So I'm just wondering if this is at all possible or if there's a device that does this..
My Randall rg100 combo has a 4 button footswitch connected via a 6 pin din cable to the amp. I want to start using this amp at gigs and intergrate my atomic amplifire as a midi switcher that can change effects and channels on the amp at the same time.
So basically, Atomic to send midi PC to a device that then sends signal via din cable to change amp channel.
I'm guessing it can be done but I would have to build it
Voodoo labs control switcher.
You need to figure out what each pin does on the 6 din connection. Decide which one you can do without, or which two you want to combine, as you're going from six to five pins. Unless you get two switchers (expensive).
You'll need to solder a 6 din socket to a 5 din (midi) socket. Or buy a ready made 6 to 5 din adaptor and hope it switches what you want

Your atomic pedal can probably send Midi commands if it has a midi out. You'll have to read the manual. It's fiddly but satisfying when done.
Also I think it depends if your amp is actually receiving midi or if it's just a signal sent through a midi cable.
Yeah bud that's the plan. I think the Voodoo Switcher might just do it.
Love the AA

Thanks Matt. I sent them a message asking if it can be done. Great advice!

My pleasure. Alternatively, if you just want to control one or two footswitch functions, there are some simpler midi to TS or midi TRS adapters out there. You'd need to wire up a TS or TRS plug to whichever pins you want on a 6 din plug.
I've done a 5 pin din to 2xTRS before. It was quite fiddly. The less pins you use, the easier it should be to solder.

Hmm interesting.. might be the go if I don't go the voodoo labs route
