Page 11: Basic Programming
Everything is laid out in a simple, logical order to keep the experience as intuitive as possible. 4.1 PRESET PROGRAMMING Presets are at the heart of G3’s functionality. Whether you are controlling MIDI or adding Stompbox Mode, it all happens within a preset. - Page 12 It’s also incredibly useful with MIDI presets. For example, if you use a Strymon Timeline and you want to be able to engage the looper from G3, you can assign each footswitch to the TimeLine Looper CC number and use G3’s footswitches to instantly engage the looper functions.
- Page 13 Press the Stompbox enabled footswitch, then press Stompbox mode (yellow LED next to the footswitch will turn off). Then press the footswitch a second time so it is the only footswitch selected. Then you can programme the preset as normal. THE GIGRIG G3 USER MANUAL...

CC 32 = Preset, Number = Preset number (0~28) *Please note – every time you send a bank message to G3 it will load all the presets for that bank. We suggest that if you are loading songs remotely you only need to have a single preset that sends the bank/song CC message. -

THE ADVANCED SWITCHING SYSTEM With G3, you can reorder your effects loops in any order you like. To do so: a. Go to LOOP ORDER on the Deep Edit menu. b. Scroll right (4) and you will see Loops 1-12 which correspond to your effects loops. - Page 22 THE ADVANCED SWITCHING SYSTEM G3’s PARALLEL FUNCTION enables you to split your signal path in two, meaning you can set up effects in Pparallel, Wet Dry, and even send different effects to different amplifiers. G3 allows you to flip the phase of the parallel signal chain. This is important for resolving phase cancellation between the two signal paths.
- Page 23 Modulation, Delay and Reverb effects (forming the wet signal chain) to a second amplifier. To set up this Wet Dry signal path: a. Scroll down to Parallel and select Parallel Enable. b. Select Parallel Start and select before loop 4. THE GIGRIG G3 USER MANUAL...
