TC Electronic G System iB Modified Limited

G-System iB Modified

A Step Beyond Perfection!

We are proud to present an improved and exclusive ‘iB Modified’ version of our highly-acclaimed G-System multi effects board. iB Modified refers to a specific modification that elevates this exclusive version of G-System to a whole new level in terms of sonic purity!

In the northern part of Italy, a tech wizard carries out modifications and designs complete guitar effects systems for some of the best guitar players in Europe that center around our original G-System. His name is Massimo Mantovani, and one of his most popular mods is a G-System input buffer tweak.

Coincidentally, ProGuitarShop in the US, who has previously been working together with us on creating custom PGS TonePrints, enquired if it would be possible to develop an improved version of G-System. The link to Mantovani was obvious!

Therefore, we teamed up with ProGuitarShop and set out to collaborate with Mantovani to develop the ultimate input buffer modification. By changing the analog input design as well as a number of components, a super transparent tone that offers loads of punch and a snappier response has been created for you – and your crowd – to enjoy.

Further, this exclusive, custom version is a genuine stunner with its mean-looking black finish that is guaranteed to cause heads spinning on stages everywhere.

Apart from the above improvements, this exclusive edition features the same ultimate versatility and musicality as its predecessor, delivering a complete and uncompromised package of effects, control and integration that is unmatched in terms of pure flexibility and quality.

With its unique combination of two DSP sections providing the very highest quality effects, analog loops, amp switching, floor control, and even 9VDC power outputs for your pedals, G-System iB Modified offers the highest level of integration attainable!
