TC Electronic G-System

During the Europe leg of the 2005 Real Illusions tour, Vai sometimes had a G-System on his onstage pedalboard.

Brian uses a TC Electronic G-System, according to TC Electronic's [website](http://www.tcelectronic.com/brian-may/).

"The Dizzee Rascal gig has been an interesting one, in the sense that we're playing a lot of tracks which don't feature any guitar on the original recorded versions. Whilst preparing for that gig, I just had to find the most appropriate tone on a song-by-song basis - so in the end the best solution turned out to be a G-System, with a couple of extra overdrive pedals into the loops - and a separate patch (or group of patches) for each song."

Martin Gore’s guitar tech Jez Webb: “The past couple of tours we have been using the TC Electronic G-System. This has been the hub, the brains of everything for us. We've got pretty much a patch for every different song. There we go! "A Question of Time" there, "Wrong" and "Personal Jesus", just as a few examples.” This is from the TC Electronic video “Gear Run: Martin Gore of Depeche Mode”, uploaded March 2010, 0:16 into the video. The upload date indicates this was Depeche Mode’s Tour of the Universe.

["The main guts of Wilson's pedalboard is a TC Electronic G-System, which has patches programmed for each song of the setlist. Each loop in the G-System is tied into a pedal to allow Wilson to add effects on the fly."](http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/Rig_Rundown_Steven_Wilson_and_Guthrie_Govan)

As seen in a tour gear abridgment, he uses the Boss TC G-System which is placed in front of the stage and which he controlls all the effects with.

The TC Electronic G-System is shown among many of the TC Electronic pedals Bill Kelliher of [Lethargy](https://equipboard.com/band/lethargy), [Today Is The Day](https://equipboard.com/band/today-is-the-day), and [Mastadon](https://equipboard.com/band/mastodon) uses, on this [artist page](http://www.tcelectronic.com/bill-kelliher/).

According to Stanley Clarke at (6:22) in this Premier Guitar Rig Rundown, the Return to Forever bassist uses the TC Electronic G System. "It's very sophisticated," Clarke said. "It does a lot of things - loops, you create your own effects, it's very clean sounding, it's great."

In this video, Jake Bowen was seen using a TC Electronic G System.

"I used an ENGL on The Odyssey for the rhythm stuff and probably a lot of the solo stuff, but at that time I had been using Line 6 live. It was so easy – you had the head and the pedalboard all contained. So it was easy to bring around. But I really liked the guitar sound on The Odyssey and then eventually I just brought out all the ENGL stuff live and that’s what I use now. So I have the Powerball as the main head, and I have a Fireball, and I’m using a TC G-System for chorus and delay and all that. It’s split in stereo, so that’s why the two heads. And that’s it – really simple." Michael Romeo

According to an article on Guitarthai, in addition to his own signature ESP Eclipse lineup, Sugizo also used an ESP Horizon, Fender Jaguars, Fender Stratocasters, Fender Telecasters, Gibson ES175, a Gibson Les Paul Custom, a Richenbacker 330, and electric violins made by Kranz. He also used Diezel VH4 head, a Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier head, a Mesa Boogie 4x12 cabinet, a TC Electronic TC 2290 Rackmount Dynamic Digital Delay, Decimator ProRack G power conditioner, a script Phase 90, a Boss CE-2 Chorus pedal, a Boss OD-1 pedal, a Providence Final Booster, a Digitech Whammy II, an Eventide Pitchfactor, an Eventide TimeFactor, an Eventide ModFactor, a TC Electronic G System, a Boss PS-5 Super Shifter, a Blackstar HT-DIST Distortion pedal, and a Providence Stampede Overdrive.

Tom used the TC Electronic G-System during his tour in Australia, seen around the 1:30 mark of the "Dear Carrie: The One Direction" video. It can also be seen during other sound checks during this tour.

According to Fulltone's website, Burchill's studio rig contained TC Electronic G-System.

At 4:26 he talks about it

"…And while I'm on a "mini" gear rant!! LOL"

"We´ve recently moved over to the TC Electronic G-System so we´re going full on with that one. We experimented a lot with different pedals before - we used a [Damage Control] Demonizer pedal for distortion but that wasn´t really doing it for us. Now we´ve got the LaBoga amps and we´re hooking them up with the G-System and basically that´s all we need to have a good rig."

Dave's pedal board is built around the TC Electronic G System, which has multiple studio quality effects built in, and can act as a controller with programmable presets.

From the wireless the signal goes to a t c electronics G-System.

According to Premier Guitar, Dunable uses TC Electronic G-System.

"I thought you’d never ask. 2011 Gibson Les Paul Axcess, with a Floyd-Rose whammy. I changed the pickups to Gibson T500’s and put a big ol’ brass block in the Floyd."

“I decided to buy three new Jeff Beck Strats, simple Marshall and THD amps, a TC Electronics G System pedal board and call it good. I’m also using Taylor and McPherson acoustic guitars, and an ASR electric mandolin that was handmade for me in the ’70s."

Se aprecia el G-System en su Rack.

It's all good and i love the guys! It was really easy to step on board as i was close friends with the booyas already beforehand and i had also played some live session stuff with them before. About amp settings, there are many on the album as we used a big pile of amplifiers and splitter the signals to many amps at the same time. We just got new Axe-fx 2 XL's with Ville this week and we'll be using them on the road from now on. Sounds awesome so far, even it's a bitch to program up ready. My beloved trusted amp that i have used almost a decade and are still using is Mesa Single Rectifier with a lil bit of mod, and TC g-system effect management system. And guitar is of course Jackson RR w/ Seymour Duncan TB4 & Jazz pickups. Get the best and fuck the rest!

On the product website it is stated that Niko Tsonev uses this piece of gear.

"Used this to control my entire rig from 2014-2017. Great delay and reverb sounds and fantastic ability to control amp channels, but very heavy!"
