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.
