Other Important Issues
Regarding Setups
The following is a list of other important issues you
should take care of when setting up your system. Please
refer to the relevant sections of this manual. Use the
Table of Contents (page 3) for directions.
Use correct cables for …
-
Loops 1 to 4
(Quality mono jack/jack cables)
- the Insert loop
(Quality jack/jack cables – use balanced cables if
they are longer than 1 meter)
- Expression pedals
(Mono or stereo, - depending on the type of
expression pedal used).
Calibrate your expression pedals
Expression pedals must be calibrated for best
performance.
Use the Locking functions to protect settings
•
Lock the Routing type if you only need to use one
routing.
• Lock the Insert loops if you have a pre-amp
connected in that loop and wish to use the pre-amp in
all presets.
• Lock the EQ section if you use the same EQ in all
presets (i.e., as a “master EQ”).
• Lock the Boost level to have the exact same boost
level in all presets.
• Lock Relays to keep same Relay positions on all
presets.
All Locking functions are located in the Utility menu.
Make good use of the Boost feature
You can set a boost level as part of each preset and
activate it using the BOOST switch. Per default, the
boost is set to +6dB on all factory presets, but you can
boost to as much as 10dB. You will enjoy this feature
whenever you just want a little extra power for certain
phrases and don’t want to create a new preset with a
different level.
Notice that the “Boost Max” parameter found in the
Levels menu limits the available amount of boost.
Get the most out of your amp(s)
using switch options
You can switch channels on your amp/pre-amp using the
four relays on the two stereo jack connectors on the G-
System.
To set up Relay switching, press EDIT, turn PAGE to
select RELAYS and press ENTER.
Read the section on Relays for detailed information.
Input Select parameter
The GFX01 has two Instrument inputs: one on the front
and one on the rear. You have to tell the G-System to
which connector you have connected your guitar.
This is set up using the Input Select parameter, which is
located in the Global Levels menu. The options are
“Front” and “Rear”.
