Excerpt from User Manual

Maybe you have never used a multi-effects processor with your guitar rig before. In this case you might be wondering whether you now have days of work ahead of you until G-Major 2 finally behaves as expected and adds to your creativity. But there’s really no need to panic! With the presets that come with G-Major 2, your basic needs are most likely covered, and you will be set to go within minutes. But chances are that you’ll want to go beyond Factory presets and customize G-Major 2 to your needs – and that won’t be a hassle either.

• “Stomp Box” Setup: If you are used to working with several serially connected pedal effects (“stomp boxes”), you might want to use G-Major 2 for a similar setup and enjoy its high quality effects. To do so, simply connect a MIDI pedal capable of sending MIDI Control Change messages to G-Major 2. Make some basic settings, and you can use this setup just like a bunch of regular stomp boxes where you simply turn effects on and off as required.
• Preset Setup - for ultimate changes in sound: Another approach would be to create unique presets for each sound, which you can then access by simply pressing a button on a MIDI foot-controller. Or you could combine this preset approach with the on/off stomp box setup mentioned above.
• Channel Switching: Changing your sound from a crisp, dry rhythm sound to an overdriven lead sound will (in addition to changing your effects preset) often involve switching your preamp’s or combo’s channels. If you want to switch amp channels via MIDI, you will normally need to purchase a separate MIDI switching system. Not so with G-Major 2. With G-Major 2’s built-in Relay Switch, you can switch between up to four channels on your preamp/combo.
• Modifiers: Instant Parameter Control If the methods outlined above still don’t give you the flexibility you are looking for, instant parameter control via G-Major 2’s Modifier section is probably the answer. Many algorithm parameters can be assigned to external MIDI controllers or an expression pedal. The possibilities here are endless. With an expression pedal, you cannot only control your effects’ level settings, you could also change e.g. the Panning Speed. Or how about using the expression pedal as a customized Whammy pedal?
