G Major vs Nova System

[The Rhone]

I had a go on the Nova system floorboard and the quality of the effects blw me away, they were crystal clear, so I am now considering buying one. But before I do I've seen that you can pick up a G Major for less tan half the price.

Are the quality of the effects on the G Major as good as those on the Nova system, or is there any other effects processor around the £350 - £400 worth a try?

I have a G-Major. It's $100 less now than when I bought it, and I think it sucks. I hate mine. Thumbs down. Until I get something more controllable, I'm stuck with it.

When it comes to price there isn't much competition.. the Nova is an awesome effects unit and solid MIDI switch for one decent pricetag. It sucks tone a little bit though.. on an Engl it really exaggerates the pick attack with this really digital sound. That isn't a big deal since I have two FX loops.. but I think its a cool piece on the whole. Its really convenient especially if you have a MIDI head. Otherwise you should probably get a G Major to get the relay switching, but the only G Major I ever had died after two days.

So the Invader 100 has two FX loops but no MIDI control Temps?

It has two FX loops plus MIDI.. I just meant, for rhythms the way it colors the tone is a little obvious. I just use it on cleans and solos when it isn't as noticeable and then switch to my other FX loops to bypass the Nova altogether when I don't want it to change the sound.

What about the G-major 2 BTW? How is it upgraded from the first one?

Woah just looked into the Nova System, looks and sounds great. Plus its everything included in 1 foot controller, surely this would be easier than lugging a rack mount around?

The Nova system is great, but if it's sucking the tone it's a concern.

I've been using pedals for about 5 years and I love the sound I'm only switching to multi effects so I can build a patch and chop and change between them quickly as I have to sing as too.

#The only way seems to buy a pedal switching system or go via the Pre-amp rack route.
