Voodoo Lab

I have two gcx switchers.

gcx 1 has the following
1.td1 boost
2.fuzzface
3.westbury boost
4.flanger
5.mxr 1500 delay
6.mxr 1000 delay
7.ultravibe
8.octavian

The second gcx controller
has my amps and 2 more efx.

I had this set where I would have 4 amps across the bottom
of ground control.

select an amp and then turn on the efx 12345678 of gcx 1
then edit and save to that button and select b channel of that button
and do the same thing on another amp y corded.

So two different stereo setups y corded per each channel
to ab between two sounds per channel.
I could continue on up to 36 presets
using 9 banks of 4 each.

Somehow I have messed with the loop setting or something
and now gcx 1 does not control the efx stompbox wise
on or off.

it does nothing until i get up to 5
then it starts changing loops ect.

How do i set this back where gcx 1
is all my efx 12345678 on or off
and gcx 2 is all my amps and 2 or 3
more efx ?

I just want to be able to hit 1234
and ab between 8 different sounds.
then bank up one and do that again
with 8 other sounds and again
and again.

I wish to set each amps midi patches the same
for the first 12 patches then 4 main amps
with the same sounds on first 12 settings.

I think between those and being able to
ab between heads and preamps with old tube amps
behind those will allow me what I am after.

I CANT GET SOUND OUT OF GCX 1 AT ALL NOW
I DO GET SOUND OUT OF GCX 2 IF PLUGGED IN
GUITAR WISE AND SELECTING 1234 ACROSS GROUND CONTROL.

BUT NOW MY 1-8 EFX STOMP BOX ON OR OFF SETUP
IS NOT WORKING WITH GCX 2.

HOW DO I FIX THIS TO WORK ?
MACSTER6@MAC.COM

I THOUGHT I HAD THIS FIXED AND THEN SOMETHING GLITCHED
I THINK ITS IN WHERE THE GCX AND THE LOOPS COMBINE.
I WAS GOING THROUGH THAT STUFF WHEN THINGS CHANGED FOR THE WORSE.

I tested the wires as well they are working so something internal
in gcx 1 is goofed up.

can anybody help ??
I JUST WANT 1-8 FOR STOMP BOX RACK OR FOOT GEAR ON OF OFF
AND THE 1234 ACROSS BOTTOM OF GROUND CONTROL
TO SELECT EACH AMP AND TO AB BETWEEN A HEAD AND PREAMP
ON EVERY CHANNEL.

THAT GIVES ME 8 COMBINATIONS OF SOUNDS IN 4 BUTTONS.

This is getting a little out of hand. Lets try to tackle one problem at a time before you go and change a lot of stuff. I need a little clearer description of just the problem you are now having with the GCX#1 not doing what you wish. Is it that the buttons labeled 1-8 are no longer controlling GCX#1 loops 1-8? If so, check to see what you have programmed these buttons to do.
1. Go into the Setup Mode by pressing both Setup buttons at the same time.
2. Press the Instant Access button.
3. Check what each button is set to control, the number at the far left of the screen indicates the Instant Access button number. The Select Down button scrolls down through the button assignments.

Let us know if that helps, or if this isn't the problem you were describing.

whoosh this is frustrating.

Gcx 1 has all the efx on it
Gcx 2 has the amps.

Gcx 1 all the lights work fine on or off
no signal passes through no efx no signal

Now gcx 2 which has all the amps
and just worked fine does not work
no sound no lights from anything.

The power light is on it blinks through both
when turned on but no lights light up.
On gcx 2 while buttons 1234 across the bottom of ground control
are being pushed.

Now there is no signal from either one.
I am just so bent from this I am going to sleep,

I need a wiring diagram please
you have the efx im using
they are in place wired.
no sound comes out of gcx 1
now no sound comes from gcx2

I moved the through to in cords
and I bet I messed that up when i did that.

Do i go from feed through to in ?
guitar out to in ?
then across gcx 1 then jumper out to in of gcx2 ?

Which gcx should I be plugging my guitar into out front
1 ?

See this is all goofed up
before the only sound I was getting was through gcx 2.
Now no sound from either.

No lights on gcx 2 at all when grayed out 1234 buttons are pushed.
Had lights on gcx 1 working on off.

I reset everything started over
renamed every button on 1234 banking up to into 30s.

Some of those had efx turned on.
Those all saved just fine.

The names on button 1234 saves just fine and stores.
when i hit those 1234 buttons the top efx on 1-8
turn on and off but no sound.

Today if i go in right now turn it on
and go to turn on the fuzz face on slot 2
of gcx 1.

It turns gcx 2 light on on slot 2 .
if i turn the fuzz off the light on slot 2 of second gcx goes off.

when I hit any of the buttons 1234 none of the lights on
gcx 2 light up.

unless I try to turn the fuzz on which is on 2 of gcx 1
when i do that the red light on gcx 2 where the amps are
lights up.

WTF OVER ?
