G3 and G3 Atom Built In Tuner Update

[@dewiroebuck]

Just ordered a G3, going to be squirrelled away in the music room all winter playing with it… Thanks Dan and the team for creating something so great.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Ah mate, thank you SO much. Great to have you on board 🤓🙏

[@Patrick_theshuttercanvas]

Currently saving up for a G3 & this video’s got me even more exited for it! Now I’d be able to use the aux-out for DI’ing my dry signal into my DAW to be used for re-amping later.

[@glennmcmullen5192]

This was the ONE thing that I was really missing with this and mine was ordered at xmas so this addition just makes my day! Thanks a ton for including it!

[@simthief]

Just to say I was one of those people who got an earlier G3 and got my unit back this week. The postage cost about £20 for both ways and I’m happily enjoying the tuner mod. Took a couple of days from receipt of my G3 and then was sent back to me. Thanks for your great work Dan and Gigrig 👍

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Thanks so much mate, that’s awesome!!

[@joeymiller2633]

i got 1818," sweet " i need a tuner and now have a new loop open. you da man.

[@stratpaulguy86]

Dan you are a genius. Definitely getting a Gigrig switcher sooner rather than later! I was pondering potential ideas for future updates or the next version...I think a programmable EQ that can be assigned anywhere in the signal path would be a POWERFUL tool. Thank you for doing what you do, making the world a more tone-ful place!

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Ah, cheers mate 🤓🙏

[@chimera2518]

Genius! @Daniel TheGigRig et al have the best development team in the guitar space. This is such an incredible addition, so looking forward to what else you guys deliver software-wise. Clever, clever folks.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Cheers mate, yep, my team is incredible

[@mattonaccirecordingstudio5860]

@@TheGigRigDaniel .... it would be cool if the tuner always worked, without the need to occupy a loop. when you need it, just turn down the volume of the guitar

I love it! Can’t wait to get mine at the end of the month. Just in time for my birthday.

Dan, you're the best! I'm still on a couple of QMX-10s and you're still the best! One of these days, when I stop buying guitars...

Wow, I was hoping for this, but I didn't expect it to happen. Class.

[@hermonoetim]

Why your awesome! Free upgrade! I don’t have one but respect you even more for it

[@Angus.Maclean]

As usual, you think of it before we even knew it was needed.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Thanks Angus 🙏

[@jimmyether]

I've been waiting for the Remote Loopy 2 to come available again because I needed just one more loop. Now I don't need it. :) Thanks, Dan and GigRig team!

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

You’re most welcome Jimmy 🤗🙏

[@TechMetalRules]

This is pretty cool and would free up some space on my board, but I don't think I can give up my Peterson StroboStomp HD just yet, haha!

[@horaciococcioni8538]

Making better already the best "making it sound right" utility pedal for pedalboard. Yes, it's not only a programable switcher, it is so much more. It would be really cool if the tuner is in a particular footswitch (say 1 for instance), and accesable by holding it down for a couple of seconds, or maybe by pressing two footswitches at the same time, just to free up all the presets. Not a big deal anyway but it could be really cool, specially in the atom where there are less footswitches. Amazing company and a legendary product!!!

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Thanks so much. I find it works best as a hidden preset under a normal preset. I have my main rhythm preset, tap it a second time and you’re on the tuner 👍

[@MrDavemiley]

I still love my G2 very much, Will be getttng Atom to run a smaller board soon. GigRig is the best !

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Thanks mate 🤓🙏

Hi Stuart 👍

[@weschilton]

Wow, thats super cool!

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Cheers Wes 🙏

[@laerciojr1]

Awesome 👏👏👏

[@Stratomacaster]

Really cool mod! Congrats on getting that to work. But now the debate is whether the mod is worth the shipping costs from the US. Just remember to add this to the G4 and we'll be alright. 🙂 That's coming out pretty soon right? You know - with the built in Generator to power your pedals along with the Humdinger circuit and the Three:2:One... A few months right??? RIGHT???? 🤣

[@justindavis3115]

Are we talking full chromatic tuner, or just standard 440? Either way - fantastic news Dan!

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

It’s chromatic A440 👍

[@angrydonkey2918]

What a unit, hope to be able to put my hands on...one question, the tuner/aux loop is now free, but can i be reordered as any other loop or is simply the first one with fixed in and out gain? It's all the same in the atom, correct?

[@chimera2518]

It's pre- (pre-gain), you can't order the AUX loop which falls before the buffer/booster. This is the ideal loop for pedals that prefer unmolested/un-boosted guitar signal like germanium Fuzz pedals. Still 12 loops available for ordering...

[@gutekzpoligonu]

Sir, are You the one who works on those custom option pedalbords for GigRig? Cheers from Poland!

[@Hamppzah]

Very awesome! I'm curious though, does the aux out become the send of the new loop, and if so, where do you plug the return?

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

The Aux out is a TRS loop so you can use it as the 13th loop. Tip is send, ring is return 👍

[@Hamppzah]

@@TheGigRigDaniel Wow, clever.. Thanks for building this beast of a thing, I'm definitely getting one!

