Since you only need to control one pedal, you may want to consider replacing the foot controller with a Behringer FCB 1010 which has this option already integrated into it (and is fairly low cost). Unfortunately you will need to acquaint yourself with MIDI to be able to set everything up. Speaking from experience it can be frustrating because of poorly written manuals, but not impossible (thanks to google :) )

The whole point is to not have to use my foot more than once. I need the ability 
to change patches and have the appropriate pedal engaged/bypassed. Besides, I'm 
already using the 2101's fx loop for my power amp and mics.

Thanks for explaining more of what MM meant. I understand that all pedals will need to remain on and the switcher would just bypass them when they aren't needed; but what I really do not know is, will such a MIDI switcher understand GSP-2101 parameter toggles? I'd like for one button on the Control One to disable GSP-2101 distortion, bypass my overdrive pedal and engage my acoustic simulator pedal all at the same time. And, of course, vice versa.

My overdrive pedal is placed before my GSP-2101. The FX loop goes out to a power amp, an isocab with 2 mics hooked up to a multitrack and from there back to the FX return. This brings power tube saturation into the mix and preserves digital effects for recording (as opposed to mic'ing the final output and losing detail). From there, the GSP-2101 outputs to the multitrack and from there, out to the house mixer and to solid state power for monitors and cabs. My live recordings can be achieved the same as a studio recording (minus all the takes). However, to this day, I have not yet done a live gig nor finished an album; I'm simply a hobbyist who's planning in advance.

I'd like to get a Peavey 50/50. My Mesa Strategy 400 is way too heavy (feels like 1000 lbs.). But really I only use the 400 when I'm running 2 stacks (gigs only) so then its good to have. Otherwise I bring my 2101 only and just XLR it to whatever P.A. is available (travelling light).

2 stacks is a lot but it just says "rock and roll".

Ahh you luddites, but then technology is not for wimps, to quote my favourite Dilbert t-shirt! :) LOL!!

I must admit, I am also not completely sold on 'just digital simulation', my signal chain is 11 rack to 15 band Berhinger stereo eq to a Peavy 50/50 valve poweramp which feeds two BR12 Yamaha PA speakers or a 4x10 if switch of the cab models. I originally started by using my Marshall 80/80 valvestate poweramp, but it did not cut it, as the tone was missing that something special only a true valve amp seems to bring to the party! Once I added the valve power amp the tone is the best I've ever got. (I just need to play as good as the tone now, LOL!). I'm also finding I am using the 4x10 less and less, as the cab models really are very good! Of course all of this overkill for my 'man cave', but we need our toys (you'll have to pry them from my cold dead hands') !!!

I was using the GSP 2101 in the effects loop of the 11 Rack (primarily for stereo delay/reverb and pitch shift effects) but it was all getting a bit more complicated then I wanted (spending more time programing then playing), so for now the GSP2101 and my Marshall 80/80 are sitting on the shelf.....

Still, I am now seriously way off topic, erhmm...yeah way of topic......sorry.... ;)

Cool. I'm not going with the new digital stuff that's out now cuz I already bought everyhting else and I'd rather stick with the real thing, cuz the worst thing for me would be to find out years later that I made the wrong decision.

Plus, digital is "simulation" :P

I'd like to get a Peavey 50/50. My Mesa Strategy 400 is way too heavy (feels 
like 1000 lbs.). But really I only use the 400 when I'm running 2 stacks (gigs 
only) so then its good to have. Otherwise I bring my 2101 only and just XLR it 
to whatever P.A. is available (travelling light). 

 
2 stacks is a lot but it just says "rock and roll".

Ahh you luddites, but then technology is not for wimps, to quote my favourite 
Dilbert t-shirt! :) LOL!! 


I must admit, I am also not completely sold on 'just digital simulation', my 
signal chain is 11 rack to 15 band Berhinger stereo eq to a Peavy 50/50 valve 
poweramp which feeds two BR12 Yamaha PA speakers or a 4x10 if switch of the cab 
models. I originally started by using my Marshall 80/80 valvestate poweramp, but 
it did not cut it, as the tone was missing that something special only a true 
valve amp seems to bring to the party! Once I added the valve power amp the tone 
is the best I've ever got. (I just need to play as good as the tone now, LOL!). 
 I'm also finding I am using the 4x10 less and less, as the cab models really 
are very good! Of course all of this overkill for my 'man cave', but we need our 
toys (you'll have to pry them from my cold dead hands') !!! 

I was using the GSP 2101 in the effects loop of the 11 Rack (primarily 
for stereo delay/reverb and pitch shift effects) but it was all getting a bit 
more complicated then I wanted (spending more time programing then playing), so 
for now the GSP2101 and my Marshall 80/80 are sitting on the shelf.....  

Still, I am now seriously way off topic, erhmm...yeah way of topic......sorry. 
... ;)

Cool. I'm not going with the new digital stuff that's out now cuz I already 
bought everyhting else and I'd rather stick with the real thing, cuz the worst 
thing for me would be to find out years later that I made the wrong decision.

Plus, digital is "simulation" :P

That reminds me ... I've just uploaded a picture of my GSP-2101 / Mesa 20/20 setup. This setup handles any gig I play. It's easy to mic the two Celestion cabs for larger venues where essentially my setup becomes my stage monitor.

Just threw the 400 on the scale. 68.9 lbs. with the 4 space rack covering it. 
 
Feels a lot heavier though.

DOH!! Sorry should have said 60/60 was looking at the 50/50, but got a great 
deal on the 60/60 on Craigs list  ($200 and plus just over a $100 to re-tube 
it). That sucker isn't to light either, just shy of 27lbs!

I'd like to get a Peavey 50/50. My Mesa Strategy 400 is way too heavy (feels 
like 1000 lbs.). But really I only use the 400 when I'm running 2 stacks (gigs 
only) so then its good to have. Otherwise I bring my 2101 only and just XLR it 
to whatever P.A. is available (travelling light). 

 
2 stacks is a lot but it just says "rock and roll".
