En graos le G-Force et le G-major ont une qualité d'effet ainsi que de transparence comparable... ce qui peut facilement s'expliquer etant donné que le G-force a tout de meme 5-6 ans, et que les prix des convertisseurs AD/DA a baissée.
D'autre part la partie logiciel était déja developpée grace au G-force, et des gros morceaux ont donc pu etre réutilisé a moindre cout pour le G-major.

En voici un extrait qui compare justement le G-force au G-major... Bonne lecture !!!
Comparison between the G-Force and the G-Major
The G-Force allows eleven effects (including noise gate, tuner and speaker filter) to be used simultaneously. If you install the parametric equalizer upgrade (available for download at TC Eelectronic), the G-Major allows eight effects (including noise gate and tuner).
The G-Force features an overdrive effect, not the G-Major.
The G-Force features both an intelligent and a fixed pitch shifter, the G-Major only has a fixed pitch shift effect.
The G-Force features a global speaker filter, not the G-Major. A speaker filter is very useful when sending overdrive sounds direct into a PA, a recorder or headphones.
The G-Force can rout its effects in any order, while the G-Major only has three routing alternatives (series, parallell, series-parallell).
The G-Force allows effect spillover from both Delay and Reverb, the G-Major only from its Delay.
The G-Force's effect parameters can be controlled by eight external modifiers, the G-Major's only by four (if you really need eight is another question).
The G-Force's effect parameters can be controlled by internal modifiers such as a pitch detector, an envelope follower, two LFO:s and two ADSR:s. The G-Major does not have any internal modifiers.
You can control 45 effect parameters in the G-Force with modifiers (max 20 parameters at the time). The G-Major only allows 30 parameters to be modified (max 20 parameters at the time). This may be a natural consequence of the G-Major featuring a smaller number of effects in the first place.
The G-Force can use memory cards, not the G-Major (you should still be able to backup presets through MIDI on the G-Major).
The advantages with the G-Major compared to the G-Force seem to be:
The G-Major is much less expensive.
The G-Major seems to have some ready-made effects like Ping-Pong Delay, Dynamic Delay and Vibrato that are not directly available in the G-Force (without first creating them using modifiers), making the G-major easier to use in this respect.
The G-Major may switch between presets faster than the G-Force because of the G-Major's simpler routing possibilities (and faster processor?).
The G-Major features two relays for amp channel switching, in case your Midiboard cannot do it. Having relays in the effect processor instead of in a Midiboard also means one cable less from the Midiboard.
The G-Major features balanced 1/4" input jacks (in addition to balanced outputs), which can be useful together with a DI box and/or mixer (even more so if there was a speaker filter). The G-Force has balanced outputs only.
The G-Major can sync to MIDI Clock (letting other MIDI devices control its tempo). The G-Force can only have its global tempo tapped in through MIDI (say a Midiboard switch).
The G-Major's digital I/O can handle either 44.1 or 48 kHz sample rates, the G-Force only 44.1 kHz.
The G-Major has a dither feature (which is used when connecting its digital I/O to gear with other bit resolutions).
The G-Major features two tuner modes, "fine" and "coarse" (for faster tuning).
The G-Major may be able to dump single presets as SysEx files (the MIDI implementation chart in the online manual doesn't mention bulk dumps like the G-Force's MIDI implementation chart does). The G-Force must dump the whole user bank's 100 presets at the same time.
To summarize, I think the G-Major is a better choice than the G-Force for most people: it's much less expensive, should be easier to program and has a few other useful functions, such as a relay for amp channel switching. The G-Force is propably more suitable for those that enjoy building complex patches and/or demand as much flexibility as possible in one effect unit. Both units are said to offer the same sound quality. Both units have useful features for studio recording, but not the same ones: the G-Major has balanced inputs and can accomodate different sample rates and bit resolutions, the G-force instead features a speaker filter, a drive effect and a memory card slot for preset backup.
