QUICK START GUIDE
G3 ATOM QuickStart Guide V.1 / ©The GigRig Ltd 2020
We are delighted to introduce TheGigRig G3 ATOM pedalboard switching system.
We designed G3 ATOM 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.
G3 ATOM is an expression of our passion: we compromised on nothing.
- Daniel Steinhardt
We want you to jump right in, so here is what you need to know to get started.

CONNECTIONS
To connect your effects to the back panel of G3 ATOM:
1. Connect G3 Atom FX Loop SEND to FX Pedal Input.
2. Connect FX Pedal OUTPUT to G3 ATOM Loop Return.
3. Connect your amp(s). PLEASE NOTE, if you are only using one amplifier/DAW you MUST use OUT1 as this is
your earth/ground. Connect to your second amplifier or channel/DAW using OUT2, as this is isolated and
phase reversible.
4. Connect your tuner to the TUNER/AUX Output.
5. Connect any MIDI enabled pedals using the MIDI INPUT/OUTPUT.

6. Connect your Remote Switch controllable devices (i.e. Amp channel, Remote Loopy 2, Tap Tempo) using G3
ATOM’s REMOTE SWITCH sockets.
7. Connect your power to G3 ATOM. We strongly recommend using TheGigRig Generator, supplied with your
G3 ATOM.
PROGRAMMING
1. Choose the preset that you wish to programme by pressing a PRESET FOOTSWITCH. It will light up and the
corresponding number will also appear on the LCD screen.
2. Select the EFFECTS LOOPS and CONTROL FUNCTIONS you wish to use with that preset.
3. Repeat for the other presets you wish to programme.
4. There is no store button. The G3 Atom remembers every time you press a button and automatically saves
after each step.
STOMPBOX MODE
This enables you to add any LOOP or combination of LOOPS and CONTROL FUNCTIONS on top of any standard
preset. This gives you the ability to create and build sounds on the fly without being tied to traditional presets.
1. Choose the PRESET you want to turn into a STOMPBOX Mode preset, ie: using PRESET 7.
2. Select the LOOP(s) you want to turn on. In this example I want to add a delay that is in LOOP 6
3. Now make sure everything else is turned off, including OUTPUTS and PHASE OUT2.
4. Now press the STOMPBOX MODE button. A yellow LED will turn on next to the main preset
LED.
5. Preset 7 is now in STOMPBOX Mode and will add the delay in LOOP 6, ON TOP of any other
preset.
You can add as many STOMPBOX MODE presets as you like. All Stompbox Mode presets will clear when you
press any normal preset. This can, however, be changed in the DEEP EDIT MENU, by selecting either Sticky
Stomp or Flash.
