And one can get these used for pretty good prices. Nicely done on all of them. Cheers!

This was an outstanding video of the G-Major 2! I am a happy owner now for 6-7 years and I love it.

I have the G-System, that is similar. The TC effects ages well because they are "studio like", not cartoonish as most pedals nowadays. They are clear and preserve the guitar tone. Is easy to get that 80's "rack sound" of these units.

@hatsubaichuu Год назад

I had one back in the day to slim down the Intellifex + MultiValve setup I had. It was very solid. Nothing mind-blowing compared to the heavy hitter rack units out there, but it could deliver good tones in one box with an easy to understand UI. It didn't really have the encoder issue the GM1 had, either, so that was a plus. The biggest issue was it would sometimes glitch out and behave strangely where I'd have to reset the unit. It happened enough times to where I eventually sold it off. Really wish TC would re-visit these things again because it's an amazing unit for the price.

I've been a G-Magor user since the golden years... Still use it. 2x Classic 50s with 2x 2x12 Marshall cabs ... It's a fabuloso and glorilustrious stereo rig! My only advice for users is to not go super wet (don't loose your guitar tone) ...& it'll pretty much do it all. No pedals, cables, batteries & power supply nonsense. I control it w/ a Berringer (yes) FCB1010 midi controller to control everything.

The dynamic delay is what makes this unit so good! 🔥🔥 my dad has used one for over 10 years in his guitar rig with a midi mate. Hes made some absolutely epic tones. The dynamic delay is what sets it apart for me. Being able to switch from a tight rhythm tone to a great lead tone with golden echos all in the same fx setting is incredible. Lets you play all over more expressively without worring about jumping back and forth between presets. Great video Leon!

@TheOligoclonalBand Год назад

I have and still use an original G-Major. I bought it right after it was available. The knobs are a pita, I agree, and the display looses rows of pixels. But the sounds are okay to pair them with my H9 and DD-500 sometimes. I am contemplating to get the G-Major first in the chain and only use the bread and butter stuff it has for things I want anyway: Noisegate, Compressor, Tuner. The EQ is a pain to set up with these wonky knobs, so I will keep using my Boss GE-7 as the first thing (I use it as EQ and boost). Thanks for showing the G-Major 2 - now I know that I not necessarily will replace my old G-Major with that when it gives up.

@Angel-fq7ww Год назад

I own the GM1 and 2. The GM1 sounds a little better to my ears (more natural), but is missing some if the GM2 fx like the univibe. I fixed the encoders on one of my GM1's by pulling it apart and spraying the encoders with electrical contact cleaner, it works perfect now :) Great units the only prob is no analoge dry thru :( and the verbs are def better on say a lexicon

@MrSpike7590 Год назад

G Major 2 is my go-to unit for the things I most commonly use. I have a couple racks and they are in both of them. Pitch Detune Chorus Delays and some reverbs are the main effects I use. I use midi to switch my rigs, patch settings and also change volume levels for solos or other dynamic nuances and it does this very well. Compressor section is on with almost every preset I have created because it's post preamp like the old school Bradshaw Rigs were. I used this with an Alesis Quadraverb for several years to get other options like delays and choruses after reverbs. I think in the future I'm going to be pairing it with my MPX-1 or a PCM series unit I'll purchase in the future. For the Money I consider it a Winner for a lot of situations!!

@garyworsham9471 2 месяца назад

I have one of these as well. It's in the FX loop of my Laney L5 Studio. One thing that you didn't get into is the modulation routing which is quite powerful. I think you can modify up to 4 things at one time with an expression pedal input. So for example I can fade in reverse delay, turn up modulation feedback, turn up delay feedback all with one cheap expression pedal. I set up a separate pedal sending MIDI so I can jam the delay feedback all the way up for dub sounds. I had a GMajor for awhile but its encoder knobs were messed up. I should have known better, I'd had one before and it did as well. I actually went so far as to replace the encoders with some I had laying around, and it worked for awhile but that wasn't all that reliable either. That one went into the trash I'm sorry to say. There are some MIDI editors out there but none of them seem to work. There's also Sound Quest but it costs about as much as the device itself so I haven't bothered. It's not that hard to edit it.

