You must not have read my posts the whole way thru. I think TC sounds great--and I'll add here that the sound is about as good as it gets. So, from our common frame of reference, we are in agreement.

Just don't send them too much data thru midi or they crash & burn. A unit that is flashing and clicking does not sound very good. Actually, it doesn't sound at all. I've had 3 TC units and they all did/do it. They are the absolute worst at handling midi data of any kind of midi capable unit i have ever owned and I couldn't begin to tell you that how many that is. Even a simple midi expression pedal with the pedal wah effect makes intolerable clicking noises.

For the $1500 street price, I expect that they should do everything they say they can do, but they can't. Not everybody needs or uses all that extra midi power....but I do.

If you are just going to do simple program changes and not use the pedal wah effect, the G-Force is an excellent sounding processor.

I dig what you're saying, Jeff.
