I just purchased a Switch Gizmo. While I've seen pics these units mounted directly on pedalboards, I'd prefer to permanently mount it inside the cab of a Mesa Lonestar Special 2X12 combo. (That way I don't have to run a pair of TRS cables back from my pedalboard to the amp; instead I can use a single midi cable to control Channel Select, Boost and Reverb On/Off. Fewer cables simplifies setup and tear down at every gig -- a major plus!)
My plan is to mount a small power bar inside the combo's cab to which I'd connect the Gizmo's AC adapter and the amp's power cord, then use the power bar's AC connection to power both units. I'm wondering if I can expect ground loop issues in a scheme like that? The Switch Gizmo's AC adapter should isolate the unit from the Boogie, but electricity ain't really my friend, if you follow me!
Did some searching in the forums but couldn't turn up anything related to mounting a Switch Gizmo directly inside an amp. Has anyone heard of people mounting Switch Gizmos in this fashion? Thanks!
