All user reviews for the TC Electronic G-System

Reviews on this crankset are too divergent, indeed it is either 10 or 0.
The purpose of Reviews Audiofanzine is to get an idea on the quality of matrielle.
Diffrent opinion concerns my taste prejudice the integrity of this product, both for those who make the apology or lynching. It's against-productive to potential buyers, seller, and even screw screw brand that produces it. So I will wish that these DIFFERENT member Audiofanzine more explicit, more arguing on critical or lodges. This product is difficult to test in store for many of its possibilities. I myself am even Intress by it's my doubt is deep on the qualities of this crankset Introduced. I call the whole community Audiofanzine common sense and be part of a better use of "democracy" that gives them the right to speak on this matrielle. That is to say my great interest in this site and for the interest of all that I invite members better direct their arguments and their description and example through the use of sound example of their production or another in order to illustrate their opinion and give them tural value. Dj because it is an expensive product, it is true, so we do not buys on impulse head and, moreover, it is difficult to test in any prior notice or m me so given its capabilities. Biensur, This should apply all reviews audiofanzine. But Adi product Adi would be a big step. Voila, thank you.

SIGNED, a student of The Term will soon pass his exam!

Everything t say it.

USE

Yes recently thanks to the interface pc / mac or so prvoyez of knee pads.
The edition is not as simple as GT8, pod xt live or tonlabs vox that I've experienced.
English manual in tlchargeable franais on the site.

SOUND QUALITY

Then the c ... crap !!!! Apart from the delay (and still it is better on the tc nova delay) and reverb, you have to spend time.
Shabby and cold Chorus, impossible to heat.
Phaser, flanger, tremolo, compressor, gate, rsonnance, formants, etc ... everything is gadgets.
Wha-wha whammy, adpanne but has nothing to do with good pedal wha wha or whammy4.
Harmonizer not bad at all.
Used with a head marshall jcm 2000 Mesa Dual Rectifier, Laney VH100R on 4x12 vintage 30.
The conversion is zero (technical 4 cables) nothing is understood ALTR sound (breath, loss of power, a big sail on the sound).
For lovers of lamp amp is better forgotten.

NOTICE GLOBAL

How long have you use it?
I got used 1 year and 2 times.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Everything except the delay, the harmonizer, the robust cot of the machine, 4 pedal power supply, and loops.
Better to lose the practical side and replace them with good pedals.

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Yes the list is too long.
How do you report qualitprix?

frankly 400 euros are sufficient.

With experience, you do again this choice? ...

SOUND QUALITY

I just attended a concert drums trio / bass / voice whose bassist, playing his old Fender Jazzbass almost like a guitar, playing on stack with head Hartke HA 3500 Hartke cabinets and two cones Alus a 4x10 and 1x15, with a G System upstream to Pramp single / multi-effects. Hartke head and led equalizer showed a correction slightly hollow on the mids, nothing more, everything else just nearly noon.
Slightly lower recovery via DI faade, but so face the amp (+/- 3m, tiny room requires), I could apprcier relatively as it should sound of this lment.

In terms of saturation, natural compression of the lamps on the attack seems mimics fairly well, with a lot of "soft" clean sounds seemed honntes. the effects utiliss number by bassist in question also seem good quality. One has the impression of having to make a multi srieux effect without hsiter.

BUT: what lack of heat ... The saturations, which may possibly be compelling live recording, still shy in harmonics, even when the sound is overall quite cold ... Knowing quite well the heads Hartke HA 3500, I have always found the sound a bit steep, but I think the record would Gnral Either way better if Pramp / multi FX was more "hot" and "living" , heard by the rendering is when even fairly flat.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I do not know if this advice will much since there is no question of a test, but a judgment I would like to focus on an amp that I had in the ears for an hour , live. It is often not objective when it comes to acqurir the stuff, I think that such a decline can be interesting.

The sound is good for the digital, but still a little too flat and cold. To be honest, I t frustrated by saturations, that reminds me of the less prestigious brands modlisations, that I have always sulking.

I would have loved to perform the test with the same stack and even a prampli lamps + G System multi effects.

Configurable thanks to Vyzor G-System software - Super convenient once assimilated, but it is not rocket science .... Some bugs in XP ...!

It is well done, well thought out and very serious construction ....

UTILIZATION

Must assimilate configuration, against, thanks to the small publisher PC a breeze! ... Very practical! ...

