This board makes anything possible.
So there many different options on the market today for being able to control your effects.
This just seems to be one of the best options out there. Teamed up with the GCX Switcher, its a match made in heaven.
So I don't like big pedal boards. Never have. In most venues ive played in, your limited on space, so that last thing you want is to not actually be able to fit your board on the floor in front of you.
The ground control pro does away with that problem. I literally have just this on the floor in front of me and thats it. Its powered by phantom power from the GCX unit which means instead of having 3 jack leads, and a power cable running out the front. I have a small midi cable and Im sorted.
I also sing a lot. So when changing paths, I don want be tap dancing to turn the delay and boost on, plus a bit of reverb. I just have to hit one button, and it all comes on. So easy and works every time.
Only negative i've had with this board is, over time the buttons wear out. They can be replaced though, and relatively cheap too. Just make sure you get someone who's qualified to do the work, otherwise you'll end up in a pickle.
Overall, an incredible Midi controller for the money.

King of all controllers
Well I would find it hard for anyone to argue with this as being one of the best controllers on the market.
I have mine hooked up to an Engl Savage Midi Box, GCX switcher and G-Major 2. I can do several things just in one button press.
It has stomp box similarities and can be set to act as a stomp box mechanism when used with an audio switcher. Just plug in your pedals and assign each pedal to once button on the GCP and off you go.
I use mine in an 8/4 mode, where I use the 8 switches to control my sounds from the GCX audio switcher. The other 4 buttons I use to program in my grouped settings.
E.g. on button 1, I have a distortion setting from my amp, a G Major 2 delay effect and a noise gate from my decimator which kicks in.
Effectively it can control several devices at once all by midi and then still has room to allow stomp effects to be setup.
Compatible with the G Major, POD's, Kempers and all midi enabled devices, it's definitely something worth investing in, especially if you don't like tap dancing live!

Voodoo Lab Ground Control Pro
I purchased this unit alongside the rack mounted switching unit. The good arrived in a matter of days from Thomann, very well packaged.
This is a solid, quality unit. There are more technical midi units out there, but for ease of setup (when combined with the rack switcher) I found it very straightforward.
The display is bright and clear, and the footswitches themselves are well-spaced and of good quality.
The one thing I?d like to see in future would be some form of Mac/PC based editor, however the instruction manual is comprehensive and this is not essential.
Overall, highly recommended and something I could see lasting for years.
