Connecting GCX to Samson SM10 for parallel mixing in W/D/W rig
I just picked up a Bray Line Out Box and a Samson SM10 for the rack I am building, but struggling with the signal flow. I'm waiting for Voodoo Lab to send me the stereo upgrade mod for one of my GCX's.
As I understand it, I will take the dry signal from my last loop of dry pedals and run that to my preamp. Then I will put the Bray Line Out Box between my preamp and power amp. But where do I run that line out to? Back to the beginning of my wet effects in the GCX or to the Samson SM10?
My wet effects are in loops as follows:
MXR Carbon Copy
ADA 2FX (this is a rack unit that I assume needs a line level signal) - mono
Belle Epoch Deluxe
Eventide H9 - stereo in/out
Strymon Deco - stereo in via trs cable / stereo out
I'd like to be able to mix these effects in parallel, though I'd also like to have the Deco as last in series so it gives that tape saturation sound to the prior wet effects.
I'm just not entirely sure how the wet effects in the GCX talk to the line mixer or how to wire all this part up. Thanks in advance!

Re: Using Stereo Pedal with ABY amp switcher
Yeah, I figured that out about the Deco yesterday. Probably going to go the wet/dry route.

Using Stereo Pedal with ABY amp switcher
Trying to finalize my schematic for my rack build. I have a Strymon Deco that I'll be using at the end of my chain. I'd like to run it in stereo, but I'm just not really understanding how to accomplish the wiring here with my Radial Twin City ABY handling the amp switching.
I thought I'd run the out of the last mono pedal (Loop 6) to the "FX Return" of my OBEL Breakout Box >> onto the Twin City input >> Twin City Output A to Input of Loop 7 (left) and Output B to Loop 8 (right)...
But then where is the Deco pedal??? It only has a mono input, so I'm a bit confused.
The ideal solution for me would be to have the Deco before my OBEL Breakout Box, but that isn't essential.
Thanks in advance. Here's a link to my schematic:

Minimizing loop usage for multi amp switching
Going to be diving in to the GCX and Ground Control Pro manuals today to figure out amp switching, but thought you guys might have some answers.
I currently have two rack-based preamps (SMS Classic - one channel AND Tube Works Real Tube II with clean and dirty channel). I also have a Louis Electric KR12 with 4 gain inputs (I have the footswitch, but haven't used it much).
I typically use the KR12 and the SMS Classic in a dual setup (not really Wet/Dry, but I'd maybe like to try that at some point). The Real Tube II isn't hooked up right now, but I manually hook it up every now and then to the same can the SMS uses.
I'm planning to get a 1x12 cab for the Real Tube II later this year and maybe dabble with W/D/W, but for now I just want to be able to do the amp and channel switching using a minimum number of GCX loops as I'm quickly running outta them.
I currently use a Radial Twin City ABY to switch between the two amps, but haven't looked at how I'd configure this to allow me to switch gain channels on the KR12.
1) What's the best way to configure this with the GCX so that I can run the KR12 and SMS Classic AND have control over the KR12 amp switching?
2) I'm using a 2-channel Mosvalve 962 with the SMS. I manually switch the cables when I want to use my cab with the Real Tube II. Is there a way to use the GCX and Ground Control Pro so that I don't have to change the cables?
3) How could I switch between all three preamps and do channel switching in the two amps that offer that easily without manually switching any cables?
4) I really only have a few loops left to work with. Is there another device I can use that will allow me to use only 1, 2 or 3 loops in the GCX and still accomplish all the switching I want? If not, how many loops will I need to use to accomplish what I'm after?
5) How does my Radial ABY pedal fit into all of this or does it not?
Thanks in advance. I'll be looking into all of this today on my own as time allows, but I'm guessing people here already know this stuff.