By buttons pedal better understand the principle and procedure .... Although more tedious than through a screen and a mouse! ...

SOUND QUALITY

I do not use any effects (very little "Filter" and a little "Pitch"), but I find it good bill ... Noise gate effective (I ordered my G String in its box)
- Loop 1 -> wah (Buddha)
- Loop 2 -> T REx Alberta
- Loop 3 -> Roger Mayer Voodoo 1
My sets are ranked in order of the directory, a little way, and presto, it rolls. Really handy on stage ...!

OVERALL OPINION

In all honesty, I prefer the sound of my "classic" fiddled with his pedalboard pedals (more warm!!), Now the practical side of G.System is attractive .... And the sounds are still very nice ... must tweak the settings, and then there is time to pass before the desired result!

weight bearing: Transportation is heavy on stage it does not move ...!

600 €, I think I did a pretty good deal .... A very good product once mastered ...

No editing on PC, too bad for something of this type
Extremely comprehensive,

UTILIZATION

Product extremely complicated, so many parameters, it is both well to cover all possibilities but tedious to master the craft.
The manual is comprehensive but does not give much advice to use!

SOUND QUALITY

While effective, the effects and management of other pedals, loop, setting levels, the parameters of each effect are legion.

OVERALL OPINION

The big problem is a loss of momentum, even without using any effects. I tried Upstream and in the loop of the amp, no solution, I have not managed to correct this loss with the integrated equalizer, nor with the level controls .... Is it me, Is this the device? it is true that the latest models have been modified, but in any case I sold it immediately back to individual pedals ...

All the standard effects are available
View TC website for more info

This is the best multi think of walking, characteristic questions
The package is complete with sufficient connectivity, no pettiness on the part of TC on this side, a good job

The pedal is very heavy and very sturdy. nothing to do with what happens in other brands.

JUST MY OPINION WITH RESPECT TO THE ORIGINAL: 14/01/2005

Beware an updated version of software downloaded from the site of TC. I advise to recover and make an update on the machine using the USB cable (so easy)

( )

It adds interesting features such as the outbreak of the wah effect is from the efleurement the expression pedal. if not we change the preset wah is engaged.

UTILIZATION

The use is not as intuitive as it sounds, but is still simple. after
few minutes, we found there and the manual is very well done and clear in case of problem

The edition of the effects is a very simple once you get used to it (1 hour of use) and the possibilities are enormous.

The ability to connect pedals distos in external loops 4 and managed by the pedals is great (for each different preset), similar to the insert of a preamp

JUST MY OPINION WITH RESPECT TO THE ORIGINAL: 14/01/2006

The connection and setup of the pedals of expression is simple. should spend a little time, but after it works well. calibration is more, it lets you use the best of the pedal travel, with fine adjustments and judicious.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are excellent quality, transparency, without noise or coloration
For you have to work against its sounds, but once the job is what becomes of pure happiness.

Anything is possible with this machine. it replaces a pile of the best effects pedals from walking. By setting savament effects may have strictly adhered to the character of its vintage and modern gear.

To be honest, after 14 years of guitar, I'm still on my ass and I had almost all brands of effect of walking ...

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a few days. I wait to test it on scene and see the adaptation on stage.

Most:

Connectivity out of the connection communication (no walk in the multi does not offer the same)
General ergonomics very good
Quality sound and exceptional transparency
Quality of the pedals and materials that promise a long life span
TC was really concerned to provide a unique solution for guitarists and flexibility out of the ordinary
General Design

JUST MY OPINION WITH RESPECT TO THE ORIGINAL: 14/01/2006
The Connextion and setting the expression pedal is not super simple

Compressor
flanger

chorus
wha
pitch
noise
reverb
delay
Unfortunately it's all numrique.

UTILIZATION

Configuration gnrale Is it easy?
Yes and no, must bone up the user manual.
yes, the sound edition easy.
Manuel trs well.

