A poor man's RJM Mini Effect Gizmo. Solid choice for a compact switcher.

So I'm in the process of building a rack rig, and we all know front-end effects require a switching system one way or another. However, the RJM products tend to be quite pricey, and the Voodoo Lab GCX requires proprietary MIDI cables with pins 1 and 3 removed as well as specific SPDIF programming in order to work with other MIDI controllers.

Enter the Voodoo Lab HEX. This is what I consider to be a poor man's RJM Mini Effect Gizmo. It features 6 series loops, with loop 1 isolated via the Input/Send/Return/Output design. The dimensions of the HEX is designed to be a half-rack unit, but it works just as well when placed on a rack shelf or underneath a pedalboard.

It does the job pretty good. So far this switcher hasn't failed on me, and it is pretty rock solid. I would trust this unit for live gigs for sure.

Having said that, it's not a perfect switcher. Switching loops in/out could be a bit quieter as it tends to produce a loud "tick" when loops are being toggled, and personally if loops 2-6 are wired in series, then I don't see much of a point in having loop 1 isolated into the I/S/R/O fashion. A bit dated design if I may say, but these are minor things that aren't that big of a deal-breaker for me.

The overall weight of the HEX is on the lighter side. Whether you see it as a pro or con is up to you to decide.

Overall, I think this is the perfect value switching system for stompboxes when you're tight on budget. It only costs $400 CAD and will give you 6 loops to switch in and out, and you can rackmount two HEX's with a mounting bracket if you want to.

Solid 4 stars for me. Very good effort, Voodoo Labs.
