I've been successfully running Ground Control Pro and GCX-1 with my Mesa Stiletto Head but I have recently added a Rectifier [in Stereo] to fill up and supplement for the lack of low end of the Stiletto. My problem is, I would like my Instant access to change the same loops of both GCX-1 and GCX-2 without having to retreat to using presets for the same function.

For example: I run an EQ [EQ-6 in Loop 4 of GCX-1 and EQ-7 in Loop 4 of GCX-2] in front of each Mesa and would like my EQ pedals to turn On and Off simultaneously. I would also like both Mesas to switch Channels when I step on Loop 7.

Is it possible to assign Instant Access buttons to affect both GCX 1 and 2 simultaneously?

GCX-1 with Mesa Stiletto Head in the following configuration:

Ground Control Pro: 4 Presets + Instant Access

GCX-1
Loop 1: TS-9 Overdrive
Loop 2: Sparkle Drive
Loop 3: Flange
Loop 4: EQ-6
-Into the front of the amp (Input).-
Loop 5: Rocktron Harmonizer
Loop 6: Eventide Delay
-Into the Effects Loop-
Loop 7: Channel Switching (from Ch1 to Ch2 on Mesa)
Loop 8: Solo Boost On/Off Function (on Mesa)

Not yet successful addition... GCX-2 with Mesa Dual Rectifier Head in the following configuration:
GCX-2
Loop 1: empty
Loop 2: empty
Loop 3: empty
Loop 4: EQ-7
-Into the front of the amp (Input).-
Loop 5: empty
Loop 6: Boss DD-3 Delay
-Into the Effects Loop-
Loop 7: Channel Switching (from Ch1 to Ch2 on Mesa)
Loop 8: empty

There is no provision to assign an instant access button to multiple functions from the Ground Control Pro. Normally, if you want to change multiple things, you would create presets.

It is possible to modify the GCX so that one loop function controls 2 loops. This is a fairly easy modification. For example, turning loop #7 on/off would actuate both loops 7 & 8. If you arrange the loops so that functions you want to parallel are in the same GCX, this is a possible solution.

by modification do you mean pulling out the soldering iron or is this a midi programming thing? this may help with my fx loop problem. thanks

Soldering iron...! Cut and splice a couple of control wires together.
