"I can’t say enough about the GCX. It’s a great way to route your signal. There is a reason I always have this piece of gear laying around for more serious gigging situations. You can truly do anything with it; if people knew what it was capable of I believe they would think twice about going digital. Digital and direct rigs are not my bag; I prefer latches, switches, knobs, and hard work on the fretboard. I think this mentality builds a player rather than letting technology do the acclimating or adjusting. Covering your inadequacies will never help you truly improve. Just like in life, if you grow a pair and face shit head-on, it can be worked out eventually."
