Dual Rectifier custom cable for Control Switcher

Hi guys

I know I can use the 4 individual jacks which I have been doing, but to tidy things up a bit I’d like to look at using a DIN cable to the amp instead.

Dual Rec has 3 channels and a solo boost (not fussed about FX loop off/on) and has a 7 pin DIN port.

Does anyone have any info on what I’d need to have made? I’m assuming 7 pin to 5 pin DIN cable but is there anything else I need to know?

Thanks

Control Switcher Question

Amateur hour again, apologies for a simple question.

My control switcher works great with my Mesa.
I also know it will work with my Marshall with a custom cable.

My question is, is it possible to switch channels on both at the same time? Ideal use case is being able to leave the multi custom cable and the Mesa jack cables plugged into the switcher all the time and use either one amp at a time at home or both together (into two separate cabs, both always connected to a load)?

Re: Stereo

Thanks! That actually makes sense and will probably work by the sounds of it.

The setup right now is slightly different but I recently toyed around with some of the effects in stereo after the cab sim instead of in the amp loop and they sound 100x better after the cab sim vs in the parallel FX loop.

Current setup is:

On the ground - Ground Control Pro - wireless receiver -> tuner -> whammy dt -> wah -> phase 90 -> GCX

GCX loops:
Tubescreamer (into front of Dual Rectifier)
EQ pedal (FX loop)
Chorus (FX loop)
Memory Man Dekay (FX loop)
Flashback x4 Delay (FX loop)
Amp Channel 1
Amp Channel 3 (access channel 2 by selecting neither loop)
Solo/Boost on amp

Amp speaker out to Captor X cab sim
Cab sim stereo out to Boss RC 5 loop
RC5 stereo out to monitors

Ideally I’d like to move at least one of the delays to the spot between the Captor and the Loop pedal. It’s actually incredible how much better the loop pedal sounds after the cab sim instead of in the amp’s loop!

Stereo

Hey - I’ve done a search and not come up with an answer, please help 😊.

I know there are stereo mods which can be done, but putting that to one side, imagine I have a standard GCX with 2 unused loops, and 1 stereo delay pedal with stereo in/stereo out, and a stereo signal coming from a cab sim.

How would I hook this up using the two empty loops to send the stereo signal from the cab sim into the delay pedal in stereo and out again to a PA/active monitors in stereo?

Thanks!

Beginner Help

Hey there,

Trying to get my head around creating a new live setup which is gonna be heavy but hopefully very, very ‘plug and play’ which is what I’m looking for.

I have a list of gear and a list of requirements and I’m really hoping someone can lend a hand and explain how things should be wired up and what cables I’ll need. Newish to MIDI but I’ll be able to figure it out once things are actually plugged in correctly I hope.

Gear (all to be housed in one super heavy awesome custom rack with a built in amp head shelf for the Mesa)

Dual Rectifier (3 channel with channel switch jacks on the back)
GCX
Ground Control Pro
Bunch of pedals to sit in the rack drawer (some to go in effects loop, some to go in front of amp) - 1 is midi controllable delay)
Wireless guitar system in the rack
Two Notes Captor X cab IR (mainly for home use at lower volumes through studio monitors but ideally will also use live to send direct signal to FOH)
Morley switchless wah (most annoying part, needs to be in front of amp - at some point may switch to using built in wah of a gmajor with an expression pedal but super addicted to the switchless operation)

Any help appreciated, dumb it down as much as possible :)
