Billy Ray since the G-System has several FX loops I'm not sure the exact connections. I never ran mine in 4CM, I'd always go straight into the front of the amp running on a clean channel then I would use distortion pedals to get my distortion.
Glenn you should be using the 4CM so you can use the your great Traynor amp preamp. The 2cm you are currently using you are passing the whole dist + effects through the preamp, and some effects won´t sound as they should. 4cm will give you a more organic tone as the the dist + ovdr will pass through the preamp (just like connecting the pedals through the input) and all the effects through you poweramp stage via the fx loop.
Hey Glenn, I've seen a few of your videos over the years. Your reviews are always great and well done, so cheers for that please and keep doing them. I gotta say what you played at 4:23 was beautiful! awesome bit of playing!! Cheers man!
+metalteradeth Thank you very much. That riff actually turned into a song on my Road To Redemption album. It's called "Reunion". You should cheek it out to see where I took it from here in this video and how it developed into what it is today.
+Glenn DeLaune it's done I purchased it from iTunes I love it thank you. reunion is now one of my favourite songs to chill to right next to Ry Cooder cheers for getting back to me I shall check out your other albums, great playing dude
just got a new tube amp.nothing special i'ts a bugera v22 but clean channel is realy good only 1 12xa7 in the pre-amp so i was really considering the nova system (don't need all that power for what i do)even though i'ts tempting.glad you likeing it though.
@kennykanowski I would prefer the G-System but it cost three times more. For the price the GT-10 is very good and it sounds good with my tube amps using it in the 4 cable method.
hey glenn if you ever change rigs again consider the eleven rack i have heard so many good reviews on it. This thing sounds awesome tho. i might post a vid of my new rig
How come.You used to have a GT 10.I really got tired myself of the GT 10, too digital.I switched my self to single stompboxes and I am happy so far. I've heard a lot about TC electronic pedals and systems.They are pretty expensives though.Why you switched to TC electronics.
Which of the three Distortion pedals sounds better in an all tube Guitar amplifier ( Traynor YCS 50 or Fender Vibroking ) and a Fender Stratocaster or a GIbson Les Paul Guitar.Thanks.
man,really tempted.and the more i look at this thing the more iwant it.but what to do with the gt-10 and everything i got for it?i was thinking in getting the nova drive in front of my tube amp and just use the gt-10 in the loop of the amp.that way i'll stop messing with all the sims and get to playing. what you think bro?
Sure you can use those pedals, just put them in one of the loops. As far as expression pedals, the Mission Engineering are probably the best right now.
Hey Glen great stuff!!! I just purchased the Nova System to run with some pedals and my Marshall JVM410h head. G System coming in the fall as i just want to get my feet wet a bit first being a Pedalboard user for so long. That being said may I suggest a KILLER Boost/Overdrive Pedal for you that I think you will love called the Doug Aldrich Rocket Fuel by a company called Majik Box. I think you would love it!! All The Best: Doug
@zero82611 - Neither. I am pretty sure those are just volume dedicated pedals. So unless it's for volume don't use it. I think boss has another one for other stuff. I think it's called EV????. Search around. Also this vid is on the g system. I recomend you save up and get the g system as oppose to the nova system. Nova system is a great at home or recording tool but live the G system is pro standard.
ah fair enough. i may go to the store and see if they'll let me try. ill inform you if I have any luck. and great playing by the way. I may have to try this thumb picking at some point
@extremevideopro Does the Gt-10 have a more realistic/better tone quality than the Pod X3 Live? More than stomp models, I am looking for a unit with good sound qualities. I want the feel of an amp while directly plugging to the board. Will the Pod x3 live be better for this or the Gt-10? Thanks for your help!
can u switch for example the amp channel and an od pedal with delay in one stomp? another question, i play on a mesa dual rec, would it be better through the loop or in front?
I'm planning to play live performances in various places, and I need the most versatility. I'll be plugging straight into the PA system through an XLR, and I need a unit with both good amp modeling and good stomp modeling. I play at church, so I need tones for anywhere between Lincoln brewster to Hillsong. I won't be using a tube amp, so I will be depending heavily on the preamp for my tones. Would the Boss GT-10 suit my needs or will the POD X3 LIVE?
I've always tried to steer away from individual pedals for the primary just of my board. The whole scenario of stomping everywhere to shut effects on/off aggravated me.Could you explain how easy it is to switch from your distortion pedals, to preset effects on the g-system back and forth?
i've never seen anyone on youtube before that uses the very same picking technique as me (using a thumb pick for alternate picking and strumming) - nice to see i'm not the only one! :)
Hello I want to buy a Nova System and an expression pedal Boss FV500. My question is between the models and FV500L FV500H. What is compatible with Nova System?
hey. just wondering can you use the gt 10 to control the nova drive? just wondering as i have and love the gt 10 but i'm not to keen on the distortion and the nova drive sounds great on the demo's i've seen.
Another great demo Glenn! Do you stil have this unit? My question is regarding to AMP swicthing. I have an ENGL E530 preamp which has 2 footswitch ins. One for HiGain/LoGain & Clean/lead the other one is for PreampDefeat & Counter On/Off. Do you think G-System can handle this?
@extremevideopro id love to hear you demo one, most of the demo's of the eleven rack on youtube are no good. Cool rig btw, Mr Vai uses one of these lol
Glenn-I can see that thow the G system is more of a price tag then the boss&line six I can see that its less programing to set your effect & Drive settings to store them. But does it sacrifice quality sound with digital effects?
Immediate "Like" for playing Stone Temple Pilots! :) On an unrelated side note, I also really dig your instructional videos in general! And you playing!
Hi .... I have a t. c nova I have a big request to colleagues about the reviews I want to replace the T c nova on G-system it worth it if there is a big difference ... thank you
Hi Glenn , I have a question for you , I have the boss gt-10 and you was a really help to understand this pedal.Now you think is a good idea change me pedal for a tc- g system ? Thanks !!!
Glen, thanks so much for this video - I decided to add a Nova Drive to my G-System for the integration you showed. Is there something special you have to do to get it to show up in the effects list? I hooked it up with a MIDI y cable (I had to make one as nobody sells the originals anymore) and updated my firmware to v4.05, but the NOVA DRIVE still doesn't appear in my list.
Great demo of the G System and the Nova Drive ! I run my gear through the effects loop but after hearing how yours sounds I wonder if I need to. Do you do allot of volume edits to make sure the Delay is balanced ?
Hello Sir, well you really can't compare the two because this unit doesn't have any amp modeling. Only Effects!! But the FX are very very good. I'd say the GT-1000 effect are equally good but in the Effect category this unit might have some features the Boss does not have.
Seems more of a demo on 3 completely unrelated OD/distortion pedals than a demo on the G System? It showed my absolutely nothing that couldn't be done with 3 OD pedals on the floor??
Hi Glenn, do you still recommend the Nova pedal with the G system? I am asking since the video is quite old and I am not sure if you still have that system or you figured out something better, thx :)
hi glenn, wanted to let you know about gearmanndude on youtube, he does a lot of reviews of pedals. I bought one of his luthor drive distortion pedals and its killer. Check him out!
@extremevideopro The G system Sounds as good as you play. The GT 10 Does not do you justice. Even if it costs 3 times as much ,it sounds a HUNDRED times Better. Cheers

