G2 Features

1. Basic Functionality

BackBeat is a tactile device with a shaking mass. In principle, it's like a speaker without a cone. If you play the A string on your bass, the moving mass will oscillate 55 times a second. You'll feel this through your body, and your mind will instinctively know you're playing an A.

3. Configurations

BackBeat G2 signal path is shown in the above schematic using the provided Custom G2 Cable.

This is the same as the Standard Configuration except its using the Through jack on the G2. In this configuration you can use any cable you like.

In this configuration you're able to use G2 for practice. Play a song from your phone and play along with your Instrument. You can chose to mix the Headphone output with or without the mixed Rumble response.

You can send your entire IEM mix to the G2. The stereo headphone output maps to the TRS Auxiliary input.
