andrearruda20 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Hey folks! I'm wondering here if is it possible to switch channels, reverb (on/off) and solo switch (on/off) on my Mesa Boogie Single Rectifier Recto-O-Verb via Pod Hd 500X via midi cables. My amp has a cable (I don't know if it's midi or not) directly connected to the footswitch pedal. My main idea is stop using the footswitch pedal and use only the pod to do the amp channel and features switching. Does anyone know how to set it up properly? What parameters should I send via POD to the amp? Best Regards, André Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 After a quick look at your amp's (minimal) manual, it looks like a standard electrical switch. The POD, unfortunately, doesn't do this. I could be wrong, though, so try Mesa support for a definitive answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclement Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 It can be done... but you will need some help from an external switching box like the Voodoo Labs Control Switcher - http://www.voodoolab.com/controlswitcher.htm. It would take the MIDI OUT from your POD and translate the program change (PC) or control change (CC) messages to the switches to control your amp. Not hard to do... but an extra step. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 For $140, if your goal is to keep your rig simple, it's an expensive 1 for 1 swap. If the goal is to clear floor space, then go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
