The GigRig QuarterMaster QMX is a pedal switcher that keeps your setup sounding crystal clear while offering a massive amount of pedal control. Take full control of your pedal chain with ease to suit your tone. 

Sound

The QuarterMaster provides the shortest and purest signal route from guitar to amp. There's no trade-off in tone for versatility here! It features completely true bypass relay technology with complete transparency and even quiet switching – nothing here to interrupt your playing or alter your sound.  

Roadworthy Casing

The new GigRig OptoKick foot switches are up there as the most reliable ever created. Soft foot switching means no loud clicks and extreme resilience to stomps. The aluminium casing is super tough and streamlined enough to fit on any board.

Trust The GigRig for roadworthy gear used by the likes of Simon Neil from Biffy Clyro, Ed O'Brien of Radiohead and Noel Gallagher. 

Flip Flop Controlling

New to the QMX Quartermaster are flip flop switches. A small button next to each input and output set of loops provides even more control to picking out effects as and when you please. No more tap dancing.

Apply this function to as many loops as you want. When you turn one loop on, it'll turn another off at the same time. For example, if you have three overdrives and you only want to use one at a time, press in the flip flop switches and you'll cut down two clicks to one.

Key Features

  • Uses TheGigRig 'True Bypass' relay technology keeping your tone perfectly intact and your switching quiet. 
  • Tough aluminium enclosure and small footprint will keep your pedalboard light and compact 
  • Uses the new GigRig 'OptoKick' Optical Foot switch which we believe is the most reliable foot switch in the world.

Brand

The GigRig

The GigRig is a UK-based maker of guitar rig switching and modular power systems founded by guitarist Daniel Steinhardt. Its G3 systems manage effects loops, MIDI and multi-amp setups, while Generator and modular power components can be built out as a pedalboard grows. The company also makes signal splitters, patching products and board accessories. JustPedals listings include the Three2One switcher, GEN-X-14 supply and Generator. The GigRig says its switching systems and power accessories, except Generator, are designed and made in the UK; this distinction matters when comparing the origin of individual products.

Specialist Effects Pedals

Specialist effects alter the signal in ways that do not sit cleanly inside one established family. They may use granular processing, frequency shifting, resonators, freeze or sustain, bit reduction, ring modulation, feedback networks or combinations of several techniques. The relevant distinction is the underlying process, its tracking or latency, and how completely the dry signal can be blended or replaced.

True Bypass

Connects input directly to output through mechanical or relay switching when the effect is off, removing the active circuit from the audio path. It avoids buffer colour but leaves cable capacitance and switching design to influence high-frequency loss and possible switching noise.
