I was thinking about getting one of these. I will be using it in a serial loop and wanted to know about tone suckage or lack thereof. Please chime in with your experiences.

This very much depends on the amp it is being used with. It does not work best with all my amps set one way or the other. It needs to be set to what works best with the amp in use.

PM before you buy one. I may sell mine soon. I haven't decided whether or not I want to keep it, because I'm really not into tweaking this thing. I lack the patience to learn how to use it. May just go back to pedals.
Wow, interesting, maybe it's your settings. I've been using gates for 20+ years, and have literally owned some of the best gates in the world. I have racks full of Drawmer DS-201's and Aphex 622's out in my shop right as we speak, so it's safe to say, I know a good gate when I find one. That being said, I found the gate in the G-Major to honestly be, the best feature on the entire unit. So much so that I've recommended it numerous times to guys that were just looking for a gate, and a number of them are still touring with them to this day.killertone":2iebr5cp said:I had a G-Major many years ago and did not like it.

As already mentioned by another poster, when the levels, and everything else are tweaked properly, the G-Major is an incredible multi-task, one rack space unit. The verbs, the delay, the gate, the EQ, the control - All are incredible for the size of the unit, and the money you pay for it.
I have not heard or played with a GM2 yet, but I can only imagine that it's even better.
