Loop a fuzz without buffer

[fournij]

Hi
I want to build a rack and a switching system using the voodoo lab's product and I have 2 questions.

Here's the list of equipement I want to handle :

- Mesa Boogie Roadster head (4 channels, reverb and solo)
- Fulltone fuzz 69
- Fulltone ultimate octave
- classic wah dunlop
- rack tuner
- mxr dyna comp
- mxr eq 10
- mxr carbon copy
- mxr phase 90
- dunlop rotovibe
- boss tremolo
- xotic bb
- lovepedal plexi
- ibanez tube screamer
- mxr flanger
- mxr micro amp


First, I want to loop each pedal so I will need 2 GCX. I want to control the 4 channels of my mesa and I want to use a voodoo lab "control switcher". Of course a Ground Control Pro. My question is : There's any issue using a combinaison of GCX and "Control Switcher" ?

Second question : Is about my Fulltone Fuzz 69. This Fuzz is a Germanium one. The tone is amazing BUT you need to feed it without a buffer, strait after the guitar. The problem I have I want to add it on a loop of a GCX and I want to use the integrate buffer of the GCX too. My question is : How can I use my Fuzz without buffer inside a loop and use the buffer of the GCX after the fuzz ? I have an idea but I want to check with you before starting my project :

Guitar cable -->IN loop one
Fuzz 69 on loop one
OUT loop one --> front Guitar IN
rear Guitar OUT --> IN loop two ...

Is it the way to bypass the buffer for my fuzz ?

thanks

Your routing is correct for placing the buffer after the fuzz. You can use the Feedthru between the Out of GCX Loop 1 and the Guitar In so you won't have to run a cable out and around the rack.

Good Luck!

Oops, sorry... You didn't plug it in yet did you!?!? I meant to warn you first about the extreme fire hazard and radioactive squirrels with leather pants!!!


No, there are no issues using these together. The Control Switcher will act as four GCX loops. You will need to enable a third GCX within the Ground Control Pro if you are already using two actual GCX units. Specific setup instructions can be found in the Control Switcher manual under the Use With Ground Control Pro section.

Good Luck!

I want to be sure, is that mean :

Guitar cable -->IN loop one
Fuzz 69 on loop one
OUT loop one --> feed thru rear
feed thru front --> front Guitar IN
rear Guitar OUT --> IN loop two

That is precisely what I mean.
