@@TheGigRigDaniel Only a matter of time before I contact Pedal Empire or order direct Daniel. Best and Be Safe.

Thanks James 🤓👍

That’s awesome mate, glad we could help 🤓👍

Cheers mate 🙏

Thanks so much Adam 🤓🙏

@@TheGigRigDaniel Thank you all at GigRig! I've been going back and forth amongst all the switchers and your company is pretty much the only one working with the consumer base, as well as giving tutorials. It's not unnoticed and greatly appreciated.

That’s way too kind, I’m not in the same league as those behemoths, but I do have an incredible team that make this possible. Cheers mate

Cheers Jimmy

Cheers C 🤓👍

Thanks so much!

Yay! Thank you!

then wait no longer my good man 🤓👍

Thanks Dave

AhC cheers mate, I’ll keep one warm for you 👍

Put down my deposit yesterday!!! So psyched!

Thanks Jason, really appreciate it 🤓👍

Thanks Corey 🙏

Hahahah

Ha! Cheers David 🤓👍

@@TheGigRigDaniel this might not be the place for such a question and if so no worries but here we go... You probably don’t recall but on a previous TPS VCQ I asked about a two board, two G2 set up configured as one “core board” and another for “add-ons” and you told me the best way to do that would probably be putting the secondary board’s G2 in one of the loops of the primary G2. Seems to me from everything I’ve seen on these videos and your website that with G3 the same thing is possible and it’s still the best way to do this. My main question though is whether the secondary G3’s loop presets can be controlled somehow from a preset on the primary G3? In other words when I change presets on the primary G3 can that “click” also change what is engaged on the secondary G3 or would I still need to “manually” select the secondary G3’s relevant preset and active loops as needed? Hope I’ve described that well enough to make sense?

Thanks David 🤓🙏

Nice 👍

cheers Martin

Hey Kristen, we’re excited for you to get it as well. Yes, you simply choose what footswitch you want to assign for your tuner, then select tuner from the menu. That’s it, now when you press that footswitch the built in tuner will activate. Another neat trick is to assign the built in tuner to a hidden preset, I have my first preset as a basic bypass tone. If I press that a second time it brings up s hidden preset which is where I have my tuner 🙏👍

Hi, do you mean program changes via PC message? Yes it does 🤓👍

You’re way too kind 🤓🙏

Hi Sam, all you need to do is pout each amps preamp into its own effects loop. You can then choose between preamps, run parallel for both preamps into stereo effects into both power amps

Yeah, that would be the 8 cable method, totally doable

@@TheGigRigDaniel how would i go about that?

Thanks so much! You can set up your stereo effects using parallel. Have a bank or banks that are stereo (no join in parallel) then copy and paste that bank then edit for mono (join after loop 12 in parallel) 👍

Nevermind I fixed it!!

@@Sorbzski99 it's been a while but if I remember correctly... I "jumped it" - kept it as stereo send and plugged a cable to the in and out of the side I wasn't using. I think I also noticed that the gig rig was swapping left and right channels for some reason and I had to plug in to the opposite side.

Ah mate, thank you so much 🤓🙏

yes, add a HumDinger and you have wet/dry/wet

Totally possible, just need to check on the four way split at the front. Needs to be fed from a low impedance source. We’re already doing a similar thing with the stereo trails so I’ll add this to the list 🤓👍

Ah, awesome! Thanks Robert 🤓🙏

@@TheGigRigDaniel Hi Dan. Got a question for you. I have the Jesse Davey Duellist, Hermida Audio Zendrive, Ceriatone Klon, Timmy and a King of Tone. Just wondering how you would stack these bad boys? I'm going in to Fender Super Reverb using a Strat, Tele and LP. I'm waiting on the Gigrig G3 so will be able to stack anyway possible but keen to hear others would use them and why? Thanks

Yeah, you just need 2 power amps to send the stereo output to 👍

Hi Kristen, I’ve been watching a few of your vids, I really dig you’re playing, awesome stuff! Brian is fantastic and will build you something really special. If you put the ML10 in a loop of G3 and control it with MIDI that will give you the best of all worlds. Use your most used effects in G3’s other loops so the ML10 is bypassed when you don’t need it, then activate the ML10 loop and send the MIDI message to activate it. Hope that helps 🤓🙏

@@TheGigRigDaniel Aw thank you so much for your kind words, Dan! Brian has been really kind so I'm definitely excited to be working with him! This sounds like it's going to be really cool! We're making it so that I can either do a mono rig for live or a stereo rig for studio so that's totally new for me, but it's going to be awesome once I understand it all lol!

Hi! Yes, G3 will help you put all that together in any sequence you like. Power station loop is so good as it is effectively after the driving power stage if your amp. 🤓👍

Sure would 👍

Sure, you can change the order, then sum the möbius outputs 👍

@@TheGigRigDaniel can this work with presets too? Meaning can one preset have the Mobius in stereo and another preset have it set to mono / pre dirt? Thanks!

On this board I’m using Evidence Audio SiS 🤓👍

Absolutely Manu 👍

@@TheGigRigDaniel thanks for your quick reply... I also wrote to the support page for more info about shipping to Belgium. Will go for more technical questions about using Boss TAE and 2 switchers because now I have 2 pedalboards... 1 with time effects in the loop of the TAE and 1 with pedals in front of the amp ...

