Control Functions
TheGigRig Pro-8’s unique control functions make it both powerful and flexible.
Each of the 8 pre-sets has a row of four mini switches, which operate the control
functions.
These are:
1.
Post Volume
2.
Remote Switch 1
3.
Output 1 Mute
4.
Output 2 Mute
Let’s go through them one at a time:
1.
Post Volume.
This is a class 'A' Volume controlled wide band amplifier on the output of TheGigRig
Pro-8.
It was designed not to mess with your tone and is of the highest audio quality.
The circuit for this post effects amplifier is on its very own true bypass relay so you
must turn on switch 1 for the Post Vol pot to have any effect. (When we say true
bypass, we mean true bypass).
This volume control can cut your output by 1/5th or boost it by X3.
Use the small volume pot next to the control switches to control the level.
This is perfect for boosting solo sounds or compensating for the drop of output in
some old effects pedals. More than this it also compensates for loss of tone when
using long leads to your amplifier.
Furthermore, as it is ‘post’ effects loop it won’t mess with the sound of your effects.
2. Remote switch.
If you use an amplifier with built in effects such as reverb or vibrato or an amp with
two channels, then this remote switch is priceless. The amp can now be controlled
by TheGigRig Pro-8.
Instead of plugging an extra footswitch into the back of your amp, simply plug the
footswitch out from your amp into the remote switch on TheGigRig Pro-8.
Normally closed refers to the polarity of the switch in default position (off or bypass).
E.g. If you would like to use the remote switch to control the reverb in your amp,
simply plug a lead from the footswitch out of your amp and into the remote switch.
With a channel-changing amp, you can plug the footswitch from your amp to the
remote switch in TheGigRig Pro-8.
3. & 4:
Output 1 & 2 Mute.
On the far left hand side of TheGigRig Pro-8 you will see two outputs.
Not surprisingly, these are called out 1 main and out 2 isolated.
