GCP, GCX, Marshall jvm 410 and stuff

Post by Pilsnaer »

Hi!
I have really tried to find what I´m looking for, both here and on many youtube videos, but no luck..
Let´s se if I can get help from you people!

Here is what I want to do:

I want to have the following at my feet:
Ground control pro
Boss tuner pedal
Boss Volume pedal (not powered)
Cry baby Wah (powered)

This should connect to the GCX Audio switcher in a rack, where I have a bunch of pedals in the loops:
Tube screamer
Volume booster
Delay
Phaser
Flanger

I also want to control my Marshall JVM 410H channel switching via midi.

As a bonus It would be sweet to get my Boss SY-300 Guitar Synthesizer in the chain somewhere! :D
I dont need to control the SY-300 program changes from the GCP, I can do that with It´s own switches.
Maybe it should be located on the pedalboard at my feet?

Please help me how to connect everything, I´m a newbie at this!

Hi there,
You should be able to do this, here goes. Does the tube screamer or the volume boost have a buffer? Are you using the TubeScreamer as a clean boost or a drive? You can bypass the Guitar in at the start and go straight into loop 1 instead and use the guitar in and guitar out for the volume pedal later if you wish. The SY-300 can go in front of the amp, with the wah or in the loop with the volume pedal. You can put the volume pedal in a loop if you wish. Volume pedal in the loop gives you full drive from the preamp and pedals at lower volumes.


Guitar -> Tuner -> Wah -> ?SY-300? -> GCX Guitar In Front -> Guitar Out Rear -> Loop1 in -> loop 1 out -> TubeScreamer -> Loop 1 Rtn -> Loop 1 Out -> Loop 2 In -> Loop 2 Snd -> Volume Boost -> Loop 2 Rtn -> Loop 2 Out -> JVM In -> JVM Snd -> Rear Feedthru -> Front Feedthru -> Volume Pedal -> ?SY-300? -> Loop 5 In -> Loop 5 Snd -> Flanger/Phaser/Delay in any order depending on what you what from your sound -> Loop 5 Rtn -> so on, can leave Loop 8 free for the future -> Loop 8 Out -> JVM Rtn.

See how you go, hope this helps you out.
GCPro, GCX, Pedal Power 2+, Pedal Power AC.
And some other stuff.
