    Cheers David!

    Nope, it's for the display features and so you can get feedback - eg, some devices when you send a prog change will send a report of CCs, this allows the board to reflect those changes. Unnecessary in your case.

    Ok! Great!

    PB supports up to 8 relays - as yet I haven't documented this stuff very well.

    I have an unreleased update to PB that has better handling of relays, but it's currently only editable in the source code - Finding the storage space in the mess of bankstick data I made is proving difficult.

    I also have a relay PCB that has

    1 input switcher

    4 fx loops

    and 3 basic switches.

    I built it about this time last year (just before my work became impossibly busy... and hasn't let up all year, which is why I havn't been around)

    I'll dig up the design if your interested. The one I had made had a critical error, linking 9v straight to ground... oops!... luckily - a quick bit of work with a knife and a new regulator - all works great!

    Yes im aware of the relay-switching in the PbD but the thing is that im planning to use the "midi-switch" in my 19" rack and have all my pedals there along with the G-Major.

    But i don´t se that it would be any problem to hook it up that way then!

    No, can't use buttons. However you can use the pc editor - way faster than trying to program directly on the board anyway.

    I'm also working a new pc editor (in VB.... i know, i know. But it's sooo easy!). But getting it to talk MIDI is proving very painful. While the app is a massive improvement - currently you need to use midiox to send the sysex files.

    Ok, i´ll just use a pot then?

    It used to be, but now there is too much code to fit on the 18F452. So yes you need the 18F4620

    Just for interest sake. My own Pedal Board is waiting on some cash (and time to do the CAD work) to have steel enclosure made. Aside from that - just a few footswitches to solder. oooo, and fitting the pedals, that parts going to suck.

    Im lucky enough to work in an workshop so i´ve got the sheet-metal and the tools to build my own enclosure for the PbD.

    But im also thinking of this one, 1456RL1BKBU.

    It has about the same measurements as the Voodoo Lab Ground Control!

    Great project Durisian!

    I have a few questions if you don´t mind? :rolleyes:

    In your manual for the PbD you write:

    Hooking it all up

    * MIDI merger should be OFF

    * MIDI out of Pedal Board to MIDI in of your device

    * MIDI out of your device to MIDI in of Pedal Board

    Im planning to control this unit with the PbD, but it has no MIDI OUT-jack that are supposed to go to the MIDI IN of the PbD.

    My question is, do i really need to use the MIDI IN jack on the PbD and what is it used for???

    Next question:

    Do i have to use an expression-pedal to scroll in the setup-menus in PbD-mode?

    Are there any buttons assigned for that?

    I know bank up and down is used for selecting and save and exit but is it possible to use two extra buttons instead of a pedal?

    Last question:

    You write that the PIC18F4620 should be used in the MIDIBox Core.

    Is it possible to use an PIC18F452??
