Best value: Poor
The essence of a true multi-purpose professional, nothing is missing except, little regret, a connector jack which essentially hampers some possibilities: it would have been desirable to have E / S XLR or can also go out optics. Finally, the material is of the highest quality, G-Force located at the top of the range. Let 3 because it is possible to spend a fortune to the pipe above tonnage, but let's be clear: this is a 24 bit intelligent design and impeccable reliability.

UTILIZATION

Use:

The G-Force is what is more manageable: as soon as familiar with the selection logic (Recall for the effect, for setting Utility, etc ...) everything works like clockwork. The settings in real time is very simple, easy to use pedals and all that could come help the user figure in a record of the most excellently translated! In short, a product that has been well thought out, and probably much practiced by guitarists.

SOUND QUALITY

Sound Quality

The screensaver shows: "THE ULTIMATE GUITAR MULTI EFFECT PROCESSOR" and, except for a particular localized effect that has no equal in the studio (think of a lexicon reverb for example), the G- Force certainly outperforms all competitors in the market for guitar effects. Exception should be made distortion, of course, for which there are great things in dedicated (including the French NOS, developing products for the best effect). In any case, the reverbs are large and flexible, and well magnify the sound, nothing to do with some plug-ins expensive, the phasers are absolutely exhilarating it must be said that it is a fact of primary importance for me, excellent noise gate, and a few quirks that can be out of the stunning effects and especially the time ...

OVERALL OPINION

TC ELECTRONICS delays are already a global standard, but it must be remembered that this processor is designed for the guitar, and that its effects are especially appropriate (INCLUDING QUESTIONS OF FREQUENCY). Result: there is to my knowledge no processor as transparent: whatever the type of sound that you develop with your guitar, you will find it fully preserved. This means that you can develop complex effects while retaining the texture of your amp or your system. The sound quality is excellent: not a blade of breath, just life.
The G-Force is a multi-application: in the studio, in rehearsal, particularly on stage, an area in which it reigns supreme over the competition for its sound and ease of use.
This is certainly a durable machine, and the coast should be held to € 1000 if you take the time to hear the difference with the processors sometimes rowdy, but not sustainable (because everything here is set to infinity) , and who respect the integrity of the sound, down only because it is rather old. The work is done on a number of years, and next to those who have only magnified their guitar with the presets, some argue in its exploration and can draw exactly the sound they want, next to a shovelful of sounds interesting that they would never have thought of. 4 stars.
