TC Electronic G-System - Manual (Page 12)

Connections – Rackmount
As previously mentioned, the G-System can be
separated into the Control Board and the 19" unit called
GFX01. To detach the GFX01, simply unscrew the four
rack mounting screws.
The GFX01’s mounting screws are 6mm in
diameter. However, some rackmount units require
5mm screws. Use appropriate screws!
To ensure maximum stability, a blank 19" faceplate
must be mounted instead of the GFX01 after it
has been removed from the Control Board.
• Connect pedals and pre-amps in the same way as
described in the previous section for floormount
operation.
• Once separated, connect the GFX01 and the Control
Board using a long Cat 5 cable (not included).
• Connect the Guitar to “Input Instrument”.
• To avoid having to run long cables from your
expression pedals to your rack, the Control Board is
equipped with duplicates of the two Expression Pedal
connectors found on the GFX01.
Levels
Set your drive pedals and the pre-amp to “reasonable”
levels. Setting levels to maximum may cause internal
overload, resulting in clicks and unwanted digital
distortion.
When the red OVERLOAD LED on the INPUT meter
lights up, the signal is too hot.
Not Good Good Overload LED
Depending on how the Input gain is set on the
G-System, you may slightly have to adjust your
drive settings on pedals and pre-amp when these
are connected using the G-System loops.