I was just as impressed by your use of the thumb pick as I was by the pedal. That's a pretty cool technique.
Billy Ray since the G-System has several FX loops I'm not sure the exact connections. I never ran mine in 4CM, I'd always go straight into the front of the amp running on a clean channel then I would use distortion pedals to get my distortion.
Glenn that pedal is PERFECT for the blues based stuff you are doing as well as any rock stuff as well.
Glenn you should be using the 4CM so you can use the your great Traynor amp preamp. The 2cm you are currently using you are passing the whole dist + effects through the preamp, and some effects won´t sound as they should. 4cm will give you a more organic tone as the the dist + ovdr will pass through the preamp (just like connecting the pedals through the input) and all the effects through you poweramp stage via the fx loop.

+Glenn DeLaune that's an awesome piece of music just had a listen . thank you man where can I buy your album?
You can git it from my website where there are links to CD Baby, iTunes etc. Thank you very much.
+Glenn DeLaune it's done I purchased it from iTunes I love it thank you. reunion is now one of my favourite songs to chill to right next to Ry Cooder cheers for getting back to me I shall check out your other albums, great playing dude
Another great demo, Glenn, thanks. Looking forward to the blues CD, too.
Rondo Music in NYC. Model number CNB-PDC 4100G. It's been good for 3 years now. Rodie tested, R-N-R Approved!!!
just got a new tube amp.nothing special i'ts a bugera v22 but clean channel is realy good only 1 12xa7 in the pre-amp so i was really considering the nova system (don't need all that power for what i do)even though i'ts tempting.glad you likeing it though.

Really cool. Make sure the album is available online, I'll get a copy.

Great review of the TC Electronic G system, I appreciate it.

Another great video Glen.
finally got my pinnacle, and i also bought a line 6 m13...I'm really liking this new setup

Is it possible to hook up head phones and use this system as an in-ear monitor?
i've never seen anyone on youtube before that uses the very same picking technique as me (using a thumb pick for alternate picking and strumming) - nice to see i'm not the only one! :)
Oh cool. Yeah there are not many of us are there. I've been playing like that for over 40 years. Using a thumb pick that is.
Dude the tone for Custard Pie was dead on..... I'm super jealous.
Hello I want to buy a Nova System and an expression pedal Boss FV500. My question is between the models and FV500L FV500H. What is compatible with Nova System?
@extremevideopro does it suck tone if i don't have a fx-loop
Nice chops
I just got one because my best friend is awesome and gave it to me brand new
Glenn have you compared the G system with the Rocktron Utopia 300. some say it sounds great live as well as recording session on the spot creations .
hey. just wondering can you use the gt 10 to control the nova drive? just wondering as i have and love the gt 10 but i'm not to keen on the distortion and the nova drive sounds great on the demo's i've seen.
Amazing sound!!! really loved the VID

