MIDI breakout box for 1/4” controls

[Bob Stevens]

Just wondering what options are out there to incorporate midi into the various switch/expression jacks on various pedals like the red remote input on JHS. Something similar to the mini amp gizmo but for pedals and can function to either control that switch input or utilize an expression input like on a Walrus Bellwether, or Keeley Dark Side. Not sure there’s anything out there other than the Mission Engineering Expressionator but that’s pretty expensive and I’m not sure that would actually work with those pedals. There’s a couple other things like the Morningstar Midi Box and the Lehle Midi Junction, but they seem to be converting a midi signal to TRS, but many pedals don’t get midi over TRS. Anybody ever figure out how to do this?

The Voodoo Lab Control Switcher is something that can switch things like the red remote jack on JHS pedals, and the Favorite jack on Strymon pedals. I don't know of anything that converts MIDI to an expression pedal output.

Would something like this help?

Doesn’t convert midi to expression output, but might work for switching?

That probably would do it for channel switching, depending on how many relays you need.
