Just curious... any issues when switching between rack mount processors and pedal based patches? I tried combining my pedals in a rack drawer as you have , but when I switched from a rack mount processor patch to a pedal based patch there was a noticeable drop in level and overall tone. I was told I could use a mixer to compensate but didn't have room in the rack drawer or the rack itself, so I just put a few pedals out front (clean boost, TS9DX, wah, chorus and phaser). I'd typically run the first three out front anyway, so didn't want to go to a larger rack just to add two pedals.

Thanks a bunch man:) Killer setup man. I'd love to go midi and have my pedals racked Thanks man. Cabling a tray that works right and doesn't put a strain on the jacks on the switcher is a pita lol! It's a lot easier when the switcher(s) for the pedals are on the tray. The only cables coming off the tray are 2 signal cables to the amps, midi, and a stereo trs for switching the boost....

I keep the line level stuff seperate from the pedals. The switchblade is a mixer/router for the effects processors and amp fx loops. The pedals run through the relay based switchers-axess grx4 and soundsculpture abcadabra(it's an a/b box, but I use it as a 1 loop switcher)...that way I don't have to deal with the hasle of extra noise/levels. Loop 4 of the grx 4 a/bs the pt100 and the street rod. It's basically: Guitar into the koko boost(used as buffer/boost)..it has it's own built in switching so no need for a looper....the switchblade handles this(basically f/s simulator jacks) out of the koko boost into the in of the grx4 loop 1 of the grx4 is the hw 74 phase 90 loop 2 the vintage mxr flanger loop 3 is the dimension c out of grx front loops to the in of the abcadabra which contains(cs-9) Out of the abcadabra to the in of the 4th loop of the grx 4 which is isolated from the other loops. The send of loop four goes to the isolation transformer(lehle p-split dual locked on the left inside wall of the rack), the out of that goes to the pt100.... the out of loop 4 the grx4 goes to the street rod. So when loop 4 is activated the guitar signal is sent to one amp, when bypassed, it goes to the out of loop 4 to the other amp. The line level stuff and the pedals are not switched by the same units The switchblade is real clean on line level signals, basically the dry sound is routed back into the fx loop and all the processors are set to %100 wet....that way the dry tone is not messed with. Having them in the switchblade allows me to run dry or 100 effect or anything inbetween with every patch. Also gives me the ability to have the dry tone or overall wet/dry mix under midi control from an expression pedal. Phew that was a lot of typing lol! |

I posted pics of the street rod before and a little review, but I was reluctant to post any more because I may not be hearing it in all it's glory because out of the box mine has had a problem that as good as it does sound(and everyone who's heard it has been blown away)may be effecting the tone.
