Congratulations for choosing our G LAB product! MIDI Guitar Controller (MGC) is the programmable switching device of effects’ loops (looper), the amp’s switcher and the MIDI devices’ controller in one for rack 19’ systems. MGC-6 can be controlled by any foot controller or other MIDI device sending the Program Change commands. -

Page 7: Signal's Path Diagram
Signal’s path diagram Guitar signal, thru very high impedance (>10 MΩ) tuner buffer and separating transformer, is transmitted to TUNER output. It enables using of the tuner during playing. Controller features a switchable (by relay), true bypass input buffer circuit. Buffer which’s input impedance is consistent with tube amps boost the guitar signal power (without the voltage gain). -
Page 8: Buffer, Loops (Loop 1 To Loop 6), Switch Outputs And Aux Outputs
Buffer, loops (LOOP 1 to LOOP 6), SWITCH outputs and AUX outputs In order to switch on or off the buffer, particular effect LOOPs, SWITCH outputs and AUX outputs press the button placed under the indicator signalising their state. Lighting lamp means: the buffer is switched on, the effect connected to the loop is switched on, output shorting state of the particular SWITCH and high level of AUX output. -
Page 9: Preset's Storing
In order to not to send for given preset the Control Change command set the no value. Preset’s storing After modifying the preset’s parameters the preset should be saved. Controller enables saving modified preset under the same preset number or under a different number. Procedure of saving under the same number is shown below In case of saving the preset under a different number it is needed to press SAVE button, select the preset number by using the UP and DOWN buttons or numeric keys and after press the ENTER button. -

Page 11: Programming Of The Channel Numbers For Midi Program Change 1, 2, 3
Programming of the channel numbers for MIDI Program Change 1, 2, 3 Next three positions in Setup defined as Co1, Co2, Co3 enable channel number programming successively for PRG CHG-1, PRG CHG-2, PRG CHG-3 commands. The available range is from 1 to 16. Displaying of the r letter with the channel number means that the number of this channel is already reserved (r) for other Program Change command. -
Page 12: Cc Controller's Number Programming
CC Controller’s number programming Controller’s No sent to the MIDI device is the same for all of the presets. The available range is from 0 to 127. MIDI OUTPUT mode programming MIDI OUTPUT of the controller can be switched on so-called Soft Thru mode. In this mode controller rewrite in unchanged state data from MIDI INPUT to MIDI OUTPUT. -
Page 13: Amp's Control Connecting
Amp’s control connecting The SW1 to SW4 outputs are used to control an amp by its footswitch input. Depending on the features of your amp they can be used for switching channels, switching on/off reverb or effects loop, BOOST function or other. -
Page 14: Aux A/B Switch Connection
6. For switching the loops serve the corresponding buttons of AUXILIARY SECTION (for AUX 1 buttons 1 and 2, for AUX 2 buttons 3 and 4, AUX 3 buttons 5 and 6 and for AUX 4 buttons 7 and 8). It is possible to connect four AUX 2xLOOPs to one MGC-6 maximally. -
