Since D.B.Uberschall posted his wicked gear Its taken me a few weeks to put together all my new toys in a way that works. It takes some trial and error to screw with this stuff.
Pics followed by explanation:
Alright.
My guitar goes into My original GCB-95 Dunlop Crybaby that I modded myself with a 3PDT switch and Led with bypassed buffer, into my GT-10. From there I use the Effects Loop of the GT-10 for my stompboxes, 3 different distortion pedals >> EQ >> Phaser >> Delay. The effects I like to have on hand. I took pictures of the Metal Zone and EQ so that I wouldn't forget how I like them. Use them for Scooped metal type stuff.. obviously. From there the stereo outs of my GT-10 go to the stereo in's of the Alesis Air FX (something I woudln't have known about were it not for this forum) and then output to my 2 amps. Its pretty sweet. The footswitch for the Rivera isn't being used at the moment since I havent figured out how to use it to switch channels on my Crate amp, which doesn't use midi. Plus I'll need 2 TRS cables long enough to reach. I might just switch it out for a nicer Midi controller though. like an FC-300 type (i dont necessarily want Boss) Because I'm going to get the Axon AX-50 midi converter, and a Waldof Blofeld Synth module to slap down on this thing. That would take up the space for the mic-stand that the air fx is sitting on and it would have to move to the ground. I decided on the blofeld after Brians advice that using midi with guitar, you need have a separate channel for each string. The Blofeld has 25 voices so that works out nicely, and with the axon (when i get it) can set up different channels for each string, as well as split strings up into 2 parts each, and even change things depending on WHERE i pick on the string.
I got rid of my wireless because I never use it much. I was going to get an X2 but if I go midi I'll be using a 13 pin cable often enough that I'd get annoyed switching back and forth.
What do you think? Sorry for the crappy pics: cellphone
