Hi all, this is my first time posting and I was advised to post here by Arduino support, so please forgive me if I'm asking something dumb.
A friend and I are in the process of building a guitar amp, and I am currently trying to get my head around a means of swapping between 2 amp channels (low-gain and high-gain/distortion) using a footswitch.
I think that what I need is some component which will be incorporated into the amp. I'm hoping to use a Line 6 HX Effects as the footswitch/controller, which has the ability to change amp channels on compatible amps with via MIDI jack or a 1/4" jack which can be used for controlling amp channel changes - from the manual, "... the jack can be connected to your traditional guitar amp to switch its channels or turn its reverb on and off. Use a TRS cable for dual operation (A=tip, B=ring)."
We've dealt with standard electronics before but this is the first time delving into the world of MIDI/microcontrollers etc, so I might find that I'm out of my depth, but I thought I may as well ask the question.
Any suggestions or tips would be greatly appreciated.
