Which effect units have Relay for Channel Switching?

[Bash_Man]

hey guys,
I know that the Rocktron Replifex and T.C. G-Major both have the Relay for channel switching on amps.

any other effects units have that feature?


Thanks

I remember with the Rocktron Replifex.. when the Hush was added to the signal, it would add a volume swell when switching from a patch that has Hush Activated to another one. Does the Multivalve Do the same thing?


Thanks

$$$$ dont really have much to spend on a system that like.. but thanks for the suggestion Ed . I'd like to keep the spending budget at between $300 to $500.

The Replifex i had was really good.. and kick my self for selling it.

G-Major I've heard mixed reviews about it. Some people love it and say its great.. some people its good but it breaks in no time and it sucks/affect the tone.

I had the G Major for a while and moved to the Eventide Eclipse. It took me a while to get the levels setup but I did not think the G Major sucked my tone. It's relay switching works great and the effects are good overall IMHO. I liked the delays and chorus a lot on it. The flange/phase was really bad though. The compressor was not bad either for cleans even though it is not run before the amp. Never had an issue with it freezing up or breaking in 8 months. I had it when I got my Splawn Quick Rod and also had a G System at the same time. Both sounded really good with the Splawn IMHO after the levels were set correctly. Hope that helps.

I'm not a huge Beheringer fan, but I do like/and use the FCB 1010 foot controller. It has 2 programable relays.

I had one.. sold it and never looked back and wouldnt want to see another one.

The boss Gt-8 has a two channel relay. And can be found used for a decent price. The newer Gt-10 is out, not sure on the price, but that does the switching as well.

I had a G-Major, it seemed to do something to the sound that I couldnt dial out which I could with the GT-8. And if your not a fan of MIDI, the boss stuff is more menu based, rather than the midi number language.

I'm also looking for a solution to this. I'm getting the feeling that the pedal thing just isnt going to be for me in the long run, and already have 4 rack units (wireless, ISP, Furman, Parametric) so I'm pretty sure I'll eventually go back to a MIDI setup of some sort.

Unless I can get a GCX type system for decent.

Do you remember or be able to explain what the G-major added to the amp's tone?

I remember reading somewhere that different kind of amp's effect loops can affect the performance of the G-major and something on the G-major it self has to be set to match that effects loop.. dont remember exactly what it was.

I never use the Hush since it sucks tone, but I do recall needing to enable Hush (changing from pre-Hush to post-Hush) to adjust the volume parameter via a volume pedal. If you're referring to something else, let me know and I'll test it out on my unit.

 

[The_Kid]

I just remember it taking away the punchiness. I'm sure because the price point is similar to a Gt-8 that there is probably a setting that I just couldnt find to adjust. But I could never get the punchiness back. I was able to dial it in no problem in the settings on the GT-8

It was something else.. basicly when you enable the HUSH on a patch and switch from or to it.. there was a huge volume swell. I didnt know that was what caused it until i turned each of the effects off and found out that it was the HUSH. I dont re-call which HUSH Setting it was (Pre or post)

Ok! I found a G-Major locally for $350. maybe I'll pick it up and give it a try and see how I like it. If not, then maybe I'll go back to the Replifex and in-cooperate it with my Pedal board and use the ISP as a Noise gate and Korg as a tuner.

Look around more for a Gmajor. You can probably find one for $100 cheaper.

Just started messing with mine. I think the volume drop you're hearing is due to enabling Hush and not adjusting the Hush offset in the global present.

thats $350 canadian. Usually any type of music gear is priced higher than USA. Even when the USD and CND are dollar for dollar. I might be able to get it for $300.

Is that "issue" fixable by a setting?

I believe so, yes. I was messing with the Hush Offset (found in the Global area of the present), and it seems to control the overall Hush volume. I don't have any controller anymore, but based on just using the knobs to enable it on and off, I haven't been able to find any real issues with the volume fading in or out. The Replifex should have it, too.

Ok.. i just downloaded the Replifex's manual. Here's what it says about the HUSH Offset:

The HUSH OFFSET parameter allows you to globally (all presets)
adjust the HUSH® Expander Threshold. This means that if this parameter
is altered from 0dB to +3dB, the Expander Threshold will be 3dB
higher for all presets. This feature can be useful when switching from a
quiet guitar with passive electronics to a noisy guitar with active
electronics - as the active guitar would require a higher Threshold level
in all presets.

Did you notice the volume swell happen if the Offset is to 0 or 3dB? if not, would you be able to test that for me? try the Offset on 0dB.. then increase it 1 by 1 up to 3dB.

your help is much appriciated.
