Ok so I've ran two heads in stereo before just for fun at the house but now I'm want to try my setup live and need a board that switches midi, and channels, loops on and off, the works. Ground Control Pro?
The old setup I played around with was two heads running through a Mesa 4x12 and didn't really like the sound. My main gigging rig has been a Mesa Mark V and 4x12 with TC GMajor in the loop and love it. A few weeks ago I got a Mini Rectifier and Mesa 2x12 cab and that alone sounds killer too. Well now (just for fun) I've been running the Mini Rec through the 2x12 and the Mark V through the 4x12 and sending my guitar cable to a Boss TU2 tuner and splitting the signal from there to both amps. Have the V through the 4x12 wet with GMajor in the loop and controlling the effects with a cheap FCB 1010 Midi switcher and running the Mini to the 2x12 dry. This setup sounds so amazing to me clean and dirty. I know I can switch channels with the GMajors relays like I did with my old Dual Rec but heard it was bad on the amps switching matrix.
So I'm looking for some suggestions about having one single board for all this to switch channels on Mini and MarkV and same time, and possibly running the GMajor through the Mini too. Would a Ground Control Pro do all this? Would it maybe be best to get a G System? I love TC effects and I'm trying to get a true wet and dry stereo setup going with just one board to switch all channels and effects. If a Ground Control would eliminate my midi board, MKV footswitch and Mini Rec footswitch I might just go that route.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks
This is what I'm dealing with on the floor...
And this is my setup.....
