System #2 + GCX Loops
This example uses six loops to switch the inputs of the effects. It is important to note that
although FX 1 and 2 are stereo, they begin with a mono signal and therefore need only one loop
each to switch them. FX 3 and 4 are shown using two loops each for switching.
1. The guitar is connected to the amp or preamp input. The preamp output or amp effect send is
connected to the Left volume control input.
2. The passive split sends copies of the preamp signal to the inputs of two different GCX loops
instead of going directly to the inputs of the effects devices. Next, the send of each GCX loop
is connected to effect inputs. When the loops are on, the signals pass through. When the
loops are off, the sends to the effects are muted.
3.
The stereo outputs of the effects are brought back to the
mixer to be blended with the original preamp tone. For FX 1 and 2,
we will use In 2 and In 3 of Mix 1. These effects will be blended in
parallel with the original preamp tone.
4. Next, the two stereo Mix 1 Outs are used to drive four different GCX loops (Left and Right for
two devices). The sends of the loops are connected to the appropriate inputs on FX 3 and 4,
allowing them to be muted by the GCX. The Mix 1 signal is sent to Mix 2 via the internal
