All user reviews for the TC Electronic G-Major

See above

UTILIZATION

The edition seems simple and clear.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are great, but you'd expect from TC-E.
I use recess loop on my mesa-boogie, but also as reverb console.

OVERALL OPINION

I have some regrets about the quality point of manufacture.
The right rotary rgulirement breaks and the machine becomes unusable.
Also fixing a Fin spacing also cass.
I'm sorry for the fragility of an apparatus for pro musicians who are not supposed mnager their hardware. This device is a risk Submitted Intgr be in a rack to go on the road

Everything said prcdemment t

UTILIZATION

Too many sub-menu, can not be changed simply rglages live.
Rglages buttons that fall to the ground ds that the moves!
Ears that break was just fixed in the rack!

SOUND QUALITY

The dlais are pretty, reverb, chorus and phaser acceptable, the rest is through trs. We are far from the reputable TC Electronic.
The compressor and without interest trs bad
The tuner is a joke .....
I play on VOXAC30, the tc is looped, the sound is compltement tuft I lose any momentum, playing on the volume of output is nothing, more crunch, ca color the sound too , just put it in bypass to notice the difference and we realize that this is the position which suits him best!!

OVERALL OPINION

Use a few weeks and quickly resold.
This effect is truly multi mdiocre both its quality of manufacture, by its sound quality. I had rack zoom, Rocktron intelliflex, the fender cybertwin rocktron was doing ... the best bcp, but I always come back to the good old pedals!
Report innaceptable quality at this price! contrary to what some say!
Never tried .... and other Tc G-Major does not want to give!

Everything has been said

Classical effects (most use a post-preamp): Chorus / Delay / Reverb

Compressor not very useful (certainly due to the fact that accounting is used before preamp)
Wha idem (same reason)

Connection complete

you can order the change of channel amplifier

Boost function very useful if MIDI foot controller (or Beringher roland FC200)

UTILIZATION

The config is very simple, but seriously, without criticizing previous opinions (the tastes and colors do not discuss ...) I would still like that you explain to me why when a multi-effect n 'is not enough SETTINGS it overwhelms critical but it does the same when it is too much ....

G-Major has a majority of the effects mode "classic" without too much risk (the most used parameters) and a mode "advanced" for the adventurous sound

For example: who has tried to replicate the "dual stereo delay shifted tempo sync on" The Edge without falling into caricature? taking a small head and it played with a G-Major (tried on 2 Pod / Pod Xt / Vox ToneLab, it is sometimes the case but something was still missing)

What more .... read the user manual can be??

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are extremely transparent and very faithful to the spirit TC

I played with a Lag-TL1 home, a JCM2000 and a Roland Jazz Chorus Repeat '
Tech21 Trademark 60 a live medium, and a SansAmp GT-2 in small concert (for big-big shows I do not know I never exceeded 200 people!)

My guitars are a Blade Texas Standard 2001 'with Dimarzio Virtual Vintage, Lag Rockline one of 95', a Lag Baby Jumbo electro.

I never play live with the effects too "types" (Octave / shifter), but I admit that on a model can function ca (but not my thing)

I admit that the whammy is really sucks ....

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 years I esay to replace it without success (too bad because the rack + midid the pedal is a bit boring ... TO MOVE)

It is specialized in some effects for which TC Electronic is renowned, and ca he does particularly well.

Some are fragile, the buttons are a little cheap but I board has not had to complain (the rack is mine since purchase and I take care not to hit): no case.

See previous post and the manufacturer's website.
Beware: this rack preamp does not like many recent multi-effects. Here there are only effects.
Proper connection, including the ability to control type 2 signal switch. In my config, notably allows to bypass the effects loop on the amp (hence the G-major).
Interface.
Many settings for each effect (I do not know the whole again and we get very decent sound, leaving some default settings).
This rack is not designed to be hacked in concert as effects pedal, it must be programmed in advance.

UTILIZATION

After reading the manual traveled quickly, no great difficulty in programming. Everything is easily controllable by MIDI (PC or CC) and provides the connection of an expression pedal to control (or) any setting.
French manual just fine.

