2. Now head to TheGigRig.com on your phone and navigate to the G3 support page. There you’ll find the info on the latest software update. If the update version on the website is a higher number, then it means it’s time to update your software. It won’t mess with any presets you’ve created, but on certain things like tap tempo etc you mate need to start those again.
3. Tap on the link on the site and you’ll download the sysex file on your phone.

Eagerly awaiting my G3 now ... looks killer!
Is there a way to “backup your backup”? thinking in terms of getting it off the phone and saved somewhere else (Google Drive etc). Would also be cool to allow for exchanging of backups, set lists etc. obviously the pedals in the loops may differ wildly but could allow for a cool community of sharing and experimenting.!
Yeah! 😍👍🏼
One question: how do presets work in songlists? Do I have to make them from scratch for every song or can I trigger existing presets? It could be a bit repetitive to program the same six pedal stadium solo sound that is used in 16 songs all over again. I guess I also have stompbox capability in songlist mode?
I love the bt connectivity! Setlist is great! It would be ace to be able to update more features etc, especially patch names :)

Any word on a Android version of the G3 App? I use a Samsung phone with my Windows PC. I love your G3 product, an absolute game changer for me using two amps with wet/dry and stereo effects.

@@TheGigRigDaniel Well done Dan, definitely need an Andriod version in the near future and a way of exporting the backup file for further security. I have several RJM products and they have great PC/MAC desktop editing and backup software. I definitely prefer the more intuitive way Gigrig stuff works though, well done.

but why is there a 6 month delay to receive? arrrgh. how can i pay 1400 usd for something i will receive when Jesus comes back? I weep bitterly.
Honestly this app is kind of shit. I bought this thinking I was going to be able to setup all of my presets and banks/songs and then just upload it to the unit and avoid the endless scrolling through menus to name all of my presets. Guess I should have watched every video known to god about it before buying this thing.
