Ultimate Fully Programmable Midi Pedalboard

The Ground Control Pro is the finest full-featured MIDI foot controller available. It’s compatible with all MIDI controlled devices and provides the flexibility, ease-of-use, and rugged reliability necessary to meet the needs of the most demanding professional players. Imagine being able to instantly reconfigure your entire sound with the touch of a single button! With the addition of the GCX Guitar Audio Switcher you aren´t even limited to MIDI devices, you can also control pedal effects, select amp channels, plus many other functions. The Ground Control Pro allows you to simultaneously control up to 8 different devices, each on their own MIDI channel. It will also control up to four GCX Guitar Audio Switchers and our System Mix Plus stereo mixer. You can name each of your presets on the bright, stage-friendly alphanumeric display. And you can use volume or expression pedals to add real-time control of your sound with MIDI continuous controller messages. You can also assign 8 of its buttons for instant access of GCX loops and processor functions. This gives you stompbox style control over your processor or modeling amp’s internal effects. Whether you are controlling a refrigerator sized rack, using a modeling amp, or just a single processor, the Ground Control Pro is the perfect choice for all of your performance needs.

8 loop guitar switcher

Combining the Ground Control with the GCX Guitar Audio Switcher forms a complete switching system. You can use each of the eight loops for in/out effect switching, A/B switching to select amps and preamps, or to control any type of foot-switch function such as amp channel switching. Add a mixer (like our System Mix Plus) to create a parallel effects system and use GCX loops to mute the inputs to your rack effects. This allows effects like delay and reverb to trail off naturally. GCX loops use no active circuitry, only the finest gold contact relays sealed in pure nitrogen. This gives the best possible reliability and tone. And GCX loops will add true bypass to any pedal effect to greatly improve tone when the effect is not being used. Also included are two front-to-back feedthroughs, one with a very transparent, inline buffer. This buffer allows splitting to multiple amps and preamps, as well as reducing noise and loss of high frequencies from cabling. The GCX provides phantom power to the Ground Control over a standard 5-pin MIDI cable.