SOUND QUALITY

I use it only for the effects of delay, reverb and chorus / flanger. Outside (compressor, detune, filter ...) no opinion because I do not use it.
My config is summed up: Musicman JP7, Mesa Roadking amp head, cabinet 4x12 NOS (+ various other equipment).
I was looking for the solution that I found a maximum transparency of my effects chain to keep all my chain characteristic of guitar / amp. Disappointed at first: the G-Major is not at all transparent, it strongly modifies the sound contrary to what we sometimes read. For proof, simply insert it into the serial loop of the amp and see what he gives no effect activated: the original sound of the amp loses much of its characteristic ...
By fiddling and even after having hesitated to sell it: connected to the parallel loop with appropriate leveling on input / output of the amp and the G-major (option "kill dry" on), we obtain the desired transparency, and where everything is pleasant: I learned what a true delay (if you use a GT6 like me, you can put it in the trash). The other effects I use are no exception. Both clear sound with chorus and reverb in lead saturated with a delay only found happiness.
I post a 10 but I recall that I do not use any effects.

OVERALL OPINION

In short: I hesitated a conf more complicated with three separate racks: delay (D-two or TC2290), reverb (M-One XL) and chorus (mod pro) but I preferred to go to the economy and well I can: the G-major is a champion of quality / price ratio (surout in hand).
Controlled from a MIDI footswitch and expression pedal, it is fully effective in concert (no latency between each command).
With the appropriate settings you get the transparency that makes the G-major is not satisfied as to color the original sound of the amp and does not destroy it.
I have not encountered any problem reported that some wheels ... (knock on wood).

Numrique MIDI multi-effects rack 19 "1U
Some publishers are (SoundDiver, G7 ...)
For the rest see the site builder or AF

I put 7 / 10 because the quality of manufacturing is well dea of ​​the reputable brand and concurrency (which foirent knobs, buttons that stand in, bar mount kit trs fragile ...) .
If it is to play the house going, but live or RPET or when must often carry their hardware, we have a good chance of damaging.
I bought mine from OCCAZ 'and I had to disassemble the faade to pick up the buttons that sailed across ...
I find a way knowing that Replifex or Digitech are much more reliable.

UTILIZATION

Config 'complte, relatively simple and easy programing if one has a little experience in this type of machine.
I saw those who slows because you can not rgler scne quickly and easily: it is not for normal, normally the presets the facts before we move! If you want something that is easily and quickly RULES we take a SERIES of pedals and a roll ...
The manual is well done and enjoyable, it tells much about the function of each parameter.
With a little practice in the world of multi-effects program is easily and quickly (personal, I program through G7 Editor and will rev quickly!)

For the config 'MIDI I do not comment given that I only use program changes, but many paramtres be modified by Change Control.

8 / 10 because they could amliorer ergonomics and reliability with a preamp and TC insert gnial t have to use some effect before the distortion (eg autowah and comp.)

SOUND QUALITY

I heard that the G-Major puffed signal ...
It is not wrong but using it in an effects loop in parallle you always dry not affect the signal.

There's then the eating and drinking in the effects!
Compression and trs autowah are good but as they are placed on APRS pramp, they serve no bah!
The flanger, phaser and tremolo (a serving is what to do?) Are nazes (the phaser is laughable even when) but I do not care what are the effects that I do not!
The chorus is nice and well ditables, I like their grain trs California studio of early 90's even if I prfre pais chorus well my GP-8.
The delays, pitch / detune and reverbs are really Russian and Fully parameter. By focusing well on all rglages one can draw some great effects. All times are subdivisions of the (round, white, black, eighth and sixteenth note + all dernires into wedges and triplets) and sandstone are the Tap Tempo, which is very well done also (by the rear switch or control change MIDI pdalier a stroke).
I use it mainly for its delays and reverbs in my derrire SERIES JMP-1 and I did not notice a so-called loss of signal or altration ...

I put 6 / 10 for the quality of reverbs and dlais but phaser / flanger too means and can not properly use autowah and compressor ...

OVERALL OPINION

I for 1 month. Before I had a Digitech S100, a TC M300, a Intellifex a Replifex and only the G-Major rpond my expectations. Just the delay (effect on which I require trs) gives me everything I need.
A OCCAZ of 300 'and 400 new, the report qualitprix is ​​excellent.
I obviously do it again the same choice knowing that I test and dj DGIG many its competitors ...

7 / 10 in gnral because of the quality manufacturing and leaving DSIR FCHE a bit, especially coming from a brand like TC Electronic.

Well I think everything has been said, it is a multi-effects guitar in 19 "(1U), stereo, MIDI ...

found chorus, flanger, reverb, delay, autofilter, noise gate, parametric equation (useful only on the latest firmware), compressor. Classic what?

