I have the GMajor.
Some settings or FXblocks etc. may not apply.
I run two amps in stereo.
Series loop mod on both amps.
Turns out that my amps were 180 degrees out of phase.
Once I flipped the switch on my JX-2 my GMajor and system in general was flawless and the increase in tone, FX, sonic integrity, and wall of sound was restored two fold.
My delay, for example, was shot on Dynamic and Ping Pong, however the Dual was somewhat o.k. Not only did I have a loss of delay signal of around 80% but it was distorted.
You can imagine my confusion.
During my LONG troubleshooting trials and tribulations, which included dismantling the GMajor and making sure all chips were properly seated and reloading software etc. I finally came to the piece of equipment (JX-2) that was responsible. Just started to flip all the options on the pedal to determine what if any had any effect. One at a time as not to confuse the situation I slowly flipped all the options in all the possible configurations I could think of. Finally I got to the "Phase" switch. It was set to 180 degrees. I strummed my guitar...crap. I flipped the switch to 0 degrees and the clouds in the sky opened up and sweet Angels looked down on my rig and smiled. It was as if I had a new rig, I mean this had been going on for months and I was at a point of just giving up and surrendering to the high price of a technician. I mean TC wanted $130.00 to fix the GMajor and no one knew if it was even broke.
Keep is simple and check each piece of equipment alone if applicable. In fact if you can just use the GMajor and amp with nothing else that would help a great deal. Isolate Brother, Isolate that is the key to finding the weak link.
Good luck and keep posting, I would be glad to help.
Don't think that ANY little thing is too small, because it isn't, everything in chain can contribute to failure.
Oh, by the way my first troubleshooting efforts led me down the tube path. I ended up retubing both Tremoverbs, at a cost of well over $500.00. They kinda needed it anyway, and I am loving my new non-Mesa tubes, but it turns out they were not the problem. I ended up with =C= 6L6 and EL34. I also went with Tung-Sol in V1 and JAN Philips in V6. All the rest are Mesa. In fact I am still rolling...kinda. I am thinking about the tone stack now.
Well anyway keep me posted and good luck.
