X3 Live variax out as control port?

Hi all.

   A bit of an odd question. I use an X3 live for just about everything. I recently acquired a Spider iv 120 combo and think it has some potential for some circumstances but don't have a foot controller.  Because it has no midi etc I can't use the X3 live to control it.

 

was just wondering if anyone had tried to use the variax socket ethernet to control a spider combo?  Its just preset changes I want to achieve. I know that the variax port must send control change info but didn't want to plug it in and try as I know power is also present and don't want to fry the spider ethernet socket.

 

The simple logic is, if the variax socket sends control data - can the spider read it?  Will the connection cause any conflict?

 

This may seem like a stupid question to some but I would appreciate the advice of anyone who is technical enough to suggest whether to try it or not.

 

many thanks to anyone who cares to comment.

Ok thank you for that info. I understand that the two things obviously were made to marry in this way. Perhaps better to just buy a pedal.

In your opinion, would the original up down pedals that came with the duo verb etc send the correct info to a spider?