SOUND QUALITY

Lc'est then the black point of the multi, the effects are effective?
yes, at the rglages nombrux and Settings, but the sound effects is not extra.
reverb and delay are fantastic for against (the only 2 good effect I think on this machine)
The compressor is not really, but then pretty bad compared some good size compressor pedals.
The wha is really bad (just to dpanner).
Phaser cold, it is not as warm for 2 or rather in 1400.
Flanger, one of the worst are to me that given t heard.
Chorus properly without more, pure trs, trs possdant neutral but no personality and not hot at all, far-references of the CATEGORY.
Pitch, it's going, pretty decent but not worth a real Whammy especially all Premire.
Harmonizers not intelligent, it is unacceptable for the price while the G-Force possde home for 500 euros less.
(Available in the last update)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year.
What I like most, the look, quality of manufacture and the cot for scne practice, being able to branch of loop pedals. (The power supply built on the b pedals are used to duck anything because maximun dvelopp 200 mA is compltement idiot, so no one except for pedals, keep your batteries).
I also like the connection trs well think it is the only multi that can allow such flexibility.
Being able to change the channel of the amp as long as the tip of the jack is in Footswitsh 6.35. (If not grill it, the less tinkering) s too, it's stupid why not prvu some tip Footswitsh "DIN"
What I like least is the "fool" quality effects especially for that kind of money, do not want the comparison with trs good analog pedals, from the delay and rverbe that sounds fabulous.
I like the least accumulation of conversion cascade A / D and D / A and re N / A ETA / N and re re A / D and D / A style mthode 4 cables, which only "d grade "signal.
Better to place it in the loop of the amp to avoid leaving too many converts no longer use the effects of prior pramp compressor, and possibly pitch wha
Given the amount of the machine, it is Consat is absolutely not transparent again especially with regard to price.
TC has obviously optimized for the multi praticitla FLEXIBILITY and versatility of scne dtriment but unfortunately the sound quality.
Apart from the delay and I rverbes RPET, other effects are trs trs see how the same carrment zero flanger, compressor, phaser, and wha. (That's a lot and believe me ! I prfr otherwise)
Good because the wind is nonexistent, but the G-System is not transparent, however.
A report that they could have included an automatic volume pedals over an expression, other brands offer good ...
This would avoid a lot of bug as well and even the possibility to plant a chip in a uptate. (See forum)
If c'tait again, it would not, it's a bit of window dressing the G-System.
Way too much for sound quality only average.
I bought it more convenient for his cot for sound quality.

All types of effects flanger, chorus, tremolo, filter, panner, pitch, delay, reverb, compressor, etc. ..

UTILIZATION

Setting clear, detailed, but rather complicated in therm of settings for beginners, noon, relay, etc ...
Editing simple effects, downloadable manual in English but in fancies site tc.

SOUND QUALITY

Compared to some criticism I personally find the effects of good qualities, very precise, breathless, very beautiful effects in stereo I also highly recommend using the g system with 2 amps! In stereo is wonderful.
For beginners advice would still spend hours in the settings of the actual effects because the sound is very studio a little cold without any adjustment.
The delays are very accurate! Very beau.Le chorus and tremolo are very successful, flanger I am a little less fan a little cold! But it's a matter of taste.
wha are the very successful too.
Possessing the mpx g2 making the comparison actually the sound of the lexicon seems warmer but the sound of g is very transparent system, ideal for studio recording.
The reverbs are nice, but attention was well done!

OVERALL OPINION

I used it for 1 ½ years is a very nice pedal, the bright lights of the pedals and the screen is effective on scene.il is very robust.
It is convenient to comfirm all guitarists, but for a beginner it will have to learn to settle it and spending time to play it.
I have not fully exploited, the possibilities are enormous given that corrects tc regularly defaults with different versions.
Value / Price bien.mais good price opportunity!

SOUND QUALITY

Possd with a G-Major (a stew that the coronation), then a G-Force yeah, a little better but nothing special is to complete the new G-System which includes the lines G-Force-level sounds.
The machine is very well penstrs beautiful, strong and flexible trs.
By level against quality sound effects in gnral is far from nirvana.
The delay as convincing him trs rverbes and to a lesser extent as well.
It is my opinion the only two effects of the machine that sound really good.
For the rest, must love all the effects TC.

The chorus as correct without more (very cold, limited surgery, rigid and not expansive trs)
A MXR M134 Stereo Chorus-/ Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus HomeBrew THC or its O suprieurs .... how to say the least.
Those who love the beautiful chorus of Intellifex, will fall down here, in fact, is far less rich and pretty.

phasing and flanging forgotten as soon as possible, this is the compar gadjet effects of the kind of quality DDIS HomeBrew-Psilocybe/MXR-Phase 100/EHX-Electric Mistress/MXR-M117R Flanger.

