Descriptions
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
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.
Programs 1-99 are designed to be used with the MPX G2
connected to a guitar amp with an effects loop.

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.
1 G2 Blue
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.
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.
