LEVELS ALL & RELAY 1+2
Basic Operation
• Press the LEVELS ALL key to enter this
menu.
• Use the PARAMETER/EDIT wheels in the
Control section to select and edit parameters
and values.
• The Level Parameters described below can
all be remote controlled. See explanation on
pages 22-23.
Preset Out Level
Range: Off (-100dB) to 0dB.
Sets the Output level of the current preset. This
allows level adjustment of each preset,
enabling you to make application specific
presets, such as lead and rhythm presets. The
Preset Out level is stored with the preset.
Please note that all factory presets is set to
-6dB, leaving headroom for additional individual
preset boost. An example on how to setup a
solo level is given in the “How To” section in
this manual.
Global In Level
Range: Off (-100dB) to 0dB.
Sets the overall Input level of the G•Major.
As the parameter name states this level is
global and therefore not stored with presets.
Using the Global Input level as overall volume
for your guitar setup, will allow the effects to
ring out after volume has been turned down,
e.g. Reverb and Delays will continue their
natural decay.
Global Out Level
Range: Off (-100dB) to 0dB.
Sets the overall Output level of the G•Major.
As the parameter name states this level is
global and therefore not stored with presets.
Using the Global Out level as overall volume for
your guitar setup, instant volume control of your
entire setup, including decaying effects, is
possible.
Kill Dry
Range: On/Off
We always recommend using the G•Major in a
serial setup or loop as this will give you
maximum benefit of all effect and features.
However, when used in a parallel setup/loop
the Kill Dry function comes in handy.
With Kill Dry activated, no direct signal will be
passed to the Outputs.
A few comments regarding the Kill Dry function
and a parallel setup. First of all:
• In such a setup we recommend using the
parallel routing.
• Note that the “Mix” parameter changes to
“Wet” in all algorithms when Kill Dry is set to
“On”.
Secondly, you should be aware that the idea of
a parallel loop can be compared to the signal
path of a mixer. The signal is split, - one part
runs unprocessed to out and never passes the
effects processor. The other part is processed
through the G•Major and summed with the
unprocessed signal.
Therefore you will not get full benefit from all
effects when running a parallel setup. This goes
especially for level based effects such as
Tremolo and Panner but also Chorus/Flanger/
Phaser/Vibrato and Pitch will be affected.
Channel Switching of Ext.
Preamp using Relay 1 & 2
G•Major has two built in switching relays
that allows analog pre-amps channels to be
switch either at preset changes or via a
received MIDI CC from your MIDI pedal.
In other words;
- with each preset you can decide whether
your preamp or combo should use the clean or
overdriven channel.
- or you could switch the relays/preamp-
channel by sending a MIDI Cc message to the
G•Major via your MIDI board.
Depending on the channel switching connection
on your preamp/combo either a “Y-Splitter
Cable” splitting a Stereo 1/4” jack to two mono
jacks (tip to tip and tip to ring), or a standard
“Stereo jack to Stereo jack-cable” must be
used.
• Relay 1 shorts the tip of the switching 1/4"
jack with the sleeve/GND, when set to On.
Off position means that the relay is open.
• Relay 2 shorts the ring of the switching 1/4"
jack with the sleeve/GND, when set to On.
Off position means that the relay is open.
