Hey guys, I've had a gmd40 for a little over a year and a half now. I'm looking for something that will combine/replace my amp's footswitch as well as my pedal board. More specifically, I'm looking for a multi fx that can switch channels/presets on my amp, but also has footswitches to use for stombox functionality.
I'm thinking a helix or headrush would be the way to go, as they both have midi capabilities and plenty of footswitches for assigning presets and effects.
That being said, I've also stumbled across the Boss MS3. It's got over 100 effects, 3 loops for my current pedals, as well as midi. My only complaint is the lack of footswitches; I'd be relying on presets for fx rather than being able to turn them on and off at will.
This has me wondering if I'd be able to combine the Boss MS3 with my stock footswitch or possibly a tech 21 midi mongoose.
For reference, I'd like at least 4 footswitches besides my channel/preset switches(delay, flanged, pitch shift and reverb) although having more than that wouldn't be a disappointment. Any input you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated.