[@NHail]

@@TheGigRigDaniel was just about to ask the same, thank you!!! 13 is my lucky number 😉

[@gawilliamsmusic]

Super cool stuff - is there any plans for G3 or especially atom to take stereo inputs for us Rick-o-sound weirdos and Gibson 345/55 users. Could the aux for the tuner be used for a second input? Or could you perhaps put a TRS input. If you don't ask...

[@chimera2518]

No, I don't believe so, but you can use the return of a loop as a second input & keep the two signal paths separate through whatever other loops you select, then go to their own respective outputs.

[@CrplCon]

You'll mod an older model for FREE!? Plus give it a tune up???? Who are you people, and where can I find more like you?

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Cheers Greg 🙏

[@YMESYDT]

This is incredibly cool. How would you compare it to your ST-300? That’s the tuner I use as well

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

It’s not a strobe, it’s a simple A440 chromatic tuner. Certainly ideal for 99% of situations

[@ligal75]

Wow

[@gusveiga3770]

Awesome feature! Is this available at ATOM as well? How can we use the tuner port as an additional loop if it one has 1 input/output?

[@frasersurfs]

Looks like any Atoms with S/N above 1312 can do it through the software

[@chimera2518]

The tuner/AUX loop is TRS, not TS. You can use what's sometimes called an insert cable- It's a TRS cable that Y's to two separate TS 1/4" jacks. Google "TRS insert cable"

[@sky-magnet]

Stellar!!! So I can use the tuner/aux for my volume pedal now and insert it after my gain stages using a TRS cable?

[@chimera2518]

No, you can't order this loop after other loops, it comes before the input buffer. You can put your volume pedal in any other loops though & place that after your gain, watch the Ed O'Brien pedal board build. Watch around the 10 minute mark kzbin.info/www/bejne/sInMe2CKrJ2KhJY

[@sky-magnet]

@@chimera2518 On the G2 you have a volume insert that you can place anywhere in the chain.

[@chimera2518]

@@sky-magnet That's correct. This however is the G3, not the G2. The AUX loop is fixed in position, pre-input buffer.

[@sky-magnet]

@@chimera2518 Yeah you can just hold down the phase button and press what loop you want it after on the G2. Since the volume insert is connected to the post gain circuit, you could move the post gain to be right after your gain stages and still keep your trails on your delays for swells when using the volume pedal.

[@sky-magnet]

@@chimera2518 It’s just that he said it was a programmable loop so it was hoping I could use the volume pedal in it…but maybe I will stick my wah in there instead.

[@FakeGlasses]

Can't seem to find this, but what loop order number is the aux loop then? Is it always before 1? Can it be moved/re-assigned like the other loops?

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Hi! The Aux is fixed so it sits before the pre gain. It means that you can use the pre gain as a buffer but post the Aux loop. Let’s say you have the Aux loop in StompBox mode and you kick it in on top of a preset that uses the pre gain, all hell isn’t going to break loose 👍

[@FakeGlasses]

@@TheGigRigDaniel Thanks for the response! Loving the g3

[@robomalo]

Stoked for this one! Also, had no idea the screen had color. Hoping the update address UI/presentation bugs/inconsistencies in the menus. I’m a UI software engineer so the stuff jumps out at me. Still, amazing stuff!

[@chimera2518]

Why not pass on the issues you notice to the development team?

[@robomalo]

@@chimera2518 I have actually sent quite a few emails with screen shots but haven’t gotten a response. It’s odd because they’re usually very helpful. Even reported a very problematic experience with trails and parallel settings reverting often on random presets. Silence.

@@robomalo Post them up in the facebook group. I wouldn't necessarily expect a ton of correspondence in return- you can let the development team know of the issues & Im sure they consider the & work them into the workflow as time permits- IF they think it's worthy or necessary.

No, this loop is located before the input buffer, the other loops are all post-buffer.

Bahh Dan. I think you've just made me run out of excuses to not upgrade to a G3. Not only are you upgrading your products, you're ensuring your old customers aren't left behind...making them life long clients.

[@PatDeJongeSoundwise]

in previous videos it was expained to us that the G3 app automatically pulls up the latest software version. Mine offers me 433 for the moment, not 440. So how do I get 440 in my app? Cheers!

[@tobiaskeilmusic]

how does this 13th loop work? It only has a send, no return on the unit, does it?

Hi T. The Aux loop is a TRS insert point so using a TRS to two mono cables. Tip = send, Ring - return 👍

a question: so the integrated tuner always remains active? does not go to occupy a loop? exact ? in theory it works if I turn down the volume of the guitar? thank you

[@chimera2518]

You can turn it on or off in the sub-menu- assign the tuner to a patch & you're set.

@@mattonaccirecordingstudio5860 It doesn't occupy a loop, but you could set it for a hidden patch if necessary- you'd just click on the existing patch to access the tuner, then click back after you were done tuning. We'll have to see when the software update comes next week whether it mutes the signal or not. Dan & team tend to think of every possible scenario so I tend to suspect it would allow both options, but that's pure speculation on my part.
