An Essential Link to Make an Amp "MIDI-ready"
The Control Switcher was designed for a very practical need: to enjoy the convenience of MIDI without changing your amp. Many amps, even high-end ones, offer proprietary footswitches (channels, reverb, boost, loops), but remain MIDI incompatible. Here, the idea is simple and highly effective: convert MIDI commands (Program Change or Control Change) into contact closures/openings, exactly as a footswitch would.
In a rack or on a modern pedalboard, it naturally serves as the interface between your MIDI controller (for example, a Voodoo Lab Ground Control Pro) and the amp's switching functions, allowing you to recall complete scenes with a single press.
Who Is It For, and In What Usage Contexts?
The Voodoo Lab Control Switcher is aimed at guitarists who want to gain precision and speed on stage, in rehearsal, or in the studio: switching from a clean with reverb to a boosted lead, activating an effects loop for delay, or chaining multiple state changes without "pedalboard dancing."
It's an excellent choice for rock, metal, prog, pop, worship, funk rigs, or any music that requires clean transitions. It suits both intermediate users (discovering MIDI scenes/presets) and professional technicians and musicians building larger systems with switchers, multi-effects, racks, and multiple amps.

Questions frequently asked
Is the Voodoo Lab Control Switcher compatible with a non-MIDI amp?
The 4 isolated relays convert MIDI commands into open and close contacts to control the functions of an amp footswitch. Each function is connected via a 6.35 mm mono jack output.
Can channel switching, reverb activation, and boost be controlled via MIDI?
The control outputs can be assigned to functions such as channel switching, reverb, boost, equalization, or an effects loop. Commands are received at the MIDI In input as Program Change or Control Change messages.
What connections are available?
Four 6.35 mm mono jack outputs are provided for switching functions. A 5-pin DIN MULTI connector allows connection to amps equipped with a multi-pin input. The MIDI Out sends commands to other MIDI devices.
Can the switches be used without a MIDI controller?
On the front panel, 4 buttons with LEDs allow direct activation or deactivation of each switch and display its status.
What power supply is required for this MIDI switcher?
The required power supply is 9 to 12 V DC or 9 V AC, with a consumption of 100 mA. The connector measures 5.5 x 2.1 mm and uses center-negative polarity.
