Re: Help choosing between GCX or Pedal Switcher

Re: pedal switcher problem: hum when plugging in second amp!

Have you tried just a single pedal switcher with nothing but the two amps to see if anything changes? Just guitar, pedal switcher, amps. Dom yeah, i unplugged everything else from the pedal switcher. even the power of the pedal switcher. and the hum is there on the first amp(soldano) even if its se...
