USE WITH GROUND CONTROL PRO
Using the Voodoo Lab Ground Control Pro, you will access Control Switcher as if
it were four loops of a GCX Guitar Audio Switcher. Ground Control Pro assigns
loops in the order the devices are chained. For example, a Control Switcher
connected directly
to Ground Control Pro’s MIDI OUT will be GCX#1 loops 1-4. A
2nd Control Switcher would then be GCX#2 loops 1-4. Alternately, if MIDI is
routed to a GCX first and then Control Switcher, the GCX is #1 and Control
Switcher becomes GCX#2.
You will setup Gro
und Control Pro as if you have a GCX. Here’s how:
1.) Press both SETUP buttons to enter setup mode.
2.) Press EXPANDERS.
3.) Press YES/+ to turn on GCX-1. You have enabled GCX#1 loops 1-8. To
enable more GCX loops, press BANK
then YES/+ to turn on GCX-2. You can
enable up to four GCX modules.
4.) Press either SETUP button to see “EXIT Y/N” then press YES/+ to exit setup
mode.

to assign instant access buttons to individual loops and create preset
combinations of loop settings.
USE WITH PX-8 PLUS
The Voodoo Lab PX-8 PLUS pedalboard loop switcher provides true bypass for
better tone and let’s you recall preset combinations of pedal effects with a single
button press. Addin
g Control Switcher let’s each PX-8 PLUS preset recall your
amp settings as well for a complete one button tonal makeover.
PX-8 Plus should be configured for
Preset Method
which is the default setting. If
this setting has been changed, refer to SETUP in the PX-8 PLUS manual. When
you recall a preset on PX-8 PLUS, it will send a MIDI program change (PC)
message on MIDI channel 1.
For Control Switcher to respond to PX-8 PLUS, you must enable program
change (PC). To do this, power on while holding button #1. Release when LEDs
flash. Now press button #1 once so its LED is on and all others off. Remove
power.
