TC Electronic G system and Mark IV Combo Rig 2/3

Here is what the system sounds like. Please see the 1st video to see how everything is connected.

This Video is showcasing the transparency of the G System. Most Presets only have a little delay. The sound of the Mark IV is not altered at all.
I spend alot of time on R2 with the BB Preamp and without to show what can be done on this channel. A few don't like the R2 of the Mark IV. You be the judge.

Except for the examples, the Decimator G string is engaged the entire time. No alteration in tone or note length. I don't have to think about it being on. My amp is just quiet!!
Check out the weird EQ/Flange thing from around 9:00 to the end. Happens when I engage the drastic EQ in the G System.
For Recording:
Shure SM7
Alesis HD 24
RME Fireface 800
Logic 8

nice setup man, u got the shur gtr, the messa, the g string, and it looks like u got a few racks/processors in the back, and the g-system!

how is the shur by the way? is it really a good gtr?

[sus4add13]

@mrevolutions23 Thanks man. No shur here. It's an ANDERSON HOLLOW DROP TOP. Great guitar and Tom is a Super great guy. He and Shur are friends, however. Just the G and some pedals in a rack. Just got done giging with it. Loved every second, once again!

hi, this video is great.

your style too for sure.

would you please explain me what a R2 is?

[sus4add13]

@daronzio Thanks! R2 refers to the 2nd channel of the Mark IV amp. It stands for Rhythm 2. This can be anything from a 2nd clean channel to a lightly distorted channel to a crunchy rhythm channel.

To fix the EQ issue it is very simple. Don't use the relay switching. Buy yourself an AmpGizmo to do the switching . You use the pedals on the G System to change channels. You can preselect which channel on the amp goes with each preset. Very easy to do. Set up is like 10 minutes.

[sus4add13]

Of course. But that is over $200 just to be able to switch EQ in and out. I told myself that when I missed it, I'd buy the amp gizmo. it's been a almost a year and over 100 gigs, haven't missed it enough yet. The Amp Gizmo is a great unit!

@stebbZv You can make them sound fresh and cool too though. I know I have one...and it doesn't sound like this at all. 

[stebbZv]

@Internetpolice666 well, Steve Vai uses G-System ;)

[Internetpolice666]

Why does everybody who uses the G-system sound like some mid 90 sports guitarist. Where area all the cool players with attitude?

Was the G string in the loop, front of G system or both?

[chilln2music]

+1 on what are you playing at 0:40? Really diggin the progression!

[panuelo87]

what are you playing at 0:40?

[martinlutherkingIII]

Hey man, do you mind sharing your mark iv settings before you engaged your G System scooped sound? I think it is around the 7:10 mark. I really like that tone a lot more than the scooped sound
