CONNECTIONS
All of G3 Atom
s’
connections are made via the back panel.
3.1. INPUT
- Connect your guitar here. Seems obvious, but this is the input.
3.2. TUNER/ AUX OUT
–
Connect your tuner here so you can tune silently on stage. The TUNER/AUX Send
includes a TRS Return, so effectively you can use it as another effects loop.
3.3. EFFECTS LOOPS
- There are 6 mono effects loops in G3 Atom that can be configured in various different
ways. For example, you can pair them for stereo effects, connect them to your amplifi
er’s
effects loop (four
cable method), connect your volume pedal, re-order the effects loops or create a wet/dry set up. Loops can also
be configured in parallel or sent to different Outputs. Each loop on the G3 Atom has the capacity to become a
stereo loop by using a TRS connector.
3.4. OUTPUTS
- These two outputs are where we connect our amplifiers or audio interface.
IMPORTANT!
Output 1 is your EARTH/GROUND and MUST be connected. Output 2 is isolated with an audio
transformer to prevent earth loops when using two amps, so this is where you connect your second amp. If you
are only using one amp you MUST connect to Output 1.
3.5. REMOTE SWITCHES
–
The G3 Atom features four remote switches configured into two TRS remote
switch sockets which are programmable via the Deep Edit Menu. These can be used to change channels in your
amplifier, tap tempo control, to control a Remote Loopy, in fact, they can be used for anything that uses isolated
latching or momentary switches.
3.6. BANK REMOTE SWITCH
- Simply connect a momentary switch into the BANK input and you will be able
to control your G3 Atom banks remotely.
3.7. MIDI IN & OUT
- This is where you connect your MIDI in and MIDI out cables from G3 Atom to control your
MIDI effects. The connection here is a standard five pin din.
3.8. POWER
(9V DC) - G3 Atom uses a standard centre 9V DC input connection. G3 Atom operates around 650
mA, so it is important that your power supply can provide sufficient current. TheGigRig Generator power supply
is included with your G3 Atom.
3.9. EXPRESSION PEDALS
(EXP1 & EXP2) - G3 Atom has two expression pedal ports that use a TRS
connector. These can be used to send MIDI CC information, as well as being able to control G3
Atoms’
PRE
GAIN and POST GAIN levels. We recommend using The GigRig Wetterbox EXP Pedal, however, other EXP
pedals may be compatible. For further info, contact [email protected]
