MIDI with voodoo labs control switcher

Guys I’m trying to use a voodoo lab control switcher to interface with my RAR amp and the fractal 111 turbo. I can’t seem to get the fractal and the voodoo page into to communicate. The voodoo lab button works with the amp. I just can’t get a midi block in the fractal to talk to the VL Thoughts?

Rotary Speaker question

Hello All, I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to accomplish the following. 1. Have a FC12 switch dedicated to on/off for the rotary effect. 2. Have a SECOND switch that could control the ramp rate up and down like a real Leslie would have. Thanks!!

Paragon Wah, and thank you Cliff

I contacted Cliff on Thanksgiving and raved about my settings on the Fractal 3. I told him the only thing I was missing from my old rig was my Tycho wah. Cliff just nailed this. Funny little home video, but you get the idea.

Hello All, Lance Keltner here, formerly of Austin, now in Santa Fe. Years ago I tried a Fractal device and I did not bond with it. I have been a high-end tube amp nut for years, and grew up on Plexi Marshalls, old Vox and Fender amps. Heck, I even owned a Dumble at one point, so I like to...
