TC Electronic G-Major 2

The G-Major 2 is a multi-effects rack processor, made by Danish audio equipment manufacturer, TC Electronic. It is primarily designed for use on guitars and bass guitars. The G-Major 2 was introduced to the market in around 2008/2009.

The unit includes six groups of effects, developed by TC, which can be used; Filters, Compressors, Pitch-based effects, Modulation, Delay and Reverb The unit also has a gate and an EQ and offers advanced MIDI capabilities, relay switching and a flexible setup. The effects unit comes either black or silver-faced.

Matt uses this unit for Stockholm Syndrome and can be heard on the HAARP Live CD and DVD (which he kicks on after the second chorus) is what's known as 'zero-through flange'; which, incidentally, is the earliest form of flange, back when recording engineers were pinching the actual tape to get the effect. However, zero-through flange is available on very few conventional flanger pedals.

Chris also used and continues to use this unit for some delay parts including Exogenesis (Part 1), Interlude and the intro of Map of the Problematique.
