HOW TO
Creating an Autopanning Delay via Modifiers
If you want the Delays to autopan you could of course, place the
Pan/Tremolo block after the Delay, but you can also use one of
the extra LFO's that are in the Modifier Matrix.
- Press the Mod key to select the Matrix.
- Connect the LFO1 output 1 to Delay Pan 1 and Pan 2
by pressing the Enter key.
- Press > Arrow right key to enter the Modifiers display,
scroll down to LFO1 and press Enter to dive into the
settings of the LFO1.
- Set the Speed, Depth, Curve etc. of LFO1 and listen
to your Delay Panning.
Right now the two Delays are panning left and right together, but
it would be nice if they panned opposite of each other.
- Press Exit to leave the LFO edit display.
- Press the left < Arrow key to get back to the Matrix
display.
- Scroll down to the connection between LFO1 and
Delay Pan1 and press Enter to access the link display.
- Change Low input to 100%, and High Input to 0%.
Your delays are now panning opposite of each other.
How to set up an Expression pedal
The G-Force has several control possibilities that can make your
presets a lot more flexible and interesting. These functions can be
realtime controlled by more than eight external pedals or MIDI
controllers.
Connecting
Your Expression pedal can be connected in two ways, either
directly to the "External control" jack on the back panel of the G-
Force, or via a MIDI board.
How to calibrate and choose Pedal type
The G-Force can be controlled by various types of pedals. The
type of pedal that you are using is set up in the Utility display, by
the "Pedal type" parameter. When you are using Expression
pedals, you should select "Alternating".
When you connect your expression pedal to the "External
control" jack, you should make sure that the G-Force is calibrated
for that particular pedal. That is done in the Utility display:
- Press Utility.
- Scroll down to "Pedal calibration", using the
Parameter wheel.

- Press Enter and follow the instructions in the display.
You have now calibrated your expression pedal, and are ready to
setup the function of it.
The function of the Pedal
The basic idea is that your pedal should be connected to one of
the eight virtual handles called Ext1-8. That is done in the I/O
Setup, Control display:
- Press the I/O Setup key.
- Press the > Arrow right key to select the Control
display.
- Scroll down to "Ext1" using the Parameter wheel.
- Press Enter to activate the Learn function and move
your pedal to get it detected.
Your pedal should now be detected whether using the 1/4" jack
on the back panel of the G-Force, or a MIDI controller.
The pedal could also control the Main volume, the overall
bypass, the Tuner, the Tempo or one of the other seven external
controllers.
Now that you have your pedal setup for Ext1, we will move on to
getting it connected to a parameter:
- Recall ROM preset #17 "Stereo Harmony C-maj".
That is a preset that will add a third, and a fifth to
your lead play as long as you stay in C-major.
- Press the Mod key to access the Modifier Matrix.
- Scroll horizontal until you see Ext1 in the top line of
the display, using the Value wheel.
- Scroll vertically using the Parameter wheel until the
cursor is placed on the line where Pitch "In level" and
"Ext1" meet.
- Press Enter to connect the two parameters.
You now have your pedal connected to the In level of the Pitcher,
which means that you can control the amount of pitch with your
foot. The function of the pedal is stored with the preset.
A lot of the ROM presets are setup for various pedal functions,
they are all using Ext1 as Modifier.
How to set up my MIDI board
The G-Force is capable of using a lot of the existing boards on
the market for standard program change. Here is what you do to
set your board up with the G-Force:
- Connect your board to the MIDI In socket on the
back panel of the G-Force.
- Press the I/O Setup key.
- Use the < > Arrow keys to select the MIDI display.
- Set the "Basic channel" to the same as your MIDI
