TC Electronic GForce Guitar Multi-Effects Processor

Product Description

The legendary G-Force gives you a variety of great sound effects in an easy to program, fun to operate, single rack unit. State-of-the-art DSP technology, proprietary DARC chip, 24-bit resolution gives you massive memory, high-speed processing, and uncompromised sound quality.

Flexible routing and control possibilities combined with 8 full-blown effects, each with sound quality surpassing stand-alone units, generate sounds unlike any you have heard before as well as dreamed about! With the G-Force digital multiple effects processing has finally come of age enabling you to have high-quality sounds without sacrificing the integrity of your original tone!

Ditching your beloved stomp boxes and going digital, often means losing the simplicity and flexibility of your pedal arrangement. Dealing with phone book sized manuals and interfaces made by and for computer expects, often drive creative musicians away from such space age machinery. One of TC's missions with the G-Force was to effectively address this problem!

Despite the front-end technology and advanced possibilities encompassed within the G-Force, it's a very flexible and easily approachable machine. You have the choice of simply using it as a linear chain of effects, or you can go beyond the use of any other known multi-effects unit, and explore the countless combinations and possibilities within the G-Force.

Simplicity
The G-Force is very likely to change your whole approach towards creating effects for your guitar. Very soon you will find yourself going from simple use of standards effects towards thinking up previously non-existing effects, like a tremolo that only kicks in when you play high notes. Simultaneously, you are controlling the level of a phased, distorted delay with your old volume pedal, that you set the G-Force up to use as an expression controller.
