Special Functions In Depth; Input Buffer - GigRig G2 User Manual

Special Functions in Depth

SF1- Continuous light show.
All switches are deactivated until power is removed and re applied.
SF2- Factory Settings Restore. WARNING you have now entered a mode where you can
lose all your patch settings! It's not too late yet; however, if you hold down 2 at power on then
you press and hold foot switch 3 for three seconds, all your user settings are lost and your G2
resets totally back to factory settings. If you enter this mode TheGigRig Logo will flash
continuously. Removing the power at this point will exit this mode and nothing will be lost. ☺
SF3- Stereo or Dual Mono function and Input Buffer. Out lights 1&2 will flash. Choose 1 for
dual mono function or 2 for stereo function. Set in Dual Mono it insures that both loops 9 & 10
will go through the POST GAIN amplifier and then to both outputs. In STEREO function when
using loops 9&10 only OUTPUT 1 will receive the POST GAIN amplifier. Factory preset is
stereo.

Input Buffer

This feature allows you to turn on an input buffer located at the input of G2, directly after the
guitar input. Ideal if you want all your pedals to see a low impedance input or if you are
connection your amps FX Loop to G2. This buffer is programmable PER BANK so if you want
to turn it on for all presets you'll need to repeat this process on all banks. In SF3 simply press
the AUX/TUNER OUT button. You'll know if the buffer is on because TheGigRIg Logo will have
a blue light in the middle. The input buffer is turned on for BANK 8 in factory settings so if you
want to try the buffer, set up your preset in BANK 8. You can of course turn off the buffer in
BANK 8 by simply repeating the SF3 process in BANK 8 and pressing the AUX/TUNER button.
SF4- Phase mode. (Global or Patch) this toggles the way the phase switch works.
In global mode the phase switch reverses the phase of output 2 with respect to output 1 no
matter what patch you have selected or weather Engage is selected (Ideal if you have a two
amp system).
In the more complex Patch mode the relative phase of output 2 can be selected for each of the
28 patches this is ideal if you have loops with none true phase pedals. Hold down foot switch 4
again at power on to toggle back to Global Phase mode.
These setting are memorized by your G2; it will remember everything you have set.
You can even move to Global mode without losing your patch mode settings.
SF5- Volume Insert Position. This is how you chose the location of the output amplifier volume
pedal insert and the mixer input (the default location is after loop 10). Note this insert is buffered
and can be used for any type of pedal or amplifier loop.
When foot switch five is held down and power is applied, all the blue loop lights will flash on and
off. Simply hold down the loop button you want the amplifier and loop send/return to follow. The
G2 will then go back to normal mode.
If you are using the output amplifier as a mixer; the mixer input (default 9 right) will also be
inserted in-between the specified loops.
