    Extension kit was the thing I was looking for for years. I havent bought a g2 because I kept on looking for midi controlled pedal switchers to use with it to put it in my rack. Now it has everything! Perfect unit

    Hello Daniel, is it possible to extend the normal/original G3 with a additional extension to have more loops? And control the extension via the normal G3? That would open more possibilities and you could bring 12 stomp boxes and additional 6 stereo effects.

Also, will the G3 MIDI controller be part of the same package, or do we need to buy it separately (I ask you that because I don't find the G3 MIDI controller on the website) ? Thank you, Cheers !

    When using the G3 Extension Kit is it possible to have some pedals in the G3 Controller's loops and some pedals in the G3 Extension Kit's loops? In other words, I want some pedals to be in front of the amp and controlled with the G3 Controller, and some pedals in the amp's effects loop controlled with the G3 Extension Kit. That way I don't need long audio runs from my amp's effect loop out to the G3 Controller and back to my amp's effects loop in. Or,... is it an all or nothing deal? In other words, all pedals must be in the G3 Controller or all pedals must be in the G3 Extension Kit? Thanks! Congratulations on your product roll out! That must be huge load off your mind!

    I think it's all or nothing as you said. As the Extensions Loop are numbered the same, I think the floor controller connected with the 7 pin DIN cable is sending the same change message it would do by itself, same twelve loops, just audio taken from a different source, so to speak.

    @@TheGigRigDaniel chiming in here - it would be really helpful to extend one G3 with an Extension to double the possible loops! Stereo is a welcome and long sought after addition, but it brings it down to only 6 loops. With G3 + extension loops it would be possible to have up o 12 stereo loops, ie. 6 before and 6 after the preamp(s). I know that this basically could be hacked together using two G3s and programming presets according, but with such a new modular platform it should be easy to get one G3 to control two units. Or a separate controller meant for 12 loops.

    Hello, I have a challenging question for you 😉 Is it possible to connect the G3 Extension Kit to an Amp input , but also to the FX loop of the same amp, in such way that we can decide what pedals go before and after the pre-amp section of the Amp ? I am ready to invest some money on your good stuff but I need some feedback first ^^ Thanks a lot ! 😊

    This is absolutely crazy. You have to take apart the guts of the device to get it to work? You can't just purchase the extension kit and connect it via 7 pin din cable and have the G3 controller the loop switcher. You can purchase for instance, a boss loop switcher and can control it from any midi controller without taking the thing apart.

    Think you’ve got the wrong end of the stick here beekers. You can of course control G3 from any external MIDI device. The EXT kit is totally different. It takes the audio out of G3 and puts it in a rack unit. There’s no extra MIDI to program, you still have the G3 floor unit at your feet but with the audio section and your pedals in a rack. You can buy it Pre assembled from us or you can buy the EXT kit separately and do it yourself.
