Phase; D) Remote Switches - GigRig G2 User Manual

means you can connect your effects to your amp's FX loop WITHOUT having to give up one of
your G2 effects loops.
The POST GAIN feature works exactly the same as the PRE GAIN feature. Simply press the POST
GAIN button to turn it on then use the UP and DOWN arrows to select the level.
To find UNITY gain (where the output level is the same as the input level) simply press and hold
the PRE GAIN ON button for 3 seconds and the level will automatically be set to unity.

d) REMOTE SWITCHES

G2 will allow you to remotely switch pretty much anything that uses a
latching switch such as amplifier channels and reverb, remote switching
effects, and of course our Remote LOOPY2's. G2 boasts 4 latching
remote switches using 2 ¼" TRS sockets. Simply insert the ¼" TRS (TIP,
RING, SLEEVE) cables into the REMOTE SWITCHES connections on the
back panel of G2, then connect that to your amp and/or device that you
want to switch remotely.
Once the connections are made simply press the REMOTE SWITCH button(s) on G2's front panel
that you want to turn on with your current preset and you're done!
e) OUTPUTS 1&2
If you run a dual amp or stereo rig you'll be very pleased to know that G2 has 2 independent
switchable outputs. These outputs solve all the problems associated with multi amp rigs being
mainly earth/ground loops and phase problems. Out2 uses a high quality audio transformer and
some very special TGR circuitry to ensure that there will be no earth loops between the two
amps, and using the PHASE button you'll be able to ensure your 2 amps are always IN PHASE.
YOU MUST HAVE OUT 1 CONNECTED
have it switched on, but it needs to be connected to your amp with a good path to ground/earth.
OUT 2 is the ISOLATED output. This output is floating and will ensure that with two amps
connected OUT 1 gives you your path to earth/ground and OUT 2 gives you an isolated output.
With the outputs connected to your 2 amps simply press the OUT1 and OUT2 buttons and set
up the combination of amps you want per sound.
f) PHASE
The PHASE button flips the phase on OUT 2 so no matter what two amplifiers you're plugged
into, you can insure that they'll always be in phase.
When you're talking about phase in this context it is a relative term. What it means is that if you
have two amplifiers working together you want the speakers to be moving in the same direction,
i.e. when the speaker in one amp pushes forward, you want the other amplifiers' speaker to do
the same. When one amps' speaker pushes forward and the other amps' speaker pulls back,
this means that the amps are OUT of phase. Certain frequencies get cancelled out and can leave
the tone sounding very thin. Checking if the two amps are in phase is easy. Simply turn them up
to an equal level, the toggle the PHASE button. One setting they will sound rich and full, the
other setting they'll sound thin. Thin is out of phase, full is in phase.
