Finally adding a GCX....Gulp....

[GoVols64]

After studying manual, this site and several web postings I see some close but not exact matches to what I would like to accomplish.

Goal is for GCX set up with two pedals in front of Triaxsis (that is simple) => Triaxsis => G-Force (in parallel) with stereo out to 2:One-Hundred.

I feel like the Triaxsis into the G-Force causes a lot of clipping thus the need to run in parallel. Do you just assign separate loops to Triaxsis and G-Force then activate?

Running everything via Midi w/GCP.

Thanks much for any help/feedback. Happy New Year!

Am I asking a bad question or missing detail? Happy to provide more detail if helpful. The GCX should be here in a few days so any help is greatly appreciated. @JohnClark I tried to DM but message is stuck in Outbox?

Thanks!

Hi there,
You can run the GForce in the loop of the Triaxis. If you do run it after the Triaxis, you are able to use it as a volume control. You can also use 2 loops of the GCX to turn the GForce on and off.
I don’t have a GForce but I do have a couple of GMajor 2’s, I run in parallel mode with the effects and have Kill Dry on.

Thanks for the reply, really appreciate it! I have heard the FX Loop on the Triaxsis isn't the best but may play with it both ways and see what works.

For my clarity in option B you are saying something like this:

Loop 1 send/return pedal 1
Loop 2 send/return pedal 2
Loop 3 Triaxsis Out A => GCX Loop 3 Return
Loop 4 GCX Send to G-Force Mono in (L)
Loop 4 G-Force L out to Loop 4 Return, Loop 4 Send to 2:100 L input
Loop 5 G-force R out to Loop 5 Return, Loop 5 Send to 2:100 R input

-Or- more of an A/B set-up where one loop includes G-Force and the other excludes it? I guess my confusion is where I am running the sends to the 2:100 from...

By volume control I assume you mean using the G-Force in/out levels?

I was running tri and G in serial (Tri => Stereo in G-Force => Stereo Out to 2:100 but G:force was always clipping.... felt like the Tri signal gave it fits at even modest volumes.

Thanks for the help and apologies if I am screwing this up; new to the GCX and it feels like I am overcomplicating this.....

Sorry for the late reply!

In order to run the G-Force in parallel, you would need some sort of Mixer to combine the Wet and Dry signals. Do you have a line mixer for this?

It has been a while since I've touched a G-Force but it does have some settings for the Input gain in the I/O Setup menu that can cause issues if set incorrectly. You may want to check there to try to address the clipping issue.

John,
Thanks so much, really appreciate your response. I had figured the mixer would be needed so I’ll just get a Y cable for stereo.

Thanks for the tip on the I/O settings, will dig in and see if I am missing something.

Last question, given the beautiful SM+ is long discontinued any experience with other line mixers that are close to the quality of that unit?

Thanks again John, hope you are safe and well.

Hi there,
Yes the volume can be controlled by the GForce input and output, the 2:100 is extremely loud, I have one also. The 2:90 is more controllable and I use this more often.

How you have it will work good. If later on, which by the sound of it you will, a mixer will work good to. This is what I have in my setup.

Here’s a reference to mine, it may help you a bit. Or not. Get back to us if you need more help.
