since i never really got any reaction to this tidbit, lemme tell you guys
what i think. this is one of the coolest pieces of equipment i have used
yet. with the help of a fellow clonewheeler (Mitch, or M T), i was able to
figure out which channels to control with my foot pedal. basically, the 100
available presets, when selected, simply change the presets in the B4
software. however, these presets can also switch other midi instruments in
the chain (if you are using multiple synths, etc.). additionally, there are
two dc relays that can switch amp channels for you with simply a guitar
cable or similar. those of you guys who use a lot of midi gear *really* owe
it to yourself to check this thing out. I was able to program one volume
pedal to control the expression pedal, and the other switches the leslie
speed, which really frees my hands up for playing. anyone else ever use this
thing?
