Here we go again...
I said I was finished, promised the gods(and my mom) that I was done, and that my pedal board was perfect! Well, it just so happens that I want to change it up ?
I selling my Cusack pedal board tamer and buying a MIDI capable switching system to replace it. I have whittled it down to two options.
Number one:
I can get this: http://www.musicomlab.com/. It's small, easy to program and perfect for what I need. It can send PC's to the Timeline, Modfactor and Whammy that are currently residing on my board. Only downside is that I won't be able to send any more than 4 CC's, which is a bit of a bummer as it would be cool to have more MIDI control over the Timeline Looper and the Modfactor tap and fast/slow. Which brings us to competitor two...
Number two:
This: http://www.voodoolab.com/gcontrolpro.htm. I would pair this with two of these: http://www.voodoolab.com/switcher.htm. The advantage of this setup over the Musicomlabs is that I will have the control over the Timeline that I want, as well as being able to have instant access to the pedal loops on the pedal switchers. It will also be more versatile in that I don't always have to use the Ground Control with the pedal board - I can just use the two pedal switcher units. One disadvantage is that it is substantially larger than the Musicom unit, which would fit right on my board.
I am not keen on racking my setup. These two systems cost around about the same($750 for the Musicom and $800 for the GCP and Switchers). Another plus with the Voodoo labs units would be that i could order them from ProGuitarShop, with whom I have done some good business. And, they ship within a week and have regular specials!
Some advice would be greatly appreciated ?
