MIDI/UTIL
FX Mute
Range: Hard/Soft
This parameter determines how Delay and
Reverb effects should be handled at preset
changes.
Hard
: Effects are muted at preset
change.
Soft : Delays will “spill over” and
Reverbs are smoothly glided to
the setting in the preset you
access.
View Angle
Adjusts the LCD display backlight for better
viewing comfort.
The Tuner
The Tuner is always on, and displayed in the
LCD display.
The following parameters are set in the
Utility.
• Press MIDI/UTIL to access the menu.
• Use the CONTROL PARAMETER wheel to
select parameter.
• Use the EDIT wheel to set values.
Tuner Mode
Sets the mode of the Tuner. Choose between
two modes:
Fine Tune
Maximum accuracy. Use this mode when fine-
tuning your guitar.
Coarse
Slightly less accurate mode, allowing for fast
results in a live situation.
Tuner Range
Sets the range of the Tuner. Select between
Bass, 7-string Guitar and Guitar (6 string). The
accuracy of the Tuner is dependent on this
Tuner range, and it is therefore important to set
this parameter according to the instrument you
desire to tune.
Tuner Frequency
You can set the master tuning reference in the
Utility menu. The range is from 420 Hertz to
460 Hertz. Standard tuning is 440Hz but often
when playing with classical instruments
frequencies from 438 to 442Hz are used as
tuning reference.
Tuner Mute
It is often a good idea to mute the Output of
your G•Major when tuning your guitar. You can
setup either a MIDI pedal sending a MIDI CC or
a momentary or alternating switch or even an
Expression pedal to control the mute function.
This is set up in the Mod section.
Example
Setting up the G•Major to mute for tuning when
receiving a MIDI Control Change from your
MIDI pedal.
• Connect your MIDI pedal to the G•Major.
• Press MOD and select the Tuner Mute
parameter using the PARAMETER wheel in
the Control section.
• Press ENTER to set the G•Major in “Learn”
mode.
• Press the Control Change button on the MIDI
pedal you would like to react as “Tuner
Mute”.
That’s it - whenever you press this button in the
future you will be able to tune without disturbing
your fellow musicians.
The G•Major Tuner and the G•Minor Pedal
If using the optional TC Electronic G•Minor
Pedal the Tuner is displayed in the pedal as
well.
The Output Mute function for silent tuning is of
course also accessible via the optional G•Minor
pedal.
The Send Tuner parameter in the Utility
menu MUST be set to “On” to feed tuner
information to a G•Minor pedal.
