Re: More MIDI Questions - Please help, I'm acoustic
Pirate midi has a small cheap relay switcher. I bought one last year. They are in Australia though so expect to wait a couple weeks if you go that route

Looks like they updated the hardware it was $65. At $99 I'm sure you can find something you can get quicker

All this - that switcher is cool and will totally work. I think morningstar also has a loop switcher you can use via midi j(ust out from the last midi device into it) if you ever want to add it into the mix.Guitarbilly wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 11:59 pm Yes, it's possible. Use the Relay Port on the MC6 to switch channels on the SLO. You will need a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter but that's no big deal.
As for the MIDI, go Out of the MC6 into the H90 MIDI In, then from the H90 MIDI Out/Through to the Mobius MIDI In.
That said, I would recommend you get a controller with a few loops so when you are not using the front pedals you can take them out of the circuit. The H90 in the loop can just stay on since I assume there will always be some kind of delay or verb in the tone.
But the pedals out front can definitely benefit from a loop switcher, specially if later down the line you want incorporate something like a boost or Phase 90 or maybe a compressor on cleans etc... it just adds a lot of flexibility on what you can use and control. RJM, Musicomlabs have some good ones at a decent price. Fender has one now that was designed by RJM...
I love midi rigs

Re: More MIDI Questions - Please help, I'm acoustic
It depends on what you want to do, but yes, the RJM would be able to patch in pedals in loops as needed or not (ie, when you don't want the OCD affecting your signal). They also clean up the signal path as well to so degree, so all of the cable length, buffers, etc are not affecting the signal when off.Vladimir Putin wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 4:41 pmSo something like this would be able to switch pedals in/out as well as send MIDI commands and relay switch my SLO?Guitarbilly wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 11:59 pm Yes, it's possible.

I'll admit I like the scribble strips on the MC6 Pro and using the 1/8" to 1/4" isn't a deal breaker for me.
I really just want the MIDI controller to change the Mobius, H90 and change channels on the amp. I don't mind turning my OCD/Compressor/Fuzz on individually when I want to use them. The ability to loop in those pedals isn't a big deal for me even though it would be pretty cool.

Re: More MIDI Questions - Please help, I'm acoustic
Yeah that would be ideal. But if you don't care about switching the other pedals, the Morningstar is great.Vladimir Putin wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 4:41 pmSo something like this would be able to switch pedals in/out as well as send MIDI commands and relay switch my SLO?Guitarbilly wrote: ↑Mon Feb 03, 2025 11:59 pm Yes, it's possible.

It's just that when I use MIDI, I like to go all in and automate everything.

I guess I need to do more research to take care of any future needs/wants that come up instead of just focusing on my immediate needs.

I love midi rigsI either like single channel dirty amps with very little anything or fully tricked out midi rigs. I think I just like everything lol
Damn H90 dragged me in to modern times

Re: More MIDI Questions - Please help, I'm acoustic
Absolutely important to do lots of research and comparisons between the various options out there before you buy the first or second thing you find. That said, you may find in the future that while whatever you get was perfect for what you needed at the time and some time after, you end up outgrowing it.Vladimir Putin wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2025 10:59 pm Dammit, you're not wrong here![]()

That aside, I think Morningstar also offers a loop switching add on that may be of interest.
