While I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box.. I do know that my new Boss ES-8 Looper does NOT want to be looking at +25.9vdc, +23.6vdc, and +20.4vdc injected directly into it's CTL OUT jacks.
It just so happens , Those are the exact +vdc readings at the Footswitch Jacks on my Marshall DSL401
I'm searching for a proven solution to add Midi control to this beloved EL84 based combo amp..
So far, my research has brought me to the RJM Switch Gizmo..
The +dcv thing is used on many amps including the infamous "any guitar cord" Fender Footswitch designs
I get how the Voltage is Reduced/Inverted by simple resistors and diodes to show the IC in the amp a key to do it's switching
The problem is that pesky +VDC !!
Horror Stories abound about pedal switchers that are designed to be Mom/Latch/Pulse being sent to the Chair by this method of switching on Various amps..
Experience with this .... Anyone ??<<<<<< The previous was posted verbatim on the gear page today by myself..
Oh gurus of switching .. Can the Switch Gizmo handle this abuse ???
