my advice?

stop where your at and go research all this alot more, not trying to be a dick but your jumping into the lake without realizing how deep it is. Spend first, ask second is not the best choice, not knowing how this stuff works is not good either (i mean the simplest forms ie. not knowing if the gcp will control your amps)

The gcx is an audio switcher, it will not act as a load for your amps. You cannot just use the gcp with anything but the triaxis, the gcx will take up every loop to switch channels on your other two amps, quite possibly needing another gcx just to have enough loops to do what your wanting.

Search the misc section, theres another thread or 30 (:p) by sean about this near same issue and tons of info there.

My advise on gear? RJM audio, axess-electronics, or a Switchblade and if your trying to save money the gcp to control it. Your wanting to do alot of stuff which is fine but i'd advise researching this alot more before you attempt to do what your wanting. You'll be glad you did later and you'll probably save money and headaches down the line.

your going to need a mixer, the tc wont be able to be used in more than 1 head otherwise.

the recto's have what 6-8 jacks on the back for switching channels, etc without the footswitch right? IIRC each of those jacks will take 1 loop from the gcx, so there goes 1 gcx, at this point you'd want another one but when your already reaching on 800 for a gcx you should get a higher quality unit that would do everything, axess, rjm, switchblade, etc.

Well tx alot !!! im going to look into those units before i make my final move!!

BTW the triple recto has 4 output for switchiing beind the 3 ch and one for solo

no problem

yea i think that would use 4 of the gcx's loops to control all 4 of those functions, you may double check but AFAIK thats what it will be. My pb used 4 loops in my gcx setup but it had 2 jacks on the back that were TRS jacks. It didn't bother me because i only had like 2 pedals at the time and just like the simplicity and ability to make patches.

now it would be a pain to have to deal with half of the darn unit taken up by 1 amp.

Man, that's a shame Sound Sculpture doesn't make that anymore. There really seem to be limited options for audio switchers and amp/cab switchers in general. :(

I'm still trying to find a unit that will convert MIDI signals into variable resistance outputs so I can control analog pedals with expression jacks that are mounted inside of my rack box.

You can find units that will do control voltage to communicate with pre-MIDI synths, but that's all I've seen so far. :(

You may ask dave at LASD about a custom job, cheaper than bradshaw, great quality and a great guy to deal with.

If your interested in seriously getting it done that is, dave would be a good option to at least see what he thinks, what he could do, etc.

but your right, there isn't much out there for this sort of thing, i'd wager its something that most players rarely want to do as most have a seperate cab for the amp. Maybe a bit in the minority is what im getting at.
