Voodoo Lab Control Switcher MIDI Amp Commander

Works really well with my Mesa Road king. I use this with a Boss ES-8 to switch the primary channels. It only has 4 channes so I dont get it for loops or solo but I dont want that either. You could do a second if that is what you want but at that point I would say get the rjm amp gizmo. Great and small. Had to ask for help from support to program but that was because I wasnt to clear on the midi part. Unit is small, compact and easy to use. I highly recommend for any 4 channel amp. You could also use it to go between multiple amps, say two marshall 900s.

This effects channel switcher is capable of more than they advertise. which is my main criticism, i.e. they need a better manual. You'll need to peruse the forums to understand it's full capabilities. Others complain that it doesn't have a stereo outlet, but I’ve found that this is usually unnecessary for stereo effects pedals, since you can cable the pedal’s dual outlets to other effects loops at the end of the chain. There is a limited number of switching channels for effects loops (two, at least, it seems so, at this stage of my experimentation).

If you are a guitar player that uses a channel switching amp with a MIDI capable rack mount type affects processor, then this control switcher is the way to go to make the amp channel switching and effect processor patch changes at the same time. This control switcher connects to a midi foot controller then to your amp's footswitch jack(s) via standard 1/4 inch cables and will allow pretty much any amp with footswitch jack inputs to be controlled by a MIDI foot controller. It is fairly easy to program if you read and follow the directions carefully. With my rig (Behringer FCB1010, Bugera TriRec amp head, and Digitech GSP1101 effects processor), I'm able to change amp channels and patches on the GSP1101 at the simultaneously by only tapping on one switch on the FCB1010. It can control up to 4 footswitch capable changes on your amp. With the Bugera TriRec head, I use this control switcher to switch between the three channels on the amp and the amp's boost function. As far as I know this is the only way to switch an analog amp via MIDI and it works well if set up properly.

This is the best device I've purchased in a long time. It enabled my old 2000 Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier to be controlled remotely with just about any MIDI controller available. I am now able to switch channels with a single MIDI cable from my TC Electronic Nova system, my Kemper Stage or my BOSS ES-5 pedal switcher. It works like a charm, its compact and sturdy. highly recommended.

What a godsend. Nice small footprint. It's really easy to set up even for a guy just learning midi. Quality metal housing. I would buy another one if this one ever died, but, I don't think that will be a problem. Absolutely recommend this product.

Works great w Bogner 3534, integrates with my midi system for channel switching the amp and using the Boost function.

Once I researched YouTube on how to program the switcher and went to Voodoo Lab Forum, I was well pleased with its functionality and performance. With that being written, I am giving this product a 4 star rating. Here is why the rating. The manual does not come with instructions with any type of detail programing. Otherwise I would give it a 5 star rating. If one is going to purchase this product, one should do their homework first.

You have to dig a little to understand how this works, but once you do this is easy to program.
