Ok guys...this is going to be quite hard to figure out but I'm sure someone can help me with this

here is my new rig:

Voodoo Lab GCX
Mesa Boogie Triaxis
Korg DTR2000
TC G major
ISP ProRackG
Furman PQ6
Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifer

Now I want to run ok here is what I want:

Dual Rectifier with furman pre amp and after amp with the tuner and G major and noise gate

Triaxis with furman Preamp and after amp tuner, G major noise gate

I'll be using the power amp of the DR for the triaxis

How can I set up something like this with the GCX?

I'm lost..... :(
 
something like this maybe :arrow: http://www.voodoolab.com/gcxdiagrams/04-Multiple_Preamps_Stereo_Loops_Stereo_PowerAmp.pdf
 
Here we go again...I need to start charging for these rig setups :lol:

***NOTE: For ANY of this to work properly, ESPECIALLY the Triaxis into the DR Poweramp, you need the Rectifier to have a SERIES effects loop...a parallel will not work properly, and cause significant problems. The mod is easy.

If I read it correctly, you want to run the G-Major and Furman unit before the amp AND in the effects loop? You'll need additional equipment for that, and IMO, it's not worth the trouble at all. Both units would work perfectly, and get all their jobs done, in the loops (post preamp) in the setup.

So, assuming you're ok with that:

Guitar --> Guitar In

(On Back)...CAP LOCKS typing refers to portions of corresponding GCX Loops.

Guitar Out into Loop 1.

Loop 1: SEND to Korg DTR 2000, OUT to Loop 2. Switching in this loop will mute your signal to the tuner.
Loop 2: SEND to ISP 'infront of amp' input, out of ISP to RETURN, OUT to Loop 3.
Loop 3: SEND to input of Triaxis, OUT to input of Rectifier.
Loop 4: Rectifier 'Loop Send' to IN, Triaxis 'Out' to RETURN, OUT to Loop 4
Loop 5: SEND to input of Furman, output of Furman to RETURN, OUT to Loop 5.
Loop 6: SEND to input of G-Major, output of G-Major to RETURN, OUT to Loop 7.
Loop 7: SEND to ISP 'in loop' input, out of ISP to RETURN, OUT to Rectifier Effects loop return.

So, in summary:

Switching in Loops 3 and 4 will give you the triaxis preamp, and leaving them out will give you the rectifier preamp. There two loops both have to be either on or both off...otherwise, you won't get signal.

Switching in loops 2 and 7 will give you the ISP working infront and in the loop of the amp. This is cool to have, since you can completely take it out for clean sounds ,etc.

Loops 5 and 6 will give you any combination of the Furman and G-Major. You can also switch the order of them if you prefer it differently.

You'll need to chain MIDI from the GCX to control both the G-Majoy and Triaxis with CC messages.

The only thing you still need to do is control the channel switching of the Rectifier. You should be able to do this with the last loop of the GCX, and the available switching jacks on the G-Major.

There you go...good luck, and feel free to PM me if you need any more help!

I know :(

You should see my setup though...getting the Uber and Roadster to run together with everything else I wanted was a task...but **** is it cool!
