GigRig Quartermaster Manual

Introduction

The QMX is a true bypass looper that will help mantain your guitar signal by bypassing any unused effects. At the heart of the QuarterMaster QMX are True Bypass Loops, engaged by stepping on our own custom-designed stainless steel OptoKick footswitches.

True Bypass Loops

The QMX looper does not pass any guitar signal through unreliable mechanical foot switches.

When the status LED is off, the guitar signal is sent through a true bypass relay direct to the output.

When the footswitch is pressed, the Pedal(s) within the Send (SND) and Return (RTN) loop will be added to the signal path.

If a QMX loop is unused, it won't mute your signal.

Flip Flop Mode

There are two different modes within the QMX. On the left of each loop return you'll see a small push button. With the pushbutton left OUT your QMX will operate as a standard effects Looper. This mode is indicated with a BLUE LED. Loops will only disengage when the loop's footswitch is pressed a second time. Pushing the button IN will activate the 'FLIP/FLOP' mode. This is indicated with a RED LED. This enables you to, this enables you to FLIP/FLOP between any other footswitches also in this mode.

This means that you can engage another loop and turn off the previous loop, without having to push the first footswitch a second time.

Any footswitches in the normal mode (BLUE LED), will not be affected by FLIP/FLOP mode enabled footswitches.

Power Requirements

9v DC. Minimum of 50mA per loop required for correct operation.

Insufficient mA will result in loss of function. We recommend using The GigRig Generator/ Modular Power Supply System/ Gen-X-14.

Power requirements for each unit are:

QMX2: 9v/100mA

QMX8: 9v/400mA

QMX4: 9v/200mA

QMX6: 9v/300mA

QMX10: 9v/500mA

Tuner Return Jack

Tuner Return Jack
The jack included with your QuarterMaster is a short-circuited jack that you can use to turn a standard true bypass loop into a silent tuner send option. To do this, plug the send from the loop you wish to use as your silent tuner loop into the input of your tuner, and plug the jack into the return of the same loop. When you engage the footswitch for the loop, your signal will be sent to the input of the tuner, and the short circuit jack plug will silence the return signal.