@Yekzelf Год назад

Mine sounded great, back in 2009. But I was seriously bumped by the large gaps when switching presets and its limited use with parallel fx loops (requires an additional mixer).

@peterharvin2775 Год назад

Sounds great, especially the chorus. I have to say I prefer my Lexicon MPX G2-- owner bias admitted-- not least because of the 4-cable option and the reverbs. But I wouldn't turn this one down.

@gradythegray Год назад

I picked up one of these last summer for $200 US, and for that price I think it’s pretty hard to beat. I run it stereo with Mark Series Combos, IV and V, using the FX loops. I got it primarily for pitch, chorus, and delay which I think all sound really great. The pitch block still sounds excellent in the loops imo, but do agree the reverbs are surprisingly lacking (I run a Source Audio Ventris after it, and that sounds fantastic). For live “work,” I think it’s a great choice. Yes, there are many other rack units out there that definitely sound better, but in a live situation the differences aren’t significant enough to warrant the massive uptick in price. I feel like Lexicons (especially vintage PCMs), Eventides etc are really studio tools. The G Major is a great tool kit, made specifically for guitarists, and has a convenience/ease of use that’s crucial to be a practical gigging tool. Anyway, great demo! Love your content, keep doing what you do :)

@LeonTodd Год назад

@GlennMichaelThompson Год назад

The G Major 2 seems like a very cool rack multi-effects unit. Love that it can route in series or parallel! One can save a lot of cash seeking out some of the older units rather than trying to chase the newest devices on the market. I picked up a Boss SE-70 Super Effects Processor for $120(Canadian). Just started diving into this 1/2 rack unit. So far I'm digging the delays, chorus variations, multiple harmonizers, and other time based effects. Curious if you've ever had a chance to check out the Boss SE-70 or SE-50. I'll search your channel to see. I'd like to know your thoughts etc. Thanks for showing us the TC Electronic G Major 2... and so many other multi-effects one can find at reasonable prices. Cheers!

@Scorstin Год назад

Hey Leon, you should try the Digitech GSP1101 if you can get your hands on one, I'd love to see you review it too :) Legendary unit at this point, and I think it fixes some of the gripes you had with this one - the reverbs are definitely better, and it can be used in 4CM. Plus it can act as a backup (or main) preamp too, sounds very usable through a valve power amp + speakers...

@kalebaldwin5398 Год назад

Yeah, they have Lexicon reverb algorithms, as Lexicon and Digitech are (or were) both owned by Harmon. I have an RP1000, which is pretty much the floor-based version of the GSP1101, and the effects are all pretty good, even the distortions. But it’s a huge tone sucker, the wall wart is noisy, and it’s pretty much useless without a real amp/speaker. I bought it so I could have all my effects in one unit and run 4CM with my amp, but I ended up not liking it. But I’ve made great use of it for practicing at home, so it wasn’t a bad purchase.

@Scorstin Год назад

@@kalebaldwin5398 I've been using the GSP with a valve amp (4cm) as well as on its own and never had issues with tone suck. Currently I have a valve preamp in the loop of GSP and I'm going straight out using IRs, it's quite decent too :)

I use it for reverb, chorus, noise gate and a solo boost via the global output level and an expression pedal via midi. I also have the GM1 in the fx loop of a Hughes And Kettner Tubemeister 18, but it's not impressive in that role. Adds a weird flanger effect to everything, even when bypassed. Not sure if its the GM1 playing up or the Tubemeiser, but it all seems happy when I remove the GM1 and use pedals in the loop.

When the G Major came out I just had to have it. Every other rack FX changed the sound of my amp. They colour the tone and soften certain frequencies. I bought the G Major for my Carvin Bellair combo and it was utterly transparent. If they say their FX unit is 'Pristine' then this is what you truly get. Many yrs later yes there are fancier effects on certain units like Lexicon, Eventide which cost 4 times the price however nobody has beaten the G Major for beautiful reverbs, delays and the stuff you need the most. If you spend time with the G Major you can get A Class sounds just using the Matrix and blending.

