Note!

The analog Input and Output connectors
on the G•Major are balanced 1/4” jacks.
Optimal connection to balanced equipment
is achieved using balanced cables.
However most guitar equipment is NOT
balanced and you will generally have no
problems using standard mono-to-mono
cables as illustrated below.