I put 9 because I believe that the features are interesting for a vehicle of this price range.

UTILIZATION

Operation is simple, as long as we know what are the multiple effects of certain parameters. The screen is clear, just read, and it comes out easily (I never used the manual to configure it).

For MIDI, it has a learning function, once the super easy to setup, just put in "Learn" and press the desired MIDI controller. Child's play!

The only problem I think is the équalo "holed up" with the noise gate, so the requirement to activate NG for the equalizer. Not great (but hey, it was basic with no plans équalo is a feature added to the TC hard).

Second thing, most important: can not switch the chaining effect, that's a shame all the same!

SOUND QUALITY

Sound quality level, modulations (flanger, phaser and chorus) is not too bad. It sounds a bit artificial anyway. The delay and reverb are good bill.

The tremolo / vibrato is precise and efficient (and fun for the stereo panner).

by against, section noise gate, compressor and autofilter is not great. The compressor sound much food.

Also note that the multi is not "neutral". We hear a clear difference between bypass and on, even with no effect engaged. To be taken into account then. Especially when you spend an hour to settle a stunning clean sound with the preamp and Poweramp, and when adding the effect: "Oh damn, it sounds darker."

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 6 months, in a chain with a completely Midi JMP1 Marshall.
I knew by name. I confess to not being disappointed by the beast, for the price we must say what is, it fulfills its function.

Just do not expect miracles level sound quality, the effects are not transcendent either. For the purists, it should be moving towards its big brother, the G-Force.

But as long as one seeks only a few modulation, reverb, and delay of satisfactory quality, this machine is for you!

I recommend it strongly for small budgets!

Then there are chorus, flanger, phaser, delay, reverb, compressor, equalizer, Pitchshifter, whammy ... prs is not a.

Ben is not everything but for me, and that price was enough.

UTILIZATION

I used a lot of hardware diffrent (multi korg, line 6, spars pedals ...) and I must say that this is really not complicated multi. We must be careful to grate level inputs and outputs, if not a breath, but after the effects are super simple rgler except rverb, but I still have no t for a. I continue to love rverb amp or can not turn a button! but hey, even bad RULES, I still use it instead of that of my Mesa F30, it sounds great!

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are excellent except the phaser type effects and filters. I do not like.
I had a nova delay pedals (TC lectronic) and I really liked the sound, but I wanted something more convenient to click once on the 10 000 scne button to change settings be ... I'm glad I found the sound I liked (at least some dtails pedals that make excellent). Let's say for the price of the pedals, I have all other effects and more, so I can not do the difficult.

I find the sound very transparent, once rglages well done!

For cons, I will never understand why there is a pitch shifter if it is not intelligent ... I use it so just Detune mode, and I find the sound excellent for a bigger sound for solo arpges I prfre the chorus ... weird because I loved the chorus before, but it is the finer, more discreet.

OVERALL OPINION

I did not have long (about 3 weeks), well I love it all. Ok, it is fragile, mine has a knob that bug, but hey, once rgls sounds, they are not touch-ups every day!
The ratio Q / P is great! I do not know better multi, the price and without coloration.
Well obviously need to put a good amp anyway, otherwise, as to a pod, once the simulation, has no effect but not so transparent, it's horrible!
If I lose, I Rasht LIVE!

Otherwise, with more in, I'd try GSystem, but has to be much later, as if I have lost ...

For now, I finally have sound I like solos that stand out, a delay sublime, in short, perfect for me!

See references on the manufacturer's website

UTILIZATION

It depends ... Personal I prefer knobs to figures ...

SOUND QUALITY

See global opinion below.

OVERALL OPINION

I'll just give an overall opinion. Big fan of Dream Theater, I learned that at the time Mr. Petrucci was using TC Electronic products. So I purchased the G Major.
I use it with a FCB1010 pedal with which he married well. The preamp also flew GMajor Engl530 with a simple jack cable. All in a rack. Carted for lives.
That said, in terms of strength: I lost two "rings", using dial. they take it very badly and then broke away. Spent in a magazine of music it seems that it is not easy to get these parts ... To see ... I have not tried a lot. Also the buttons settings do very well ... Verdict strength: poop.
Sound level: for me this machine eats the sound of an amp. I love when an effect is coloring the sound but if it eats the dynamics ... I do not. The bypass is of course not a true bypass. In short, when I compared my amp to dry and went through this thing there was no photo.
Since I came back to the good old pedals, I am healed bazaars rack.
In short, it's okay but not great.

reverb, delay, tuner, modulation and many others, easily adjustable, digital effects, output converter input, I put the machine in eprefre 48 instead of 44.1 I find the best effects

UTILIZATION

program, and easily editable, independent adjustment of volumes according to the preset very useful for heads that have two channels allowing if any have a lead channel.

