INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your G•Major Effects processor.
If you have never used a multi-effects processor with your guitar rig, you might be wondering at this
point whether you have placed yourself in a position where you have days of work ahead of you,
until your G•Major behaves as you please and adds to your creativity. No need to panic!
With the presets already existing your basic needs are most likely covered and you will be set to go
within minutes.
But chances are that you probably will like to go beyond factory presets and find a more
personalized usage of the G•Major - and that won’t be a hassle either.
S
tomp Box Setup
If you are used to working with stomp boxes you might want to use the G•Major for a similar setup
and simply benefit from high quality of effects. With any MIDI pedal sending MIDI Control Change
values the G•Major can be setup and used just as a bunch of regular stomp boxes where you
simply turn effects on and off.
Preset Setup - for ultimate changes in sounds
Another approach would be creating unique presets for each sound accessible via a single press on
a MIDI foot-controller.
Or - you could combine the preset-approach with the on/off-stomp box setup mentioned above.
Channel Switching
Changing your sound from a crisp clean dry rhythm sound to an overdriven lead sound, will often
involve channel switching of your preamp or combo in addition to changing your effects preset. To
be able to switch amp-channels via MIDI the investment of a separate MIDI switching system is
often implied. Not with the G•Major. With the built in Relay Switching on the G•Major you are able to
switch between up to 4 channels on you Preamp/Combo.
Modifiers - Inst
ant parameter control
If utilizing the above still doesn’t give you the sought after flexibility you are looking for, instant
parameter control via the Modifier section of the G•Major is probably the answer. Many algorithm
parameters can be assigned to an external MIDI controller or Expression pedal. The possibilities
here are endless. With an Expression Pedal you can not only control any level of a specific effect,
you could also e.g. change the Panning Speed - or what about using the Expression pedal as a
customized Whammy pedal.

BASIC SETUPS
Connecting and Setting up the G•Major
There are numerous ways of hooking up guitar rigs. On these pages we have listed some of the
most commonly used setups. We recommend using serial setups where the entire signal passes
through the G•Major. This will give you the maximum benefit from all effect algorithms. As stated
several times in this manual, you should NOT worry about coloring of your sound as TC Electronic
uses top quality converters that does NOT color your tone.
Serial Setup with Preamp and Power Amp
• Connect the Output of your preamp to
the Input of the G•Major.
• Connect the Output of the G•Major to
the Input of your power amp.
• To be able to switch preamp channels
with the G•Major connect the Relay
Jack connection on the G•Major to the
channel switching jacks on the preamp.
(This does not apply for MIDI preamps).
Serial Setup with Preamp and one or two
Combo Amps
• Connect the Output of your preamp to the
Input of the G•Major.
• Connect the Output of the G•Major to either
the Input or the Loop Return of the Combo or
Combos.
• To be able to switch preamp channels with
the G•Major, connect the Relay Jack
connection on the G•Major to the channel
switching jacks on the preamp. (this does not
apply for MIDI preamps).
Using the return on 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 Effect Return connection, but has
become a popular setup with amplifiers like Vox
AC 30, Fender Bassman etc.

BASIC SETUPS
Connecting and Setting up the G•Major
Parallel Setup using a Line Mixer
• Connect the Output of your preamp to the
Input of the Line Mixer.
• To be able to switch preamp channels with
the G•Major connect the Relay Jack
connection on the G•Major to the channel
switching jacks on the preamp.
(this does not apply for MIDI preamps).
• Connect the Line Mixer Loop Outputs to the
G•Major Inputs and the G•Major Outputs to
the Line Mixer Loop Inputs.
• Connect the Line Mixer main Outputs to
your amplification.
The Illustration shows Combos - these could
also be a power amp, and the Preamp could
easily be the Preamp-section of a Combo
amplifier.
Combined Setup with Regular Effect
Pedals, a G•Major and a MIDI pedal
• Connect the Combo’s Effect loop Out to the
G•Major Input.
• Connect the G•Major Output to the Effect
loop Input.
• Connect your guitar to your pedals and your
pedals to the Input of the Combo as usual.
• If you wish to switch presets on the G•Major
e.g. including Channel switching of the
Preamp/Combo you should also connect a
MIDI pedal to the G•Major and use the
Relay Switching function.

parameters such as Input/Output settings,
analog/digital, Status Bit and Dither. For any
successful operation of the G•Major these
parameters must be correctly set!
All parameters in the I/O menu are “”general”
parameters that are not stored with the presets.
Basic Operation
• Press I/O
• Select parameters using the PARAMETER
wheel in the Control Section.
• Change values using the EDIT wheel.
Input
Select between Analog and Digital.
Analog Input
When "Analog" is selected the G•Major
automatically defaults to the internal 44.1kHz
clock as Sample Rate.
Digital Input
When "Digital" is selected the G•Major attempts
to lock to the S/PDIF Input. During the lock-up
period the LOCK icon blinks indicating none or
unacceptable clock, and the Outputs are
muted.
When lock is achieved the LOCK icon turns
solid, and the Outputs are un-muted.
Clock
Analog Input
When Input source is analog the following
Sample Rates are available:
Internal 44.1kHz : The G•Major runs at
internal 44.1kHz.
Internal 48kHz : The G•Major runs at
internal 48kHz.
Digital : The G•Major locks to the
incoming Digital clock.
Digit
al Input
When Input Source is digital the following
Sample Rates are available:
Internal 44.1kHz : The G•Major runs at
internal 44.1kHz.
Internal 48kHz : The G•Major runs at
internal 48kHz.
Digital : The G•Major locks to the
incoming Digital clock.
