GigRig G3 ATOM / ATOM S Manual

Introduction

We are delighted to introduce TheGigRig G3 ATOM/ ATOM S pedalboard switching system. The G3S ATOM functions in the same way as the original ATOM with the addition of OLED screens to display preset names next to the footswitches, with the exception of footswitches 1& 8. Preset names for these footswitches can be seen on the main display.

The new software also enables you to sync your ATOM S to our web editor for easy MIDI editing and preset naming. Head to thegigrig.com for more details.

Connections

1. Connect your effects to the back panel of ATOM/S, SEND from ATOM/S to the FX Pedal Input and from your FX Pedal OUTPUT to ATOM/S Loop Return.
2. Connect your amp(s), PLEASE NOTE if you are only using one amplifier you MUST use OUT1 as this is your earth/ground. Connect to your second amplifier or channel/DAW using OUT2 as this is isolated and phase reversible.
3. Connect your tuner to the TUNER/AUX output. Connect any MIDI pedals and REMOTE SWITCHES you want to use.
4. Connect your power to ATOM/S. We recommend using TheGigRig Generator, supplied with your ATOM/S.

Programming

1. Choose the preset that you wish to programme by pressing a PRESET FOOTSWITCH. It will light up and the corresponding number will also appear on the LCD screen.
2. Select the EFFECTS LOOPS and CONTROL FUNCTIONS you wish to use with that preset.
3. Repeat for the other presets you wish to programme. There is no store button. The Atom/S remembers each pressed button and automatically saves after each step.

StompBox Mode

This enables you to add any loop or combination of loops and CONTROL FUNCTIONS on top of any standard PRESET. This enables build sounds on the fly giving you the ultimate flexibility.

1. Choose the PRESET you want to turn into a STOMPBOX MODE preset, i.e. using PRESET 7.
   
2. Select the LOOP(s) you want to turn on. In this example, a delay that is in LOOP 6
3. Now make sure everything else is turned off, including OUTPUTS and PHASE OUT 2.
   
4. Now press the STOMPBOX MODE button. A small yellow light will turn on next to the main preset light.

This means this preset is now set up in STOMPBOX mode.

Preset 7 is now in STOMPBOX MODE and will add the delay in LOOP 6, ON TOP of any other preset.

You can have as many STOMPBOX MODE presets as you like. In the STANDARD setting, all stompbox mode presets will clear when you press any normal preset, but you can set this to stay on in the DEEP EDIT MENU where you can also set your stompbox preset up in momentary.

Navigating Deep Edit Menu
