10. It will switch off all mix inputs and trails functions to the original factory defaults. No other
settings or patch parameters are changed or lost.
Hold down 12 at power on - This function will toggle foot switch midi 'through' on and off.
In the default mode a midi in signal will activate a foot switch and then the foot switch will send
its program change command to the midi out.
In some configurations for example when two G2 systems are connected together midi through
needs to be switched off.
Note this midi through is filtered; only foot switch program changes will go through to the midi
out. In this mode pressing a foot switch with your foot will still send a midi output
Software
G2 uses TheGigRig advanced pedalboard operating system, PBOSXX1 which remembers each
and every button you press on each and every one of the 30 patches. It also remembers each
and every pre-gain and post-gain volume setting for all 30 of these patches and much more.
To make sure you can't go wrong it also stores all your settings for over 40 years, even with the
power switched off!
Designed using the same techniques as aircraft software, for freeze free reliable operation, it
makes sure you don't lose your settings. Even if the power is lost in the middle of changing a
patch it will remember your last action.
It also watches your settings and if you try to do something that would be confusing or just
wrong, it won't let you progress.
Designed for simplicity on the surface and complex functions underneath; all you need are a
couple of facts and you are ready to go.
Fact 1 - You don't need to look for a save button - there isn't one. Everything is saved as you
go along.
Fact 2 - If a button does not respond, you need to look at the Stomp Light. To edit a patch you
must exit stomp mode. Exit stomp mode by turning off the yellow stomp light and then press the
foot switch you want to edit. After editing you can turn the stomp light back on again.
Factory Restore
Your G2 can be returned to its factory settings at any time. All the memories and therefore all
your patch settings will be lost. Following the instructions below will completely remove all your
patch and volume setting from all corners of the G2s memory.
THIS PROCEDURE WILL CLEAR ALL STORED SETTINGS
To clear the G2 and return the unit to its factory defaults, remove the power then hold down foot
switch 2 whilst you reconnect the power. The G2 will not power on as normal, instead it will flash
TheGigRig Logo. You can still change your mind and abort this total reset by removing the
power plug again; however, if you are absolutely certain you want to lose all your settings and
