GCP + AxeII, best Volume and best Expression pedals?

[mpovoden]

Hello All,

Been a while. I'd like to use 1 pedal for volume control, 1 pedal for expression through my GCP to control my AxeII. Are there any that are better than others for the desired functions stated?

Secondly, this GCP is going to be serving a dual purpose. On one hand, it'll be used to control my AxeII and that rig unto itself. On the other hand, it'll be used to control my 2 amp set up, some Eventide's in a loop, and a MIDI controllable amp.

I understand the GCP isn't the brain, just the access to the brain - is this correct? I ask this in the sense that, I'm under the assumption, when plugged into my analogue (2 amp, pedalboard + effects in loop) set up, it'll work dandy providing it's been programmed to work with the Eventides and amp. I can unlpug it, plug it into my Axe-II set up, and carry on with a different set of functions mapped out on the GCP - correct?

Thank you,
Mo

If you name each of the MIDI devices you will be controlling and assign each device a unique MIDI channel, you will be able to control independent rigs. For the presets, you can dedicate different banks to each rig. Instant Access buttons might be a bit more tricky to program for independent rigs since they are set globally for the MIDI Channel and Control Change message sent.

Alternatively, you can program your Ground Control Pro for each rig and save the memory dump of each unique setup. Whenever you switch to a different rig, you would just re-load the memory dump for that rig.

I hope that helps!


p.s. The Ground Control Pro is most certainly the "brain" when it comes to MIDI control
