Introduction
After you have experimented with G-Major 2 for
a while and maybe programmed a few presets,
you are probably anxious to start controlling the
unit from your MIDI board and expression
pedals.
If you are new to the “world of 19 inch
wonders”, this section may startle you at first.
But once you get a grip of the basics, you will
see how easy it is to gain full control of G-Major
2 and appreciate these possibilities. As
described below, we have even implemented a
“Learn” function that makes setting up external
control of various parameters very easy.
The MOD Menu
First, let’s take a look at the parameters in the
MOD menu – then let’s see how they should be
set up.
Parameters in the MOD menu:
Mod 1 to 4
The four Modifiers are interfaces between
external controlling devices (such as an
expression pedal) and specific effect
parameters (e.g. Delay Time, Vibrato Speed
etc.). To learn more about setting up Modifiers
1 to 4, please refer to page 21.
Bypass All
Used to remote control the overall Bypass
function of G-Major 2.
Tuner Mute
Use this setting to mute the outputs of G-Major
2 while tuning your guitar.
Global In Level *
Use this setting to remote control the Global In
level.
Preset Out Level *
Use this setting to remote control the Preset
Out level. With this parameter you can boost a
preset to solo level.
PresetBoost
This is an excellent feature allowing you to
boost any preset for fills etc. You can boost the
preset from its current preset level (as set in the
Levels All menu) to 0 dB by using any MIDI CC
message or a pedal connected to the PEDAL
input of G-Major 2. A MIDI CC value above 64
will set the current preset to 0 dB. A MIDI CC
value below 64 will set the current preset back
to the preset level.
When another preset is recalled, the
PresetBoost controller is reset (i.e., a value
below 64 is sent out). This will allow for an
update of the LED status on your foot controller
(given that the MIDI Out jack of G-Major 2 is
connected to the MIDI In jack on your foot
controller). Please note that if the Preset Level
parameter in the Levels All menu is already set
to 0 dB, boosting the signal will not be possible.
For further instructions on how to set up the
PresetBoost function, please refer to the
example on page 24.
Global Out Level *

Out level.
