Voodoo Lab Pedal Switcher - Manual (Page 11)

PROGRAMMING PRESETS
Regardless of whether you have only one or an entire herd of Pedal Switchers, creating presets
with Commander is quick and easy. Here’s how:
1. Make active all the Pedal Switcher loops you want.
2. Select bank 1-5 or 6-10 on Commander.
3. Hold down BANK/STORE until it starts blinking (about 3 seconds), then hit the desired preset
button at the same time.
All LEDs will flash briefly to confirm that your preset has been saved. That’s it!
USING PEDAL SWITCHER
WITH A GROUND CONTROL PRO
Overview
You can add programmability for up to 8 Pedal Switchers, or a combination of Pedal Switchers
and rackmount GCX Guitar Audio Switchers, by using a Voodoo Lab Ground Control Pro MIDI

board friendly thanks to its small size, if you require a full featured MIDI foot controller, Ground
Control Pro is the way to go.
Ground Control Pro provides 200 named presets and a large alphanumeric display. In addition to
Pedal Switchers, it will control 8 MIDI devices on independent channels, including real time
control via 2 expression pedal inputs.
If you already have a Ground Control Pro based switching system, adding Pedal Switcher lets
you put pedal effects on the floor instead of your rack for convenient access to controls. Plus,
since Pedal Switcher includes dedicated buttons for each loop, you can save Ground Control
Pro’s programmable instant access buttons for other functions.
Connection
Pedal Switcher will phantom power the Ground Control Pro through a standard 5-pin MIDI
cable. Connect a MIDI cable from the Ground Control Pro’s MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN of Pedal
Switcher. If you have additional Pedal Switchers or MIDI devices, connect the MIDI OUT of the
