So since i own a Line6 toneport my songwriting took on a new style incorporating more different effects and sound during a single song than before(i was streigt ahead death metal and now my style sounds alittle more like opeth with all the switching soundscape etc.)

For live use i want to keep my Engl Sovereign as the basis since the range of tones from it is great and very useable but i kinda dislike tapdacning with twenty pedals but i also don't need amp modeling like in the boss GT-series.

I think a TC G-Major might be what i'm looking for but i don't know how it could get all the switching done that the Z-10 footwitch can do(all four channels and reverb on/off) while also switching the effects so i guess that's what midi is for since i don't know shit about midi.

The Sovereign has the same wide printer-style midi port as the Savage 120 has so i have no clue how to make it work. There are three 1/4" jacks on it for switching but a g-major only has two relais i think.

So have the switching functions of the Z-10 along with switching effect presets on the g-major what are the components i need?

Or should i get a GT-8 run it in the loop for all the modulation and time bases effects i need(don't really need amp modeling but the other effects are very handy) and switch the amp using that(it's supposed to do that)

Help me,i'm confused

Ok I've read up a little further and i think a GT-8 should do what i want in a more cost-effective way than a full midi setup. The GT-8 has a single amp control switch that's obviously mono since it can only do one funtion.
The engl sovereing has a stereo switching jack for switching the main channels(clean/crunch + soft lead/heavy lead) on the mono terminal and between clean and crunch(mode 1 and two of main channel 1) on the stereo terminal.
Since i barely use crunch and soft lead i could set the amp up for clean on main channel1 and heavy lead on main channel 2 and then switch using the mono jack from the GT-8. As i see it the clean/crunch switching shouldn't be affected since it won't be in the circuit when using a mono jack. I could still switch on crunch and soft lead by hand but for live use i don't need them anyway.
Anyone else except myself thinks that this should work?

made a new threa,please delte this one
