Voodoo Lab PX-8 PLUS True Bypass Programmable Pedal Switcher

If you are a guitar player that uses a channel switching amp with a MIDI capable rack mount type affects processor, then this control switcher is the way to go to make the amp channel switching and effect processor patch changes at the same time. This control switcher connects to a midi foot controller then to your amp's footswitch jack(s) via standard 1/4 inch cables and will allow pretty much any amp with footswitch jack inputs to be controlled by a MIDI foot controller. It is fairly easy to program if you read and follow the directions carefully. With my rig (Behringer FCB1010, Bugera TriRec amp head, and Digitech GSP1101 effects processor), I'm able to change amp channels and patches on the GSP1101 at the simultaneously by only tapping on one switch on the FCB1010. It can control up to 4 footswitch capable changes on your amp. With the Bugera TriRec head, I use this control switcher to switch between the three channels on the amp and the amp's boost function. As far as I know this is the only way to switch an analog amp via MIDI and it works well if set up properly.

This effects channel switcher is capable of more than they advertise. which is my main criticism, i.e. they need a better manual. You'll need to peruse the forums to understand it's full capabilities. Others complain that it doesn't have a stereo outlet, but I’ve found that this is usually unnecessary for stereo effects pedals, since you can cable the pedal’s dual outlets to other effects loops at the end of the chain. There is a limited number of switching channels for effects loops (two, at least, it seems so, at this stage of my experimentation).

Works really well with my Mesa Road king. I use this with a Boss ES-8 to switch the primary channels. It only has 4 channes so I dont get it for loops or solo but I dont want that either. You could do a second if that is what you want but at that point I would say get the rjm amp gizmo. Great and small. Had to ask for help from support to program but that was because I wasnt to clear on the midi part. Unit is small, compact and easy to use. I highly recommend for any 4 channel amp. You could also use it to go between multiple amps, say two marshall 900s.

This is the best device I've purchased in a long time. It enabled my old 2000 Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier to be controlled remotely with just about any MIDI controller available. I am now able to switch channels with a single MIDI cable from my TC Electronic Nova system, my Kemper Stage or my BOSS ES-5 pedal switcher. It works like a charm, its compact and sturdy. highly recommended.

This is a good item but if you're trying to make some guitar system with G-force (tc.ele), you're gonna have pop noise problems.(It also happens with my SFC too.)Actually when I went to voodoo lab's homepage, quite a few people complained about it too so I called them and finally solved the problem.In order to solve the pop noise problems, get " Eb tech hum eliminator " and put this before each device that causes troubles in the loop(and also check your power supply)

Really nice switch. Built like a tank. Doesn’t take a lot to figure it out either. The instructions are easy to follow. Would be nice to see a future build with more loops. This one only has 8 loops and as a worship guitar musician, that filled up quick.

Once I researched YouTube on how to program the switcher and went to Voodoo Lab Forum, I was well pleased with its functionality and performance. With that being written, I am giving this product a 4 star rating. Here is why the rating. The manual does not come with instructions with any type of detail programing. Otherwise I would give it a 5 star rating. If one is going to purchase this product, one should do their homework first.

I got this to control the channels on my Mesa-Boogie Dual Rectifier amp from my MIDI controller. It took a while to figure out the programming and I actually had to go to the VooDoo Labs online forum to get some help. But once I got it down, it hasn't let me down. Great option for anyone who uses MIDI gear but doesn't have a MIDI controllable amp.
