GigRig G2 Question...?

[AndrewW]

Hi everyone, just joined the forum today. Look forward to joining in with you all around here.

Ok... So I just received my G2 in the post today. Am still setting it all up. But so far is amazing.

My question relates to how it buffers the guitar signal and although I have searched, have found no answers that specifically relate to this. So there are 2 buffers: input and output. Both can be turned on or off. When I plug my guitar into G2, have no effects and both buffers are off, the signal going to the amp is hotter than if I plug directly into the amp.

So the questions are: Is this normal? Why? With both buffers off, isn't it completely bypassed?

Would appreciate hearing your experiences with this.

Of course it's no major issue as I can turn on the input buffer and turn it down slightly. But am curious why this is the case.

My gear (used in the above test
Fender US Tele Dlx -> RMC Wah -> G2 -> Marshall Vintage Modern 100W

Thank you!

Ok. You can all ignore that post. Doh!!! Not the best introduction I could have had to the forum lol.

The issue was on top of my messy bunch of wires that go everywhere I actually had the G2 output going through another effect before the amp. That's where the problem was!

Thanks anyway. So far G2 = Perfect!!!!

i have the old G1

sounds great and works great

the G2 is nice because it is a lot smaller and has Midi

Always have been as far as I know. Their website includes $ as a currency.
