does everything it should, just take some time to set it all up!

Replaced my whole pedal board
Can't believe the quality and features at this price. This is no less capable than units costing three times as much. It can be a little fiddly to use live unless you spend some time getting things set up properly, and I wish I could get the editor to work under Linux, but the results are excellent.

Compleet pakket functies
Goede digitale effecten
De overdrive/amp models zijn naar mijn ervaring diep onder nul.

The Harley Benton DNAfx GiT Pro is a game-changer for guitarists looking to elevate their sound without breaking the bank. As a guitarist who values versatility and performance, I was eager to put this compact multi-effects unit to the test—and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in more ways than one.

Pretty good for the price point
I would say it is a proper base to a good adaptable tone
