Block Diagram Audio enters the G Bus through the input amplifier, which converts the signal from balanced to unbalanced. It then splits to three places: the mix circuit, the rest of the audio path, and the sidechain (SC). In the mix circuit, the output from the balanced input is summed with the output from the audio VCA. The following switch selects between the output from the VCA (default) and the output of the mix circuit.

As with any electronic device, operating the G Bus safely requires some common sense and respect for the dangers of electrical power. Treat your G Bus like a hair dryer. Don’t turn it on when it’s wet, only clean it with a dry cloth, and if you spill a liquid on it unplug it immediately and don’t turn it back on until it’s been repaired by a tech.
