Voodoo Lab GCX Audio Switcher

I needed a switcher in order to control my stompboxes that are tucked away in a rack. There aren't so many of these switchers available anymore so the gcx seemed like a great solution. Although thomann clearly states it needs the ground control footcontroller in order to operate, since it has midi, I thought I would be able to get around this. The ground control footcontroller is too large for me. Well....thomann was absolutely right! Using any other footcontroller is NO option especially for programming this unit. This is, in my opinion, the big weakness of this product. Otherwise it's great and built like a tank but I couldn't program the thing so unfortunately, I had to send it back....