Compressor numrique trs (too) subtle.
Do not take one second to compare a face or a Keeley-Compresseur/T-Rex-CompNova-HomeBrew Compressor Retro.
Strange choice of this numrique for the compressor and filters when they were known to their analog counterparts are suprieurs.
In addition, it would avoid an A / DD / A pr pramp useless.
Here for the price of a conversion, you have two (one pre one post pramp pram +).

Filters (Wha) are the only cases of troubleshooting, a far cry wha RMC-3.

The noise is okay, it shall bear no comparison with a good ISP Decimator Pedal-is far from it.

The Octaver is for cons, trsraliste
Ditto for the tremolo, ts effective.

The intelligent pitch is good too.
The Whammy by blows himself up against a problem without Digitech WH-1.

The rverbes are not bad, although a bit cold and mtalliques on the tails.
A prciser even when the "old" Lexicon MPX G2 was much better to let the cot, without a shadow of a doubt.
Put 9 or 10/10 as the notes sound quality multi-effects is only the left took to the TC brand.

Its sounds quite plastic and chemicals in general.

TC transparency in everything?
You have to be reasonable and to be honest.
As its prdcesseur G-Major and G-Force, G-System is suffering from a problem of transparency and color, admittedly small, but existing hlas is audible.
It tends to smooth the sound and eat the grain of your amp.
The majority of pocesseurs multi-effects guitar TC spcialiss know what I mean.
The integrated effects Rocktron (Intellifex or Xpression) for example are much more transparent Inserted in a full loop of an amp tubes and a much more reasonable cost than the G-System.

Another misconception, when you snap the Bypass, your signal is still double converts: 1x + 1x pr pramp pramp post.
Trs sensible or not as professional choice on the part of TC, or the True Bypass t would not a luxury.
Since Bypass the effects do not serve anything, would have had at least the advantage of prserver the original signal without its pesky convertions, right? m&#39;enfin ...
Some also note a s&#39;tonneront STRID but DSOL ... considering the price, no piti.

OVERALL OPINION

I used one for years, then sold in favor of a pedal board consisting of pedals "high end".
The advantage is that you can choose the best of each brand for a particular purpose, ca is not more expensive than the G-System in the end.
And it allows you to make your sound your own "signature" sound, something unthinkable with the G-System or other multi purpose.
The dsavantage is the impossibility of CRER mmorisable preset, but it&#39;s no big deal, what you lose in flexibility, it gains in sound quality and is well the basics.
Personally, I do not find that to be the top multi-effects.
It INTERESTED particulirement for:
- The musicians playing in styles trs Varis and / or are of times: they can have in one machine a wide range of sounds.

- The musicians who are seeking their identity sound.

- Fans of the sound hack

Otherwise, the musician who has a strong design I think even for a budget, a few pedals carefully chosen for their sound color is a prfrable multi.Je think a little more say sound personality with a set of individual pedals (including analog) with a multi effect.

And then, of a sound working on a multi-effects even when asked a lot of manipulations, working with menus and everything. Rglage the pedals seems a more instinctive, more direct which may better suit a lot of musicians.

Not making head is turned the knobs and it COST point line.
For me making music is playing, not spend hours a digression user manual for a multi purpose.

Those who will tell you, the G-System is nooooooorme ...
At what stuff do they compare?
A multi Boss, Zoom, Digitech, Korg ... forcment is less, considering the price diffrence.
In addition he is the only guitar multi effect of such a "standing".

Now if you compare with trs good budjet pedals that level back to the same price as a G-System, in terms of quality sound effects (not of flexibility Miss TC compltement Largu even ridiculous.

Brief personal, too clinic, neutral (the effects, not transparency, hlas) is cold
Ideal in the studio, s&#39;avre be a killer with an electro-acoustic and roots but not enough for a typical electric, modern, certainly, but without sound personality guaranteed.

Then the day of your choice, price equivalent to TC rflchissez well!
If you opt for the flexibility with an average quality effects and go anywhere, take the G-System.
If you opt for the sound quality without compromise effects (at dtriment of the flexibility.
Take trs good pedals.
Yes, you can not have your cake and eat it.

The G-System is fabulous for its concept gnral.
I plug in my G-System Guitar => two distortion pedals in loops (TS9 & CAE Disto) => CAE 3 + SE Preamp in insert => Mesa 2x50 Amp
Systm is my rack and therefore more Portout cables connected to power pedals.
The connectors are not lacking is the ability to connect the pedal with a single cable simplifies life.The taken 9V trs are also useful.

