THE GIG RIG G3S Switching System The Gig Rig

 Hear your pedalboard’s effects as they were designed to sound, unencumbered by the compromises of a standard pedalboard setup.  

Since the launch of our G2 Pedalboard Switcher in 2013 we’ve never stopped dreaming about what would be next. 2020 saw the evolution of our G switching system – the mighty G3 and G3 Atom with unparalleled signal path flexibility, MIDI control, and intuitive programming. 

To this day G3 sets the standard for professional effects pedalboard control, allowing you to concentrate on the important thing – playing. 

We’ve continued to bring new features to G3 such as; Hi-Def Isolated Output (so no colouration through traditional transformers), as well as updated software including MIDI Sequencer, extra stompbox modes, Expression Pedal Inputs, and MIDI commands when turning presets on and off. 

But there’s one feature we’ve always wanted to add… something to help ease the pressure of remembering or manually labelling… a digital display for EACH footswitch. 

The G3S features 12 additional dedicated footswitch screens alongside the Main G3 screen, in total providing preset labels for all 14 switches.

These OLED displays are designed to be visible in any light and on even the darkest of stages – all without drawing any more current away from your power supply, and each display featuring up to five characters. 

With its built-in Bluetooth you can connect to our new G3 Web Editor, or via the G3 iOS app to edit and label your 99 banks of Presets, update software, run system backups, and edit your song lists with ease.

We’ve also built the G3 Extension Kit so you can have your rig offstage, controlled by your  tech, for the ultimate pro touring rig. For all the things that G3S does, we’ve never forgotten the most important thing and that’s what G3S doesn’t do…

The G3 range will not load or colour your guitar tone, letting you hear your effects and amps as they were designed to sound.

The G3 delivered a new standard for those seeking the ultimate control and tonal transparency – and the G3S and G3S Atom are the icing on the cake.
