I just wanted to say thanks for keeping this alive.
The GX-700 is still one of the best units Boss/Roland has ever produced. I have had it for years and still discover things I didn't know.
In recent years I reduced the size of my setup to make it easier to play live gigs.
At home I used to use a Marshall EL34 100/100 power amp into two Marshall 1960B 4x12 cabs. Not portable.
Now I have a four space rack, pedalboard and a 2x12 cab.
My rack is a power conditioner, the GX-700, a BBE 382i Sonic Maximizer and a Rocktron Velocity 300 1U power amp.
My pedalboard has a Roland FC-200 MIDI foot controller with a couple of extra switches, a wah and a volume pedal. The switches are Roland FS-7 and FS-5. One switch on the FS-7 is used to switch to tuner mode. The other one switches between patch change and "stompbox" mode. This allows me to control individual effects within a patch. The FS-7 is connected to ports on the back of the FC-200. The FS-5 is my "Solo" switch. It is connected to the control connector on the back of the GX-700. I have it setup to turn on the compressor and EQ for solos. The EQ is set flat but the output level is +3dB so I'm using it as a boost.
My cab is a Genz Benz G-Flex 2x12 with Celestion G12K-100 speakers in it. I run it in stereo. The Rocktron amp will put out 75 watts per channel into 8 ohms. This is a bit of a bigger cab with ports along the bottom. It's a big sounding 2x12 as well.
