True, but the amp switching relay on the G Major only works if the footswitch input on your amp is 1/4" (it isn't on my JSX, so that ruled that out) - plus, I didn't wanna take the risk with the reliability problems that I've heard about from the G-Major, and the XPression being able to phantom power a MIDI controller (rather than having to run a power cable to it) definitely kicks ass as well!
