UTILITY
In the Utility display, you can choose between Config.

Config.
User Interaction
In the config. display you can set up a number of global
parameters for the G-Force such as memory protect, backup of
the User bank, etc.
Display Viewing Angle
Adjust for best contrast of the LCD display.
Parameter dial direction
FWD - UP/DOWN: Select what direction the parameter wheel
should move the display cursor.
Preset Change
Effect mute On
When set to on, the G-Force will mute the sound for a very short
moment while changing the preset. With this feature you can
avoid any kind of artifacts when changing presets.
Effect mute Off
When effect mute is set to off the G-Force will bypass the effect
blocks according to the Mute mode set in each block, while
changing preset.
Example: Preset 1 contains a Delay. The Mute mode of the Delay
is set to “FX Input”. Since “FX Input” will keep the dry signal at
the level set by the Mix parameter of the block, this preset will
do the same. (The; Mute mode is explained in the “Blocks “
chapter).
To avoid level jumps at preset change, you must carefully
consider the Mute mode of each block. “Mix 0%” will take the
direct signal level up to 100% at the moment of the preset
change. “FX In/Out” will keep the direct signal level set by the
Mix parameter in each block and “Input/Output” will mute the
direct signal at preset change.
Extern Modifier input
This function sets how externally controlled parameters should
react at preset change.
Reset - Will preset the controlled parameter to the value stored in
the preset. At the first movement of the External controller, the
parameter will be captured.
Preserve - Will preserve the value of the external controller,
meaning that the controlled parameter will start this value.
Example: You are about to load a preset with an external
expression pedal controlling the Delay mix parameter. The Delay
mix parameter is stored at 50%. Now you load this preset. If you
selected “Reset” in the Ext. modifier input, the Delay mix will be
reset to the preset value=50%
If you selected “Preserve” in the Ext. modifier input, the Delay
mix will preserve the pedal value=100%.
Environment
Pedal Type
Switches between momentary and alternating. This parameter
should be set to alternating if you are using an expression pedal.
