GCX switcher on the floor?

[nevusofota]

I am putting together a "B" rig pedal board and I wanted to use the small Peak midi controller with a GCX switcher for a about 5-6 pedals. I was wondering if anybody ever tried putting a GCX under a Pedal Train board. This way I can keep the board fairly small. Pics would be nice.

Check this out. I got this board as part of a package deal, and the GCX was mounted under the board. I'll elt you have it if you want to pay for shipping.

Very cool. I may have to take this off your hands. Could you send me the dimensions? It may be a bit large as I was trying to keep the board as small as possible. I was thinking the Pedal Train because it has that angle to it and comes with a hard case.
Thanks for offering.

Also a small board with this switcher would be great, even though the switcher is a bit expensive it is as cool as can be, it would be the GCX, MIDI Switcher and amp switching as well as expression pedal support and midi out.

I've thrown a GCX on the floor a few times.....

The musiccom looks great and basically does everything imaginable. There are 3 benefits of the GCX however 1) I don't have to take up an entire loop to send a signal to the effects loop of my amp (the GCX has an In and Out for each loop) 2)cost--I could get a Peak midi controller for $150 and a used GCX for $200. So I could have the same control for $350 vs. the Musicom's $750 3) Mounting the looper (GCX) under the pedal board would save real estate, so I could use a smaller board, loopers take up space because of all the cables coming out of the back of them.

Excellent points!! The cost alone makes enough sense to not do it. I have often thought in the past of putting my old GCX under a board. Roosters Trailer Trash boards have a rise to them, so it might fit perfectly under one of them. No matter the solution I hope you get it working for you!!
