Re[2]: MIDI amp channel switching

[Mike.Biffle@wj.com (Mike Biffle)]

     I forgot this... They will upgrade the GCX switcher to stereo loops. 
I 
     think they'll only do this on up to four of them, but that's pretty 
     substantial and opens the unit up to many more possibilities.
     
     Good stuff.

     The Digital Music Corp's. GCX Expander relay loop switcher will 
     provide momentary and latching control of non midi items as well as 
     having 8 mono relay loops for things fuzzboxes, preamps, dsp's etc.
     
     Mine's been working like a champ for years.
     
     best,

There are several devices which would do this.  The Rockman Octapus is a 
half-rack unit which will control up to 8 switching functions (channels, 
reverb, effects loop, whatever).  They've been discontinued, but often 
show up on Harmony Central and the like for between $75 and $100.  I 
believe Rocktron and Peavey made similiar units.
