So how does it do that?
Let’s take a closer look at one of TheGigRig Pro-8’s 8 pre-sets.
Each of TheGigRig Pro-8’s effects loops are controlled by a
gold contact relays. This is a high quality switch that, when
activated will send your signal through the effects loop or
will bypass the loop completly.
These relays are inturn controlled by the mini switches on
each pre-set they are marked ‘Effects Loops’.
With the pre-set above effects loop 5 has been selected.
When you step on this pre-set, your guitar signal will travel from the guitar input
through effects loop 5
ONLY. Everything else is completeley bypassed.
The difference this makes to your tone is amazing. You get the shortest, purest signal
path possible. You can now switch in other effects loops to create your sound.
Presing a foot switch that has already been selected a second time will switch the
GigRig into true bypass.
Look at the F.A.Q’s section to see how to use the effects loops in TheGigRig Pro-8 in
combination with the effect loop in your amp.
If you use more than one guitar such as a spare for when you break a string or an
electro acoustic, you can plug these into the effects loops and control them with
TheGigRig Pro-8.
For example, an acoustic guitar could be plugged into effects loop 1 and switch in or
out using the GigRig. You can also use the isolated output 2 to send your acoustic
directly into the P.A. without introducing hum.
You can then programme a pre-set for the songs in which you use an acoustic.
Therefore, when you step on it, it will disconnect your main guitar, plugged into
‘guitar in’, and mute the output to your amplifier sending your acoustic straight to
the front of house system.
You can make TheGigRig Pro-8 as simple or as complicated as you like.
That’s the whole point. It’s entirley up to you.
