MPX G2 Program Descriptions

9

The 250 MPX G2 programs are organized into three major groups:

1-99: Amp Input + FX Loop programs designed to be used with the MPX G2 connected to a guitar amp with an effects loop

Program Descriptions

100-149: Amp Input Only programs designed to be used with the MPX G2 connected to an amp with no effects loop

150-248: Stand Alone programs designed to be used with the MPX G2 connected directly to a mixer or power amp

Each group is broken down into smaller sections which we’ve titled to make it easier for you to find just what you’re looking for.

Most of the MPX G2 programs are already set up to take advantage of a connected MPX R1 MIDI Remote Controller. You’ll find references throughout to special controls as- signed to the MPX R1 pedal and its Toe Switch. Other pedals can be used but you will not be able to take advantage of the effects switching made possible with the MPX R1Toe Switch.

These programs are designed to work in the high-gain channel of your guitar amp, set for moderate gain. The Screamer and Wah effects are programmed to have high output levels to increase sustain when they’re pumped into an amp that’s already being pushed pretty hard. If you want to use this rig with a clean amp channel, you may want to decrease the Gain (Screamer) and Effect 2 (Wah) levels a bit.

This is one heck of a rig — our take on the Cry Baby wah, Uni Vibe and Tube Screamer

—all tweaked up to drive a guitar amp running with lots of gain. Use the MPX R1 Toe Switch to swap the Wah with the UniVybe. While the UniVybe is active, the pedal is a power amp volume control. The Screamer overdrive is bypassed when the program loads

—press Gain to turn it on. A/B turns up the echo level and feedback. (A is dry, B is wet). Tap sets the echo rhythm.
