This is where you move onto a rack fx unit that also does channel switching then its just 1 step either way!
Don't tempt me... I've been trying to simplify stuff as much as possible :?

Yeah, but... The phaser in a GMajor won't sound like my Phase 90 run into the front of the amp, for example.
Plus I'd need a switching module to control the amp's channels by midi. Plus I'd need a rackmount tuner...
And a bigger car to ferry it all around :lol:

Nah, I can live with my pedals really. I'm not that big an effects user either way.

Hehe the g major controls the channels itself & it has a built in rack tuner.

The phase part is true though.

Hmm, OK... Maybe I can just have a peek at this GMajor contraption...

Im currently trying to find one used as when i wasn't aware of the full capabilities i saw them go for as little as £150 with a midi floorboard quite a few times.

But now that i want one they seem to have vanished completely

and the £450+ of the g major two doesnt appeal as much

I've taken a quick look at it. Total overkill for me.
I really only need a bit of phaser for Thin Lizzy covers, a hint of flanger here and there and the odd bit of chorus for 80s stuff and ballads. I've got that covered with my pedalboard.

So, all that remains now is to get the Splawn 8)

I use the RJM RG-16 to switch channels on my Bogner XTC and add/remove effects (Chrous/Delay/Reverb/EQ) simultaneously, via a midi footswitch out front.  Not cheap, but a fantastic piece of kit if you play with a variety of tones live.

If it's good enough for Billy Gibbons, it's good enough for me!
