If you play guitar, get ready to drool over the slickest electronics you’ll ever handle with your shoes. Guitar effects boxes are nothing new, but the sound is usually decidedly low-fi. Not so with TC Electronic’s G-System, which packs TC’s high-end effects, analog looping, amp switching, floor control, and other extras into a gorgeous case. One major innovation is the slick metal “switch-encoders” for editing: think knobs for your toes. If you can’t afford the G-System’s EUR 1395 price tag, TC also has a real-analog drive pedal for getting a vintage, gutsy sound, at EUR 275.
