Input Meters
These are peak meters showing the current
input level. The meter range is: 0, -3, -6, -12, -
18, -24, -40 dB.
To set the correct input level:
• Select the “loudest” sound – i.e., the sound
containing the most dynamic content on the
equipment you are feeding G-Major 2 with,
e.g. your preamp. This will probably be a
clean sound.
• Adjust the input level on G-Major 2 so that
the -3 dB LED flashes frequently and the -0
dB LED flashes only at the very highest
levels.
Input Overload LEDs
The OVERLOAD LEDs light up in two
situations:
Either the input level is too hot and therefore
overloading the input stage, or there is an
internal DSP overflow. Reduce either the output
of the device feeding G-Major 2 or reduce the
input gain on G-Major 2 using the IN LEVEL
knob.
The Tuner
G-Major 2 is equipped with a tuner, which is
always active. When both horizontal arrows are
lit, the played string is in tune.
The Matrix
G-Major 2 gives you four different options for
routing its effect blocks: Serial, Serial 2, Semi
Parallel and Parallel. The Matrix indicates which
of the three routings is currently being used.
Serial Serial 2
Semi Parallel Parallel
