Tap Tempo Question

Post by dropD »

I would like to extend my GCP switches but with a dual switching which will be connected to both GCP pedal inputs (1 + 2).

1. I guess the switch has to be a momentary type, can it be a simple 2 poles switch (SPST ?)or it has to be one of the mentioned above ?
2. The inputs of the GCP are stereo and the switch is using basically only 2 poles, correct ? - Where do I solder the 3rd wire that comes from the cable which runs from the GCP input ?
3. Do I need to define the GCP in another way then I do it for expression pedals ?
4. As mentioned the GCP external inputs wiring is stereo, isn’t there a way to use 2 switches per input, each for 1 hot wire and with a
common ground such as in the pic attached below :

Will each switch is giving its own midi cc or both actualy eare the same midi comand (16?) ?

Thanks.

Clever idea, but unfortunately it wont work as you had hoped. Each Expression Pedal Port will accept a single Latching switch or expression/volume pedal.

What is it that you are ultimately trying to control?
