I'm planning on investing in a DMC GCX and Ground Control in the future. I'm trying to do up a bit of research and everything for how I'm going to hook this up once I get em, but I need some ideas and help with how I'm going to do this.
I'm using a Mesa Triaxis/TC G-Major/Mesa 2:90 currently. I have a NS-2 that I will have in the rack once I have the GCX. I also have (and hope to add to my setup) a TS9, Boss Super Shifter...I have a few other pedals that I could throw in there as well.
The issue/question I'm having is how I would set this up. One concern is how the individual loops respond/color/etc the signal passing through. My logic says run everything through the fx loop on the triaxis, but having a unit which provides 8 more individual loops makes me only wonder. Looking at sample diagrams, nothing is really explaining it the way I am curious about.
I was planning on having it kinda set up with my noise suppressor in the first loop, TS9 in the second (so I can program patches to have one or the other on or off depending on what I have on my channel...I don't need NS or OD on my clean channel, for example).
What is eluding me is what to do after that. I can put the triaxis between sections 2 and 3 and have a bunch of shit afterwards...or I can have section 2 go into the input on the triaxis, and have the other sections in the fx loop of the triaxis, while having the outputs on the triaxis go straight to the 2:90.
My thoughts are that since it should be favorable to have everything in the fx loop of the triaxis that will be coloring the sound, then thats what I should do...am I overthinking how much I need to put into setting this up with the GCX? It seems all the diagrams I come across either have stuff in series (between the pre and power), none emphasising on using the fx loop on the triaxis, but when they are talking about using a head they do use the fx loop.
Any thoughts?
EDIT...
I also want to utilize the stereo returns/stereo power amp functions like I currently am. In the past, when I had to play a gig without my other guitar player, I set my rig up with a harmonizer on only one channel to cover in place of him being gone. That and having ping-pong delays and shit that I can use have been pretty cool. I'm also digging the idea of having one cab dry and one wet, but that changes the idea of having stereo effects.
