What controllers does everyone use with the G-Major?

I use the Behringer FCB1010 with the modded chip to allow using the switches as "stomp boxes" to turn specific effects on and off rather than just switching programs.

Anybody else use a similar setup? I'd like to figure out more of the capabilities of such a setup (particularly a few things about switching programs while leaving individual effects on/off/unchanged and stuff about the expression pedals)

Re: Footswitches/controllers

I'm using a Rocktron Midi Mate.  I have it set where the bottom row of 5 changes patches, and the top row turns effects on/off.  Some day I hope to add an expession pedal to it, but for now, it's working great for me with the G Major.

Re: Footswitches/controllers

Very cool -- that's actually almost exactly how I use mine.  The bottom row switches amp channels and sets the appropriate settings for each channel (I really only use two of the bottom buttons at the moment -- haven't made many real patches that I use regularly other than my few main ones).

One thing I'd like to figure out is if there's a way to better utilize the two expression pedals the controller has.  I know I can dedicate each of the exp. pedals to control a specific parameter, but what I'd like to be able to do is switch effects and have the pedals only control a parameter of that specific effect.  For example, I'd like to dedicate one pedal to being a volume control, but if I have the pitch shift on control the pitch and then if I want delay have it be able to control the delay feedback.  I'd only want the pedal to control the most recently added effect (I know I can use the same CC message for all my effects, but I wouldn't want both the pitch AND delay feedback to change at the same time -- only the last one switched on).

I have to do a bit more researching and figure out if this is possible.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Arriving somewhere... but not here!

Re: Footswitches/controllers

i am using art x15 ultrafoot to control gmajor. although the sge mach2 was a giant piece of junk the controller was decent. i am very busy so i created about 25 presets and use the gmajor for effects and channel switching the x15 changes presets and activates mute on my tuner. have been very happy thus far but after a busy gig schedule for the last couple of years we are taking a break. now i have my rig set up at home and want to really explore what the gmajor can do. btw, does anybody visit this site anymore???
