For the money, you can’t beat it!!! The fact that you can use this on various devices makes buying this a no brainer!!! Great video Shane and welcome to the 40’s!!!!😂😂😂Cheers Mate and Happy Birthday!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎊🎉🎂🎂
G'day. Any idea if you could control the Katana 100 with this? I recently saw a vid where someone had made a MIDI controller (using an off the shelf micro processor chip) that went in through the USB port, so I assume it can be done. If you still have the controller, any chance of trying it out? Cheers.
He literally just demo’d it with the Kemper.What do you mean in a live situation? the fact of him playing on a stage really wouldn’t change how it works.
Hello. My client has reduced mobility and needs a pedal to trigger a Boss RC-300 Loopstation from a certain distance. His main goal is to be able to trigger Record/Stop from a few meters away from the RC-300 Loopstation. I'm trying to find a solution for him. Do you think this could work? Thanks for any info.
Are the footswitch lights supposed to work when you press the footswitches? Not sure why they exist? They only flash when you turn the unit on, but not when you step on the footswitch. Sure would be nice to know what switch is in use
I am very interested in this unit except for one thing, i can't see that you can run Phantom Power. There is no 7 pin MIDI cable facility, no wall wart. I obviously don't use a laptop on stage for usb power. That just leaves batteries which is not practical for a live setting. Am i missing something here? For such a great looking unit, that's a real deal breaker in a live application. My apologies in advance if i missed something really obvious. Maybe there will be a version 2 with 7 pin Phantom Power? Cheers
How do I assign the MeloAudio Midi Commander buttons to each DSL40 channels? I just bought the amp, it's arriving in a couple of days and this is way better than the footswitch that it comes with the amp, I'd like to use the 4 channels on it
Daniel Premraj not necessary. Midi is not audio. It's just messages so send from commander midi out to strymons midi in and loop into one stymons out to in
Hi, great video. May I ask if this can work with a TC Electronic G-Major 2? I’m currently using a Beringer FCB1010 and I’m wondering if the MIDI commander is able to control my bank and presets of my G-Major 2.
I have the dsl 40 & I’m trying to decide between the Marshall 6 post pedal & something like this. What are the advantages to midi? Being able to access effects on my computer? I’m new at this!
Hi, really interesting. I got the DSL40Cr and I would use a midi controller but I have no idea on how to programm it. I found a table in last page of the manual of the amp but I dont understand nothing. Can you suggest how I can do it please, or where I can find a tutorial specific for ghe DSL?
Serious question, do you really need to spend any money on anything more than a Boss katana 2x12 these days? Seriously the tones I can get out of mine are equal to or better than the Kemper for like a sixth of the price. The Katana librarian app really does bring it fully to life too. I am absolutely loving my Katana lately.
Hi Stuee, it's amazing how people feel and hear differently, respect your comment totally, but my experience is the opposite!! The Katana is good, but to me the Kemper is amazing. The feel is so close to the real thing and it performs so well. I've had all the old amps and spent hours in the studio micing and setting things up, by the time you get to record the sparkle sometimes goes! Again after the hours of setting an old amp and cab up then the tweaking on the desk and all the post eq, reverb, compression etc etc. you end up with a processed sound anyway!!! Now I use the Kemper, tweak to my liking and bob's your uncle. Glad your enjoying your Katana, hope it helps you make great music, rock on friend
if you listen to the kemper thru a low qual system, you're right. But once you get it thru good speakers and under your fingers, you get the difference. I've played almost everything in the digital world, digitech gsp1101, L6 POD HD500X, Amplifire, Tech21, Kemper is just head and shoulders above all of them.
Can you connect that to the G-Force TC electronic. I have a Marshall DSL1 and to wonder how I can use this unit to connect it to my G-Force . any ideals? Thanks
Can I program the Kemper to toggle on/off the 8 fx slots on whichever Profile is currently loaded (globally) with this? Set & forget? Not needed for Performances since I'm only in the studio. Thanks!
Looking for cheaper mini exp. pedals that play nice with this. And can the polarity be changed in settings? My EX-1 works with my HX Stomp but not this. I wanna run 2 smaller ones on my board that aren’t plagued with the 0-100-0 bug.
I just bought the Bias fx 2, so this seems to be a great option. Do you know if I can use the midi cable to plug this into a motu m2 interface? I ran out of USB ports in my computer
Would this do what the Bluguitar amp1 remote does as apparently the remote one is discontinued (pig sick as just bought mercury and tried to buy remote one 😭) never used midi before so looking for comparable controller for my mercury
I have a Peavey Tubefex and want a midi controller, apprehensive about getting one not Knowing what is compatible. It's midi... All midi controllers work? Is it that easy?
When using it with your Marshall can it also control 1) switching the reverb on and off, 2) the effects loop on and off, and 3) switch between master volume 1 & 2? And does the expression pedal do anything with your amp (reverb level for example)? Thanks. Great video as usual by the way!
It should work to toggle the loop on and off and to select between the two masters because I do all of that and channel selects with my Helix thru midi, Reverb does not work tho there are no midi program values for Reverb in the Marshall manual.
@@ronnieparfaitI'm guessing the programming on helix is similar to the one on pod 500x, only with much better interface. I downloaded the manual for dsl 40cr, but it doesn't say which specific CC goes for which channel, so my question is how did you program these 4 channels?
I don't own it but to my understanding you can use the top 4 switches to switch pedals.. The bottom 4 switch scenes and the right 2 switch up to 9 banks.. Lots of versatility