SOUND QUALITY

the effects are of very good quality ... after of course nothing to do with the g system but talking about the same price ... I use it with a NOS head in the effects loop in addition there is the possibility to change channels directly from the Teet G major, I mainly use delay and reverb with a little chorus or flange of temsp time . I find the tuner can practice live but it works well.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years and I'm delighted if I had to change the sytem will be a G (I also had a one epoch) but for now I have exactly what I want with this machine reverb and delay of the channel change ... a machine is a bit fragile especially at the wheels. are price / quality ratio is unbeatable in the market.
it is a machine or if you try already know TC Electronic has simply buy ..

We find all the useful effects for a guitar

there is a bank "preset" and "user"

audio connections or SPDIF

I MIDI driver, along with my preamp (POD PRO). This one, I use it just for the amp simulations and HP.

UTILIZATION

for editing sounds, think like the chaining of different pedals that we setting one by one

the manual is well done for my taste

for editing sounds, it depends on your hearing Qualter !!!!!!!!!!!( humor)

SOUND QUALITY

the effects are of high quality and realistic is the TC electronics !!!!!!!!!

I used the preamp output, and not in the effects loop, I set the first amp simulations and HP without the effects of TC, then I create the effects for each amp sound

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 1 year,

I was using before the effects of my preamp, but I thought they were too powerful. Here, the rendering is nice!!

For cons, the buttons are fragile facades, be careful when turning the wheel to scroll through menus or presets !!!!!

The GMAJOR, mutlieffet remains the most effective, in my opinion, as I used to sound time after having LEXICON, BOSS, DIGITECH ............

For me, this product is a positive reference to the family of multi-effects ...

quite complicated even when plugged in if you are not noon departure. If not in midi jai had a hard time it connected, I had searched a bit on AF precisely how to do because I am too zero connection.

UTILIZATION

simple configuration if you're used to that kind of stuff, processor etc. ... if you go for a bit anyway, even though I'm used to that kind of stuff it took me some weeks to come''''Tweek is my end, but it's the same with all the processes.

SOUND QUALITY

the sound quality is very good, more than I expected initially set. But it still lacks effective I find, and there are as useless as the flanger .... me personally I think it should not exist as a fact but hey .. it is there then.

OVERALL OPINION

I lay for 2 years, unfortunately I departed men little by little because I get a pin and fx attandant jOperation enough to master even my g-major, as it is in rack and a power amp mesa jOperation 90/90 and an engl e570 cest perfect like that, in addition to what is funny is that it tells you that note you're playing if you're ever unsure of what notes you play. the only weak point is that jai have found the tuner ... crap it's unbelievable. value for money its worth its price, even if the two came out the change not worth it for the difference.

Chorus, Reverb, Flanger, Phaser, Pitch Shifter, Delay, Compressor, Noise Gate, tuner ...
Rack model.
Digital multi-effects with good A / D converters
Audio jack connector 6.75, MIDI for the control

UTILIZATION

Manuel clear sound edition easy (dble click, and using the two knobs and display, it goes fast)
Big backing store, activation of an effect by a possible, or simultaneous with a call to patch.
MIDI programming is done on the master interface (eg MIDI foot controller)

SOUND QUALITY

I find the effects very realistic, with a preference for the delay.
At the touch of a button "function", you can assign a controller setting a live setting (eg feedback of delay with an expression pedal).
Release a patch to another can leave a fade out or pressed again on the new patch to cut the old line.
I use a rack Marshall EL34 100/100 JMP1 +, H & K ax412 speaker and Tele 52 reissue.
No noise digital converters operate (TC)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 years, I used a Boss ME8 before and I do not regret the change.
I think this multi-effect can also be used in sound with tons of parameters to be set.
No big special problem.
This choice I would do without hesitation, and this with a good quality / price ratio.

See more opinions

UTILIZATION

Simple setup in my opinion, the manual is in French. Of course I have read for many things, but I think gloablement effects are relatively simple to edit.

