Wow! I wish I would have seen this 2 years ago! I've been trying to get my head around how to use Midi on my rig and with an Amp with built-in effects and I finally understand it! PTL! IT took me a while to understand that the Loops in the back of the G3 were Audio loops for each effect pedal and NOT TRS Midi Loops. But now I got it. I'd like to actually see the back of your G3 to literally see which connection is going to what, but either way, I FINALLY understand how to set up a Midi controller on my rig! ..... and all that without needing to break into my computer!!!

@@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?

If you put the ML10 in a loop of G3 and control it with MIDI that will give you the best of all worlds.

Only improvement I can think of is trs jacks for every loop, so that each one can be run in stereo, thus you won’t have to make compromises if you need 12 loops! Otherwise this is just fantastic as is!

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

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

[@gatysm]

I was very happy to see the 12 effect loops instead of the previous 10 but then I noticed that you have to sacrifice 1 for the effect loop instead of using the volume insert on the G2. I will still buy a G3 in the next few days though with all these midi improvements, the possibility to reorder the loops, the digital screen and app that make it a lot more user friendly. G2 is still one of my very best purchase in the past years so I know I won’t be disappointed with the G3. For the G4, I wish we could get a tuner integrated that would be great 😁, and small digital screens on each preset with the name of the preset. With the release of the G3 i guess I can still wait for a deep update of the midi + app 😂.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

the volume insert in G2 is great, but by including that loop in the main loops of G3 it just gives you extra flexibility. Plus the Tuner/Aux in G3 is its. own TRS loop, so you really have 13 programable loops in G3 🤓👍

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) 👍

[@JB19504]

How can you do stereo effects when you are running into one guitar amp?

[@rebelproductions9086]

Just to be clear, it also switches the preamp of any amplifier? Its super nice you can put the preamp of an amplifier in a loop, but I never hear people talk about the switching of the preamps in the amplifier. Is this because this is like stating the obvious? Just insecure about this part. So example, bank 1 is clean(channel one of the amp) with reverb and delay, bank two is crunch(channel two of the amp) with an overdrive pedal. Might be a pointless question but I never see this adressed in detail so 😊

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

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 👍

Hey Dan! I’m getting excited for my G3 to arrive. Silly question, but do I assign a switch to get to my tuner? This is a little new to me because for years I would just have my main output from my loop switcher coming into my tuner so I wasn’t wasting a loop for the tuner itself. I had to step on the tuner itself to turn it on. It would be nice to have the tuner on the new board I’m putting together and just get to it with the G3 instead. 😊

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

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 🙏👍

Furthermore, I don't use the loop on my Friedman as I prefer the loop on the Fryette; would I be able to utilise the loop on the G3 together with the loop on the power amp?

[@SuperMariotrip420]

I have a question about using the FX loops of the amps but in a stereo rig where you would have two amps with FX loops that I would like to send the reverb and delay into both amps through both FX loops. Do I just put both loops into the G3?

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

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

[@pytheus]

Aww, only twelve pedals. I need like a switcher with eighteen your more, to be useable, for me anyways. But looks like a great bit of kit anyways.

[@monkey0953]

There’s ways to expand it to more than twelve, if you have a group of like six pedals that’ll always be in the same general location or so (like if you had six different drive types on your board) you could run those in the loops of something like a voodoo lab hex and put the hex in one of the G3 loops and have it midi controlled, thus making the Hex function like a drives subfolder

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

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 🤓🙏

[@CZA1112]

Just one question about the loop ordering. If I am using the 4 cable method would it be possible to change the position of the amps effects loop too? Example 1: Like Dan said I put the Preamp in Loop 4. For some songs I would like to have the Delay and Reverb in front of the preamp so I would change the position of the preamp in the loop order after loop 12? Example 2: If I want to play something in the style of Tom Morello, all pedals in the effects loop of the amp, I would change the loop order that the preamp is before Loop 1? I am just wondering if this would work.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

[@StefanDemetz]

So if you set up some pedals in stereo, but sometimes play in mono with just 1 output selected, does it all come back to mono?

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Hi Stefan, it doesn’t automatically sum to mono because that doesn’t work in all situations. However, you can set up some banks to be in Monte and some banks to be in stereo and somewhat you like to mono using the mixers. Hope that helps.