Nice alternative to the Kemper footswitch.
Yes but What about Tap Tempo switch for the delay?
I just got this the other day. Built really well.
Does this have effects built in?
@@billieschultz1352 no, it just sends midi signals so the effects have to be done elsewhere
@@kittgs thanks
Do u think its compatible to korg kp3. Would be nice if so.. i want to controll(triger) the four banks for looping and chaging effects.

"any smaller and I would have complained about it"
thats what she said.
Midi is my weak area so vids like this are very useful
Bring a camera to the show to document your review about the pedal. Looking forward to the positive grid review. How about trying it with Mainstage?
The MIDI controller is sold also as Harley Benton MP-100 MIDI, maybe worth a try with the Axe Fx III
Does it have the same funcionality?
@@Silkaz7 Don't know for sure but I bet it does, same OEM manufacturer for sure
what about Tap Tempo switch for the delay??

It'll be interesting to see how it interacts with your Kemper in a live situation. That will be the real test of it's value.

@@Boogieplex lol yeah. that was a head scratcher that one.
@@Boogieplex He think the sound might change lmao I can't.
There should be a version with the expression pedal included
i can not find out how to use it with main stage. can you help me?

Can this be used with the boss katana head?
Great video, can I control pedals and lights simultaneously, i.e 1 midi channel per scene/song, changes lights and pedal sounds in unison ?
exceptional job on this video
if this box can send not only midi-controller messages but also , "midi-note" events, I 'll buy it
Great video! Does the MeloAudio work directly with the Spark Practice Amp by positive grid?
Are the footswitch lights supposed to work when you press the footswitches? Not sure why they exist? They only flash when you turn the unit on, but not when you step on the footswitch. Sure would be nice to know what switch is in use
It would be interesting to see how see how it works with a Hotone Ampero.

I was just thinking, this could be the switcher for me, but power seems to be an issue so I guess I'll keep looking!
yes but it can control 2 devices at once? e.g change a patch on one device and at the same time change a board on another device?
I'm missing something?.. what exactly does it do?.. do you download into it then, just take that to a gig?
Has anyone had any success setting the MIDI Commander to control a multi-effects pedal like the NUX MG-300?
Have you found any info on this? I came here to ask the same question. Can you use this to control the Katana mkii or the Ampero 1?
Hey Shane, would you know if it's compatible with Strymon products?
How do I assign the MeloAudio Midi Commander buttons to each DSL40 channels? I just bought the amp, it's arriving in a couple of days and this is way better than the footswitch that it comes with the amp, I'd like to use the 4 channels on it

Hello Shane! Have you tried this unit with the Boss Katana?
The gafc pedal sucks. Would love try a midi controller that can easily trigger on and off the wah function

Hi, great video. Who's Kemper profiles are you using, sounds good?
Thanks mate they were mine from my own amp collection at the time.
It work allo with nux mg 30
Is the expression pedal always on or only when you move or you have to push down to click the switch?
can you use it with the boss katana mk2 100? with the katana Librarian ?
What about on Boss katana amps?
Following I'd like to know too!
@@mikegill738 following
No
Would the midi controller and expression pedal work for a Strymon pedal setup (timeline, mobius, bigsky)
Daniel Premraj yes. Midi is midi
@@Lorneplumber should the send and return of the midi be looped for the strymons
Daniel Premraj not necessary. Midi is not audio. It's just messages so send from commander midi out to strymons midi in and loop into one stymons out to in
@@Lorneplumber thanks! I've never used a midi setup ever, so I'm not sure what to expect
mine keeps crashing my kemper, so cant rely on it anymore, had to go buy the kemper remote
Hey there what product you used for usb power supply in video....looks preety handy....
Is it compatible with katana 100 mk2?
No

can we use this to command cubase ?
When u put the controller straight into your amp, can u use some effects like chorus, delay or can u only switch channels ?
