Hey guys,

I have a call into voodoo labs but thought someone on here may know what I'm missing.

I'm running my Ground Control to the GCX then from there to the Eventide and then from there to the VH4's MIDI input.

Here is my problem I can not get my channels to store on the patches of the Ground Control. Now having said that here is what I've tried:

Thinking it was something to do with the Eventide's settings I bypassed it and went directly from the GCX to the VH4. Still not working.

Now when I first got the Ground Control and GCX I had a show and before I could get the case and all wired up I just took the amp, cab and Ground Control as a Channel Selector Pedal, and it worked fine, even with the channel inserts etc.

So I know that it worked at one time, but since then I may have done something within the Ground Control or maybe even on the amp itself to alter that signal flow.

So I'm thinking it is one of two (few) things.

1) The Amp should be on Single Channel Mode (vs Omni Mode) or...
2) I don't have the Amp set-up properly with the Ground Control now that I have the GCX and Eventide in the loop.


Having said all this, I also must say that the eventide working and switching it's presets was a fools luck cause I had no idea what the eventide manual was trying to get me to do. Cause it was confusing as all get out lol too many big words, I'm from Greer, SC aka GRRR, SC cause we can't say more than one sylable at a time much less spell the word.... Ah I'm such a redneck :(

Thanks for the help in advance, cause if it gets to working I won't be on here for a few weeks to tell you that!

So I spent a few hours tonight working through things, and after about an hour of just messing with things, I figured out the VH4 needed to be set to Single Channel Manual Mode. The catch was going in a saving the channels to the CC number 1-128 on the Edit menu in the Ground Control Pro.

I'm gonna try and post of a YouTube tutorial first of the week, so any other person having trouble can trouble shoot a little easier.
