Using a G Major before your preamp

[datriani]

I've got a G Force for my MOD, delay, Reverbs but was thinking of picking up a G Major and running it before my Egnater M4 for it's Compressor, Noise Gate, Phaser, Wah, Whammy functions. Has anyone tried this and will the level coming out of the G Major be too hot or weak for my preamp?

You should try a lexicon mpx g2. I just out mine up against a digitech 1101 and rocktron prophesy 2, and it won, hands down with my M4. And no tone suck!

Completely forgot about the G2, that actually also solves my other purchase.... a MPX1 for just the reverbs. Thank man.

I've spent a lot of time recently researching to find a "better" alternative to the G2 that would fit in my budget. I couldn't find it. Getting to test drive a few other processors for me was like taking a dose of GAS-x.

Whatever you do, if you get the G2, make sure it has the version 1.1 (I think) rom upgrade. Made a huge difference. As far as I know, it's still available from Lexicon, but it's worth checking in to before you buy, if you find a v1.0. I think it was only $20 or so when I bought my upgrade chip a couple of years ago.
