Connecting and setting up G-Major 2

There are numerous ways of hooking up guitar rigs. On the following pages, we present some of

the most commonly used setups. We recommend using serial setups, where the entire signal

passes through G-Major 2. This will give you the maximum benefit from all effect algorithms.

Serial setup with preamp and power amp

• Connect the output of your preamp to the

input of G-Major 2.

• Connect the output of G-Major 2 to the input

of your power amp.

• If you want to switch preamp channels with

G-Major 2, connect the SWITCH OUT jack on

G-Major 2 to the channel switching jacks on

your preamp. This is not required for MIDI-

controllable preamps.

Serial setup with a preamp and one or two

combo amps

• Connect the output of your preamp to the

input of G-Major 2.

• Connect the output of G-Major 2 to either the

input or the Loop Return of the combo or

combos.*

• If you want to switch preamp channels with

G-Major 2, connect the SWITCH OUT jack on

G-Major 2 to the channel switching jacks on

your preamp. This is not required for MIDI-

controllable preamps.

* Using the return jack of the combo’s effect

loop will in most cases give you a setup

similar to the power-amp setup described

above.

Using the regular input on the combo gives

you a “double-preamp” setup, where you can

use the tone controls on the combo to color

your sound. This introduces more noise than

when using the Loop Return connection, but

has become a popular setup with amplifiers

like Vox AC 30, Fender Bassman etc.
