Yes thanks once again, I have another question for you when I use the delay, as I add more wet sound with my expression pedal, I loose overall volume, any ideas?

[ljbarbeau]

@amcenteggart ok that one I don't know sorry. If I still had the GM2 id try it on my unit if i could duplicate; but not an option anymore. sry...

[amcenteggart]

I note when you set up your volume pedal you set the curve 35%, 50%, 100% when I do this the lowest volume setting on the global in = -51db which makes the pedal only really work over a fraction of its travel I expected the swrrp of the pedal to only control a few db's? Am I missing something? I'm using an Ernie JR and it's calibtrated OK

I appreciate you don't have this rig anymore BTW!

@amcenteggart yes i know what you mean I had to raise those settings a lot higher to get a better sweep. can't remember the exact number tho. try 50-75-100 or even as high as 75-90-100 basically first one is the highest u can set it that it mutes the guitar last one is 100% middle one to your taste. I think at 1 point I even tried 100% in the middle position. can't remember if it was any better. there is a lot of trial/error in the process...

[ljbarbeau]

I'm not sure if I understand your question.... Are you asking if you can turn on multiple effects with only one button? If so yes just assign them all to the same cc/mod. If not not I dunno what you mean...  Also keep in mind that I don't have acces to a gcp/g major anymore... So if I can't remember, there is no way for me to double check...

Hello and thanks for the tutorial, it's brilliant, I've got my bottom row of presets sorted, | just need to understand how to set up 1-8 for the stomp box type mode i.e 1 = mod, 2 = comp etc....Can you help?

[ljbarbeau]

@amcenteggart read the small characters at the end of the video. I actually explain that in there. I forgot to mention it in the video thats why I explain it in the end..

basically i set my CCs from 1 to 8 on my gcp(as seen on the video). and I make them match what I want to control in the g-major 2...(missing from the video)

[amcenteggart]

@ljbarbeau I was asking if I could switch different effects on within the same block, it's OK, TC came back and said no way!

Cheers anyway.

[amcenteggart]

Just another question I'm using the bottom buttons for patches and the rest for instant access, if I had for instance my clean patch number 1 could I use instant access buttons to add two or three modulation effects say chorus or flange or univibe or can I only turn on the Mod module with the instant access button?

[amcenteggart]

@amcenteggart Cheers everything is now taking shape, I note that the volume pedal (EB JR's) is only btinging in the volume in its last third of travel.

I've re calibrated and its the same with both my pedals, also it doesn't make any odds where I have the EB internal switch?

[amcenteggart]

Brilliant thanks I was using a TEC 21 controller previously thats why a lot of the settings in the G Major are changed as I just used the Tec 21 and 1 x expression pedal.

Now I need to set up two pedals and get the TC settings re configured, thanks for all your help.
