ideas of what to replace tc electronic g-major with??

[al embic]

had the tc unit since i got my ebs rig...it's done a good job,but i find it a real minefeild to try to programme anything useable into it and the foot controll is a pain in the botty too!!....the original patches are a pretty much guitar orientated so i'm looking for something either rack or floor mounted to replace it with...something with a tuner that works on the e string would be great too,lol.
any ideas?experiences?

Hi Al',

well I have to say that the TC is - for what it is - one of the more intuitive processors I have used. Please don't think my view is of a belittling one - What I mean to say is - I wonder if you are going to find a unit of that kind of processing quality that is easier to program?

If you want to use amplifier and cabinet sims then maybe pick up a line 6 XT or X3 (or floor 'Live' models) - but I would say that they have even more programmeable options than the TC and thus would probably put you off?

Next up - The Boss GT6 / 8 / 10 models - but again - I think *they* are the same for setting up and requuire getting the manual out to understand the menu system. Then there is the Zoom type pedals with basic functionality, lower spec - though I think they are a good place to start.

Finally - how about individual pedals? Do you only use a few sounds/ effects, for example?

I have an Adrenalinn 3. It was no fun until I got some editing software. Now it is easy easy easy. There must be some editing software out there somewhere.

I recently went over to the zoom B9.1ut, im amazed theres not more people shouting about it, cause its really amazingly good, a few niggles but isnt there always!, a simply amazing bit of kit.

If you like how intuitive stomps are, give the Boss ME range a look over. It's roughly designed like a row of stomp boxes but still works like a multiFX. If you like the sound of the TC though, you're better off getting used to that if it's an option.
