I have been slowly building my rig now for awhile. I feel its time for me to invest in a loop/switcher kinda thing to help me better manage all the effects i got going on and to help cut out tone loss and excess noise. Trey uses the CAE switcher and I am contemplating getting one but with the midi controller they're a bit pricey. So ive been looking into alternatives. Voodoo Lab Gcx, loop master are a few things that might suffice but i was wondering if maybe i could get some feedback from anyone who has any of these before i spend the cash. Also does anyone have any experiance dealing with CAE since they only make switchers custom to order i was wondering if the're easy to deal with and how long the process takes. Thanks for the help!!
