JCM 2000 DSL/ HD500x switching channels on amp with pedal?

Hello all.

I hope I put this in the right area of the Forum.

 

I have been using my Hd 500x most of the time as an effects pedal.

 

Using the 4 cable method to utilize my amps distortion but have been using

an amp simulator on the pedal for clean, say using channel 'c' on all banks for my clean settings.

 

I would like to some how assign a channel to switch the amp channel to clean

and add efects to it rather then use an amp/sim on the pedal.

I do have some pretty great clean sounds but nothing quite as nice as the marshall clean(imho)

 

I have an A/B channel switcher for the amp, but to switch the amp cahnnel then switch to the assigned

channel('c') to get the effect i need is not seemless unuf.

 

I have zero experience with midi or expresion pedals and am at a loss on how to achieve this.

 

Does any body have a solution that may help me with this project?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Rick

@gangster

Is it possible to add midi jack mod to my amp by an

Amp technician? If so would my 500X be able to switch it then, if he configured it that way?

 

@space

I seen a youtube video where fellow, using the 4cm,

Added a distortion pedal in the effects chain loop, (MXR dist 111)was able to assign a button on the 500x to

Turn it on and off. (Gotta find that video)

 

My Marshall pedal for switching channel is 1 button like an a/b box?.(I think) Is there such a device like an 'inline' type channel

Switcher that I could use in the same manner as the distortion pedal set up?

Ok Space, i checked the 2nd link out again.

 

If i understand it right i just need...

-the relay switch

-1/4 mono cable to go from amp channel switch jack to relay

- a midi cable to go from relay to hd 500x

 

then just figure out how to assign it or program it to do the job.

 

I think you nailed it. :) thanks a pile!

 

gonna try to rig it up before next fridays gig if I can schwing it.

 

I found the video, but it wasent the 4cm it was just using the effects loop as is

 

But i think i just liked his distortion sound when using the MXR over the clean
