G Lab GSC-3 Guitar Effect MIDI Amp Switching System

No longer available at zZounds
Press one of ten footswitches to activate selected effects loops, set amp channels and functions, and perform various other tasks with the GSC-3 MIDI switch.

Guitar System Controller GSC-3 is a programmable switching device of effects' loops (looper). The GSC-3 replaces the amp's footswitch and the MIDI foot controller in one convneient package. By pressing a single footswitch you can: activate selected effects (connected to effects loops), set the amp channel and other amp's functions controlled by its footswitch input, select program numbers for MIDI devices (e.g. effects' processors) and transmit Control Change type commands.

True passive signal path doesn't contain any active elements (gaining the signal) which could alter the tone. All effects and the input buffer are attached by electro-mechanical relays into the signal path (TRUE BYPASSED circuits).

Features:

- Six loops for connecting effects
- Possibility of switching on the high impedance input buffer (identical with a tube amp characteristics) at any preset
- TUNER output with the silent tuning function which receives the signal through very high impedance circuit (no influence on a guitar signal)
- Six 9V DC outputs supplying effects (in two separate sections, 500mA each)
- 2 separated outputs (2 lines each, latching type) for amp's switching by its footswitch input
- MIDI output for controlling MIDI devices by Program Change and Control Change command
- Tap tempo function (sending the tempo to the MIDI device)
- 100 presets memory (10 banks, 10 presets each)
- Possibility of copying of whole bank and single preset
- Possibility of putting down the modyficator read more function to the footswitches (ON/OFF effect, switching amp channel or call the preset on the particular MIDI device
- AUX connector for connecting an extension modules, eg. AUX BANK UP/DOWN FOOTSWITCH WITH MIDI IN
- USB connector for connecting to a PC, enabling downloading, editing and saving presets, also firmware upgrades
- 10 metal footswitches with backlighted descriptions (GSC-3 version)
- Input for connecting a wah-wah effect pad (wah-pad) to control the system by placing the foot on the wah-wah effect
- External power supply with 4 meters long and flexible cable
- Durable, powder-coated casing
