Hi sir, I've heard about the G7s and G9s but I haven't had the time to test them. Are they really that big an improvement compared to the previous GFX series? In what ways/fields have they improved?
Patch changes are less noticeable compared to my previous AX.... and Di.... Likewise, tails of sustained notes on a number of my delay and flange settings remain unaffected when I change patches, having a bit natural release from the current patch to the next. This is important to me as the current band I'm playing with requires me to use a number of modulation adding layers to each song. I usually use 4-5 tones per song, so a seamless transition is necessary for me.
I still use other pedals to compliment these, i.e. volume pedal, boost, etc. that I need depending on the stage set-up, room acoustic, & stuff, as multi-effects still tend to sound different in various amps, guitars, and other situations. Hope this helps.
Bottom line for me is that I, not the effects, have to make it work. I could have had a Mesa Boogie Mark IV in front of me with my PRS hollowedbody or '59 Strat yet don't know how to compliment a single song. I went through the motion of spending quality time with the instruments and be a musician more than a technician.
I recently had a jamming session with Jun Lopito. He sounded almost the same wherever he plugged in and in whatever guitar was available....
