Line6 FBV style channel switcher

[edgemeister]

Hey guys... I'm new here and was wondering if you could help me...

I own a line6 flextone3 amp and a line6 hd147 and understand that they both use the same floorboard...

However the line6 floorboard i overkill in my opinion as I don't need all the features that are on this board.

I understand that there are 36 channels/presets that you can access on the amps when used with th boards as opposed to the 4 on the top of the amp when te floorboard is not in use...

Again, I don't have use for 36 channels...

I know that you can use the midi ports on the back of the amps to switch cannels the same way i can switch channels on the amp when sat at my pc and so i was wondering if anyone could help me constuct a midi channel switcher that will have 12 footswitches to select between the first 12 channels on the amp when i gig...

could someone please help me do this? This is my first time in the midi would however I have made many guitar effect pedals.

Thanks guys...

Hi ,

Ok...

So assuming I make this device....

How can I find out which midi notets correspond to calling up a desired preset?

Thanks...

It should be in the MIDI spec for the device. Hope this helps :)

yes ,look for the "MIDI implementation chart" ,and in the manual ,all the program change numbers are the most often listed.
