Any TC Electronic G System users? Thoughts?

Sweet! Glad your happy with the purchase. Have you noticed any tone sucking? I can't notice any tone loss with the G hooked up to my 5150 III. It sounds exactly the same. The Nova Drive and G together are awesome.

Great to hear!

The quality of the effects, and my needs for effects were a good match to the G-System (and Nova System). My effects GAS has been dead since getting these.

I'm using my G-system with my Triaxis, and I really have no need for the Nova Drive at this point, only added my fuzz...the Nova Drive is great, but I have more dirt options with the Triaxis than I need at the moment. I plan to connect my Nova Drive just in case though. Between the Triaxis and E530, my dirt requirements are more than covered.

I've not noticed any tone suck with this rig, perhaps I'm instinctively just dialing in the Triaxis to compensate for any that may be present? Once I get the Triaxis dialed in (5-10 presets), I will test it direct without the G to see.

All clips in my sig are with the Gsystem in a wet dry wet setup. Couldn't live without mine.

Sent my G-System back to PGS last week. It's just too digital sounding for me. Went back to my analog rig.

Does the G system have jacks that will switch channels in your amp too? Ive been thinking about getting another unit that has stereo delays, and will switch channels on the amp (clean/dirty)

Yes, and programmable per preset too. To see how it works, or doesn't, I recommend reading the product manual first, then move on to Laird's whitepaper as the manual isn't clear or very detailed.

you will likely notice some impact on your tone, but it can be minimized, and you may need to adjust your amp/preamp settings...covered in Laird's wp...but for some it is too much.

get the new iB modified version if you go new, it has the best input buffer to date from what I've read...

Thanks man, been looking at them lately but not seriously. May be getting close though