Personally I bought mine used, it was purchased new in 2004, the beast has 7 years already. As I read in other reviews, the knobs are fragile, the fact is, they lack a little precision, but it does not bother me so far in my case. Just hoping it does not worsen. I let it gently in a flight case rack closed when I leave I do not use it, I think it's better to do.

SOUND QUALITY

Well I have not tried everything but for my part:
- The delays and reverbs are impressive;
- The pitch, Octavers very correct too;
- The flanger, phaser, are pretty mediocre. By using a very limited and discrete we know get good results but it makes the sound very metallic. That said there are so many adjustments to make it may be possible to reduce this unpleasant effect. But I have yet to find

I have not tried the whammy, EQ, chorus or the compressor.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a good month, I'm happy with my choice.

The pros:
- The delays and reverbs
- Easy to use (control + presets pm)
- Many possible settings
- Price

The -:
- The phaser / flanger
- Fragile knobs (flight case + suggested)

Used for 200 € with the flight case, I'm very glad I bought it while waiting to be rich to buy a G-Force

... said 100 times ...

UTILIZATION

I'm far from comfortable with the instruction manuals but I managed to find everything I wanted on this (rare)
even if there are many menus and submenus, it comes out fairly quickly, provided that some basic knowledge of ale in the world of effects.
I would say that this multi purpose is not for a beginner but very suitable for intermediate levels.

SOUND QUALITY

I'm still experimenting at this level, with a lot of analog pedals, it makes a great addition especially for its delays and reverbs.
the chorus / flanger / phaser / filters are OK but I prefer them to other devices. (electro harmonix / mxr etc ...)
Note also that eq section can be very useful for not fiddling with his amp without stopping.
latency on the pitch and do not like when you turn all the effects blocks ...



OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two years and I am satisfied without being on the ass, he does what is asked and does not seem tired (I've bought used) even if a little fragile (the famous knobs to display the con and who dépixelise) but nothing too serious.
I tried a lot of multi effects before him (ToneLab, pog, Guitar Rig, AmpliTube) and I find it superior to all levels, to me it has no equivalent to approximately 200 roros. otherwise ÖBIG tapper to the damn amp sim I've never managed to make it sound ...
I much prefer my Gmajor in the loop of my Engl piloted with fc 300.
value for money (used) is excellent if you have not at least 400 Euros in the wallet.
musically.

For features, wholesale: multi-effect guitar reverb, delay, chorus, flanger, phaser, noise gate, comp, EQ, etc. .... FULL lacks the distos but not the purpose of this rack 1U MIDI handy for backup and the edition of patches via PC (not USB MIDI but works very well) with eg Real Major Free soft, super simple to use

UTILIZATION

I found using general not intuitive, I can open the doc is very very well done, everything is explained clearly and even the effects function (departing is not easy to settle a compressor, b is, everything is explained, there's more ka)

That said, I'm not a regular multi-effects hardware, so it's fairly normal to find it complicated, but you rassurerz TC Electronic done things well and some have been included on page

I'm not retarded the function of the effect of chaining (serial and parallel mode)



SOUND QUALITY

The quality is to go, so, I even bought behind a TC Electronic M300 raker for the home studio, the G-Major I use only live

The reverb is fabulous
I use it with a flamenco guitar dryer equipped with a dual set BLUESTiCK
Basically a reverb, a delay (the delay wow) a slight chorus, comp and active EQ allows me not to correct the various consoles

when I arm, and in all situations (large scenes, restaurants, clubs ... I have not tried the stage, maybe in 20 years?? looool) my guitar is there, no worries, presence, clarity no problem

OVERALL OPINION

2 years of loyal service, before him I was ç like surfing: I existed not on stage: D
I tried SE 50 and 70, MIDIVERB, there's no picture, the G-Major is well ahead

Some speak of knobs that break, uh ... I try to pay attention when traveling (and I did!) and for now pepere, nikel, rien a dire

Plus: THE SOUND
The least I always try

Priced at nine it was already adequate, we will not be stingy with the appearing of the zoom or other, is incomparable, so value for money OK
Especially since the release of the G-Major 2 we find a 200 € (the G Major 2 I even know what it does to +)

If I had to make the election again? I went to the range above the G Natural

Just a precision: I'm not one to masturbate with the brain frequency curves and other nitpicky, I need a sound presence in all conditions, the G Major meets my expectations, I am satisfied I use to live
