Well, I will not list the available effects, that are going on their site to know and listen to some sounds. This multi-effects are all there from classic, with analog input / output jack (6.35) or digital (SPDIF), and the whole shebang midi in / out / thru, and a pedal input of expression. 202 factory programs and 128 users I believe in (I only have 40 so far). I really liked a publisher of PC-based presets, but I have not found.
UTILIZATION
The problem often chosen when using the G-Force is the editing of presets. But the manual is very well done, and the handling is still fairly intuitive, although it is less easy to adjust a Boss. Though! For each effect, there are several types of settings, with a few basic parameters, and another much more complete set with finesse. Also note that each setting of each effect can be assigned to a midi controller and adjustable so as real, with extent of the adjustment range, and to route the effects in either direction, in parallel or in series. To send a fun time in a flanger to tremolo and left to right, then saturate the whole ... really ultra-complete. In addition, the G-Force pedals will automatically recognize some MIDI, such as ART or the Roland FC200. The display is large, clearly visible from a distance or in the dark as in full light on stage. A PCMCIA card slot allows you to save the sounds or to add and update the firmware.
SOUND QUALITY
My use stops on guitar, and I am delighted with the effects ... all are used, the chorus and delay are very good, the reverb a little more difficult to resolve, there is even a drive that can be used to change the overall sound of the saturation of your amp. In no event to use as preamp (except very special sound). Modulations style vibrato and phaser, and even forming filter are excellent and very handy, from the vintage to the most bizarre. A black mark against the harmonizer for: it is said intelligent, but not that much actually. You enter a range, and he shows for each note played the note once harmonized. But this program is not saved with the preset, it is general, so if you want another alignment has to be programmed. Note that you can route the effects in the sense that we want, and there is a simulator HP configurable depth. The noisegate and compressor, I do not know too much because I do not like it at all, so I talk about it.
OVERALL OPINION
I use the G-Force for 5 years now, and I am delighted. My sound stage are rather basic, but I like to be able to have on hand some very special sound. The calibration is childish expression pedals, great practice, the tap-tempo is a definite plus to wedge the time or the rate of vibrato or chorus, in short, is the top. In addition to a tuner handy for those who do not. The only downside is that when we move from one sound to another, there is almost 1 second before the new sound is really starts on the road (depending on firmware version apparently). One trick is to leave all the effect modules switched on all the presets, then mix the unnecessary effects to zero. Otherwise, it is sufficient to anticipate a little, and got used to it quickly. I had many multi-effects before this one, but it's really the only one so transparent, crystalline sounds too. I do not part with it for anything else because I'm really very pleased.
