switching amp fx loops
switching amp fx loops
hi. my problem is i use two amps and want to use the same fx chain on both(at seperate times). i want to be able to assign which amp has the active loop, and still send a return signal to the other. i've figured it out, but it takes four loops of the gcx to do so. as i do alot of improvisation i would like to be able to do this as an instant access switch, but four switches at once is a bit impractical. also i would like to know how it works for presets if im using two ground controls so i have 16 instant access switches. cheers

Re: switching amp fx loops
here is my diagram. i have two gcx, a ground control. amps are mesa stiletto ace and mesa electra dyne. half the pedals are in front of the amp, some in loop. like i said i want to switch which amp is using the loop fx, but the other loop must return. the whammy is being controlled midi by the switcher. i have considered using a pedal switcher for the fx before the amp, but want to keep as much off the floor as possible. the way i have shown, will work but, is completely impractical as i would need to hit all four loops at once. i want to change fx loops without using presets on the ground control.
