Looks like a pretty good rig. I've been interested in those MTS modules for some time. My only question lies in using the RF4 footswitch. I'd assume you've got the G-Major going through your effects loop, but how're you going to turn on and off the effects if you're just using the RF4? You're gonna need a midi controller with a few more bells and whistles like a DMC Ground Control or something to that effect.

Also, in terms of your pedalboard, what're you using to power the board? A Voodoo Labs pedalpower or something like that? That, I think, would be your best bet. You can power your weeping demon, your GR-33, the headrush and the visual volume. Plus, you can mount it on the bottom side of the pedal train so it's not taking up space.

Is the output if your GR-33 going into the amp or out to a PA?

What's your signal chain?

The RF4 is a simple midi channel switch. I can program each of the buttons to a different combination of pre amps and gmajor presets. The pedalboard is still being worked out and there are alot of options.

The signal chain is volume-wah- looper- RM100 preamp- gmajor via series loop.The GR33 is currently plugged into my paralell fx loop return.

Thanks for the recomendation on the Voodoo Labs pedalpower.