@@LeonTodd Yes but it needs repairs. The tubes soldering to the card has gotten a little burned up. The soldering needs redoing but the problem is the heat from the tubes has nowhere to go but heat up the circuit board. It was an oversight I think. I need to keep the tubes as far away from where they are mounted and for this i need to buy some parts to dissipate most of the heat. It's a quite lengthy job but worth it. I love the cleans on it and I set the rear acoustic resonance to 3/4 full. This gives me a very sparkling sound but nothing of a hint of ear piercing like a Fender or a Marshall does. It's a perfect amp to me and warm and lovely.

Almost! I bought one last year and it arrived busted. Super bummed

@sebrura Год назад

Probably from Busta Rhymes.

The G Major sounded fantastic. I paired it with a Triaxis rig back in the day… BUT, both of the ones I owned, started blinking out…screen freezing… Led to some pretty embarrassing and stressful gig moments. I used to send them off to TC. They’d come back. Within a month, they’d start doing the same thing. I had to dump them.

That's a bummer

was that the first version or the second version? (or both?)

I love my Gmajor 2. Any idea how to sync it with cubase? Great playing!

@marko6831 Год назад

How did you have the unit connected ? Was it in the loop of an amp ? How it's connected is a big deal with this unit

@LeonTodd Год назад

Hooked up to my Axe-Fx III in stereo. The time based effects section is all post preamp and the filters/comps are pre gain.

@matthewearl9824 Год назад

I still use the G-System.

What I had an issue with my Budda sd18 is it would switch channels, but every time you switched the presets it went back to to clean channel. So when I switch presets I have to switch channel as well.

@SebastianDavidMusic Год назад

Hi man, just wondering, what were you running with this to get the effects in stereo? Did you connect it to your audio interface?

@LeonTodd Год назад

In the loop of my Axe-Fx straight into my interface

@SebastianDavidMusic Год назад

Thanks!! Great channel!

@gq_79 Год назад

Which amp are you using? That distorted sound is massive!

@LeonTodd Год назад

Using the Mark IV model in the Axe-Fx

I bought an original GM back in the mid 90's. I liked the sounds I could get out of it, but I thought it was hard to figure out everything. About 10 years ago, it started having a problem. When it warms-up after playing with it for awhile, the panel goes blank and there is no sound coming out of it. The lights are still lit, so it's got power. It just sits in my small rack unit, but I don't use it anymore. I use a Katana head with some pedals now. The thing I don't have right now is a decent reverb. Katana reverbs are not that good. I'm looking at a Neunaber Immerse MkII, but the pricetag has got my nuts in a vice. 😣

@LeonTodd Год назад

Try the Mooer R7! Some tasty verbs in there for very little

@@LeonTodd Thank you for the recommendation! I will definitely check it out.

Never usd the G Major, I put together a Mesa rack rig years ago (TriAxis/ 2/90/2) and used the G Force for the effects! Great sounding rig but just too heavy to haul around.

@LeonTodd Год назад

That was THE rig I wanted when I started gigging

@IlBelo84 11 месяцев назад

is GMajor 2 able to get into Eventide Blackhole reverb territory?

@ab-wz2ny 29 дней назад

I had 2 of the original gmajors and they both suffered from the same problem: they would randomly freeze in the middle of playing and would cut my sound out.. had to get rid of them

@ripperthecrooks6428 3 месяца назад

So would you connect this in the fx loop of an ada mp1 for instance or just like after the preamp , before digital conversion.

@LeonTodd 3 месяца назад

Either/or

@jimstanton8395 3 месяца назад

Great video. My biggest problem with the G Major 2 is, I believe, attributed to the JMP-1. The JMP sends effects loop signal in a mix construct. What I mean by this is that you set the JMP to send “6” (50% dry and 50% whatever is in loop) or “12” (100% of amp output will be effects loop). JMP-1 is then sent to my Marshall 9100 power amps (L and R) The end state is my pitch, tremolo etc sound watered down instead of big mod sounds. Anyone know a fix for this? I want grown up sounds lol
