It seems like the most obvious thing in the world, but of course, if you have 99 banks with up to 16 presets per bank, you’re going to want screen next to the footswitches! Introducing G3S Atom, its Atom built with screens next to each footswitch… finally! 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, obsessively testing and retesting every aspect of its design to ensure we delivered the most robust, fully featured, tonally transparent switching system in the world.
