use the pedal to choose between 4 channels

[candeCARTAGO]

I would like to know if it's possible to set up the LFS2 pedal to be able to program 4 channels?

No. You need a cheap 4 button MIDI pedal such as Hotone Ampero Control (what I use) or MVAVE Chocolate.

I see that you posted and deleted two questions, so if you're still wondering, the devices I mentioned will allow you to select any of the 12 presets, plus control any of the FX. I'm not familiar with the specific 2-button switch you referred to, but normally they only control preset up/down.

The doubt I have is about connectivity... that is, the LFS2 pedal that comes with the amp I plug into the amp’s FOOTSWITCH input... and I can switch between 2 channels... with the devices you mention... how do I connect them to the amp? Will it recognize them? The amp has a CATALYST EDIT app where you can change a lot of things, but I’m not sure if I can configure either of the 2 devices you mention from there.

As is often said, the devil is in the details, and you didn't specify the model of your Catalyst.

Since the connections are not obvious, I'll assume that you have a Catalyst 60, which does not have a MIDI DIN Port.

To use MIDI you'll either need a HOST (a computer, iPhone or iPad), a MIDI controller that doubles as a HOST. or a HOST "box".

I've never used this, so read everything you can find about it. AFAICT, you should be able to simply connect a USB-B to USB-C cable from your Cat60 to the Chocolate+ and use the wireless app to program it. If you choose to go this way, buy it from a store with a no-questions-asked return policy. It's non-host version gets good reviews on The Gear Page.

 

If you have an iPhone/iPad (idk about androids) you can connect directly and the iThingy will serve as a host. I recommend getting a powered hub instead of direct connect, else usable time will be limited by the battery in your iThingy. I use this with my iPad:

You can also connect a standard (non host) MIDI controller using one of these:

There are other products at various prices in all of the above categories. I suggest that you do your due diligence before deciding which way to go.

Sorry, my amp is a CX 100

Then it has MIDI DIN ports and all you need is a controller with DIN ports and a MIDI DIN cable of an appropriate length.

If you choose to go wireless then you'll need a wireless to MIDI DIN adapter.

I don't recommend wireless. I find it to be undependable on a good day. YMMV.

 

Catalyst Edit continues to work with a USB cable to whatever computer/iThingy that you're currently using.
