소리가 안 나거나 소리가 간헐적으로 들립니다.

• 연결 확인: Ensure all guitar, amplifier, and effects loop cables are securely plugged in and in the correct jacks.
• 전원 공급 장치: Verify that the G-System is receiving power and the power cable is firmly connected.
• 볼륨 레벨: Check the input and output levels on the G-System, as well as your amp앰프의 볼륨.
• Bypassed Effects: Ensure that the desired effects or loops are engaged and not bypassed.
• 외부 페달: If using external pedals in the loops, bypass them one by one to identify if a specific pedal is causing the issue.

Unexpected Effect Behavior

• Preset Check: Verify that you are on the intended preset and that its parameters are set correctly.
• 전역 설정: Some settings can affect all presets. Check the global settings menu for any unintended configurations.
• 공장 초기화 : As a last resort, a factory reset can restore the unit to its original settings. Consult the full manual on the TC Electronic website for instructions on performing a factory reset, as this will erase all user presets.
