Building a new rig, some questions.

[Steven McLean]

Hi everyone,

I'm about to start rebuilding a rig that I inherited that has some issues. I'm looking to make it more stable and solid.

I'm planning on having it in a shock mounted rack case, with 4 drawers, 3 with effect pedals, and one doing the out puts.

If I do it, can I put a mini effect gizmo in each drawer and link out of them to each other with both the midi and guitar signal. This would then go to the switcher and finally a patch bay for the outputs.

In theory this would work, or is there a more simpler way for this to work.

Each drawer will have 4 pedals so 12 effects in total.

Yes, putting a Mini Effect Gizmo in each drawer is a good idea, and definitely an idea that's in use by a bunch of people. It avoids a lot of the problems wiring pedals on a sliding shelf, there are only a few cables between shelves to deal with.

Thanks, that's what I'm hoping to avoid with the sliding drawers.

Will they just continue to work in sequence?

Yes, the order you connect them, from the output of one to the input of the next will determine the effect order.

So just to confirm that would make them register as loop 1-5 6-10 11-15 if the from input to output?

Yes, that's how they would be ordered in the signal path.
