I've recently acquired the PBC6X, my first loop switcher! It's absolutely fantastic, and has really improved my setup.
I run most of my pedals in front of the amp, with the exception of a Source Audio Collider which I've placed in the loop. Therefore I'm not utilising the 4 cable setup with the PB6X to save a loop - the Collider will be fully controlled by midi only.
I have tried 3 approaches, and am just wondering what others have done and advise:
1) PC changes, within individual patches saved for each variation of delay and reverb. This also means I require to have a patch defined where both sides of the pedal are in an 'off' state when it's not required.
2) CC changes, with action's defined on each preset to recall with the required state for the delay/reverb (on/off/both on/both off).
3) Page dedicated to the Collider, including bypass controls of each switch, and bank up and down for the presets. I thought this would be the quickest way to setup for each preset - set the state on the page, choose the preset on the Collider and store it to the patch preset. It doesn't not appear to work unfortunately (perhaps trying to send PC and CC messages together, and the latter is being ignored?). I'd hoped that storing from this page would store an IA action down on the preset.
Given I'm running the pedal outside a loop, it does feel like I have an overhead with programming each patch that doesn't use the pedal to recall a PC or CC that sets both sides off.
Any thoughts for improvement? Or do you also feel the CC approach is the most effective?
Thanks in advance!
