The industry leader in effects, TC Electronic has promised to upgrade its hugely successful G-system by, as well as making it available in a limited edition sexy pink/red colour, by incorporating analogue circuitry. This should dramatically improve its signal path. As well as having more reliability it will include extra effects including a new univibe and more reverb options. The most dramatic extra is probably the ‘kill-dry’ switch, so that the system will be more compatible with other pedals and systems in a parallel circuit. The downside to the system though is that its only coming out with a limited stock of 300, so you need to bring speed to the game if you want one.
