Alternative ways to amp channel switch???

[Steveda]

Hello. I have a question and I apologize in advance if this has been beaten to death. My question is that I am looking for a solution to change an effects unit (Haven't purchased one yet) as well as my amp channels. I have heard about the Ground control unit, but what exactly would I need? Any recommendations on a rack effects unit? Also, what price tag is all this stuff? Currently I just have a delay, but I would like more, and quite frankly, I would like to have an "all in one" pedal of sorts. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I have heard a ton about TC Electroncis for processor, what esle is available that would work good for my Dual rec? I am planning on having the effects loop mod done if that makes any difference.

Thanks again for your help and input.

Steve.

It's a fairly wide area to cover so it all depends on what you want and how much you are looking to spend. For example, you could use a ground control pro to midi control an fx processor. You would be able to save presets and create a virtual pedalboard on the ground control pro, where instant access switches 1-8 can be assigned to control individual fx in the rack processor. If you get a DMC gcx switcher, you could do the same thing and switch your amp channels/functions and have some loops for later use.

If you want to control only a rack fx unit and your channel switching, I think the behringer foot controller will allow you to do it because it has relays that will also switch amp channels.

I use a TC G-Major for effects with my 3 Ch Triple, but not for switching - I use an Axess Electronics CFX-4 for that, so I have channel and solo switching. I use a Ground Control (the original one) as a midi pedal.

If you're looking to use pedals with your amp, then Ground Control Pro/GCX combo is probably the most economical bet...

CFX4 to switch channels and a FX1 as a midi controller. Both from Axess Electronics.

Check out the GCX Audio Switcher. It can switch effects in and out of the signal chain as well as switch the channels and reverb on your amp. Here are some pictures and diagrams of how I use it in my rig:
