Dear Customer,
Congratulations for choosing our G LAB product!
Guitar System Controller (GSC) is the programmable switching device of effects' loops (looper), the amp's
switcher by footswitch input and the MIDI devices' controller in one. By pressing just a single footswitch
(called preset) it enables:
– to activate selected effects (connected to LOOP1 up to LOOP6 loops),
– to set the amp channel (or the pre-amp one) and other amp's functions controlled by its footswitch
input,
– to set by Program Change command the MIDI device's program No. of work (at three MIDI devices
e.g. effects' processors).
The presets are stored in 10 banks. Depending on the method of changing the banks there are available
eight or ten presets in each bank. Controller posses presets programming function and presets and banks
copying functions what enables quick "organising" of the presets in the banks. The GSC enables also to
assign to its footswitches following functions instead of presets:
– to switch on/off the loop (loop modifier),
– to set the amp settings function (e.g. selecting a channel),
– to select the program No. (or numbers) of MIDI device (devices).
To avoid the incidental changing of the presets' settings the controller is equipped with the memory access lock.
There are available two versions of the controller with different footswitches. The GSC-3 model posses metal
footswitches with backligthed descriptions and the GSC-2 model posses silent, backlighted footswitches.
Basic characteristics:
– true passive signal path (except buffer),
– true bypassed (by relay), high impedance input buffer,
– TUNER output with the silent tuning function based on very high impedance circuit (no influence on
a guitar signal),
– six TRUE BYPASS loops for connecting effects (using electro-mechanical relays),
– six 9V DC outputs (for supplying effects) in two separated sections (500mA each),
– 2 outputs (2 lines each, latching type) for controlling the amp through its footswitch input,
– MIDI output for controlling MIDI devices by Program Change and Control Change commands,
– AUX connector for connecting extension modules,
– USB connector for connecting to a PC, enabling downloading, editing and saving presets and
settings, also firmware upgrades,
– two modes of bank selection (by BANK UP / BANK DOWN footswitches or by pressing and holding
presets' footswitches) and an option "one bank mode",
– input for connecting a wah-wah effect pad (wah-pad) to control the system by placing the foot on
the wah-wah,
– external power supply with 4 meters long and flexible cable
