The GigRig G3 S User manual
G3S Quickstart Guide V.1 / ©The GigRig Ltd 2023
We are delighted to introduce TheGigRig G3 S pedalboard switching system.
The G3 S functions in exactly the same way as the original G3 with the addition of oled screens to display
preset names next to the footswitches, with the exception of footswitches 1&8. Preset names for these
footswitches can be seen on the main display. The new software also enables you to sync your G3 S to our web
editor for easy MIDI editing and preset naming. Head to thegigrig.com for more details.
We want you to jump right in, so here is what you need to know to get started.
BACK PANEL CONNECTIONS
TOP PANEL
CONNECTIONS
1. Connect your effects to the back panel of G3, SEND from G3 to the effect input and from the output of the
effect to the G3 loop RETURN.
2. Connect your amp(s), PLEASE NOTE if you are only using one amplifier 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.
3. Connect your tuner to the TUNER/AUX output. Connect any MIDI pedals and REMOTE SWITCHES you want
to use.
4. Connect your power to G3. We recommend using TheGigRig Generator supplied with G3.
PROGRAMING
1. Choose a 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 want to turn on with that preset.
3. Repeat for the other presets you wish to programme. There is no store button, G3 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 enables you to build sounds on the fly giving you the ultimate flexibility.
1. Choose the PRESET you want to turn into a STOMPBOX mode preset, E.g. using PRESET 10.
2. Select the LOOP(s) you want to turn on. In this example, I want to add a delay that is in LOOP
9
3. Now make sure everything else is turned off including OUTPUTS and PHASE OUT 2.
4. Now press the STOMPBOX MODE button. A little yellow light will turn on next to the main preset light.
This means this preset is now set up in STOMPBOX mode.
Preset 10 is now in STOMPBOX and is used to add the delay in LOOP 9, ON TOP of any other preset.
You can have as many STOMPBOX MODE presets as you like. In the STANDARD
setting, all stompbox mode presets will clear when you press any normal preset,
but you can set this to stay on in the DEEP EDIT MENU, where you can also set
your STOMPBOX preset up in momentary.
NAVIGATING THE DEEP EDIT MENU
Press the button on the left-hand side of the LCD screen to
access the DEEP EDIT MENU.
Use footswitches 1,2,3 & 4 (labelled with ) to
navigate through the menu to edit;
MIDI, PARALLEL & WET/DRY SIGNAL PATHS, DELAY/REVERB TRAILS,
PRESET NAMES, BLUETOOTH SOFTWARE UPDATES, STOMPBOX
MODES, PRESET BANK COPY & PASTE, SCREEN BRIGHTNESS, etc.
Editing the menu options in G3 has been designed to be as intuitive as possible, but for additional guidance
please refer to the full manual.
