Then go to your Edit menu using the ARROW keys, double-click on the effect block your wish to setup first and you are on your way.

There tend to be two main directions in controlling Guitar sound via any pedal board.
A – Full preset change for radical changes
B – “Stomp box” type where only single effects are turned on and off.
With the G-Force you don’t have to decide which is for you. With any MIDI board you can utilize the advantages of both the “Preset change” and “Stomp Box” idea described above.

Setting up
Instead of having to figure out which MIDI messages your board actually sends out and dialing these values into the G-Force – simply let the G-Force detect received messages in the “learn” mode.

Example
Your MIDI board has 10 switches and one Expression pedal attached. 5 switches on the board sends program changes and 5 send control changes. On the five switches sending program changes you setup your radical sound changes e.g. 1 for clean, 1 for Chrunch and 1 for Overdrive. The last two you might use for special sounds. Each of these sounds you program with basic effects. The five switches sending Cc Messages can be used as on/ off switches for e.g. Delay, Chorus, Reverb, Compressor, and the last maybe for Tap Tempo. It is really up to you.

Expression Pedals
Use up to eight connected Expression pedals to change parameter values. Which parameter the expression pedal controls, is set at preset level. This means that even with a single expression pedal connected you can vary its function from preset to preset. In one preset it could act as Volume control, in another as a Whammy – or what about floating control of Reverb level, the Depth of a Chorus or…??? The options are endless – and you CAN really express yourself!

• Where you assign Expression pedals to specific parameters
• Setup the Pitch of the notes you play to control the amount of effect to be added to your sound depending on the pitch of the note you play! Imagine playing with completely dry sound at the low strings, – then as you move towards higher pitched notes the G-Force automatically detects that a higher pitch is played and the reverb output level is increased
• Let the dynamics of your playing control any parameter. You probably know this from the classic Touch Wah effect – or maybe in a Dynamic Delay where the Delay output is dampened during played phrases and increased as you “breathe” in between phases
• Adding also ADSR – Attack Decay Sustain Release and LFO’s, you can’t come to any other conclusion than with the-G Force – anything is possible

The G-Force holds a Simple and an Advanced Reverb mode. In Simple mode you can pre-select room types and choose from: Room, Club, Hall, Church, Cathedral, Grand Hall, Fast Decay, Slow Decay, Plate and Spring. All of these can of course be twisted to your liking using all standard reverb parameters such as: Decay, PreDelay and Color.

With the Advanced mode selected you have less predefined types to chose from but more detailed control via various parameters thus giving you extended flexibility when it comes to designing your own rooms.

Dynamic Delay as known from the TC 2290:
This feature that dampens the Output of the Delay while you play a phrase and increases the Delay Output level in between phrases can also be setup in the G-Force. It is done via the Mod Matrix using an Envelope on the Delay Output. The fastest way to set this up is using one of the factory presets with Dynamic Delay. Detailed explanation can be found in the manual.

• Delay control
• Phase Reverse
• LFO curve selection (Sine or Square)
• LFO Phase 0, 90 and 180 degrees.
• Golden Ratio which in “on” position ensures a perfect balance between Speed and Depth for the original smooth Chorus effect. For wilder less traditional Chorus sound, the Golden Ratio should be set to “off

Flanger
Similar build and parameters as the Chorus described above but with additional Feedback and Crossfeed parameters.

Intelligent Two Voice
This algorithm is used to generate additional one or two voices in the key and after any scale of your choice. Pick a scale from:

• Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian – Diminished, Whole Tone, Dom. Seven, Diminished Whole Tone, Melodic minor, Harmonic minor, Major or minor Pentatonic, Blues or design your own Custom Scale.
• Then select at which interval your voices should be added – e.g. a third above and a fifth below.
  Play – and you have instant harmonies.

Detune and Delay on each voice can be set to give a more natural sounding harmony.

Fixed 1 Voice and Fixed 2
This is typically used to create e.g. an Octaver effect or to add a static fifth or ?? – Control the generated Pitch with an External Expression pedal and you have a true Whammy function.

Dual Detune
The Dual Detune effect is typically used for a static Chorus-like function. You can simply add one or two voices slightly out of tune with the played tone.

Simple Tremolo
The most common type of Tremolo. Speed, Depth and Mix level can be controlled.

Advanced Tremolo
The advanced mode holds the same basic parameters and LFO control in addition. With the LFO control you can select between Square and Sine Curve patterns and the Phase of these patters can be set to 0, 90 or 180 degrees. The Sine Curve type is the most commonly used, but you will enjoy the Square mode if you are aiming at rhythmic abrupt patterns.

Simple
The Simple Panner pans the signal from Left to Right in accordance with the set Speed.

“Surround” Panner
Though we are not talking about a true six channel 5.1 system, a surround feel can be created using the added Center and Width parameters in the Surround Panner mode.
