Need helping with how to set up my rig on the GCX

[U2guitarman]

Ok, I've read the manual and I'm still confused on how to wire my rig to accomplish what I need.

Here's what I got: (all in a rack)

Korg SDD-2000 Delay
Korg SDD-1000 Delay

Line 6 Verbzilla
PRoCO Rat
Memory Man
Digitech synth wah


Right now those are the 6 things I have in my rig that I am wanting to hook to the GCX switcher. Basically all I want to do is to be able to call up whatever ever effect I need at a given time, sometimes that may be just one, sometimes multiple at a time. I think I can figure out how to use the ground control, Im just confused on how to connect it all to the swticher. One guitar, going into those 6 things, then going to an amp. Can anyone help me out>? Also, Korg SDD users, is there any way to hook up the sdd to the GCX to not only turn it off and on but also use the ground control to scroll my presets in the sdd unit (instead of having to go to the rack itself to turn the knob)


thanks!

For this setup you will run your guitar to the GCX Guitar In, then run the rear panel Guitar Out to the In of GCX Loop 1. Next you will connect the effects to the first six GCX Loops and run the Out of each of these GCX Loops to the In of the next GCX Loop, except for the Out of GCX Loop 6 will run to the Instrument input of your amplifier. Let us know if you run into any trouble.

Thanks so much! I got that up and running! Lastly, do you anything about actually using the ground control to scroll the presets in my rack mount korg sdd2000 delay?


Here is a link to the back panel of the delay if you can make out the semi fuzziness

Sorry I missed answering that part. The SDD2200 is directly MIDI controllable so with the Ground Control Pro you will be able to select whatever patch you want it to go to per Ground Control Pro preset.

A Ground Control Pro preset can send MIDI Program Changes to up to eight devices at once as well as control the loop status of up to four GCX switchers. The SDD2000 will be one of the MIDI devices which means that at each Ground Control Pro preset you can send the SDD2000 to the numbered patch you want rather than scroll through all of them to get to the sound you need.

I hope that helps!

So basically I need to run another midi cable from the ground control to the back of the sdd 2000? (along with the one going from the GC to the GCX?

No, you will need to run a 2nd MIDI cable from the GCX's MIDI Out to the SDD2000.
