This might seem simple, but I admit I am muddled.
I have a DMC (Voodoo Labs) GCX Switcher unit, which I want to use for my effects pedals. With the accompanying Ground Control Pro MIDI floorboard switcher, I can switch on and off those 8 loops for the pedals with the Instant Access switches.
The GCP also has four Preset switches. I'd like to use these four switches to switch the channels on my MarkIV amp, as well as switch in the loops of the GCX. I would have to get a separate switcher for the MarkIV's amp functions, since it's not MIDI-compatible.
But how do I programme this? My understanding of the GCP is that you turn on a combination of Instant Access switches, and then save that combination to one of the four Preset switches. Unless I have dedicated Instant Access switches for those amp functions (e.g. Rhythm 1 channel, Rhythm 2 Channel, Lead channel, EQ, Class A/Simul-Class, Effects Loop), I can't do it? I really don't want to get a second Ground Control Pro with the extra buttons, but I feel like that is my only choice.
But here's the thing- I still don't have a Ground Control Pro, because of all this muddle...
More to come in a second post..... I have to get to the bottom of this!
