Hello everyone,
I currently play a Godin LGXT. The guitar has three outputs, Electric (Humbuckers), Acoustic (piezo pickups), and 13 Pin Synth access.
The electric signal goes through a chain of two pedals, an overdrive, and a Banshee talkbox.
The reverb and other effects are handled by a TC G-Force running through the effects loop of the amp which is miked.
The acoustic runs to a Sans amp DI w/ a reverb pedal in its effects loop and out to the PA
The synth goes to a Roland GR33 and out in stero to a stereo DI to the PA.
I have been using a stereo A-B-Y pedal to switch the acoustic and electric sounds.
I use the switch on the guitar to turn on the synth.
I already have a midi footswitch and an amp gizmo to switch amp channels and presets on the TC.
As you can imagine the tap dance can get pretty intense.
I want a one button solution for any possible combinations of sounds.
So....
If I get the rack gizmo, I can:
run the electric output of the guitar to audio loop 5 return, then out of loop 5 send into the front panel input.
Run the acoustic out into loop 6 the same way with the send going to the sans amp.
Run the left and right outputs of the GR33 to loops 7 and 8. Sends going to DI.
Put the Overdrive and the Banshee into loops 1 and 2 and run the click stopper out to the amp.
Hook up the amp cable to the Mesa F30.
Add my midi footswitch and I will be able to create any sound combination with just one button press.
opening loop 5 and 7 and 8 would turn on Synth + electric. 6-7-8 would do synth and acoustic, etc.
Can audio loops be used like this, since there will be nothing in the inputs at loops 5-8, only the sends and returns. It's my understanding that if I ran my signals in the inputs and outputs of Ch 5-8 they will not turn off when the loop is closed.
Thanks in advance.
