Help with midi please

[boogiewoogie]

Hello
I recently bought an amp gizmo + custom mesa cable and a ground control pro for my Roadking 2 head.
I want to be able to use the first 2 rows of buttons of the ground control(eight in total) as if they were the buttons of the original Roadking 2 pedalboard. That would be to select channels (1 to 4), reverb, loops 1 &2 and solo boost ( minus tuner mute) and have the third row of 4 buttons to build presets of channels, fx (g-force) and boost on/off. If someone can give me info about how to plug all these items together it can be very helpful. Thanks a lot 8)

Well after some hassle i figured out the whole thing so i don't need help anymore with midi 8) ....all i can say is that the amp gizmo and ground control are really good devices!... they totally fixed the mess i had for presets and foot switching .... now playing my amp is more fun than ever! if any fellow guitarists read this i encourage them to try these nice pieces of gear
bye :wink:

if you want one with that man buttons (which maybe overkill unless you have a midi controlled fx unit) you can look at the rocktron midimate. you can find them for around $100. If you can deal with a simpler one look at the tech 21 midi mouse or the rocktron midi xpress. i use the rocktron xpress and it works like a charm. i will however go to the new rjm controller for more control over my rig but for now the rocktron does the job very well.

Hi there !

I'm about 1 week before receiving my RKII head !
I can't wait !

In the mean time I'm thinking about midi-controling the beast.
I own a Ground control pro and I'm considering buying an amp gizmo.
I noticed Voodoo labs is about to sell something close to the amp gizmo called "Control switcher" (there's a preliminary info on their site that shows the specs).

I can't decide if I wait for this product to arrive or if I go with the amp gizmo everybody seems to be very happy with...


Any advice ?

now i have a different setup...instead of using only 4 buttons of presets x bank and the rest 8 switches as if they were my old road king footswtich on the gcp ... wich didn't make much sense i have changed to 10 presets x bank so i save the relays configuration on the gizmo + specific fx setting on the g-force. All this is done on each gcp switch and they share the same number with the g-force . For example...

gcp buttons.............roadking II channel number.....g-force user preset
1............................3 raw mode............................01 - some delay
2............................1 fat mode..............................02 - some chorus
etc etc etc....

this way i can go from Petrucci like riffing to U2 like delay cleans or Lifeson distortions with chorus with the push of 1 switch. The best thing i that one is able to customize wich presets have solo boost or fx loops on or off or whatever.... this stuff is the end of tap dancing

get the amp gizmo, it can control 8 channels/functions while the control switcher only does 4 hence you'll need two. plus you just need the one cable from the gizmo to your amp and your set.