Do you think G-System can handle this?
You should try the G-Force too !
hey glen?does the g put those distortion pedals in front of the amp.and the rest in after you're pre amp?
@extremevideopro id love to hear you demo one, most of the demo's of the eleven rack on youtube are no good. Cool rig btw, Mr Vai uses one of these lol
Hey buddy would you have the download for tc electronics vyzor editer
I used to have it. You can't find it??
@extremevideopro
For the GT I assume ?!?!?
Another great vid and great to hear some STP riffage:D
are you still using this glenn?
@extremevideopro yea haha guess simpler and easier to use is better for live or Studio. i
Glenn-I can see that thow the G system is more of a price tag then the boss&line six I can see that its less programing to set your effect & Drive settings to store them. But does it sacrifice quality sound with digital effects?
Immediate "Like" for playing Stone Temple Pilots! :)
On an unrelated side note, I also really dig your instructional videos in general! And you playing!
oh yeah Glenn I am having a cutom head built man when its done i will make a vid for it
hey glen, what did you do with the G? are you experimenting with it stil? or did it not do anything for and you stopped useing it all together?
@93309377 No I have not but I would use it in 4 cable method. Google it and give it a try.
what, no gt10 anymore?
I've been wanting to get that pinnacle 2 for awhile now
i love the nova drive! :D Thanks for the video! :)
Hi .... I have a t. c nova I have a big request to colleagues about the reviews I want to replace the T c nova on G-system it worth it if there is a big difference ... thank you
how do play pinch harmonics with a thumb pick?
Hello how did you get the sticker for the pedals in the g system ?
Hello how did you make the stickers please? materials ? pens? thank you in advance.
Hi Glenn , I have a question for you , I have the boss gt-10 and you was a really help to understand this pedal.Now you think is a good idea change me pedal for a tc- g system ? Thanks !!!
@extremevideopro were did you get that pedal board?
Which system do you prefer G system or GT-10
Where I can get the label for my g system I got a Proco rat
Nice review Jerry!!
Glenn, Do you prefer digital effects or analog effects ?
Glen, thanks so much for this video - I decided to add a Nova Drive to my G-System for the integration you showed. Is there something special you have to do to get it to show up in the effects list? I hooked it up with a MIDI y cable (I had to make one as nobody sells the originals anymore) and updated my firmware to v4.05, but the NOVA DRIVE still doesn't appear in my list.
hi after using all of this pedals what can you tell me about the pod x3? whats you're personal opinion on that unit?
Plesase help mee... what are the global level settings on your G SYSTEM?
Havier I'm sorry but I don't have my G-System here with me right now.
Hey Glenn, where can I find a pedal case like yours?
Are you giving up the GT-10?
Can you Give me the Tab oggi the first song?
Nice demo, I lvoe that Custard Pie By Led Zep at 5:23 :)
Great demo of the G System and the Nova Drive ! I run my gear through the effects loop but after hearing how yours sounds I wonder if I need to. Do you do allot of volume edits to make sure the Delay is balanced ?
TC VS GT-10 ??
Glenn, thaks for the video, ¿ this is better than Boss Gt 1000???

+David Southgate I work for a sticker printing company.
Hi Glenn, do you still recommend the Nova pedal with the G system? I am asking since the video is quite old and I am not sure if you still have that system or you figured out something better, thx :)
ahmed rashed Yes I do recommend the Nova Drive along with the G-System. Make sure you get that special MIDI cable too.
thx man, cheers
@extremevideopro I hear you there,for a moment i had to really look a the new format just to post a comment.LOL.
Tanks for answer.
what pedal board is that?
hi glenn,
wanted to let you know about gearmanndude on youtube, he does a lot of reviews of pedals. I bought one of his luthor drive distortion pedals and its killer. Check him out!
thank's bro.
very good review ... :)
@extremevideopro
Thanks :)
Who on Earth disliked this video? Must be a Line 6 or Boss employee.
@extremevideopro The G system Sounds as good as you play. The GT 10 Does not do you justice. Even if it costs 3 times as much ,it sounds a HUNDRED times Better.
Cheers
best answer ever. funnier because its true lol!
I work at a sticker company.
this g system sounds better then the lame boss gt 10
Ok nice playing but I thought this was a gear demo not a playing demo
What NO DISTORTION that’s weird
"Why do you have 3 distortion pedals?"....said no guitarist....ever.
stone temple pilots?
Sounds very "pedally" to my ear...
Another great job but THIS NEW UA-cam FORMAT SUXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great pedal board, I do own one. Better song, sounds great my friend.
I'm planning to play live performances in various places, and I need the most versatility. I'll be plugging straight into the PA system through an XLR, and I need a unit with both good amp modeling and good stomp modeling. I play at church, so I need tones for anywhere between Lincoln brewster to Hillsong. I won't be using a tube amp, so I will be depending heavily on the preamp for my tones. Would the Boss GT-10 suit my needs or will the POD X3 LIVE?
glenn do you prefer the tc over the line 6 hd pedals?
