GCX Channel switching

Post by Legacy »

Hi there
Is there any way to switch 2 channel amp without using 2 loops of GCX?
Is it possible to use only on loop?
Thanks

What kind of amp? If it just needs one contact to ground, yes you can.

But only if the amp wants a momentary switch, no? Can't say as I've ever seen an amplifier foot switch that uses momentaries, but then again my Profiler does, so maybe it is possible. I've been wrong before.

They latch. I've used them to switch channels on a MB express 5:50 and 2 loops to switch between the 3 channels of a TGA-3.

Usually this is done with just one loop since it is really just a simple Channel A/B happening to make the change.
What amp are you looking to switch?
