Full Description

State-of-the-Art Technology & Sound Quality

The G-Force from TC Electronic is designed to be extremely flexible and deliver the best sound for any playing style, featuring a design that’s been road tested by countless pros around the world, including Steve Vai, Chelsea Constable, Iron Maiden’s Dave Murry, Queens of the Stone Age’s Troy Van Leeuwen, and many more. Using state-of-the-art DSP technology and a 24-bit resolution, the G-Force offers high-speed processing, incredible audio quality, and plenty of memory to house all your favourite presets. This multi-effects unit also comes equipped with TC Electronic’s G-card, providing players with 245 customisable presets, some of which have been created by the best session guitarists around.

Designed for the Studio & Stage

Along with its incredible performance, the G-Force is built to suit both studio and stage environments, ensuring players can deliver stunning performances in any setting. Players can easily save and recall their customised presets to ensure they always have their favourite sound on hand. The rack mounted multi-effect processor is also equipped with a display, featuring a split design to provide detailed preset info and editing on one side while the other side shows the preset number and tuning info.

Offers Full Control Over Effects

The TC Electronic G-Force Rack Unit is packed full of fully customisable parameters, presets, and I/O setups, offering guitarists complete control over the effects with ultra-detail and options for external control via MIDI and expression pedals. Its super sensitive metering allows players to remain in control of this rack processor’s levels and outputs, providing the ability to use the G-Force as an effects loop. The G-Force Multi-Effects also features a parametric EQ, allowing you to either fine-tune your sound to suit a variety of settings or completely alter your tone to create new and exciting soundscapes. The effects also feature tap tempo capabilities, which can be controlled with the front panel, MIDI, or a momentary switch connected to the pedal input.

Includes 9 Top-of-the-Line Effects

To ensure the G-Force meets the requirements of as many guitarists as possible, the engineers at TC Electronic equipped 9 top-of-the-line effects to shape your tone and create stunning soundscapes. The addition of the gate and compressor ensures players always deliver a clean and high-quality sound, with the compressor offering a super flexible control over your sound to go from a subtle control of your dynamics to a nice twangy ‘’squash’’ or infinite sustain. The filter effect provides players with a variety of wah sounds, from classic to extreme, while the panner delivers a stunning tremolo-like effect. The pitch mode spans across multiple voices and octaves, while the delay effect provides different tap presets, audio tapping, and fully controllable parameters. Add some colour to your sound with the drive or create lush soundscapes with the chorus and flanger. Finally, the reverb can be customised to create your own personalised effect or chose from the range of presets to deliver classic reverbs.
