  • Page 2 GLOSSARY • INPUT MONO/STEREO: If your INPUT to the Wetter Box is Mono, set the switch to MONO. If your signal path is stereo (using a TRS cable), set to STEREO. • MAIN INPUT: Connect your guitar here (if using STEREO, use a TRS Cable).
  • Page 3 This is how the Wetter Box works: 1. The signal enters the Wetter Box via the main INPUT 2. The signal is then split into 2 separate signals 3. These two signals are sent to effects loops A and B 4.
  • Page 4 2. Connect a pedal (in this case an analog delay) to LOOP B of the Wetter 3. When the MIX CONTROL on the Wetter Box is switched to A you’ll hear only your direct signal. With the MIX CONTROL switched to B you’ll hear the sound from your effects pedal 4.
  • Page 5 1. Start with the pedals turned off (so they are in their bypass state) 2. Turn the Wetter Box ON by pressing the FOOTSWITCH (Blue LED) 3. Turn the Wetter Box MIX CONTROL to “A”, so LOOP A is 100%, and LOOP B is 0% 4.
  • Page 6 Phase Loop B On the side of the Wetter Box you’ll see a push button PHASE LOOP B. When you mix two signals together ‘in phase’ they combine and when you mix them ‘out of phase’ they cancel each other out. No matter where you are in the sweep between LOOP A and LOOP B, both signals - as long as they’re in phase - will always equal 100%.
  • Page 7 Connecting the Wetter Box to your Amps FX Loop 1. Connect the SEND from the amps FX loop to the IN of the Wetter Box 2. Connect the OUTPUT of the Wetter Box to the FX RETURN of your amp For maximum functionality from your amps FX loop, try a delay pedal set to 100% wet effect (Kill Dry) and mix that on top of your pre-amp tone.
  • Page 8 TRS Jack (of Y-cable) to Loop B Return Stereo Input to Wetter Box You can also feed the Wetter Box with a true stereo signal using a TRS to Dual Mono connector. In this scenario we are feeding the INPUT of the Wetter Box with a stereo signal from a stereo chorus.
  • Page 9 Wetter Box to bypass state To revert, simply repeat Using Delay/Echo Trails - MONO Here’s an example of using the Wetter Box to get delay trails in a MONO setup. • Turn Trails mode on (red LED) & push IN the MIX mode button •...
  • Page 10 A Tip on Powering your Wetter Box Under the Phase and WET/MIX pushbuttons is the 9V, 2.1mm centre neg DC input. The Wetter Box will need a supply capable of delivering 185mA to operate properly. If your current power supply doesn’t have this capability, we suggest either purchasing the optional Wetter Box power supply from the website or checking out TheGigRig Modular power solutions.
  • Page 11 Wetter Box loop is selected, you can blend between your long and short delay in real time Don't forget, the Wetter Box is stereo so you can integrate it into the G2’s stereo loops and blend stereo reverbs and delays in parallel.
  • Page 12 In no event will The GigRig be liable for more than the amount of the purchase price, nor to exceed the current retail price of the product.
