TC Electronic G-Major

vox

Has anyone actually tried one of these out. Ive seen them mentioned here before and they look interesting...

feylya

Speak to jcoote, he has one.

jcoote

yeah i have one vox and they are great...a bit harder to use than the very ineractive multi effect floorboards (gt-8 etc) but worth the exra hassle...what u wanna know??

vox

How is the quality of the effects.... Are there any dodgy ones... i know TC has made some nice delay units in the past how dose it sound? Is iit worth getting one? Have you any recordings using it?
Cheers.

jcoote

i'll do up a couple of recordings in the next few days...i can't complain about anything on it really except it is a bit hard to use unless your really up on midi stuff etc...but thats all a learning process aswell.. the delays are flawless on this unit really rich and the best wet delays i've heard...well worth gettin if u have the few bob to spare.

Hmmm.. cool. I have an old multi effects pedal bourd with some really nice distortions but the other effects like delay reverb flanger compressor etc are crap.. are a little week so this might work nicely with that. The pedal board has MIDI in and out and effects send return. Do you think it would be able to control the G-Major? I havent a clue about MIDI to be honest.... all i know is it sends on/off commands etc. but probably can do more.

jcoote

i don't honestly know if it will control the gmajor what is the multi effect pedal u have...there is no dist on the gmajor u know that yeh...the main advantage of midi is that it can turn on a load of different settinggs from different pedals with a single switch...for example hit a pedal on your midi controller and turn on your chorus on the gmajor,pitch shifter on your digitech whammy and disotrion on your midi enabled amp..sweet or what

vox

Yeah i know thats why im interested in mixing it in with my pedal. Ill look into it when i get a bit of cash together....

jcoote

if not get this...i have one and it does the job flawlessly

Beecher

Ive been heavily considering a g-major for a while and I have the funds to get one right now! I was wondering though how would you rate the reverbs/noise supressor/pitch shifting abilities of the unit as those would be my uses of it.

vox

Yeah is there a whammy effect? If so how would it compare to the digitech unit?

jcoote

its grand ut if u are goin thru an effects loop (which is the ideal situation)make sure u have the loop volume on the amp turned up otherwise the whammy sounds like a strngled dolphin...reverbs are great but i tend to use my amps reverb anyway so