Now, if you really, really wanted to make this stupidly powerful, make the ins/out TRS connectors with a dip switch under each one that lets you select whether it will be a stereo or mono loop. That way you don't have to give up 6 monos loops to get 3 stereo loops. And you just use TRS to TS breakout cables to connect the stereo effects. Let the CPU sense the switch position, so it knows which ones are which type, or if that's not practical, allow them to be selected in the menu.

[@BleedBlueNYR1994]

This thing is honestly incredible but I get anxiety if my pedal has more than 4 knobs.

[@darrenashton957]

G3 has many advantages over G2, but crucially it effectively has fewer loops. On G2 you did not have to sacrifice a loop for the send & return of your FX loop. G2 has two stereo loops as part of its 10 loops. If you want two stereo loops on G3 you have to double up on loops, two loops per stereo pedal. So a G3 using your FX loop and two stereo pedals would be left with 7 loops for other pedals, giving you a total of 9 pedals. The same setup on G2 would support 10 pedals, two stereo pedals plus 8 others.

[@sky-magnet]

I just bought the G3 and went to switch it out with my G2 and now have fewer loops to work with....when I thought I was getting 2 more. Real bummer.

Hi Daniel, I just purchased the G3... my G2 from 2018 stopped functioning, tech said I need a new "rail" for the upper switches... he said he doesn't have them available at the moment and I needed to use the switcher in order to keep on working so I went for the G3... where does my "volume pedal" go? on the G2 there was a volume pedal insert section i plugged my Lehle into. I can't seem to figure out where to put it in the G3. let say i don't use my amps fx loop/return... i'm guessing i just hook it into one of the 12 fx loops?

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

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 👍

[@skyluna_music]

@@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!

Anyone knows what pedal board case is he using in the video.

Hi, it’s a Schmidt Array 🤓👌

[@JustinHold]

How do you run two amps at the same time with 4 cable method?

[@NebulaStudios1]

Daniel - With this new device where does a volume pedal get connected? I use a volume pedal for swells and some volume control with my delays. The delays are normally run through the amp effects loop. So in my G2 I have it in one of the Loops and it is before my delays. I did like the dedicated Volume Insert in G2, but that goes away when using the Effects Loop configuration. Does that differ on G3? Thank you.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

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 🙏

[@NebulaStudios1]

@@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.

[@joebordash3160]

If I'm doing the 4 cable method does it matter which loops I choose on G3 since we can reorder them? If I have a mono reverb in 11 and have my amp in 8 could i just reorder 11-8 then out? Thanks!

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

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

[@joebordash3160]

@@TheGigRigDaniel killer. Thanks!!!!!

[@billybobhouse9559]

How do you remember whats in each preset?

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Check out the new G3S 🤓👍

[@jawsxx8683]

So this is buffered. I'm ok with that, but what is the sample rate?

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

Hi! No, it’s not buffered unless you turn on the pre or post gain, then the input and/or the output are buffered. 680k in, 100 out

[@jimmynorris]

You didn’t mention power. What do I need to get it connected to my generator? I know it needs 650ma. Is there a high current adapter just for this?

[@brianunkhunter1340]

So how do I use my fortin Zulu+ with the g3??

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

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 👍

[@brianunkhunter1340]

@@TheGigRigDaniel please do! Thank you!

[@willarsiam]

What a great board! I have a question: if im running my moduler effects in stereo and in the effectsloop in both amps, is it possible to connect then both in the 4 cable method? Or is 8 cable method 🤔

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

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

[@willarsiam]

@@TheGigRigDaniel how would i go about that?

[@GSXR1k600RR]

What cables are people using with these? I have used Mogami gold on my board but would love a cheaper alternative because I need about 8 more to attach all my pedals.

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

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

[@andresortiz6]

For the Mercury M7, was the input into G3 done by a Y-TRS cable or mono in?

[@skipneumann1]

So if the default order is 12345678901112 we would want our default wiring/ assignment of pedals should follow the desired signal path? 1-compressor 2-distortions in the order you usually would stack them 6-12 delays chorus reverbs etc? Otherwise we would be (and could) be assigning pedal orders for each preset we create? Thanks

[@ReturnToCoda]

Can you still do a wet/dry/wet like I can with my G2? I do not see a volume insert connection, can you program one of the loops to function as one in conjunction with the humdinger?

[@TheGigRigDaniel]

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

[@bonafideguitar]

Dan if I normally run time-based affects through loop, can this still work for me?

[@eaglerayrob]

Anybody know which Schmidt Array model pedal board is being used in this video?
