The G system switches amp channels using a standard guitar cable, not midi. I've just ordered mine at the weekend, woohhooo!!!


Ooooh la la

This thing seems to be pure magic!


It really looks more and more tempting... first I need a guitar with a trem though!


"first I need a guitar with a trem-o-lo" ?  :D
That's spelt 'vibrato' or 'whammy'. 'Tremolo' is volume based.


Blame Fender, they called their tremolo arms vibrato and their amp tremolo became vibrato.

My joke comes from "Trem though" sounding like "Tremolo".

Give me a break people =(

Well I thought it was funny... Just pointing out that it was Leo Fender's fault that loads of people mistake tremolo for vibrato. What a tw@t eh?

Oh  :( I thought you could just hook a standard jack from one of the inputs to the socket for the footswitch. Its a MArshall DSL I'm using.


You can on the G-Major.  Depending on the type of footswitch the amp uses you may need to make a custom cable, but the manual covers all that.  :)

A power block which I bought on Ebay arrived today - Rather impressed. Very small, very tidy - 10x 9v output at 1000mA, since I don't own 10 pedals, it seems like a good investment aswell.

Only thing I can fault it on is that the power leads are a bit short, you could ofcourse get extenders. and it should be fine on a small pedalboard, aslong as you keep it in the middle, each power lead is about 30cm end to end.

For those that are interested - The picture is a bit out of proportion.

are you sure that isn't Vibrato for Tremolo? :wink:

And Noodle...; that was a really contrived pun as far as I could tell. Perhaps it's your accent.

Mine, I suppose. Going through it it does sort of work but I'm not in the habit of reading things aloud and spotting things like that.

Bad horsie arrived - Needs a bit of oil on the spring due to squeaking, and it's pretty damn noisy when it's pressed down - is it meant to do this, or is there a fault?

Any pedal builders/modders got a clue?

Other than that it's great - Looks good, feels good, great range, and great sound - Other than the noise.

Most wah pedals in my experience create large amounts of noise when active. If you're playing whilst it's happening it shouldn't be noticeable though. Just curious; is the morley the same as any other wah apart from the switch and pot technologies. For example, could you replace the inductor with a halo to get a sweeter sound?

It's not quite like any other wah, the range is huge, and it sounds superb.

And I believe other than the optical pot, the internals are the same as any other wah, cept different values, but presumeably you could mod it.

Hey,

I have two old effects (old dunlop wah(the hendrix one) and old marshall stompbox(shred master)) which create alot of noise when NOT activated, they are also noisy when active but alot less.

I first figured i had the wrong power supply so i went out to get a 9DC one which is required, but nothing changed.

Anyone have a clue?

Thnx in advance, Henk

Worked out the noise problem - The guy had sent it with a battery in, which I never noticed, and had absent mindedly used an adapter for the pedal aswell.

After taking the battery out it's much better.
