Members DarkCide Posted September 15, 2005 Members Share Posted September 15, 2005 I currently have an Intelliverb which I plan running through the Powerball's FX loop which I'll be buying soon. I would like to be able to switch the Intelliverb presets and be able to control the Powerball. Here's what the ENGL site shows that can be controlled on the Powerball: "CHI/II channel switch, Gain Lo/Hi, Sound style selector Open/Focused (affects all channels), Master A/B, switchable on the device or via two ENGL Z-4s or an ENGL Z-5 Custom Footswitch" Which midi controller will allow me to control the Intelliverb and the Powerball?

Members leadfootdriver Posted September 15, 2005 Members Share Posted September 15, 2005 If the amp isn't MIDI, than you can switch it along with the presets you make on your effects UNLESS you get a MIDI switcher. Check out this dudes cool site. He uses a Nobels MS-8 midi switcher. http://www.tubefreak.com/fopen.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DarkCide Posted March 26, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 26, 2006 I need a floorboard that doesn't require a separate midi switcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members enditol Posted March 26, 2006 Members Share Posted March 26, 2006 I don't think there's a floorboard with control functions / relays like you need. Unless you can make your amp MIDI capable. Otherwise you'll need something like the Axess CFX-4 or Sound Sculpture Footsim etc. G-System from TC is another option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DarkCide Posted March 26, 2006 Author Members Share Posted March 26, 2006 I think the Nobels MF2 might be able to do all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tats_dragon Posted March 27, 2006 Members Share Posted March 27, 2006 Sounds like a Behringer FCB1010 might work for you. Jun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nobels might a better choice since it has four relays. Or you can look into effects units with two relays built in like the Rocktron Replifex or Multiverb, TC G-major, Roland GP-8 etc. Jun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DarkCide Posted April 7, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 7, 2006 The Nobels are very hard to find and the US dealer doesn't have any at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Neonknight Posted April 11, 2006 Members Share Posted April 11, 2006 Ive got the MF-2 and it doesnt do CC commands unless it comes from external footswitches/expression pedals connected to the four jacks on the back of MF-2. Just thought i might add that if youre interrested. I dont use the MF-2 myself anymore,i got the Behringer FCB1010 and i would say its a bit better especially with the unofficial pc editor http://www.mtnsys.com/faq-fcb/PCEditorBeta.htm which makes it easy to program,beware though that many think its a pain to program the usual way,but i guess the MF-1 isnt better really.

Members DarkCide Posted April 11, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 11, 2006 Since the MF-2 doesn't support CC commands, wouldn't it be possible to create identical presets with the only different being the effect which I'm trying to switch on/off?
