GCX system mix..why do I have it? do I need it?

[mixohoytian]

I have the 1/2 space little gcx mixer that I have no clue how to use
I bought it back in college, and hired a guy to wire the whole rack thing for me

should I keep this mixer?
what I am trying to do now:
wet/dry
or possible a wet dry wet
rig

do I still need this piece of gear?
here's what gcx says about it:

Add a mixer (like our System Mix Plus) to create a parallel effects system and use GCX loops to mute the inputs to your rack effects. This allows effects like delay and reverb to trail off naturally.



Its all about doing a parallel thing right?
wouldn't it be irrelevant for me?
I would have 100% wet + 100% dry and therefore no need for this...I think?


Thanks


pS
I sold all the rack gear but kept the gcx related stuff so I can switch pedals some day

The only thing you would really need it for would be to blend multiple preamps/fx processors in a parallel set-up, so it doesn't sound like you need it at the moment. Check your pm!
