I got the M13 for use with my Carvin V3 head as well, from what I have read on this topic previously is 'NO' for the M13 sending a channel change to the Amp. I don't know. I have looked at both the Voodoo Lab Ground Control ($399) and the Behringer MIDI controller ($149) since we talked. Carvin V3 Midi Setup Cubase. IRig Pro I/OUniversal ultra-compact audio/MIDI interface for iPhone, iPad, Android and Mac/PC. Tube graphical interface, or you can quickly configure it to be used with any traditional MIDI controller by associating patches to MIDI program changes and knobs, switches,.
Add true bypass to any stompbox or rack effect in your rig! Get total control over your pedals, rack effects, amp & channel switching, and more with the GCX Guitar Audio Switcher. You can use each of the eight loops for true bypass effect switching, A/B switching to select amps and preamps, or to control any type of footswitch function such as amp channel switching.
GCX loops have no active circuitry, and use the finest gold relays sealed in nitrogen, so your tone will stay pure and dynamic no matter what kind or how many effects you use. Combine the GCX Guitar Audio Switcher with a Ground Control Pro to form a complete switching system that has been the touring and recording pro's choice for over 15 years! Comments about Voodoo Lab GCX Guitar Audio Switcher: In the end I rely heavily on this unit, and have been completly satisfied. It has met all my needs and enabled me to streamline my rig greatly. Voodoo labs smaller pedal version of this unit may be a better value for individuals that don't need as many loops. I hope that one day voodoo labs offers a second version of the GCX that supplies power, is color coated for trouble shooting, and offers channel linking. 8 independent loops allow effects an processors to be switched out in real time, perform channel switching, or rout between preamps.
I use loop one as a kill switch (and to tune silently, via the second out put of the buffered input). Loops 2 &3 for each channel of a dbx compressor; switching between lead and rhythm compression. Loop 4 for a boss octave effect (which does load down the signal slightly when bypassed). Loop 7&8 are used to switch between presence 1&2 and volume 1&2 on an engl 540/50. All this plus multieffect processors are controlled via the ground control pro with an easy setup time and flawless integration.
I do wish that the loops were color coded for quich trouble shooting (i used colorful electric tape). I would have liked to have seen a swich to link channels to avoid using jumper cables. And a Built in power supply could prove valuable to people more pedal oriented then me. I have also used this unit to switch between inputs of a dual rec and a Peavy JSX, as well as swich function on the dual rec flawlessly.
I have had absolutely no problems with this unit in 4 years of use. Voodoo labs tech support is incredible and they demonstrate a myriad of complex set ups on their website. Even with repeated pluging and unplugging of cords i have yet tohave a jack go bad. Poser 8 Free Download Full Version. The power supply is robust but fits on a monster power conditioner easily.
Since the Jacks are gold I used mogami gold cables for better conductence and intend to have the rest of my input and output jacks switched to gold later. The only reson that this unit does not get a ten in this department is i wished that they would have included a way to link channels instead of having to use a jumper cable via a switch. I also would like to have seen a some form of powersupply built in like on the TC electronics G-system. For its price & features it is an awsome value and outstanding tool for complex or even just simpilifying a rig that already uses MIDI. Comments about Voodoo Lab GCX Guitar Audio Switcher: Paired with the ground control pro this unit can control everything but the kitchen sink (could probably do that too if you hook it up to one of the loops). Be prepared to buy alot of patch cables to connect the signal path to all your units. Also realize that the buffered signal will change the nature of your gain structure slightly.
There is a passive signal path offered as well however there is a drop in signal if you are going through a bunch of stuff (ie the buffered path) This company builds equipment with solid quality and very good designs. I highly recommend this unit in combination with the ground control pro. Comments about Voodoo Lab GCX Guitar Audio Switcher: A buddy of mine has one of these plus the ground control pro. GC Pro + GCX = Awesome!!! He has a JVM head as well as a Carvin V3 head and the GCX controls all the channels on Both amps seamlessly.
He also a a rack drawer full of various pedals (overdrives, Chorus, Delay, reverb, etc.) And you can switch those in and out on the fly as well. The Ground Control can also be programmed to have any combination of FX and amp Channels in seconds. Just select the channel, and Loops you want active, then go in and write it to memory.That Easy!!! I plan on getting one of these as soon as possible so that I can create my own custom rig with real amps and effects!!! Comments about Voodoo Lab GCX Guitar Audio Switcher: I have been playing in bands with my dad since I was 14.I'm 33 now.I play in two bands these days. One band is an original music band that I play Bass in, and I play guitar in a popular local South Lousisana cover band.My guitar rig is a Hughes & Kettner half-stack and a Gibson SG. I had previously used lots of stompboxes and the the two channels of a Boss Line Selector for all my effects.old school way, i guess, butWAY too much footwork.
