G3 / G3X

When I use the G3/G3X connected to a guitar amp, high frequencies are exaggerated and the sound is painful.

Open the GLOBAL menu and check the OUTPUT parameter. If set to DIRECT, which is for line connections, a painful high-frequency sound will result. Change the setting to the one most appropriate for the type of guitar amp that you are using. For details, see page 19 of the Operation Manual.

Can I use multiple amp models at the same time?

No. The DSP power has a limit, so it is not possible to use multiple amp models at the same time.

Is it possible to output the effected sound and the original guitar sound at the same time?

Yes, it is possible. Set the XLR BALANCED OUT connector PRE/POST switch to PRE. Set this way, the main OUTPUT jacks will output the effected sound, while the XLR connector will output the original guitar sound at the same time.

Is it possible to use a foot switch to tap the tempo used for delay times and modulation rates?

This is not possible using the foot switches on the G3/G3X. If you want to tap the tempo for delay times and modulation rates while playing guitar, you will need an FS01 foot switch (sold separately).Can I use three instances of the same effect simultaneously?

Can I use three instances of the same effect simultaneously?

Yes, you can. For example, you could use three delay affects with different settings to create a complex delay sound. Using more than one amp model at a time, however, is not possible.

What are the specifications of the USB audio interface?

The specifications of the USB audio interface are as follows.

■ Quantization bit-rate: 16-bit

■ Sampling frequency: 44.1 kHz

■ Number of input channels: 2 (stereo L/R)

■ Number of output channels: 2 (stereo L/R)

I am able to use the USB audio interface to record, but no sound comes out of my computer speakers. What should I do?

When using the G3/G3X as a USB audio interface, sound from the computer is output through the G3/G3X. Connect speakers to the G3/G3X instead of the computer.

Can I adjust the recording level sent to my DAW software?

Yes, you can. Open the GLOBAL menu and use the USB AUDIO setting to adjust the REC GAIN parameter. For details, see page 21 of the Operation Manual.

Can the G3/G3X run on USB bus power?

Yes, it can. The G3/G3X can receive and use power supplied by a computer’s USB bus.

“Standby...”appears blinking on the display and sound stops being output.

The G3/G3X has an energy conservation function to prevent unnecessary power consumption and the batteries from draining. For this reason, if the G3/G3X is not used for about 25 minutes, it automatically enters standby mode. To disable this energy conservation function, shift the POWER switch from “eco” to “ON”.

Can I save the rhythm pattern, tempo and level settings?

Yes, the rhythm pattern, tempo and level settings are automatically saved even when you turn the power off.
