THE ADVANCED SWITCHING SYSTEM 1. INTRODUCTION When we launched G3 ATOM in 2020 we introduced the world to a new level of control over effects pedals. We started from scratch and designed the G3 series from the ground up, obsessively testing and retesting every aspect of its design to ensure we delivered the most robust, fully featured, tonally transparent switching system in the world. - Page 5 THE ADVANCED SWITCHING SYSTEM November 13 , 2023...

CONNECTING STEREO EFFECTS To use stereo effects with G3 Atom, simply use TRS cables with G3 Atoms effects loops. Each of G3 Atom’s loops has the capacity to do this so you can literally have up to 6 stereo effects. -

Connect OUT1 to the effects RETURN. Now that the amplifiers effects loop is connected to G3 Atom, we have to turn it on. You’ll need to go through every pre-set and turn on your chosen preamp loop. Yes, every single pre-set. If you don’t do this your signal from G3 will head straight to your amps POWER AMP, bypassing the preamp and it’s... -

Stomp box mode allows you to add a loop or any combination of loops and functions on top of a G3 Atom preset. For example, Let's say I have a rhythm sound setup and all I want to do is boost that rhythm sound. There's no need for me to create a new pre-set, all I need to do is to create a stomp box mode preset that has a boost in it. - Page 13 THE ADVANCED SWITCHING SYSTEM preset simply by adding my stop box mode preset. (In DEEP EDIT mode you can choose between 3 different types of Stomp – Standard, Sticky and Flash. Check in the deep edit guide for more info). a.

THE ADVANCED SWITCHING SYSTEM 5.2.2 MIDI Scroll down the Deep Edit menu to MIDI and then scroll right to enter the MIDI menu. G3’s MIDI capability allows you to send up to 15 individual MIDI messages on each preset. These can be PC (Program Change), CC (Control Change), or EXP (Expression Pedal) MIDI messages. - Page 17 There are two expression pedal inputs in G3 Atom so you have the choice of which expression pedal you want to use to send out your CC commands.
-
Page 18: Loop Order
On top of all the MIDI functionality that is available with the expression pedals, you also have the option to set up the expression pedals to control the pre and post gain in G3 Atom. A really great way to use the expression pedal is as a volume control, using the Pre Gain to control the levels going into your effects or using the post gain as a master volume control. -
Page 19: Stompbox
There are 3 Stompbox modes in G3 Atom; Standard, Sticky and Flash. Standard is the default setting, to select either of the other two modes you will need to enter the DEEP EDIT MENU, scroll down to STOMPBOX, and select the stompbox mode you want BEFORE you create your stompbox mode preset. -

The easiest way to achieve this is to turn off any midi messages being sent to your delay from your rhythm/spill-over sound. 5.3 PARALLEL The parallel features in G3 Atom is the key to setting up effects in parallel, wet dry, even sending different effects to different amplifiers. November 13... - Page 21 THE ADVANCED SWITCHING SYSTEM The idea behind parallel is simple, it means that at some point in your signal path you split your signal and you send that signal to different effects then either join that signal path again or continue with the split signal being sent to different outputs.
- Page 22 THE ADVANCED SWITCHING SYSTEM Then choose if you want to re-join the signal or not. If you want to re-join, select the loop that you want to join after. If not, the standard signal will continue along to output 1 and the parallel signal will continue along to output 2.
-
Page 23: Tap Tempo
THE ADVANCED SWITCHING SYSTEM To achieve this, we split our signal after our gain tones. For instance, you split the signal before loop 4 and select no re-join. You, therefore, send your signals from here to separate amplifiers. Anything that you select from this point, on the parallel signal path, will go to output 2. -
