THE ADVANCED SWITCHING SYSTEM

   

 

THE GIGRIG G3 ATOM USER MANUAL 

 

2.4. PROGRAMMING 

1.

 

Choose the preset that you wish to programme by pressing a PRESET FOOTSWITCH. It will light up and 
the corresponding number will also appear on the LCD screen. 

2.

 

Select the EFFECTS LOOPS and CONTROL FUNCTIONS you wish to use with that preset.  

3.

 

Repeat for the other presets you wish to programme.  

4.

 

There is no store button. The G3 Atom remembers every time you press a button and automatically 
saves after each step. 

2.5. STOMPBOX MODE 

This enables you to add any LOOP or combination of LOOPS and CONTROL FUNCTIONS on top of any standard 
preset. This gives you the ability to create and build sounds on the fly without being tied to traditional presets.

 

1.

 

Choose the PRESET you want to turn into a STOMPBOX Mode preset, ie: using PRESET 6.  

2.

 

Select the LOOP(s) you want to turn on. In this example I want to add a delay that is in LOOP 6 

3.

 

Now make sure everything else is turned off, including OUTPUTS and PHASE OUT2. 

4.

 

Now press the STOMPBOX MODE button. A yellow LED will turn on next to the main preset 

LED.  
 

5.

 

Preset 7 is now in STOMPBOX Mode and will add the delay in LOOP 6, ON TOP of any other 

preset. 
 
 

You can add as many STOMPBOX MODE presets as you like. All Stompbox Mode presets will clear when you 
press any normal preset. This can, however, be changed in the DEEP EDIT MENU, by selecting either Sticky 
Stomp or Flash.
