G3S Atom
Introducing G3S Atom, it's G3 Atom, built with screens next to each footswitch.
Our G3 range delivers a new standard for effects pedal lovers seeking the ultimate control and tonal transparency. G3S Atom delivers the icing on the cake.
Built on the legacy of our award winning G2, The G3 range delivers the ultimate in signal path purity with possibilities never before seen in a pedalboard switcher.
Hear your effects as they were designed to sound, unencumbered by compromises inherent in a standard pedalboard setup.
We designed the G3 Atom, alongside G3, from the ground up. We worked tirelessly testing and retesting every aspect of its design to ensure we delivered the most robust, fully featured, tonally transparent switching system in the world.
G3S Atom is an expression of our passion. We compromised on nothing.
WHY G3S ATOM?
We wanted to offer a compact alternative to G3S without compromising on any of its features. We are delighted to introduce you to the G3S Atom. It has fewer presets per bank (up to 16) and 6 effects loops, but each of these loops can be stereo using a TRS cable.
Every other feature in G3S can be found in the G3S Atom, from its 99 banks of presets to its 20 programmable mappable MIDI messages preset. Ideal for physically smaller, powerhouse rigs looking for the ultimate in tonal flexibility.
The G3S Atom features 6 additional dedicated footswitch screens alongside the Main G3 Atom screen, in total providing preset labels for all 8 switches.
These OLED displays are designed to be visible in any light and on even the darkest of stages - all without drawing any more current away from your power supply, and each display featuring up to five characters.
We've continued to bring new features to G3S Atom, such as our Hi-Def Isolated Output (so no colouration through traditional transformers), and our free software updates have added a built-in stereo tremolo, the MIDI Sequencer, extra stompbox modes and full MIDI control of your loops and presets.
The new G3 Web Editor lets you see your whole rig: your presets and your signal path, all on one screen. Click a loop to turn it on or off, drag it to move it. You can label your 99 banks of presets, run backups, update software and build your set lists too, over Bluetooth or USB-MIDI. There's also our G3 Gig Companion app for iPhone and iPad, for your set lists and backups at the gig.
For all the things that G3S Atom does, we've never forgotten the most important thing and that's what G3S Atom doesn't do...
The G3 range will not load or colour your guitar tone, letting you hear your effects and amps as they were designed to sound.
The G3 delivered a new standard for those seeking the ultimate control and tonal transparency - and the G3S and G3S Atom are the icing on the cake.
KEY FEATURES
Ultra High-Res TFT LCD Display
7 x High Resolution Ultra-Bright* Screens: 1 x Main Screen 36mm x 48mm / 1.5" x 2" displaying Bank, Pre-set Number /Name, Pre/Post Gain levels and Menu System + 6 dedicated OLED Preset display screens 7mm x 25mm / 1/4" x 1". *Brightness Adjustable
Built-in Stereo Tremolo
A true stereo tremolo built right into G3S Atom. Three programmable sounds: Optical, Bias and Chop, on every preset or stompbox. Tap the tempo, or bounce it between two amps with ping-pong.
Up to 99 Banks of Presets
99 banks with up to 16 presets per bank, and can be configured for Preset or Stomp Box mode. That means unparalleled flexibility and control
Bluetooth
Built-in Bluetooth connects G3S Atom to the Web Editor on your Mac or PC, and to our G3 Gig Companion app for iPhone and iPad. For more information watch our APP VIDEO
Post Gain
True stereo programmable Post Gain giving complete control over the master volume output of each preset
GigRig Designed Optical Footswitches
Milled from stainless steel, our own-design OptoKick footswitch uses light instead of mechanics to do the foot switching, so there's nothing to break. We believe these are the most reliable footswitches in the world
Full MIDI In and Out
Each preset can send up to 20 PC and CC MIDI messages, with 2 expression pedal inputs. And now you can control G3S Atom from MIDI too: call any preset, switch loops and set gain levels from a controller or chart app. Learn more from our video HERE
6 Passive True Bypass Effects Loops
6 Passive True Bypass Matrix effects loops each of which can be configured for stereo using TRS cables
See your whole rig: your G3S Atom, your presets and your signal path, all on one screen. Click a loop to turn it on or off, drag it to move it. Chrome or Edge, Mac or PC.
True Stereo Delay Trails / Spillover
Stereo delay and reverb trails from any loop on any preset. You can see our video with more detailed information HERE
Pre Gain
Programmable Pre Gain on every preset which can buffer, attenuate or boost the input to your effects. Can be switched entirely out too
Hi-Def Transformer-less Isolation
2 separate outputs. Output 2 uses our Hi-Def isolation, breaking the ground loop with no transformer to colour your tone. It's phase reversible too, so no earth hum or phase issues between your amps.
Zero Confusion
Select a preset switch, choose your effects, outputs, pre/post gain, additional control switching if you want…done! No menus, no save button. See our Set Up video HERE
Built-in Parallel and Wet/Dry
If Wet/Dry and parallel signals are your thing, you can do it all in G3 Atom without the need for any external devices. Send different effects to different outputs, even phase correct your parallel signals. There's a video HERE with more information
