The know-how of TC Electronic – renowned in top-end audio hardware and effects-processing markets - is all to your disposal and benefit, guaranteeing outstanding performance.
Front Panel
Display & TunerThe display consists of two sections. One for detailed Preset information and editing. The other section clearly displays Preset Number or Tuner information with large digits that are easy to see even on distance e.g. on a stage.
PCMCIAWith a standard PCMCIA card (not supplied) you have perfect and easy backup of your favorite presets. You can store up to 10 banks of 100 presets on a 1Mb card.
Tap TempoAll tempo-related effects can be set to respond to a tapped tempo. Either from the G-Force front panel or from a MIDI pedal or even a momentary switch connected to the Pedal Input on the G-Force rear panel. This allows the Tempo of e.g. the Delay to be perfectly matched to the song you are currently playing.
Effect Block KeysThe 9 Effect Block keys serve for various purposes and make the navigation in the G-Force a breeze. From the Recall page effect blocks can be switched on/off with a single click. In the Effects menu each block is accessed fast with a double click on one of the block keys. This means easy editing and preset configuration. No endless menus to scroll trough to achieve basic functions.
Fast NavigationNavigating in menus is natural and logical. With two cursor keys for vertical navigation, a dedicated Parameter Select wheel and a dedicated wheel for changing Parameter values, it simply doesn’t get any better.
Preset Structure
Building your Preset - routing your effectboard:The G-Force is packed with 225 presets covering a wide range of styles from gentle to extreme processing. Additional xxx presets are available via the G-Card created by some of the worlds most esteemed guitarists.
Though the preprogrammed presets cover most any style, you will probably like to dive in and program or adjust presets yourself. The G-Force itself holds 100 User preset locations. With a 1Mb PCMCIA card, up to 10 banks of 100 presets can be stored additionally - Either for direct access or for simple backup. Setting up effect-algorithm blocks in the G-Force Routing matrix is extremely easy. The idea is pretty much like building a brand new pedal-board for each preset without touching a single chord or soldering a single plug. Use the PARAMETER WHEEL to select the position where you wish to insert an effect and select which block to insert using the VALUE wheel. Route in serial or parallel, three blocks in parallel or more and the rest in serial – it’s up to you.
Then go to your Edit menu using the ARROW keys, double-click on the effect block your wish to setup first and you are on your way.

Partial RecallOf course you can start building each block from scratch every time, but wouldn’t it be nice if you could just extract your favorite effect blocks from various presets and mix them in one single preset without having to "dial in" all the values? You can – using the Partial Recall function. Via the Recall display you can simply chose to recall only one effect block and load this block into your current preset.
External ControlGuitarists are the most demanding group of practicing musicians when it comes to controlling their sound and effects. The G-Force is nothing less than unique; not only can you control virtually any parameter via a MIDI board and expression pedals but it is also EASY to set up.
There tend to be two main directions in controlling Guitar sound via any pedal board.Instead of having to figure out which MIDI messages your board actually sends out and dialing these values into the G-Force – simply let the G-Force detect received messages in the "learn" mode.
ExampleYour MIDI board has 10 switches and one Expression pedal attached. 5 switches on the board sends program changes and 5 send control changes. On the five switches sending program changes you setup your radical sound changes e.g. 1 for clean, 1 for Chrunch and 1 for Overdrive. The last two you might use for special sounds. Each of these sounds you program with basic effects. The five switches sending Cc Messages can be used as on/ off switches for e.g. Delay, Chorus, Reverb, Compressor, and the last maybe for Tap Tempo. It is really up to you.
Expression PedalsUse up to eight connected Expression pedals to change parameter values. Which parameter the expression pedal controls, is set at preset level. This means that even with a single expression pedal connected you can vary its function from preset to preset. In one preset it could act as Volume control, in another as a Whammy – or what about floating control of Reverb level, the Depth of a Chorus or…??? The options are endless – and you CAN really express yourself!
