THE ADVANCED SWITCHING SYSTEM
Then choose if you want to re-join the signal or not. If you want to re-join, select the loop that you want
to join after. If not, the standard signal will continue along to output 1 and the parallel signal will
continue along to output 2.
Next select the loops you want to add to your parallel signal. Remember that you have made a second
signal path, so you need to tell G3 what affects loops you want to send to your parallel signal path.
Please note that you are assigning loops to your parallel signal path here but you will still need to add
them to the preset by pressing/selecting the effects loops on the top panel when you exit deep edit
mode.
Here are some examples:
EXAMPLE 1 - PUTTING AN OVERDRIVE AND DISTORTION IN PARALLEL
This is a really great way to explore some creative and unique gain tones. It is very different from
connecting them in series. Say your OverDrive is in loop 2 and our Distortion is in loop 3. You want to
put your Distortion in parallel without Overdrive, so you split before loop 2 and re-join after loop 3. Now
try flipping the phase and you will hear in one direction; it will sound full and in the other direction it
will sound thin, the 'full' sound means that they are in phase and the frequencies are not cancelling
each other out. Generally, this is a more appealing sound.
EXAMPLE 2 - WET / DRY
I've always loved the sound of a wet dry rig where you have all of your gain tones going to both
amplifiers but your delays and reverbs only being sent to 1 amplifier, it sounds massive.