UTILIZATION

The grip and very easy especially if you know the technology of multi-effects.
Editing presets is done the part of Manir very rapid, with the foot. It will look well on you machine to change the custom settings but we do not attempt knees for hours!
The manual is TOP as usual with TC.

SOUND QUALITY

Only criticism of the machine:
My 3 + SE breath a little deeper into the G-system. I think the situs modules upstream of the loops are of poor quality. (See problem on the forum)
I set up a little but my Gate-I on the food end of the game sounds and the volume knob is prohibited as a Gate rgl has!

OVERALL OPINION

It is a good machine especially compared its price. We do not make fun of us in the quality TC effects are the same as that of cells not G-Major G-Force must not push either. The pdalier is super strong and light switch are trs beautiful.

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple?

Yes to that already fiddling with multi effects, it is not rocket science, just be careful with different level settings (guitar / O loops, input / output preamp / power amp input).
- Publishing of sound effects or is it easy?

Here too, for those who used the effects and their parameters, nothing complicated, for cons I can imagine that for the "newcomers" from a set of pedals, is enough to tear hair with the menus and sub menus, obviously for them it is not plug&#39;n&#39;play.

- The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

Yes, everything is explained, initially it should even be your favorite book, story of what led to the ergonomics of the machine.

SOUND QUALITY

Well, it must be admitted that the concept is great, the effects available for guitar are present except disto.Et so much the better for me that does only that the OD of my amps and some good analog pedals dedicated to overdrive / distortion that make it anyway better than any computer simulation in fashion.
The G-System is a true multi-effects, simulation without invading the most current multi effects, and that, it was missing.
One can easily change the channel on his amp while activating a chorus pedal housed in a loop and activate the delay of the G-System, and the pressure of one foot.
Awesome right?
And finished ground loops, breath, hum, ground loops, the transformers and jacks lurking.
So a big thumbs up for this concept "while a" unique (for now).
Also, I found this great little rig next organizer.
The following remarks are completely personal and subjective, of course.
- Effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?

Yes, the effects are effective, we can not say otherwise, but overall I&#39;m disappointed, it did not change one iota from a G-Force yet 10 years old.
10 years apart and no bonus multi sound is noticeable despite technological change.
The intrinsic quality advanced effects do not at all that time, probably using TC and again the same algorithms "age" or the conccurents to making progress.
It&#39;s simple in the long run, I no longer use the compressor or the modulations and even less wha wha G-System.
The compressor of the G-System has been replaced by Keeley (more efficient), the chorus (depending on the desires) by Boss CE-2/DC-3 or an old TC SCF.
I replaced the phases of the G-system with a MXR Phase 90 or Boss PH-1.
As for the wha, a Fulltone Clyde has replaced that of the G-System.
I insert these pedals (except wha) provided for in the loop, because the modulations of the G-System does not make the weight for those old pedals in his "change over time" warm and alive.

What is the difference between a grain of G_System phaser and an old PH-1 !!... I always come back no, ca may well be a Boss, what is more ... old, yet it sounds really better.
The flanger also are not very beautiful, cold, without grain, without independent, neutral.
Over time I used only the reverb and delay of the G-System.
The delay is impeccable them, no complaints, really good, the reverb is not bad but that of my old Lexicon (MPX-1) was more beautiful, rounder, softer and more natural, less "sharp", less "incisive ".

The chorus is okay once properly adjusted but not exeptional, the also have tested extensively the effect of a multi party Boss GT-8, except for delays and reverbs that sound better in TC, it comes with wicked G System-to three times cheaper and I would venture to say that the modulations of the Boss GT-8 are better quality than the G-System is on in any case for phaser and flanger although for Boss chorus grain is here (we like it or not) at least the chorus Boss has a personality, a "signature" sound that the TC (grain-free in fact) does not have.
So big disappointment for me in terms of noise, and parameter settings can improve the situation but do not provide a miracle solution to the grain base, or rather the lack of grain should I say.
The overall imaging is often cold and very "clinical", with surgical precision, it seems that the effects are not "soul."

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

Just over two years now.

- What is so special that you like best?

-His look.
-Robustness.
-Sa connections.
-Its possibilities.
-Flexibility
Its part-organizer rig.
Quality of delays.
-A brilliant concept.

What is so special that you like the least?

