GCX Loops Full Up - Help incorporating Chorus

Post by EvileOL »

Hi guys

With my current setup, I'm using all 8 loops of the GCX, but I'm wanting to incorporate a Chorus pedal for my CLEAN stuff - I just can't figure out if it's possible to add anywhere (and include it in the FX loop)

To go clean I simply have just the Homebrew CPR Mini turned on to kill the gain of the crunch channel - is there any way to add a chorus into the below setup to have it along with the CPR Mini?

Guitar>
1. Tuner
2. Furman PQ3
3. Homebrew CPR Mini
4. EHX Micro POG
5. Homebrew Powerscreamer
6. Rocktron Hush Guitar Silencer
> Fender EVH 5150III

FX Send>
7. MXR EQ
8. Delay
> FX Return

The easiest way to do this would be to put the chorus into Loop 3 with the Mini. You'll have to experiment to see which configuration sounds best, but with what you've got right now, plug the Mini Out into the Chorus In and the Chorus Out into the Loop 3 Return. That should do it, but you may want to try the chorus ahead of the Mini, too, just to see if it sounds better that way.

Hope this helps...

As a rule of thumb, time-based effects are usually placed in the loop to process an over-driven signal. Since you only want to process a clean signal, placing your chorus in Loop 3 should work quite nicely.
