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. G3 Atom is a condensed-down version of the new G3, boasting all of the same great features albeit with 6 effect loops rather than 12. Offering true stereo delay and reverb spillover, 99 banks of presets and Bluetooth connectivity to pair with the new G3 iOS app — you can make this the tone-controlling centrepiece of your setup!

Key Features

  • Exceptional audio with incredibly clean signal path and high headroom.
  • G3 Atom has 6 programmable-true bypass effects loops, each of which can be mono, or stereo via TRS jacks.
  • 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

The GigRig is a UK-based company known for its high-quality pedal switching systems and effects management tools. The company has developed a reputation for creating innovative solutions that allow musicians to seamlessly integrate multiple effects pedals into their setups while maintaining control and clarity. The GigRig’s products are designed to provide versatility and ease of use for both live performance and studio use, helping musicians manage their complex pedalboards with minimal effort.

One of The GigRig’s flagship products is the *G2*, a multi-pedal switching system that allows musicians to control up to 8 effects pedals with a single unit, making it easier to create intricate signal chains and switch between different configurations on stage. The system’s flexible routing options and MIDI capabilities give users precise control over their effects, while preserving signal integrity and minimising noise. The GigRig also offers various power supplies, loop switchers, and controllers, all designed to help musicians build more efficient, organised, and professional pedalboard setups. With its focus on reliability and innovation, The GigRig has become a trusted brand for musicians seeking to optimise their pedalboard configurations.

Pedal Switchers

A pedal switcher routes effects through independently controlled loops so several pedals can be engaged, bypassed or reordered from one set of footswitches. Simple loop strips shorten the live signal path; programmable systems store combinations as presets and may send MIDI commands or change amplifier channels. Loop count, buffer placement, stereo support, spillover and routing flexibility define the system.

Tags

Bluetooth

Provides a short-range wireless data or audio connection. Depending on the design it may carry backing audio, editing commands, preset management or MIDI rather than the live instrument signal; codec delay and supported Bluetooth profiles determine what the connection can do.

Presets

Stores complete groups of parameter values for later recall. The number of locations, switching time, spillover behaviour and whether presets include routing, expression and MIDI assignments determine how completely one sound can change into another.

Stereo

Processes, creates or passes two audio channels. True stereo preserves separate left and right inputs, while mono-to-stereo effects generate spatial differences internally; routing, phase behaviour and whether trails remain stereo determine the resulting image. Some outputs sum to mono when only one socket is connected, which can change level or modulation depth.

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.
