MOD MENU

EQ On/Off

Use this setting to toggle the EQ of G-Major 2

on or off remotely (using an external controller).

* You will find that (depending on the

expression pedal type you are using),

different settings are required to achieve

different effects. Therefore, G-Major 2 allows

you to set dedicated response curves for

each of the level-related parameters in the

MOD menu.

These response curves are set by entering

minimum, medium and maximum values. You

can enter these values by first selecting the

parameter (e.g. Preset Out Level) and then

pressing ENTER.

For a more detailed explanation on how to

set a Modifier response curve, please refer to

the following page.

External Control

We will now take a look at how external

controllers can be assigned to G-Major 2

parameters in the MOD menu.

• Press MOD (in the Setup section) and select

a parameter using the UP/DOWN keys.

• For each parameter, you can configure how it

should be controlled. Use the ADJUST wheel

to select between the following options:

- Off

- Learn

- Pedal

- CC 1 to 128.

Off

“Off” means: This particular Modifier will not be

controlled externally at all.
Learn

This option makes setting up external

controllers a breeze.

• While “Learn” is selected, press ENTER. The

display will blink “>>>Learning<<<”, showing

that you are now in Learn mode.

• Now you must show G-Major 2 which of the

connected external devices you will use to

control this particular Modifier. Either send a

CC (by pressing one of your MIDI pedal’s CC

buttons), or move the connected Expression

pedal.

• “>>>Learning<<<” will stop blinking,

indicating that G-Major 2 has recognized

your external controller.

Pedal

When “Pedal” is selected, only the pedal

connected to the EXT. CONTROL jack on the

rear panel can control the Modifier.
CC 0-127

This is where you can directly specify which CC

number the Modifier should respond to.

The “natural choice” for switching

effect blocks on or off (or for muting

the Tuner) would be MIDI CCs

(Control Change messages) sent from

your MIDI pedal. The “natural choice”

for controlling any Level, Speed or

Pitch parameter would be using an

expression Pedal.
