I've decided that I need to expand my setup, as far as switching and effects go, so I've decided to grab a G-major and Behringer FCB1010 to control it with.
Now, I know the G-major can be setup to change my amps channels via a TRS jack (on footswitch, one button is for FX loop on/off, one for channel switching), but I have a dilemma and a possible solution. I just need to run it by some experts to make sure it'll work in practice, not just theory.
I always run an OD pedal for my distorted sounds, and turn it off on cleans. Now, I could spend 200 dollars on a dedicated midi loop to have the G-Major control it and assign it to the patches needed, but I don't have that kind of money. I don't want to have the OD pedal infront of me for reasons of cable clutter and powering the thing, as well as tapdancing to switch between cleans/distortion.
Now, the switch on my OD pedal has three wires going to it, so I assume I could replace it with a TRS jack and be able to externally control it (via.. G-major for instance). The G-major only has one TRS control out, though. What I want to do is wire up the pedal to have that TRS jack, run a TRS Y cable from the control jack of the G-major and have one end go to the OD, one to the amp. What I'm trying to do is have the OD switched on and off automatically when I change channels.
The only problem I can think of is that the way the jacks would be wired up might cause the cleans to have the OD pedal on and the distortion to have it off (AKA Backwards to what I want), but I believe this could be remedied by switching a wire or two?
Anyways, let me know if this would actually work, or if any of you have tried it.
