Switch to bypass or mute
Setting the G2 to the bypass state
In play mode, press both [W]/[Q] foot
switches together briefly and release.
Setting the G2 to the mute state
In play mode, press both [W]/[Q] foot
switches together and hold for at least 1
second.
When you press both [W]/[Q] foot switches together while
playing your instrument, the bypass/mute condition is
activated. However, the sound may change momentarily
just before the condition is activated. This is because the
G2 switches to the next higher or lower patch when one of
the foot switches is pressed slightly earlier. (When you
cancel the bypass/mute condition, the original patch
number will be active again.)
This kind of behavior is not a defect. It is due to the very
high speed at which the G2 responds to patch switching.
To prevent the sound change caused by the above
condition, do not produce sound with your instrument until
the bypass/mute condition is fully established.
Play the string to tune
Play the open string to tune,
and adjust the pitch.
The left side of the display shows the
note which is closest to the current pitch.
Patch change at bypass/mute
The G2 incorporates an auto-chromatic tuner. To use the tuner function, the built-in effects must be
bypassed (temporarily turned off) or muted (original sound and effect sound turned off).
