Effects and Controller Details
The TC Electronic G-System Integrated Guitar
Effects and Controller delivers an uncompromised package of effects,
loops, amp switching, floor control, and rig integration. It's equipped
with two DSP sections that provide the very highest-quality effects on
the market. Choose between a rack and a floor-based setup, decide how
the effects are routed, tailor the footswitch layout, and select from
more than 25 different onboard effects. And it's all built into a
rock-solid roadworthy case with 18 giant chrome switches. Extras
include 3-band EQ, a smooth noise gate, MIDI implementation, and a USB
port for software updates.
On the Floor or in the Rack?
Do
you prefer to have your pedals right next to you or would you rather
secure them in your rack? The GFX01 19" 1U effects processor can simply
be removed from G-System and rack mounted, leaving the decision up to
you. A single cable connects the GFX01 with the G-System floor unit,
putting your stomp boxes and messy cables out of sight while keeping
the power and control under foot.
Analog "True Bypass" Loops
Preserve
your original tone with the four analog true bypass pedal loops, all
under preset as well as "on-the-fly" control. A fifth loop can be used
for inserting a preamp or a fifth pedal in your setup.
Rock-Solid User Interface
Direct
access user interface is via six rotary switch encoders. Not only does
the heavy-duty chrome switch protect these encoders housing, but it
also protects vital components below. With no vulnerable plastic knobs
and no obvious openings, G-System is sealed against dust, dirt,
moisture, and spills on stage.
Chromatic Tuner
With the
full chromatic tuner you can always keep an eye on your guitar tuning.
By pressing and holding the tuner switch, the outputs will mute and
precise tuner information will be displayed on the LED. Hitting any
switch will instantaneously un-mute the output and send you back into
the play mode.
Pre Effects
Effects that are typically
used prior to your lead effects are found in the pre effects section.
They feature a high-impedance instrument input and full 96kHz/24-bit
conversion and processing. This high resolution processing ensures
maximum preservation of the guitar's original harmonics, which are
vital to the character of any overdrive pedal or preamp.
Filters
The
filter section allows you to select between touch and manually
controlled filters, ranging from wah wah over formats to high peak
resonance filters.
Compression
The compressor section
enables perfect dynamic control of the previous filters including a
pumping-style compressor or the more transparent compression style that
gives smooth dynamic control and lengthy sustain
Analog Pedal Loops
Any
disengaged pedal will eat into your guitar tone. The 4 analog loops in
G-System give you full preset control as well as on-the-fly
enabling/disabling, allowing "true bypass" of any pedal. The fifth loop
is custom designed for preamp insertion. The buffered driver design of
the insert loop allows extra-long cable runs with no loss of audio
quality.
Amp Switching
Four relay switches give you remote analog control of preamps and amps. Relays are under G-System preset.
Post Effects
The post effects section includes all the traditional effects that belong after the "lead" section.
Noise Gate
The
post effect section features an ultrafast noise gate allowing removal
of background noise from potential high gain pedals or preamps when not
playing.
Modulation
Modulation effects of your choice,
including the famous TC chorus, flangers, phasers, tremolo, vibrato,
and more, are available in the modulation section.
Pitch
The
detune feature adds to your stereo image, while whammy and octaves
allow for more effected sounds. The regular pitch shifting features up
to a 2-octave shift.
Delay
The delay section sports more
than 6 different effects, including legendary 2290 dynamic delay,
reverse delay, tape echo, and more. All delays feature true "spilover"
allowing the repeats of the delay to ring out across any preset change.
Tap tempo is included and can of course be tied to MIDI clock.
Reverb
Reverbs
from the famous TC pallet are included. Plates, rooms, springs and
halls are available in the reverb section, all specifically tuned and
tailored for guitar.
But wait there's more . . .
G-System
houses many extras. To mention a few, you get an ultrasmooth noise gate
and 3-band EQ. A boost function makes your fills or solo stand out at
the flick of a switch. All tempo-based effects can be individually
controlled by tap tempo or MIDI clock, and numerous parameters are
under expression pedal control. The included USB port means you'll be
able to keep your G-System up to date with future software releases
from TC Electronic.