No true-bypass
-Blocks effect pre digital preamp.
DSP-bypass not fully transparent.
-Inability to move the blocks or effects we see fit, we must
limited to serial, semi / / and / / (G-Force permitted 10 years ago and good
number of multi cheaper).
-Poor overall quality of most of the effects (compared to the original price of the machine).
Phaser and flanger them awful.

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

I owned a Intellifex, a G-Force, an MPX-1, the familiar GT-8/Pro and has some good pedals.

- How would you rate the quality / price?

Okay on occasion but somewhat exaggerated neuf.Si On the basis of that point of view of quality effects, it is three times too expensive.
The look, robustness and overall concept are very professional but the intrinsic quality of the effects is unworthy of the price of the machine.

If only the quality of the effects were at the height of the rest, the pedal would have been the ultimate pedal.
The concept of the G-System has been the priority of TC which is not a bad thing either in the short term, but hoping that their next priority for any future pedal, essentially focused on the quality of the effects, algorithms in order to renew their "age" that over time, are no longer up to be labeled "high end".

- With experience, you do again this choice?
Yes, when the concept, not when the overall quality effects.

All-digital technology, but can manage the pedals or preamps analog feeds it with 9v adapter (and it works)
All effects (almost) are arranged, even rare events, like the formants.
Dual processor patch changes so gentle, very pleasant, very professional.
The tap tempo controls all the effects you want it to manage, so you can have the same preset auto wah to a triplet of black, a delay to quaver and tremolo to a dotted quarter (it's just a bad example , you get the idea intended, do not you?)
In addition, the tap-tempo does not take into account the two last shots, as is often the custom, but the last 10 taps (or 8, 5 ,...) This results in a terrible efficiency find the tempo, because it is the average of your shots. When you change tempo, all effects that are not on a "ignore" the tap tempo snap to the new tempo, each effect according to the rhythmic value that you assigned. As a result, the expression pedal (optional) becomes superfluous.
A bad point for the very light buzz generated by the loops (for the price, it sucks a bit!)
Otherwise, this pedal is very sturdy, I have shot with and he never let go.

UTILIZATION

Oddly, I prefer a manual a little less "light" ...
But it's not that complicated, it is sometimes well thought out for players who have not done extensive studies of sound engineer. Ex: some effects such as compressors, chorus and others are arranged version is semi-pre-set or in "advanced", that is to say with a variety of settings.
The only problem I have with the g-system is that the loops are blowing a bit, as soon as you plug a pedal into it, even if the loop is not open! (And I know I've spoken, But it has to know is that TC & remedied, dammit!)

Egonomie génialissime well thought out and executed

SOUND QUALITY

The overall sound is slightly altered, a bit "cloudy" without being disagreeable, and there is a small loss of momentum which is unfortunate given the price of the machine!

The delays are excellent, and the tremolo Octaver do their job, the phasor correct, the factory reverb a little cold but with the passing of time, we arrive at very very pretty things. The whas can troubleshoot the chorus is rather disappointing but not awful either, but I'm the type to put the chorus only when it is exceptional, and it's far from the case. on the other hand there are ways to get very nice chorus effect with the detune (in "pitch" if I remember correctly)

Digress and response to those who put 1 / 10 while admitting that it remains one of the best multi-effects on the market: let's not forget this: G THE SYSTEM IS A MULTI-EFFECTS, size very reasonable that! Obviously qques analog pedals with hand-picked with a rack or as big as a refrigerator Gilmour way, you'll sound warmer. But we must be honest and note the system G with respect to the category to which it belongs, namely multi-effects & Organizing small rig for musicians who want flexibility on stage without breaking the vertebrae. So yes, it's still a compromise, less warm than the very good pedal, but still not bad
Put 1 or 2 / 10 as noted in sound quality this unit is intellectual dishonesty! As for the argument "for the price, no mercy," I note that the ratio Q / Price is noted in the overall opinion. Sound quality in the section, there ... sound quality, yes!
Mud and flute, what! Dare I add, damn it!

In summary, the effects are varied and of a quality that ranges from high-end and some of them mean to others.

OVERALL OPINION

Used for 2 years and a half and over a hundred concerts and reweighed, I find that this multi-effect has an interesting connection between sound quality / size / functionality (turn "organizer rig" that I did not insist ) but I finally tired of his sound reproduction "can do better" and edit a lot of presets for each song, and went back to my tap dancing on-board analog pedal.

