To start off...I'm sort of embarrassed to say that I have owned this beautiful Mastermind GT16 / Effect Gizmo system for about 10 months...but up until now I have only used it for remote IA to my wall mounted effect pedals. The past weekend I had some time to try some more detailed configuration setups.
First, it took me a while to figure out how to do the midi implementation for my (new to me) Fender Machete amp...which has a midi port for controlling Channel #1, Channel #1 Boost, Channel #2, FX Loop (which can be used as another boost when not running effects through it), and Reverb. Basically it allows me to turn on and off all of those functions through the use of midi. Not being a midi expert...it took me a while to figure out how to do all of that...reading the manual...trying to set it up...and repeat numerous times. I was happy when I actually got all five functions working...with the exception of one tiny glitch on the Ch1 Boost setting where if I press the IA button coming from the regular Channel 1 is works fine....however if I press the Ch1 Boost IA button from the Channel 2 (Drive) setting...I have to press the Boost IA button twice. The first press takes it back to Channel 1...and the second press turns on the Boost.
I would love to correct this...but that last paragraph was more to give you background to my real issue...which is after setting up presets that will trigger one of those amp IA buttons...only the Reverb one actually triggers. Anytime I press any of the presets...even one that uses the amp drive channel...the amp always reverts back to the clean channel (Ch #1). For Channel #2...I do see a momentary flash of the light on the oem foot selector light...but immediately the light goes back off.
I mapped the presets with the IA's just like all the other presets that successfully use the EG loops with effect pedals...but it just doesn't work. I tried to set up a direct Program Change string in the preset...that still does not work.
What am I missing here?