I still had to switch the amp channel too on a seperate foot switch.not to mention the Wah!!! The Audio Switcher and it's Ground Control Pro allows me to still use all my favorite stompboxes and switch them via MIDI, and I can switch amp channels too! The GCX ties it ALL in to one funtional, easy to use rack mountable set-up and one footcontroller does basically EVERYTHING!!!! I only rated 4.5 on features cause it didn't have an expression pedal.I looked into the G Force, but the price was a bit outta the range I can afford in this economy. For almost $2000 less, I got an adaptable MIDI switching unit that fits my rig like a glove! It more than suits all my needs!Now you see why many professional musicians use this as the centerpiece of their own rigs!I don't know why you'd build your guitar rig without it!! Comments about Voodoo Lab GCX Guitar Audio Switcher: The VooDoo Labs GCX is the greatest invention since the creation of cold beer!
This piece of equipment allows a musician to change the effects in his rack and also the channel on his amp head with the push of a button. Literally, if you purchase the Ground Control Pro you can change everything that is MIDI controlled with one button. The GCX is easy to use and is very strait forward. I have never been happier with a piece of equipment.
This GCX and Ground Control is not just for people that have all rack mounted equipment; a rack is required (obviously) to house the GCX, but it can be used to turn on and off stomp boxes and also an A/B switcher for two amplifiers. As a matter of fact, the only thing the GCX and Ground Control Pro can not do is???get you a cold beer! So, if you are like me and want to have all of your; effects, amp selection, stomp boxes, whammy pedal or any thing else available with the push of a button go pick up the GCX and Ground Control Pro as soon as possible!
A Silent Warrior The Rocktron Hush Super C has been a great addition to my guitar rig. If you are going with a stereo, dual amp rig with stereo delay/reverb, etc., this one is. The Rocktron Hush Super C has been a great addition to my guitar rig.
If you are going with a stereo, dual amp rig with stereo delay/reverb, etc., this one is a must. It has two parts - a noise gate, and a hush. Knowing how to use each part is paramount to getting the best result out of this rack unit. The noise gate works like expected.though the hush noise reducer is a secret weapon for medium to high gain settings. The unit can be abit challenging with multi-channel amps, but a happy medium can be found.Anyone buying this MUST know that the tone improvements occur at a distance.this is important. This unit is primarily made for live performances, and for the listeners who aren't standing 10 feet in front of your cabinet or combo. The noise gate will take care of buzz and what-not, and meets the definition of a good product by itself for this purpose.
The HUSH is only appreciated at moderately cranked volumes. Put your amp on a medium to high gain setting and set the volume at levels you'd use in a medium- to large-sized club. Keep the HUSH Super C off and play a typical crunchy mid- to high-gain riff, standing a good 25 feet or more from your cab.
Now engage the HUSH (with HUSH level about 9 or 10 o'clock - don't worry about the noise gate for this test). Play your riff again. It's like someone cleared the crud out of the line from your amp to your speakers.suddenly they're more direct, cleaner, and your tone just shines through.
It cleans up even the mildest of chaotic noise that can come out of your amp/guitar. Without doing this test with a live-level volume, you'll probably find that the HUSH is no different from any other noise reducer, and you'll feel like you wasted your hard-earned cash.I use the HUSH with a stereo setup of 2 Carvin V3 amps running through Marshall 1960BV cabs equipped with Vintage 30s. Good stuff. Download Hootsuite Pro Apk Gratis here. get one if you play live frequently. Not satisfied i bought this in hopes that it would efficantly get rid of feed back without killing my tone, and i have to say it is not worth the money that i spent on it. I bought this in hopes that it would efficantly get rid of feed back without killing my tone, and i have to say it is not worth the money that i spent on it.
I only own two noise reduction units this and the boss noise supressor, while im not very happy with with the boss version i still think thats it is better than the roctron. The rocktron unit really didnt help get rid of feedback at high volumes at all unless i turned the controls way up even then there would be feedback for a couple of seconds until the unit actually reacted and killed the signal. Another complaint is that this unit killed my amps reverb completley. Overall, its not worth the money.

Good stuff.get one if you play live frequently. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: I have an INCREDIBLY loud amp (Peavey Triple XXX), and I really needed a hush processor to eliminate bad feedback, yet retain the good kind (i.e. Like live bands using feedback to make an entrance, not annoy the audience).
I had decided on Rocktron because of their reliability in the past. Best decision I made for effects by far.
