Hey guys. I'm new to the forum. I've read the manuals and searched the forum but I haven't found the answers in looking for. I'm wanting to move my pedal setup to a rack system with a GCP foot switch and two GCX switching units to manage my pedals and only have the ones needed in my signal chain. My question is that I want to use my Ernie Ball volume pedal and Dunlop Crybaby Wah and I'm not sure how that is possible from what I've read about the outputs on the GCP. I know the volume pedal can be used off the GCP. Could someone give me my options on how I can still use my wah pedal?
I look forward to figuring this out so I can feel confident in adding these products to my rig along with my two PP2's. Thanks in advance!

Re: Need help in figuring out my options
The simplest way would be to put your Wah pedal first in the signal chain, in front of your first GCX, and your Volume pedal last in the signal chain, after your second GCX, as in:
Guitar -> Wah Pedal -> GCX-1 -> GCX-2 -> Volume Pedal -> Amp
Guitar -> Wah Pedal -> GCX-1 -> GCX-2 -> Volume Pedal -> Amp

Re: Need help in figuring out my options
Thanks for the reply! Any recommendations on a way to control it via the GCP when using a rack mounted wireless system?
Re: Need help in figuring out my options
I would start by trying the Wah in loop 1 of the first GCX; run send/return cables from the GCX out to your wah on your pedal board. For the volume pedal, I'd do the same but run the send/return cables between the last GCX loop you are using for effects out to the volume pedal and back to the amps input.

Wireless receiver in the rack and wah out on the floor...

BAM!
Personally, I've never liked putting a wah in a GCX loop. The way I look at it is that my foot has to be on the wah to use it anyway.
