Peter Thorn: getting deep with G-System

[Sooshdog]

lul is that a vader cabinet ?

[MrMurens]

Pickups??

[geetarplayer11]

how is he running all of the other stomp boxes with the g system?

[tcelectronic]

@geetarplayer11 See part 1 (Peter Thorn on G-System)

[rediconoclast]

Pretty poor micing on Peter Thorn - can't hear his comments properly in parts - and recorded at the SAE too! G-system sounds good though.

[ehambright]

Killer Rig

[cherrypieguy]

This guy is really truly amazing...no doubt about it...one question I have yes...is what does he think about guys like say...Dave Meneketti of Y&T who purely rip no doubt about it...matter a fact almost every Y&T album have been purely recorded straight through a Marshall head without NOTHING but some after added affects from the engineer. No doubt this guy gets every sound from Van Halen down to Soundgarden.....but does that really help one write music creatively that lasts the test of time?

[tcelectronic]

@cherrypieguy "but does that really help one write music creatively that lasts the test of time?"

Maybe the best question to ever ask manufactures in our line of work ..

- I wouldn't be a part of this company if I didn't think it faced that challenge in a satisfactory way.

[sinasl1]

@cherrypieguy Actually I really dig Dave! His playing/tone was always great.

[ZackGnh]

Wow so much is possible with the g-system. I just bought one and Im still stuck on getting it set up and working with my amp. Im try to just do the 4 cable method but I cant seem to get it working properly with the effects. Any tips? I havv no idea what I'm doing wrong.

[conkerzzz]

Was anyone else hoping for the Blade Runner Theme at 4:38? :D

[ThomasMotion]

Holy shit! The patch at 4:29 is amazing! Is this standard on the G System? I love that tone and vibe, I could do so many things with it!

I hope you guys can answer me.

[tcelectronic]

@ThomasMotion the patch is Peter Thorns.....but the effect is purely G-System......you can also get creative and cook up your own equally cool patches with G-System.

[keekat]

This vid is a great insight into some of the custom rigs out there, though next time fancy rigging his mic properly so that you don't have to turn the volume up and down between him speaking and playing guitar ;)

[rockerboy1989]

I have a G system + Engl Invader and Im using the 2 cable method to avoid a "tonesuck" in the frontend section... Ive tried even a Fryette valvulator buffer but it didnt help. It loses punch and dynamics while playing. Is there something I can do? I woul really like to use the front end for wahs, filter, compression etc...

thanks,

manuel

[f2kflyer]

I'd like to get one of these, but it seems a little intimidating. Considering the white paper tutorial by Laird off the forums - I would need to invest in balanced cables, and hum eliminators to run it in the 4 cable method.

[f2kflyer]

Pete is awesome. Great taste in tone, and gear. Great technique too. Plus, he always seems to be able to dive into some of this complicated gear, and make great presets.

[foreverjimmy]

we can only add more 4 stomeboxs with G-sysem ?? If in loop 1 . I use a Dist pedal , I want a TS-9 to boost it to get solo sound , what can I do ???

[Jacklovesrock]

@tcelectronic does it suck tone if i don't have a fx-loop

[smp156]

i think angus young is saying "fuck all, just plug into your amp and play your stupid guitar"

[DiggityHSauce]

My G-system does not switch my amp channels instantly, it takes about a half a second to do so, unlike my regular footswitch that comes with the amp... is it supposed to do that? How do I make it so it is instant?

[tcelectronic]

@DiggityHSauce Hiya, I’m afraid there is a slight delay on the relays used on G-System... it’s not half a second – more like 15-20 ms. I’m afraid there's not a lot you can do about it as it’s a limitation to the relays themselves. If you need faster switching I’d recommend buying a dedicated midi-to-relay-switcher and use the midi-out on G-System to change the amp channels.

Best wishes,

Joey @ TC

[vanbux]

@tcelectronic I've been seriously considering buying one of these units after first coming across it a few days ago. A delay in the amp switching would really frustrate me therefore I would want to switch my amp via the midi-to-relay function you mention. I have a Marshall TSL122. What would I need and who makes it? Thanks, vanbux

[soaringuitarist]

@vanbux Prob a RJM music amp gizmo. turns the midi information to relay stuff for your amp.

[deviato]

@tcelectronic Hi Joey :D

can TC Electronic Nova System switch amp channel and if it can, does it have same delay on the relays?

thx for your reply :)

gigi

[tcelectronic]

@deviato No - there is no relay switching included with the Nova System.