Also, when I fed it through my effects loop, I turned the 'hush' dial to about 12 o' clock and it really brought out the heavy tone of my amp without thinning it at all. Get this effects processor.
Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: For one there is on power switch its either plug it in or not. Also the power cord is the old skinny cord connect to a huge power cell at the end - come on jut give a a plan power cord.
On the bright side it cleans up a lot of noise and elimites feedback according to your setting. All noise gates will cut into your sound - this one does a fairly decent job of cleaning the sound without killing the sound you gunning for. I am kind of hard on reviews but this if fair. No power switch - weak power cord - great sound cutting - good looks - over priced. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: I can only compare it to the programable noise gates in my Digitech RP1000 & in my old ART SGX2000 pre-amp processors. The Roctron stand alone Noise Gate is far superior.and its nice to be be able to adjust the threshold & release on the fly without going through presets.different guitars, room acoustics.its like an EQ.you have to be able to adjust it quickly.
Simple, effective and intuitive. A piece of hardware is better than any software. At one time I believed the programable ones that came with the multi effects units would suffice. Nope.this is the way to go. I am cheap.so yeah it'd be nice if was half the cost, but after using it you forget it set you back $$$.because it is worth it. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: I've purchased the Hush C on two occasions ('03,'08) and I can honestly say that it is one of the single most important pieces in my rig.
Technically it's only a 'noise gate', but somehow it actually ADDS to your tone! I think a lot of people out there have never really been able to hear what their amps sound like without all of the hiss and hum and if that's the case you should grab one of these right now.
You'll have way more 'control' of your rig and at the end of the day you'll be able to hear a lot of subtle little things that all of the hiss and hum have been covering up since day one. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: I bought this and hooked it up to my marshall half stack. For one there is no power switch, its plugged in and its on or its not plugged in. Also the plug is the old stringy cord with a brick on the end for a plug in - come on this a rack unit, I want a straight up standard cord.
It cuts into the volume to much and changes the sound to the point where I dont use it unless I am playing at very high volumes. So maybe I need to play around with it but for the price there seems to be some quality lacking. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: There is always room for improvement (though I don't know what I'd recommend to Rocktron) so I gave this a 9/10. I play in a Deathcore band, and this thing handles all the gain I can throw at it. Some of the other reviews scared me because they said it 'sucked all the gain out.'
From what I've seen this thing only helps my tone. I've only played with this thing for about half an hour, but it's extremely easy to adjust and tune in.
I see no reason to buy a more expensive model. I gave the unit an 8/10 because while it does everything I ask of it very well I can only assume there is a reason for 'good' sound gates to cost three times this price. As far as asthetics and performance this unit does everything as advertised. Just a simple sound gate with a threshold knob, and a Hush knob that seems to brighten all the best frequencies. Since I am completely satisfied with the money I paid for this I'm giving this a 5/5 on value. I can't think of a reason to spend so much more on 'the best' sound gates when this one does everything I need.
Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: I play one of the OLD dual rectifiers, and although the tone is simply AMAZING, it hums and buzzes like you would not believe. Right out of the box and only a few tweaks I had my amp completely silent when cranked. Now, I'd be lying if I said it didn't affect my tone at all, however the difference is so slight that it doesn't really bother me too much, and I'm VERY critical of my tone.
This is definitly something that will remain a part of my live rig for years to come. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: Ok, I have lots of noise gates, suppressors, etc. This one works the best.
I use tons of gain. It completely kills all unwanted noise and doesn't change my sound. To the guys who say it does, read the manual.
And to the ones who complain about no on/off switch, again read the manual. There is a bypass switch.
If you turned it off you wouldn't get signal through. Try unplugging your boss pedals and taking the batteries out. It's the same thing. It won't work while off. I do however agree that the power chord sucks.
A smaller one would work much better. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: I just received my Rocktron Hush Super C and I couldn't be more happy. It does exactly what I wanted it to, and that was to get rid of all the feedback and hizzing when I wasn't playing. I play through a Randal Warhead and the thing is practicaly on fire. After our band played tonight, our stops sounded perfect by adding that needed silence when I quit playin. It has really tightened up my playing too.
A must if you have a noisy amp like I did. Comments about Rocktron HUSH Super C Stereo Guitar Noise Reduction System: I own a randall half stack which doesnt have the highest gain but i have a fairly large rack system including optical big bottom, sonic maximizer, eq, compressor, gate, wireless, and it creats alot of hum. Reading that lamb of god uses one of these i decided to try it out and i coulndt be happier. It kills most of that annoying loud hum and that hiss that shows up when i turn my amp up to 11. Its a nifty piece of equipment, but i do think it could be priced lower so i gave it a 8 on value. Good job rocktron!