@@TheGigRigDaniel where can i write to you about my intended use of the G3 please

Hey Brian, thank you SO much, so glad you’re happy. MIDI is a fantastic tool and G3 makes it so easy. Any questions just let us know 🤓🙏

Thanks so much David 🙏

If you’re using your amps fx loop the signal would go from the G3 loop send, into the volume pedal, out of the volume pedal, into the amps input, amp fx send, to the G3 loop return 🙏

@@TheGigRigDaniel Should I be doing that with G2 as well. At present my Volume is in #7 followed by the delays in #8,#9,#10.

Also if I have a couple pedals wired in stereo but then just run one amp do I have to unplug the stereo cables or change the pairings? You

Hi, sure thing, it’s a TRS loop, send is in the tip, return on the ring, so a TRS to two mini cables and you’re good to go 👍

@@TheGigRigDaniel Perfect, thank you!

Hi Joe, I have an internal loop on my KoT, it means I can swap the order of the sides and even use them in parallel 👍

@@TheGigRigDaniel Wow… that’s amazing Dan. Talk about a game changer!

Hi Joe, you can use any loop you like but I do recommend putting things in the order if most use, to simply cut down on the times you need to reorder the loops

@@TheGigRigDaniel killer. Thanks!!!!!

Hi Alvaro, yes, we incorporated the volume loop into the normal loops n G3, there are 12 loops in G3 as opposed to 10 in G2. Because of the routing options in G3 you can do a lot with a volume pedal in one of the loops from changing position in the signal path to being on one side of a parallel split and using it as a mix control 👍

@@TheGigRigDaniel Thank you for the wonderful reply, I'm very impressed with all of the options and add ons of the G3. Still trying to wrap my head around it all. But my goodness you've created a New Universe for Guitar Players to Keep on Living the Dream. Huge Hugs and Gratitude, thank you for being you!

That’s correct, any loop, you can then change the position of that loop 👍

@@TheGigRigDaniel thank you!

Appreciate that these things take time to build... but still. :-(

Cheers Chris, we’ll be doing everything possible to get it to you ASAP. Thanks so much for your patience

@@TheGigRigDaniel thanks! Appreciate that these things take time. Just impatient to get my hands on your magic box of tone! I’ve probably watched about 100 hours of TPS over the past month trying to design my ultimate board. Currently got Whammy Kongpressor Plasma coil Big Muff Metalzone Blues driver Ryra the Klone CH1 Bad Stone Electric Mistress deluxe Timeline Big Sky ... I want something else, something odd, maybe a Hog2... haven’t decided yet! It’s been a tough few months (for everyone), but searching for new noises on my rig has become a coping strategy for my lockdown mental health... and I’ve always got TPS on in the background. Thanks for everything you do!

Thanks so much Chris, yep, I hear you, it’s been a tough tough year. Stroke of midnight on nye I’ll be out the front of my house, facing the North Star and shouting “Jumanji!!!” at the top of my voice 😂 here’s to an awesome 2021 👍

100%@@TheGigRigDaniel / things can only get better. Thanks for everything you do. And please pass on my thanks to your team. There answers all my bonkers questions since ordering the beast and been super helpful. Great company, superb products, wonderful people.

Hi Tony, absolutely 👍

@@TheGigRigDaniel thank you!!

Hi there. If you’ve got the board set up to integrate into an amp with an fx loop and yiu end up with back line that has no effects loop, you can simply place a patch cable between the send and return of the loop your using for the amps pre amp. Hope that helps 🤓🙏

Thanks mate, the Atom has TRS for every loop 🤓👍

fyi, yes, it does. confirmed from FB. sweet.

Only if they have some sort of remote facility

@@TheGigRigDaniel ...although, and this is one of my favourite features, if you change the function on the pedal, you can change the position of it, gain, etc, etc... so e.g my digital delay can go before my reverb, except when I’m using its looper, when I can put it last to capture the whole rig, or just before my split to capture a dry riff, or, or.... brilliant!!!

It’s like a deep metallic blue, it’s just gorgeous

​@@TheGigRigDaniel Thanks, Dan! I was just about to order a G2 but had a feeling from a couple of hints you dropped that something new was in the works. So glad I waited! Will the G3 be able to have its number of loops expanded with two Remote Loopys like the G2? I may need some assistance in my setup. Can I reach you at support@thegigrig.com? Thanks so much and please say Hi to Mick!

Hey RP, G3 has 3 ways to switch the preamp depending on the amp. It has programmable remote switches so if your amp uses a standard two button footswitch you can simply swap the footswitch with G3’s remote switching. 2nd is MIDI incase your amp is MIDI programmable, and third is audio. If your amp has separate inputs for each channel , DC30 for example, you can switch the channels by simply choosing which G3 output to use 👍

@@TheGigRigDaniel awesome. Thanks for the reply! This is going to the top of my list 😊

Hi, it’s a Schmidt Array 🤓👌

Steve Vai.

Program the remote switches as part of a preset 👍

There’s a few ways you can set this up depending on if you want it active all the time or not. Think I’ll do a vid showing how to hook up a noise gate with G3 👍

@@TheGigRigDaniel please do! Thank you!

You can connect them via midi and put one G3 in the loop of the other

@@TheGigRigDaniel your the man. Thanks and I appreciate your time.
