I'm asking this because I'd like to automate the channel switching with a midi controlled switcher...
Is this possible?
Anyone ever converted the 5 din plug to 1/4" jacks?

If you've got a midi controlled switcher it's just a matter of connecting the correct points in each circuit. If you've already built the amp, you could use star quad cable or something similar, wire it with a breakout to two 1/4" on one end and your 5 pin din plug on the other.massygt6 wrote:I'm asking this because I'd like to automate the channel switching with a midi controlled switcher...

As a matter of fact, yes, I've done exactly that. I used a second DIN plug connected to two 1/4" phone plugs (I made my own adapter cable); then connected the plugs to a FootSim:massygt6 wrote:I'm asking this because I'd like to automate the channel switching with a midi controlled switcher...

It works great! You could also use a Scholz Midi-Octopus or other MIDI switcher.

Hi Massy,
I've done it. A midi controller switching a Rocktron Replifex. The Replifex has relay switching for amp channels. I soldered a stereo jack to a 5 pin din. Works flawless!
