FS/FT TC Electronic G system Red - Sold, Gone, Departed.... £425

[Scooby]

Considering selling my Limited Edition Red TC G System. It is a fantastic piece of kit and is, by far, the best on the market for the quality of sounds and ease of use. It's not getting much use at the moment so it might as well go to someone who intends to use it to its full!

The Unit does have a few light scratches from use but these are superficial.

 

Looking for £425 plus shipping. I may consider a trade for a decewnt Jazz bass or similar.

 

Most Multi FX units are designed to plug into the front of your amp and kind of take over the sound, replacing all the tones & overdrives in your amp, with FX from the floor or rack unit.

Not so with the TC Electronic G System. The G System is for people who have a great amp, that they really like the sound of, & just want to add FX to. There are lots of clever things about a G System & there are pages of info about it on their web site, but this is our shortened version!

Basically you plug your guitar into the G System, then from the G System to your amp (like a normal FX unit), then from your amp's FX send you go back to the G System & from the G System back to the FX return on your amp.

Now you've hooked the unit up, you can decide where abouts in the chain your FX will go. For example, you'd put a good compressor & maybe a chorus in front of your amp, but then assign the reverb & the delay to work through the FX loop.

There are no distortion effects in the G System - it's designed to be used with your amps overdrive sounds - however, you can loop in your own existing pedals (maybe you've got a Tube Screamer you really like) to the G System & again assign them to the relevant place in the chain. The G System can also be linked to the channel switch input on your amp, and so with one press of a button on the G System you can change channels, change your digital FX, & switch in an external pedal(s) - all in one go.

The G System can work as a rack unit or as a floor unit - this is a really clever piece of design - look at their site for more pictures. This is a pro level FX unit & you're going to have to read the manual in order to get the most out of this device - if that's not your bag then stick to buying high quality individual pedals, but if you don't mind a bit of manual reading, then the G System could well be the solution you've been looking for!
