Sick with the never-ending GAS, that is...

Not sure if I missed the news re your current setup, but I see you're selling your G System. For a price which, I might add, might have made me re-think my whole approach if I hadn't spent hundreds of hours building/tweaking my soon-to-be-finished (yeah right) pedalboard. Seriously, people, 6k. If I hadn't finally figured out that presets and I can't be friends I'd tempted to buy it just in case.

Anyway, the point of this is to say that your interminable failure to be satisfied with your rig is an inspiration (and excuse) to us all, and I can't wait to see what's in its place.

I'm holding thumbs for a superbly engineered analogue board, myself.

If it sells, it's actually going to be replaced by a Limited Edition red one. So, aside from the slight improvement to the already good buffers, it's mostly a cosmetic upgrade. :-[ I still want an Eventide Eclipse and maybe a Lexicon in the rack, but that'll be in conjunction with, rather than replacing the G-Sys.

I still say, for the job they do, there's actually still nothing to really touch them. And yeah, not everyone is comfortable with patches, but for me it's second nature now (I can even tweak and save a patch while playing).

Oooh yeah, those red ones are purrrrty... Totally understand, and anyone who says otherwise is a bare-faced liar ?

Nice

Well I secretly bought a TC Nova System, downloaded the limited edition patches, added an expression pedal and a RC-3 looper, and I am well chuffed with the TC products once you spend a little time tweaking and getting to know the rig, this setup works well

when I grow-up who knows maybe a G-system for me :?

I think Alan has developed a habit of selling his gear for way cheaper than others would. ?

Did anyone notice the TC D-Two he sold just about a month ago?! ?

I generally only buy carefully at good prices and try pass that on when I sell (after all, I'm not in business selling s/h gear). I also price to sell, so I'm rarely negotiable on my price.

Sold for what I paid for it just a few months earlier - right here on the forum classifieds.

Suppose that's a good one for most of us to remember when buying and selling our gear too. Thanks

True that. Kudos to those who do.
