im looking to trade and axis super sport for one of these things used. is that a good idea? i mean buying used digital effects. i just dont know too much about it and ive heard of problems but only vaguely. can anybody provide me with some insight? thanks

got a killer deal on mine used...works like a top...built like a tank..does what i need
as always, best to demo one if you can!GOOD LUCK

so i picked one up and its working out great. super confusing, is there any word of wisdom anybody? the gsystem made playing guitar like piloting a space ship. ive got it up and running but i know it could be better

yes..small bits at a time-are you doing the 4 cable hookup??puts comp/filter in front..others in loop
gtar into g system in
g sys insert send---amp send
amp fx loop send------g insert return
g out----amp fx return

if it "sucks tone" a little, let me know and i will show you how to avoid all the dig conversion in early part of signalchain

I really like the verbs..the delays are killer..even the filter-the effects have a ton of range,so fine tuning is a big plus(some of the presets are too extreme for my tastes)
tcelectronic.com has a user forum now-
what amp(s) are you using it with??

yeah the 4cm is working out nicely but i just get alot of crackling in the lead channel and am having some occasional volume issues between channels. i suppose i could look into the manual but i dont know exactly why it is so id have to do a lot of searching. thanks for all the help, oh and i play it through a mark iv

works great with a IV(I had one until Febuary..)the previous owner may have changed some of the internal settings-I dont have mine in front of me, but there are mzny different parameters (like vol level) that can get you in a place you dont want to be....once you get a hold on how to actually access these parameters, it gets easier...I would look into the settings in your "utilities" bank,check out you "effects routing"..do you have the manual??it took me a while, but I was determined to make it work-that is what it takes-what I do now after having it for 2 years is a simple setup....I have all of the tones I need on one bank, therefore its just like having a pedal board...I have another bank for trick stuff, but i have settled in to finding the 1 reverb I like..the 1 delay I like...the 1 mod I use...howeveer, it isnt near as simple as pedals!!!!

Find the forums section on TC Electronics website and look for the G-System DB...., a fair amount of info on getting things sorted out and what not with the G. Ciao!

I have had mine for a couple of months now and use it with a IV, if you want any settings, I'll be glad to share.
