Page 4: Introduction
After years of work by myself and my extraordinary team of engineers, we are delighted to introduce our new generation of pedalboard switching systems – TheGigRig G3 and G3 Atom. We started from scratch and designed G3 from the ground up, obsessively testing and retesting every aspect of its design to ensure we delivered the most robust, fully featured, tonally transparent switching system in the world. -

Return. CONNECTING STEREO EFFECTS If you want to use stereo effects with the G3 Atom, you can pair two mono loops together into a single stereo loop. G3 Atoms’ loops are paired as follows: Each of G3 Atoms’ loops can be configured into stereo loops using TRS to Dual Mono connectors. - Page 10 FX LOOP sits, between the preamp and power amp. a. First select a G3 Atom loop to connect with your amps FX loop. In the diagram above, loops 1-2 are placed before the pre-amp, loop 3 contains the preamp and loops 4-6 are placed inside the FX loop (note - any loop can be selected).

Repeat for each footswitch, as necessary. d. You can now switch between your programmed presets. There are 8 standard pre-sets plus up to 8 hidden presets in each of G3 Atom’s 99 banks. 4.2 STOMP BOX MODE STOMPBOX MODE allows you to add any function or loop(s) on top of a G3 Atom preset. - Page 12 You can create as many Stompbox Mode presets as you like. There are 3 Stompbox modes in the G3 Atom; Standard, Sticky and Flash. Standard is the default setting, to select either of the other two modes you will need to enter the DEEP EDIT MENU, scroll down to STOMPBOX, and select the stompbox mode you want BEFORE you create your stompbox mode preset.

Parallel, Wet Dry, and even send different effects to different amplifiers. The G3 Atom allows you to flip the phase of the parallel signal chain. This is important for resolving phase cancellation between the two signal paths. If the effect is out of phase you will hear a cancellation/reduction of frequency/volume. - Page 19 Now select Parallel End, then select before Loop 6. d. Select Parallel Loops then engage Loop 2. e. Now use the Phase setting to correct any phase cancellation issue between loop 2 and loop 3. THE GIGRIG G3 ATOM USER MANUAL...
- Page 20 This is basically the same as your Wet/ Dry rig, where you do not have a join after you split the signal. Any stereo effects that you add from this will be added into the signal path, keeping the signal path separate. It’s important that the effect be true stereo with LEFT and RIGHT inputs.
