The pedal provides both instrument and auxiliary inputs, and an output section with both a mono 1/4" output and a stereo 1/4" output, useful for monitoring through headphones, implementing stereo effects, or routing stereo signal to interfaces, PAs, mixers, and recording devices. A controller input will allow you to hook in compatible expression control pedals, such as the FP02M. At 7.1 x 9.2 x 2.3", the G3n is portable enough to carry from gig to gig, and at 2.8 lb, it's lightweight enough to present no burden whatsoever. With this pedal, you can easily replace—or augment—your existing pedalboard.