@tcelectronic

thx for your quick reply :)

[0911smokey]

How did you get the rotary sound for Black Hole Sun?? Would you post your settings?

[soaringuitarist]

@0911smokey Hes using a Line 6 Roto Machine... which they dont make anymore

[EdwardXI]

Hey there Joey,

Just wanted to know when is the RED HOT G-System going to be released. And is there anyway we can book one all the from Dubai, UAE? I'm really excited about it.

Thanks

[darrenw5094]

Tut tut......a Eventide TimeFactor Delay in there too. ;-) I have both units and they are savage.

[yeah3652]

Man im so tired I could sleep!

[munkyDanny]

Hey TC! Love the G-System, incredible unit! That PT100 sounds fantastic as well. Any chance of getting a few more pre-sets from Mr Thorn and maybe a few from Steve Vai? The old pre-set bank is still pretty empty.. ;P

[strabbs1]

i want his tele

[STRATOCASTER1992]

some of the greatest rock tones ever ,and very cool guy!

[andrewt248]

Man he's got them amps set BRIGHT! I would have thought that LP had P-90's in it if I wasn't looking right at it.

[sportsportsport]

I could live in that studio till the die I died...

[mrevolutions23]

me too

[Soulhunt3er]

u can play me the song of torn o shreds of defleppard

[pberrio]

What pedal is he using to get the rotary effect? A digitech what?

[JamesRedfern]

For a while he was using a Line 6 rotary simulator

[HarrisThomasMusic]

line 6 roto machince

[PunkLucas]

The patch at 4:29....WOW....amazing!!!!

[brian91145]

wow sounds great!! do you think the TC nova would sound good on a soldstate amp? (cube 60)**? Please reply TC!!

[tcelectronic]

Hiya,

Can't see any reason why not! The analog drive circuit should make a real difference to any solid state amp.

Best wishes,

Joey @ TC

[thielytavinhu1]

the G-system i have now for 2 years, I'm on studio recording our next album and using this beautiful pedal with my Diamond Amp Head Spec Op its endorsement, and the Nova system i have for couple of months , AMAZING overdrive and distortion, and great effects, i'm using on road, compact and easy to setup, i'm thinking to get the Nova Drive for my Set A.. Thank you

[thielytavinhu1]

beautiful rig, tone, everything is perfect, i have the g system and Nova system, both is amazing..I love tc

[tcelectronic]

Thanks for the positive feedback! So glad your enjoying your gear :). How long have you had your G-System and Nova System? Let me know if you post any videos of yourself playing with them as I'd love to hear what you're up to!

Best wishes,

Joey @ TC

[RezaMatix]

hey joey, is there anyone in Los angeles you can recommend to help me build my pedalboard around the G-system>?

[tcelectronic]

Heya RezaMatix,

Hmmmm, I'll ask a few people in TC and get back to you on this :).

Best,

Joey

[tcelectronic]

Hiya,

LA Sound Design is a good place to start. If you google them, they come up at the top of the list (srry YouTube doesn't allow me to post links). Hope this helps you out!

Best wishes,

Joey @ TC

[RezaMatix]

I went there...he was totally down on the Gsystem and he quoted over 1000 dollars for a pedal board without it...im sure they are great for people with more money..but I ended up making my own pedalboard and doing all the wiring myself...for free.

[dmohr7]

what is that guitar( the exact type) at 0:11

[tcelectronic]

It's a Gibson Les Paul, but not sure which exact model.

Best,

Joey

[ajfx]

Les paul custom

[DemoColorScheme]

Love the rig and sounds! Good stuff! Can't wait to combine my rig with the G-System.

[nathanguitarguru]

omfg thats like my exact dream rig (minus the les pauls)!

[belgium01]

Does anyone know what the volume pedal is being used here is?? I gather its a Boss FV500 but is it the low impedence unit or high impedence?? I assume its the high but you never know.

[rodie1994]

if ti works like my interface, hi, due to his using humbucker equipped guitars...

[samgam69]

i hav ethe g system... its insane so is pete thorn

[belgium01]

Great Video. Ive had my gsystem for a couple of years and im hearing sounds hear that i need. Looks like i need to explore the possibilities more. Would be great for TC to share a few patches. Anyhow, great to see some support and insight for the product.

[emgcarra]

You have to put the mike a little higher ...
