I have a mod in mind that should be simple. Here is what I'm wanting out of it.
The unit comes with two switch jacks for amp channels. I want to add two more.
The exp pedals on the thing suck so I plan on doing the chop mod and getting rid of them.
I pan to use the power from the epx pedal LEDs to trigger the other two relays.
I figured I could use the led circuit applied to the base of the trans and let the trans
Draw power from the power supply to the relay coil. Then I'll have four programmable switch
Functions since the pedal LEDs turn on when u select a preset that has them active.
Once the four switches are functional I want to add an extra midi jack that is wired to the four switch circuits. Then I'll build a unit to sit in the rack that houses 4 dpdt relays.
The unit will have its own power supply. So basically the relays in the FCB will control the ground to the relays in the rack unit. Then I'll have four relays that I can use for amp control or loops. Only draw back is having two midi cables from the foot board to the rack but that beats moving your signal back and forth.
Does my method of triggering the relays sound OK?
What type of relays should I use for loops?
Is there a better way? I only need two switch functions and two loop.
So I don't want to spend the big bucks on a gcx.
Here are my questions:
1. Does my method of using the LEDs to trigger the relays sound usable?
2. What type of relay should be in the rack unit?( quietest)
3. Is there a better way? I've priced midi switching units and I really don't want to spend the money because I only need two switch functions and two loops. I just want to control it with some
My mains questions are these:
1. Does my method of using the led circuits to trigger relays sound viable?
2. What type of relay should I use in the rack unit to get the quietest
