Rig HELP!

[ColdCarcass]

I'm the process of redoing my rack and trying to hookup the new rack setup. I'm currently having issues with getting the TC Electronic G-major to work on all 4 channels of my Roadking I series head. I'll be using the Behringer FCB1010 midi pedal to control the G-major and if possible use this pedal to switch channels on the head. How can I make this happen? I was looking at the RG16 switch but at this point I just want to get this unit going. ARRRRRRGG~!

Any advice and help is greatly appreciated!

THANKS!

use the two relays in the FCB to control CH-1 and CH2 and then use the two relays in the G-major to control the other two channels in your roadking (you'll need a 2-mono to stereo 'Y' or insert connector lead for the the G major)

That's the cheapest and quickest way for now....

Still having issues getting this to work correctly. I've also read with using the "Y" connectors you run a chance of damaging the head. So, now I'm looking to go the Axess Electronics CFX4 route. Anyone know where I maybe able to purchase one for the Road King head?

Using a Y cable will eventually ruin the switching system, I currently use a Rocktron patchmate loop 8 ( rackmount, not floor model) with great results. They are very affordable $300-$400 and they don't deteriorate your tone, at least not much, that I notice. I have used it with awesome results. Set up ie..
guitar - loop 8 in(front pannel), amp channel 1 - loop 1, cannel 2 - loop 2, channel 3 - loop 3, channel 4 - loop 4 out - amp input.
assuming you use the effects loop of the amp...
effects send - loop 5 in, gmajor in - loop 5 send, loop 5 return - gmajor out, loop 5 out -effects loop return. run the midi in g-major - midi out/thru - rocktron.( but may not be necessary.You won't need the switching from the fcb or g major, just enter the loop you want to use. The only downside is the cables, about 10 or so.
