On the rockmaster, just replace C26,28 308.

Thes should work but check the dimensions.

What I would try is to get rid of the 4 cable method. I would go into the rockmaster first and hook up the boss after the rockmaster. So nothing in the loop of the GX700.
That should also quiet things down IMO.

Hi Mjmp,

yes I've totally thought about this many times, but it leaves certain functions of the GX700 redundant then, like the compressor or wha wha for example.  I have an Rocktron Replifex that would be perfect for running like this, but this unit doesn't get used as it doesn't have a harmoniser like GX700 does.  Eventually the plan is to move over to a digitech GSP1101 and run that in 4 cable method also, again because it has harmonizer etc but this is a long way off.

However in the mean time, I might give your suggestion a try, just to see.

What way would you hook it up?  The GX700 has a guitar input so if I plug the rockmaster output into this might there be some kind of mismatch as it isn't instrument level?

I think you can try it out by starting at a low rockmaster volume, I saw in the manual it has a led meter so just make sure you levels are set correctly.

I forgot to try this out.  I will next week.  I'm assuming you mean just plug the Rockmaster into the front end of the GX700.

[MarshallJMP]

Yes I do. Let us know how that goes.

So I went another direction (however I will re-cap my equipment).  I removed the Rocktron Silencer altogether and decided to use the onboard noise reduction from the Boss Gx700.  Well feedback seems to have been greatly reduced and more under control.  I have even decided to mess about and add in EQ into the loop and act as boost in-front as opposed to the onboard Rockmaster boost for more distortion.  The whole reason I used an external noise gate was simply as I thought it would be better quality and less signal degrading.  Perhaps the GX700 just doesn't like that setup or I need to try a more suitable unit.  I do have a Rocktron Hush X at home that I would still like to try.  It should be more appropriate for this application than say a noise gate guitar pedal.  I still don't think it should have mattered but may be as I say the Boss just didn't like it.

Hey RG, well it's good that its improved.
