NPsD! Moen GEC9

Post by colejustesen »

I got my Moen GEC9 switcher today!!! It is smaller than the Octa-Switch I had previously, but switches just as fast and quietly! This switcher totally rocks. I have setup to switch the drive function on/off using one of the loops; so I can have it switch on the drive when I want plus whatever pedal I want with it! Seriously for $300, this unit is going to be great!

My only challenge I have now is regaining real estate on my pedal board since the plugs on my cables stick out so far. Some low profile plugs like the Lava Cable solderless kit are in order!

Anyway, here are some pictures of it!

I will get a video up of it functioning at some point [maybe tomorrow]. I just need to get my KT77 tubes installed and biased first. They are scheduled to be here tomorrow, so I will play it by ear...

I can definitely see why you wanted to get it, man. Just tinkering around with that making different presets sounds fun. Is the programing on that pretty straight forward?

By the way, what is that Ouija pedal? I don't think I've seen that before.

It really is fun to setup! I have a total of 50 presets that I can setup using the 9 loops.. I have loops 1-3 designated before my preamp, loop 4S goes to the amp input & Loop 4R comes from the effects loop send, loops 5-8 are designated for the effects loop, and loop 9 is setup for turning on/off the drive function on my amp.

It also has a buffer in/out as well as a non-buffer in/out, so I have my wah setup to get the buffered signal and my other pedals to be non-buffered :thu: The tuner has a dedicated clean/mute out that I have it connected to.

As far as setting the presets, it is extremely straight forward. You select the patch and then select which loops you want on via the 9 buttons in the upper left by the LCD display.

By utilizing the trigger to turn the drive on/off, I essentially created a two channel amp. Then add that I can turn on/off whatever pedal I want at the same time as switching the drive on/off makes this an extremely versatile setup!

The Ouija pedal is a fuzz that is made my El Ray Effects [http://elreyfx.com/html/mystic.html] It looks like he changed the name to Mystic instead of Ouija, but with the Ouija influenced graphics. It is funny, because I wasn't fond of this pedal with my Tweaker 15 head or my Marshall JCM900 MkIII; but with the drive on my amp turned on and the fuzz turned on it sounds damn good!

I am loving this setup! LOVING IT :love:

That is cool!

It looks far too complex for my simple mind, but it looks like it'd be super useful!

It really isn't too complex at all. The hardest part is not mixing up which cable goes where; it happened a couple of times to me tonight... Once it was setup, nothing but easy :thu:

I hear the words "pre-set" and my brain goes into panic mode. :lol:

I'd love to get a loop-master 3 or 4 space switcher. They're analog so no presets or whatever, but otherwise they function the same.

That is really cool. :thu:
