Xpression vs G-Major

[mind_transplant]

I'm shopping for a cheap but decent effects unit that I won't be scared to use live for either theft or reliability reasons, and have narrowed it down to these two on the basis that they fit the price range and are footswitchable for live use. So I'm curious if anyone here has experience with either/both of these units, and if so how do they compare?

Re: Xpression vs G-Major

I used to own a Rocktron Intelleffect and still own an IntelliPitch. I also have a G Major in my rack. I have yet to check out the Expression hands-on but it looks to bridge the gap between the IntellEffect and the G Major. It's definately worth giving a demo if you can get your hands on one. Rocktron makes some very nice rack units and now that they have expanded the funtions it should kick butt.

I like the G Major quite a bit as well and I get some great tones out of it. Some folks complain that the controls and processor in the G Major can be quirky but I've had good luck with mine.

I dont think you can go wrong either way.

Re: Xpression vs G-Major

I'm really caught between the two. From experience with the 2290 when recording I'm thinking the TC will have better delay sounds (which is primarinly what I need the unit for) but the Rocktron has the speaker simulator which would be convenient...
