Rig set up questions...

[Malin]

Hi guys!

I'm running a Dual Rectifier with a Triaxis but I'm using the power amp of the Dual Rectifier.

GCX

Loop 1: Tuner mute
Loop 2: Furman PQ3
Loop 3: ISP Decimator
Loop 4: Dual Rectifier or Triaxis
Loop 5: Dual Rectifier or Triaxis
Loop 6: TC 1128
Loop 7: ISP Decimator
Loop 8: TC G Major

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 Furman EQ1 in, out of EQ to RETURN, OUT to Loop 3
Loop 3: SEND to ISP 'infront of amp' input, out of ISP to RETURN, OUT to Loop 4.
Loop 4: SEND to input of Triaxis, OUT to input of Rectifier.
Loop 5: Rectifier 'Loop Send' to IN, Triaxis 'Out' to RETURN, OUT to Loop 6
Loop 6: SEND to input of Furman EQ2, output of Furman to RETURN, OUT to Loop 7.
Loop 7: SEND to input of G-Major, output of G-Major to RETURN, OUT to Loop 8.
Loop 8: SEND to ISP 'in loop' input, out of ISP to RETURN, OUT to Rectifier Effects loop return.

Now I just bought an Maxon OD808 and I want to put it in Loop 1..How can I connect that? I tried connecting the GCX SEND to the Maxon Instrument and Maxon Amplifier to the GCX Return but I get nothing when I activate Loop 1! I connect my guitar in the Guitar IN and in the back I used the exit guitar Feedtrough to Loop 1

I was thinking of putting the Korg Tuner in the send of the Triaxis and create a patch for the tuner...can I do that and how can I connect it?

i would try it this way:
guitar in front -> guitar out into loop 1 input [send to maxon in, maxon out to return] out loop1 -> in loop 2
the feedthru on the back goes to the tuner input.
this should work! don´t forget to activate the maxon (i guess you know it, but just in case)
last but not least: check the cables you are using. make sure, that they are not damaged.

it´s like on the voodoolab homepage:

^Exactly what I was going to say about the tuner...if you use the guitar in on the front, your signal is present at both outs in the back, so use the guitar out to the loops, and feed thru to the tuner. You'll use your mute function this way, so you'll need to create a 'mute patch' in the either the triaxis or g major.

As for the maxon, it seems like you have it setup right...send to in and out to return. Check your cables. Does the maxon work properly when running it directly to an amp? Have you actually tested that the pedal works properly?
