Trying to wrap my head around how to set this up. Please let me know if my thought process is correct.

Currently running 4CM: Wireless =>Tuner =>Wah =>NS2 In =>NS2 Snd =>AmpRtn AmpSnd =>Chorus =>Flange =>Phaser =>Delay =>NS2 Rtn NS2 Out =>Amp In 3 Amp channels, Clean, Rock & Metal The problem is going from full on metal to a clean with chorus or the like. Wah sounds best in front of the amp and its switchless (Crybaby), so that's not usually an issue. I'm thinking of getting the: GCP - Ground Control Pro GCX - Switcher Lab Control Switcher From the research I have done, it looks like the V3M, although not midi, the lab control switcher, the multi out will channel change the V3M including boost. So with some programming can I do channel and effects changing with everything I've listed?

This is a brief description of the Boss GT-100 controlling, via midi the Carvin V3 amplifier. This is a nice set. View and Download Carvin V3 operating manual online. The V3 allows you to set-up both overdrive channels. Carvin’s FS22 is recommended because no rewiring.

Anyone have the V3M? Is my logic flawed? Thanks in advance.

_________________ -Chadster. I am not following the logic behind how you're using the NS-2 loop. Wireless =>Tuner =>Wah =>NS2 In =>NS2 Snd =>AmpRtn AmpSnd =>Chorus =>Flange =>Phaser =>Delay =>NS2 Rtn NS2 Out =>Amp In As described above, the signal routing makes no sense. You show the NS-2 Loop Send is going to your amp's FX Return jack, so there's really nothing in the loop itself. Then you're routing your amp's FX Send through four modulation effects into the NS-2 Loop Return and then from the NS-2 to the front of your amp, so if you take the effects out of the equation you're feeding your amp's FX Send directly to your amp's Input, again without actually running anything through the NS-2 Loop.

Given that the wireless, tuner, wah, and effects pedal positions won't change, you've got two options here, and both put your effects in the NS-2 Loop as follows: NS-2 Loop Send =>Chorus =>Flange =>Phaser =>Delay =>NS-2 Loop Return Option 1: Effects pedals in front of your amp Wah =>NS-2 In Effects in NS-2 Loop NS-2 Out =>Amp Input Option 2: Effects pedals in amp's FX Loop Wah =>Amp Input Amp FX Loop Send =>NS-2 In Effects in NS-2 Loop NS-2 Out =>Amp FX Loop Return So much for the signal routing. Now either a GCX or a Control Switcher will let you change channels on the VM3, but neither will let you do anything with the Boost.

I got this driectly from the VM3 Operating Manual: 27. BOOST LEVEL CONTROL Use the rear panel BOOST LEVEL to add up to 6 dB of volume boost for solos. This function can be only turned off/on with the FS44L-V3M footswitch. Without the FS44L-V3M footswitch the BOOST is left ON; in this case the BOOST LEVEL affects the volume of the amp, acting as an effect loop return level. The front panel GREEN LED will light when the BOOST function is ON. _________________ I am not affiliated with Voodoo Lab in any way, just sharing what little MIDI and signal routing knowledge I have.

I've been using an NS-2 for so long I can't remember how many years it's been, and after tracing your signal routing through the connections you described, I still believe your actually bypassing the loop entirely. The post on the Carvin forum you are referencing is a little bit misleading because, although the Control Switcher itself receives MIDI information from an outboard MIDI Foot Controller, it doesn't really 'add' MIDI capabilities to any amplifier. It merely takes incoming MIDI info and translates it into Normal, Reverse, or Momentary Switching info that it passes on to an amp, either via the four Control Jacks or a 5-pin DIN cable.

The DIN/MIDI cable works by shorting out two of the pins which, in turn, activate a particular switching function on the amp depending upon which two pins are shorted out. I know I'm splitting hairs there, but thought a little clarification might be in order. That being said, I believe I can retract my previous statement. It is entirely possible that, using the Control Switcher's MULTI Connector, you will be able to control the Boost function on the VM3 as well as channel switching. Let us know how you make out, and also how you like the VM3. It looks like an interesting little amp. _________________ I am not affiliated with Voodoo Lab in any way, just sharing what little MIDI and signal routing knowledge I have.

(I threw in the Carvin 4-button Footswitch schematic as well) With this set-up, you will be able to access all four Footswitch functions on the V3M and all you need, between the Carvin Footswitch Jack and the Control Switcher Multi-out Connector, is a 5-Pin Midi Cable with all 5 wires straight through (most midi cables only connect pins 1, 2, and 3 straight through) The Control Switcher will give you Very-Powerful-Control for your amp! I hope this helps seeya Joe _________________.

Thank you for the diagram, I can get the voodoo to change amp channels including boost. Now its just a matter of deciding if I want to try the GCP/GCX.

I'm thinking I could save a few $ if I could use the X3Live for effects but I seem to have failed on the 4CM set up, I think I'm only getting the power amp portion of the V3M, because regardless of channel everything is clean. Here's the setup I'm using straight from L6 FAQ: Instrument >X3Live guitar in X3Live effect loop send >instrument input of amplifier Amplifier effect loop send >X3Live effect loop return X3 line output >Amplifier effect loop return. _________________ -Chadster. As an experiment, you could try putting the X3 effects directly in the Carvin FX Loop by connecting the Carvin FX Send to the X3 Guitar In and then running the X3 L/MONO Output back to the Carvin FX Return. Be sure to turn off the amp modeling in the X3. This won't give you the full versatility of the 4CM, but if you do this and everything is still clean, you'll know the channel switching isn't working properly.
