How can I do all my effects/amp switching together easily?

[geetarmikey]

I'm looking to find the best bit of gear that will do things like change from the clean channel to the dirty channel w/chorus added, to the lead channel with delay added etc.... all at the touch of one footswitch?

How do I do this using my amp head (Marhsall 6100 30th anni) and effects pedals with as little extra gear as possible?

Thanks, guys!

RJM Rack Gizmo is the best option IMO. You could also use a multi-effects unit with something like a RJM Mini Amp Gizmo if you want to ditch the pedals.

Kyle Rhodes also has a switcher coming out: http://rhodesamplification.com/products/switchers/b8

Hands down one of the best gear purchases I have ever made.

I second this. Looks to be he best all in one unit. If you want to rack mount/drawer your
pedals then the RJM stuff would be a better choice, but you will spend alot more buying a footswitcher plus your RJM switching router.

The Musicom EFX MKIII looks like an easy all in one solution...

Agreed...awesome switcher...seemless, well built, quality...etc.

Whats the differences with the voodoo labs GCX and the Rack gizmo? Rack gizmo seems to be double the price of the GCX. Is it worth it? I have only used the GCX so far

One Control makes an alternative to the Musiccom for cheaper.

I recently learned of the Moen GEC9 which is essentially the same thing (minus one loop) for $299. I've read up on it and it's getting good reviews on TGP, etc. Build quality, functionality and features (silent switching, good buffer) all seem to be there.

Found another one.

$110 for 8 loops with 32 programmable presets. No buffer or "popless" switching but cool for someone looking for a looper/switcher on the cheap.
