how can i set up my amps with the MasterMind Midi switcher

[truckguy3]

Ron, how did you get the noise down using the 4CM method like this? i hear doing this can add lots of noise . I plan to do this with my head and I also have an RG16, and am worried about excess noise with 4CM....

[rjmmusic]

@truckguy3 There was no particular noise issue in this case. It depends largely on the amp you're using. If you do encounter a ground loop, swapping in a ground-lifted cable or two between the amp's effects loop and the RG-16 should take care of it. (Email us if you want more details on that).

is it possible to hook up my triaxis 4CM with Axe fx ultra and complete the rig with a mastermind?

[rjmmusic]

@olivercheung18 Yes, that would be no problem at all.

[KyuubiXX243H98]

@rjmmusic what about a behringer fcb1010 to be used as a midi foot control for the axefx?

[davem04ify]

with the mastermind and the rg16 can u control amp channels + effects pedals + noise gate ect

[rjmmusic]

@davem04ify Yes, amps and effects at the same time.

Hey how do you connect your amp to the rack gear and then how is midi controllers connected?

PLEASE HELP!!!!

@FullmetalFan500

Search for "4-Cable Method" on youtube. everything else self-explaining.

To Change the Channels on the Mark 5 you need a midi-relay-switch system like the RG-16. (I dont know if the Mark 5 has midi).

If YOUR amp has Midi and an Midi Thru, you can simply connect your Midi Controller to the AMP and then the midi thru output to your FX Processor.

BUT:

Change the Midi Channels! Amp could be on channel 1 and your FX could be Channel 2.

hey Ron - this is an awesome video - we did have some contact a while back, not sure if you remember me ? I will be in touch soon, going through a big move over to the states at the moment, so everything has been on hold! thanks and talk soon. Nick

Another great video Ron! Could have done with this when I started programming my rig! Using the bank buttons to switch between patches in setup mode is a useful shortcut - I'll remember that :)

[rjmmusic]

Yeah, I wish I had done this one earlier! This answers one of our most common questions.
