Hey guys! I've been looking at these rack multi-effects and G-Major seems to be a great value for the price, so i wonder if any of our GMC-ers have G-Major and could possibly do a review on it?
I know Muris has G-Force but it's a bit too expensive for me so any input on G-Major is welcome!

Hi Pavel.
A good friend of mine has G-Major and I've played it few times, great unit must say. G-Force has more features when it comes to complex editing of efxs, some routing is done better,conversion as well but still G-Major is just one step behind,imho. To be honest,I was looking for G-Major but Tony convinced me to get G-Force tho I got good price on Ebay. -------------------- Youtube

Thanks for the info! I guess there is really no need for me to go for G-Force as it is twice as much and i am sure i won't be using all the features G-Major can offer.

Wanted to ask about the MIDI controller - can any MIDI controller be used with G-Major? I guess so... Tho there are few controllers listed in manual that you can use as defaults for all expression tricks,like adding more delay feedback with exp pedal etc. But every regular MIDI controller is able to switch between programs on G-Major,5-pin. -------------------- Youtube

Ok, thanks! I'll have to wait a bit more before ordering this piece but i am thinking a lot about that stuff and i am also thinking about Rocktron Prophesy II - i know prophesy is PRE-amp and G-Major is multi-fx but i am sure if we consider only effects side of them they would both work great. You have the Prophesy so can you describe a bit how you combine G-Force and Prophesy together?

Juan: i heard totally different story from people on the internet. They said it was difficult at first but after you get used to it it's really easy to set up
Also the price is not that high IMO, in Croatia it's around 900$ and you can get it much lower in EU countries -------------------- "It isn't how many years you have been playing, it's how many hours." -- Prashant Aswani "PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!" -- Michael Angelo Batio Check out my video lessons and instructor board! |

G-Major IS easy to use imho,at least after few hours of messing with it
Pavel,I haven't combined Prophesy and G-Force, bought it because of Triaxis,dry preamp. -------------------- Youtube

Ohh yeah,that's the new baby from TC
Price of G-Force is around 1000 euros and G-System is bit more expensive cause they packaged all in floor version,still G-Force. Dunno,it looks so big,I prefer having G-Minor or some smaller controller for it... -------------------- Youtube

G System is high spec but not- from what I've heard - easy to program or get to work in real time ; lots of fiddlling about. G Force like Muris says is a great bit of kit, G Major is great but the Force is a much better processing engine. However if you play livbe then the Major and a good mii controller would be great for the switching if you'er on a limited budget.
But if you're in a studio I'd put the money into the getting the force and just sitting the rack in front of you. You might get some lag whilst programs load and have to fiddle about but in a studio so what. Go for the audio quality. G Force has great delays, chorus and reverbs (Muris?). One question - what are the line outs on the Force Muris? ie can Pavel take them on a 1/4 inch jack in to his mixer easily, any digital, SPDIF out? (Opps more then one question .)

I am considering a G-major, because i would like some good effects, and don't really wanna jump on the pod bandwagon. So i have a few questions... Muris, do know if its possible to get your kind of tone such as from your Bb minor phrasing lessons with a G major, just a combo and delay reverb and chorus maybe? Absolutely.maybe even 5x better But you'd need some nice preamp and G-Major as a loop efx unit. Or amp with efx loop. and for anyone who would know since this is a multi effect should you just run this in to the return jack of the effects loop to act as the preamp, or would you still go straight into the front? im a newbie to these rack mount effects processors. It can't act as a preamp since it doesn't have preamp section, only efx but top notch -------------------- Youtube

so does that mean its goin to the front of the amp then i guess, Im really liking what ive seen about it so far. In front of amp if amp doesn't have efx loop. If amp does have it,then as loop of course. It's always good to have all efxs after preamp section,as in loop. -------------------- Youtube