Quality / price ratio, given the poor sound quality of certain effects.

With experience, I will stick to my first impression of the day when I had tried in the store, found him "cold" and was left without buying it (I had finally bought later, after a concert where I had had enough of playing Fred Astaire). Nonetheless, it made me proud to service many small and large stages. So bye bye Mr G, and no hard feelings!

Great unit here! Lots of effects and options here. Legendary choruses, delays, reverbs, and more. Unit can be interfaced via USB to edit patches on your computer, as well as for firmware updates. The unit has a unique feature that allows it to be used totally as a floor processor, or the brains of the floorboard can be put in a rackcase for more complicated setups, however making stage setup easier at the sametime. I myself use this in a rack with a mesa mark IV head. The unit controls the amp switching for me as well as allows control of stompboxes via its built in effects loop. There are so many features here available its ridiculous. However some people still fail to see its usefullness, and I understand its not the right choice for everyone. For me personally i couldnt imagine any other way. All I need is this unit and an amp head of my choice and i have a world class rig ready to go in a tidy rackcase. When I get to the gig all i do is plug in the head to the speaker cab and run a cat5 cable from the gsystem brain to the floorboard. SETUP DONE!

UTILIZATION

Editing effects is a little complicated at first, but when you understand how the scrolling knobs work editing is a breeze. I find i like to edit by actually scrolling and twisting knobs rather then using the computer editor for some reason. The TC manual is ok, but an even better read is Laird's "White Pages", do a search on the TC forums and they are pretty easy to find. He guides you through the whole setup process very easily and methodically.

SOUND QUALITY

I primarily use this with my G&L legacy and a PRS CE22 and it sounds stellar with both. When this unit first hit the scene people swore they could hear the "digital converters" and all this other nonsense. I just hear a great product with a great rep buy a great company. Ive been using this live and in the studio for almost 6 years now and have never had a problem.

OVERALL OPINION

The only thing i feel TC shouldve added in this unit is overdrive/distortion. They even included that on the stripped down Novasystem. Another cool feature would be a looper of some sorts. With those things added i feel this unit could rule the world!!! If it did die...which it wont...i would get another in a heartbeat, would probably look into that newer Red version they are making now too.

Multi effects box/floor controller...that lets you use 9 build in effects simultaneously. Has 4 external loops with 9 volt power supply to use your own stomp boxes with it. And an insert loop for easy integration with amps with effects loops or pre/power amp set-ups with the 4 cable method.
Has the typical effects we've all come to expect like delay, verb, modulation, pitch, compression, filter, etc...
Has no overdrive effects. The only way to get a modulated delay is by using delay into chorus. Routing of effects are good, as in serial, parallel options. It's no Axe-Fx or Eventide H8000 in terms of routing but for it's price point it does a fine job.


UTILIZATION

I used it with 4 cable method and to relay switch between heads and channels of heads.

Guitar into the G-system, Insert loop sent to the amp, amp's effects loop back to the G-system, and its putout to the head's effects return jack. This way the compressor, modulation type effects as well as my external stomp boxes in the G-system's loops are in front of the amp, the delay, pitch, and reverb after the amp's pre-amp.
The G-systems relay switch is plugged into the amp's channel switching jack with one of the G-system's switches assigned to it. This way I can not only switch the channels of my amp, I can also have my preset where the amp's cannel is included. As in...a preset with the amps channel 1 and an external overdrive pedal, delay and reverb, and the next has amp channel B, a pitch shifter and so on....
Also the G-system gives you a boost which technically isn't a boost. The concept is the overall level gets reduced by whatever decibel amount you chose and when you need a boost you basically stomp on the switch and have unity gain....boosting your signal by what you previously cut it.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects were fine, I really like the pitch shifter actually preferred it to my Eventide Eclipse. The delays and verbs didn't do it for me. Compressor was nice, filter were also not my thing.


OVERALL OPINION

I loved the convenience and integration of the G system it is very well thought out, but ultimately I ended up rack mounting its brains and using it as a floor controller. And when I went back to racks I realized that an Eventide Eclipse and external midi controller worked much better for me, and ultimately the Fractal Axe-Fx retired both set-ups for me.

I guess my point is...if you set-up is a few stomp boxes and a channel switching amp this is a great way to make for less tap dancing during songs, but when you start extending the amount of gear you carry dedicated units are a better way to approach this.
