The GigRig are major pioneers of the modern stompbox switching system. Their ingenious G2 model has been used by professionals worldwide — allowing players to easily manage their sophisticated pedalboards by engaging/disengaging multiple effects at once with just a single click!

Daniel Steinhardt (of 'That Pedal Show' fame) along with his engineers at The GigRig have now built a successor for the popular G2 — introducing G3, their latest-generation advanced switching system for guitarists and bassists. Catering for even more complex stompbox setups with its 12 programmable effect loops, G3 also boasts true stereo delay and reverb spillover, 99 banks of presets and Bluetooth connectivity to pair with the new G3 iOS app. The best has been made even better!

Key Features

  • Exceptional audio with incredibly clean signal path and high headroom.
  • G3 has 12 programmable true-bypass mono effects loops. Group them for up to 6 stereo effects.
  • Up to 99 banks of presets: fully programmed effects combinations with one-touch control.
  • One-touch switching for multiple changes and/or stompbox mode for single pedal on/off.
  • Super bright TFT LCD display with four levels of brightness: name your presets and never be lost!
  • Built-in wet/dry signal splitting: you can send different effects combinations to different amps.
  • Programmable VCA buffer for complete control of signal input level.
  • Stereo programmable VCA amplifier on the output to boost or attenuate your various preset volumes.
  • True stereo delay and reverb spillover, even from analogue effects.
  • Phase reversible, parallel signal paths configured how you choose.
  • Bluetooth connection to the G3 iOS app for software updates and system backups. You can also store and edit setlists and beam directly to G3.
  • Up to 15 separate programmable, mappable MIDI PC and CC messages per preset.
  • 2 expression pedal inputs for real-time control of multiple CC messages with different heel and toe values.
  • Other rig essentials include isolated second output with programmable phase control, dedicated tuner out, tap tempo and remote switching for other devices such as your amp.
  • G3 Extension Kit enables remote switching for effects offstage or back by your amp, stored safely in a case.
  • G3 HUB enables multiple controllers for different stage positions / tech control and so on.

Brand

The GigRig

In the current JustPedals catalogue, The GigRig is represented by Pedal Switchers, Utility Pedals and Pedal Power Supplies. Current listings include ACA AOK, ABY-BABY and Distributor. That makes the range relevant to players looking for pedalboard infrastructure and control. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Pedal Switchers

Pedal switchers route effects in and out of the signal path from a central foot controller. They can reduce tap dancing, shorten active cable runs and recall combinations of pedals as presets or scenes. The important differences are the number of loops, series or parallel routing, buffer placement, relay bypass, MIDI, expression and amplifier-channel control. Check loop order, send and return levels, stereo support and whether the switcher can control the pedals and external equipment you already use.

Tags

Bluetooth

Bluetooth provides wireless control, audio or app connectivity; it does not necessarily carry the instrument signal through the pedalboard. Check the Bluetooth profile, range, latency, supported devices, pairing method and whether the feature works while the unit is processing audio. A Bluetooth-enabled pedal may use the connection for editing or playback only, so read the specification before relying on it as a live wireless link.

Presets

Preset-capable products can store and recall effect settings, signal paths or control assignments. The useful differences are the number of locations, whether footswitches or MIDI can recall them, what parameters are saved, how quickly they change and whether trails continue between settings. Check editing, backup, firmware, expression and USB requirements, and confirm that the preset system covers the parameters you need rather than assuming every control is recalled.

Stereo

Stereo products provide separate left and right audio paths, which may widen modulation, preserve independent delays or route a pedalboard into two amplifiers or a mixer. Input and output behaviour is not always symmetrical: some units sum a stereo input, while others create stereo from a mono source. Check whether the effect collapses safely to mono, how the dry signal is routed, the socket format and the destination’s panning and phase requirements.
