if you want something that does everything the G System can do with none of the headaches then get a Helix
Firstly, the guitar input was rubbish. So much so that until they updated it after several years of production most users were having to buy an external buffer to use before their G Systems.
Next is the complete misery of having to set your gain levels correctly. This is much trickier than it sounds.
Although built to survive nuclear attack the unit was overly heavy.
Oh, and if you do decide to get one be sure to read this as the manual was ABSOLUTE CACK

Or get a Helix or FX8 cause it's 2017
My G went wrong mid gig and left me in a right pickle one night... I wouldn’t have another.
Supportact said: [my style is] probably more an accumulation of limitations and bad habits than a 'style'.
Didn't think there were any drives on the G-System.
I picked up one recently 2nd hand which has the modified buffer, and have had no noise problems with it at all using the 4cm..
Didn't find it at all complicated, as there really isn't too much about it to make it that way.
I wouldn't buy a new one at near £800, instead a vgc iB modified at half price or less is a really good buy, and the effects do sound very nice, even for what is now a 10+yr old unit.
There are no drives on the G-System :-)
