One Small Step For Man...
T.C. electronic G-System is the world's first complete high quality floor based Guitar System. From guitarists seeking the best to seasoned professionals looking for the ultimate, the superior quality of T.C. electronic's G-System will not disappoint. Delivering a complete and uncompromised package of effects, control and integration, no other product will match the flexibility or the quality of the T.C. electronic G-System.

Full-Fledged Flexibility
Choose between a rack or a floor based setup, decide how the effects are routed, tailor the foot switch layout, and choose from more than 25 different on-board effects. The GFX01 19" 1U effects processor can simply be removed from T.C. electronic G-System and rackmounted. A single cable connects the GFX01 with the T.C. electronic G-System floor unit putting your stomp boxes and messy cables out of site while keeping the power and control under foot.

Sturdy and Stable
T.C. electronic G-System is built for the road. A live product must be built to live on the road, and T.C. electronic G-System has been designed to do just that! The T.C. electronic G-System user interface and mechanical design are truly unique. With the heavy duty aluminum face plate, extruded supports and the 18 giant metallic chrome switches,
stability is ensured and durability is a given, no matter how hard life gets on the road.

Analog "True Bypass" Loops
Keep your original tone with the 4 analog 'true bypass' pedal loops, all under preset as well as "on-the-fly" control. A 5th loop can be used for inserting a preamp or a 5th pedal in your setup.

Rock Solid User Interface
Direct access user interface is via 6 rotaryswitch encoders. Not only are these encoders protected by the heavy duty chrome switch
housing, but vital components are protected below. With no vulnerable plastic knobs and no obvious openings G-System is sealed against
dust, dirt, moisture and the inevitable "liquid accident" 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 even more precise tuner information will be displayed in the LED matrix. Hitting any switch will instantaneously un-mute the output and send you back into the play mode.

Analog Pedal Loops
It is a well-known fact that 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 5th loop is custom designed for pre-amp
insertion. Buffered driver design of the insert loop allows for extra long cable runs with no loss of audio quality.

Amp Switching
4 relay switches gives you remote analog control of preamps and amps. Relays are under G-System preset control and can be controlled on-the-fly as well.

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 "spillover" allowing the repeats of the delay to ring out across any preset change. Tap tempo is a given and can of course be tied to MIDI clock.

Reverb
Reverbs from the infamous 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...
The G-System holds numerous extras. To mention a few, ultra smooth noise gate and three band EQ are included. The boost function makes your 'fill' or solo stand 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.

Pre Effects
Effects that are typically used prior to your 'lead' effects are found in the pre effects section. The pre-loop DSP section of T.C. electronic G-System features a high impedance instrument input and full 96kHz/24bit 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. The T.C. electronic G-System filter section allows you to select between touchand manually controlled filters, ranging from wah wah over formants to high peak resonance filters. The T.C. electronic G-System compressor section enables perfect dynamic control of the previous filters, a pumping style compressor or the more transparent compression style that gives smooth dynamic control and lengthy sustain.

Post Effects
The T.C. electronic G-System post effects section includes all the traditional effects that belong after the 'lead' section. The T.C. electronic G-Systempost effect section features an ultra fast noise gate allowing removal of background noise from potential high gain pedals or preamps when not playing. Modulation effects of your choice, including the famous TC chorus, flangers, phasers, tremolo, vibrato and more, are available in the T.C. electronic G-System modulation section. The T.C. electronic G-System detune feature adds to your stereo image, while whammy and octavers allow for more effected sounds. The regular pitch shifting features up to a two octave shift.
