It's a good old analog multi-effects that I bought in 1994 I think.
- 3 channels: clean with compressor, crunch and lead
- Gain controls on each channel
- 1 tone control (1 button)
- Flanger, Chorus
- Delay, Reverb
- Noise reductor
At the time, I do not think the speaker simulation were very common. Indeed, on this unit, there was not. It's a shame because the game through headphones, the distortion is affected ...

But given the price at which you can find it now, it is more than enough to play with effects. (Notes are based of course on the quality / price ratio).

UTILIZATION

While there, I can not believe we can do easier. No need for manual, everything is "explained" on the device. When I say "explained" is a big word ... You want a reverb? Did you turn a knob reverb. Want to gain? You're a knob for gain ... It's simple, right?

The G3 has 3 channels. In each channel, you can store 3 sounds (making 9 in total). It can be a bit tight but frankly, do you need all that for a repeat? No, in general. on the other hand, it is clear that with more presets, it would keep all the sounds in memory. So what I did was prepare my sounds before every rehearsal somewhere while retaining the settings of all sounds.

SOUND QUALITY

Good (for the price) and less good ...
All effects (delay, reverb, flanger, chorus) are good. I played 5 years with no need for anything else. The clean sounds with the compressors are good too.

The crunch channel is nice for all that is blues and co. It is clear that this is not the lamps! But it does it anyway.

The lead is average. It is not possible to leave a big sound like POD or VAMP. We therefore just distos light passing though the solos but to become difficult to use if we try to play Metallica (though I did !!!).

It certainly can not compete with existing small muliteffets. But cheap, it makes many services. And besides, I figured out how to use it for a backdoor (see below)

OVERALL OPINION

I do a copy and paste from another review that I submitted: "As I said before, this G3 in 1994. Since then, it has largely done better. Before the sale, I am submitting this review OBJECTIVE if anyone does not know this device. "

Why do I sell? Because now I have all the gear that replaces it. But in recent years, I used it in a roundabout way:
I (and I have) a vamp. This device is great, except for the stage. So I used the G3 pedal input before the vamp as a pedal (s) very solid with no lag! You want an overdrive, compressor, 2 distos to the chain, a chorus before the distortion, a gain control input of the vamp .. ?? Bah voila: For cheap, you got it all! And I promise a grain of overdrive before attacking the fuzz of the vamp, it allows me to have the sound I was looking for!

I will conclude with a new copy-paste of my PX1:
"In conclusion, I would say if you are looking for a cheap multi-effects, take this one on occasion. It will make you all the services you can imagine such a device.

Note that I give (7) is valid if you are at 40 €. For each 10 € more or less, add or remove an item !!!!"
But you can add 1 point if you use them as second string with another multi-effects.
