I want to have a way to switch effects galore and the four channels of my mesa dual rectifier roadster
the only multi-effects processor on the market with four channel-switching relays is the uber-expensive TC Electronics G system.. I bought the thing and I have to say it's the most unreliable piece of equipment I've ever owned.. I'm also afraid the relays will hurt my mesa's amp-switching network... an isolated ground connection is required for each of the rear panel 1/4" external switching inputs on the mesa but the G-system requires Y-cables (which share a ground) to access the four relays (there are 2 stereo jacks for relays instead of 4 mono jacks, big problem)
multi-effects processors (and all that programming) are taking the joy out of playing and are seriously limiting my creativity.. my next plan is to buy a Line 6 MM4 and DL4, a good wah, and a BBE sonic maximizer and use a Digital Music Corp GCX Audio Switcher and Ground Control unit to do the amp-channel relays and turn effects on off in presets
anybody know of any other units which will control my amp channels and also turn on/off multiple effects loops? it would of course need presents (4 to 8 I'd say) in at least 20 banks (don't suggest the Carl Martin Combinator.. 18 programs is simply not enough)
btw.. what IS a BRADSHAW switching system?.. is it basically the same thing as the GCX and Ground Control unit?
