HELP me JohnClark! - GCP & GCX Configuration

Post by fkurty »

I am new to this forum and to Voodoo Lab's as I just purchased a Ground Control Pro and a GCX Rack.
So basically I'm a novice when it comes to configuration and connections using midi etc... I am pretty much looking for the best configuration where I can change my presets on my preamp and fx processor but also control a couple of pedals... My current gear includes the follow:

Line 6 G90 Wireless
Preamp - Marshall JMP-1
FX Processor - T.C. G Major 2
Ibanez Tube Screamer
ISP Decimator pedal
Dunlop Wah Pedal

Using the Ground Control Pro in addition with the GCX how can I configure a setup where I would be able to freely change preamp & fx units channels have the Tube Screamer and ISP Noise Gate turn on for high gain presets and be off for clean presets and also freely turn on and off FX's within a preset ... OH and also when I use the WAH at any time have volume boost.

Is this possible?

Please be gentle, I am a novice when it comes to setup but not when it comes to actually playing guitar.

I need help please

I don't know about the "best" but if I were handed this gear and needed to rock out I'd start off like this...

This would let you do everything you are asking for with room to add more pedals if you ever needed to.

With the Ground Control Pro set up in 4 Presets per Bank mode the bottom four buttons will send the JMP-1 and the G-Major 2 to whatever numbered sound you like as well as recall any GCX Loop combination you want. The upper two rows of buttons will be the Instant Access buttons that can be set to directly control individual GCX Loops or individual Effects Blocks within any G-Major 2 patch and even trigger the G-Major 2 bypass.

Try it out and let us know how it goes!

Hi John,
Thank you for the quick turn around on your input, and especially for the attachment. I will definitely try this out over the next couple of days and let you know.

Thanks again for your assistance
