[@guitarpedalshoppe782]

This thing is going to blow up the gear world....

[@GuitarPedalShoppe77]

Manny Fragoza there’s thousands of great pedals out there, the one you mention is apples and oranges but hey thanks!

[@accurtis2763]

@Manny Fragoza not a chance

[@patrickrosington1174]

It has a ton of mediocre sounds. How would it blow any world up lol they all sound so fake and bad

[@guitarpedalshoppe782]

Patrick Rosington well it’s been a year and we sell a ton of them still so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@accurtis2763]

A powerhouse in the hands of a powerhouse. Incredible demo.

[@TSFAHTPS]

AWSOME sounds RJ!!!

[@fatback2]

cool pedal and a very slick demo. nice job!

[@Thesoundparcel]

killer job again folks!

[@johnw5734]

First time I've heard a synth pedal sound like a guitar. It's got to be the way you're playing it, RJ. It sounds very cool.

[@strat0871]

Great groove !

[@painkilla1972]

Wow, that thing looks like the swiss army knife of modulation pedals. Great demo RJ!

[@OfficialPerfectoDeCastro]

That’s a fun pedal!

[@garyt7855]

Cool pedal 👍👍

[@JJDPROMEDIAPRODUCTION]

Yes!!! Instant Funk Pedal! I love it.. ~Thanks Form a Fellow Motown brother! :)

[@jimmyandkathyharrell]

Neat stuff!

[@Philtration]

That Stutter Filter made me have a Kung Fu movie flashback. Very cool!

[@stefankarlssonice]

Intriguing!

[@TyRobertsmedia]

I have the GFS Specular Tempus - now I want to combine this baby with that one... GFS's sound quality and tone are up there with TC Electronic and any other piece of high-end studio gear you might find.

[@VINISAMPLES]

Comparing GFS with TC Electronic

[@martimdesouzajunior7585]

Awesome demo! You explored the pedal extensively and made it sound good. In other demos I've seen it sounds rather sterile and sometimes chirpy. But it's very tweakable, uh? If you spend some time on it, you can make it sound good.

[@CamiloVelandia]

badass!!!!

[@IPushHard]

Really? That's a SWEET BOX! ...and I'm no "synth" fan! What I love about it is that you can actually CREATE your own shit for your own shit or even somebody elses shit and it will be completely unique! This pedal could easily replace 3-4 pedals on your board and you still come out with more options than you had. Did I mention that it sounds fantastic? Color me impressed! ...by the way RJ, Andy beat you by 4 minutes getting the video up. : )

[@UnleashDLion]

My favorite type of music suddenly changes depending on what RJ is playing in the moment of this video.

[@ezm69]

The Terraforms time on my board was so short-lived............

[@NOEFFECTS27]

Did you Switched Terraform by this one? I am trying to choose between these two... Regarding individual effects (for example only chorus or only phaser) which of them sounds better?

[@ShawnTubbs]

Well of coarse I stabbed the thumbs up! Duh!!! You do great work R.J. !!

[@RJRonquillo]

You are very kind maestro Tubbs.

[@johnlong5003]

i want this but not sure the basic sounds sound as good as terraform - it does a lot more for sure , the GFi is gonna be hard t find to demo in a shop - this does look interesting tho

[@sumgui6010]

That's a cool pedal man! And as always you kill it - I just picked up something similar to this but more budget friendly, it's a EHX MOD11, you gotta check one out!

[@ben.g.414]

Great demo and great playing as always ! How much would this thing set me back ?

[@jonathanhandsmusic]

fury fury I'm sure it's very expensive. Well, to me at least. Still very cool gadget.

[@danielschafhautle1691]

Think its about 380

[@teriakamoto]

@@danielschafhautle1691 Surprising. I would've guessed 399.00-525.00 USD. There are Distortion pedals that cost more. Can you believe that ? If you divide the play time multiplied by the enjoyment time from the amount, then subtract the days of the year it becomes quite affordable.

[@MARK5-FX]

Nice! Does it have an expression pedal input?

[@vladimirpavlovic9488]

Yes! You can control up to 6 parameters at once with it!

[@Souldoubtrocks]

Mason sent me brother.

[@brwhyon]

Zoia or Poly Digit/Beebo would be my go to , love GFI, but the latter beats it hands down. GFI , make a touch screen, customizable pedal and change my mind.

[@aleksmayer5907]

Have you bought the Zoia or the Beebo yet? I own the Beebo for a few days now and I am wondering if the GFI pedal sounds more natural and organic when it comes to modulation effects.

[@brwhyon]

@@aleksmayer5907 Hey Aleks, I did pick up a Zoia but haven't talked myself into a Poly/Beebo yet. I have a MOD Duo that is similar to the Beebo in its function. As for the Zoia, well I just haven't spent a whole lot of time with it to be honest, been spending more time with the Hologram Microcosm, almost an instrument on its own.

[@lushkordz6643]

If i would switch to a Stomps' PB i will choose the GFI Specular Tempus + the Synesthesia ++ a Vertex Nyle Komp N a Wampler Dual Fusion OD ++ a Blackbird Tube Preamp ++ MXR 10bands EQ ...N maybe another TriChorus from Neunaber... A very good demo by a so cool funky dude

[@bowdenmcallister993]

WHO IS THIS ONE PERSON THAT DISLIKED THIS?!?!?! Admit yourself to treason or face punishment from the tone gods!!!

[@anhthiensaigon]

maybe some guy at EHX

[@bowdenmcallister993]

It could be a guy from ehx but there's no way to tell tbh

[@anhthiensaigon]

i was joking :) EHX was like a great inspiration for GFI System as they did include Mike Matthews 'the legend' on their website. But tbh this pedal can replace a good chunk of EHX , so it's funny to imagine EHX guys being disappointed haha

[@bowdenmcallister993]

Lol I see now 😂

[@meulia]

OMG. is this a pedal or musical instrument?

[@fedboy21]

This is INDONESIAN made.....what do you guys American tought of it? Since u guys seems to underestimate the asian made products...i dont means to flaming, just wanna know ur opinion 🍻🍻🍻....is it on par with the big brand?? Thnx

[@teriakamoto]

I'm here to have fun and learn about what pedals are capable of. I think you are looking for the Rush Limbaugh page. The pedal is great. It's all about quality control. We all want to buy products that are manufactured in our homelands. Labor in the U.S.A. make a products price skyrocket and using Gibson Guitars as an example, there is no guarantee of quality. It's a what have you done for me lately world my friend. Buyer beware and whatever does the best at what it does and exceeds standards, it's game on. Summation: Great pedal, sign me up.Peace-

[@MrSigitar]

I have the Specular Tempus and it can easily keep up with Strymon & Co. I'm sure that will be the case at Synesthesia too. If it is not even a game changer.

[@accurtis2763]

Indonesia is fine by me and so is this.

[@Souldoubtrocks]

I believe most of the pedals who blazed the trails were Asian made. Nothing wrong with that. But I drive a Toyota Tundra too so I might be a little biased.

[@skeletonmodel]

I understand your pride, but to talk about underestimated asian made products, when we literally have had 40 years of asian domination on the pedal market seems a little off haha

[@LPetty-wz9gn]

Pp

[@patrickrosington1174]

Sounds pretty bad. Quality over quantity
