G Major 2 question

[crazyswede]

Hi everyone,

Sorry if this is obvious, but I'm new to this. If I want to set up a system with the GCX and GCP with 2 amp heads (Never using the amp heads together, but switching for tones: Amp 1 = clean / amp 2 = dirty) and want to use the G Major 2 for effects on both amps, can I do it with one G Major 2 or do I need 2 G Major units?

Also, I heard that there is a lag in switching FX with the G Major 2. Is this true? I would like to set up so that the trails from on sound continue when I switch to the next patch. Am I better off using a G Major?

Thanks in advance! Appreciate any advice.

The first part is being discussed here... http://www.voodoolab.com/forum/viewtopi ... 5081#p5081


As for any switching lag...To be totally clear, I own the first G-Major and I never found the patch loading to be significantly delayed even with all the effects blocks enabled. However,if you remove unnecessary effect blocks from your G-Major patches, the patches will load faster. A patch that comes up with one or two effects blocks enabled, and the rest of them at the ready, but in a bypass state in case you wish to add them via stomp box style control, will take longer to load than a patch that is written to only load the effects blocks that are enabled as part of the patch sound.

Spillover between patches is something that is set within the G-Major 2 itself.

I hope that helps!

Thanks John! I've also done some research into the lag on the GM2 and have learned of settings other users use to combat the lag. Your suggestion is a big help!

Sorry for the redundant question that you're addressing in the other thread.
