channel switching question - Mesa MK V 35 watts

[fremen]

Does anyone here owns both a FX8 and a Mesa Boogie Mk V:35 ? If so, how does the channel switching works with the relay on the FX8, as the Mesa footswitch is not a mono one ? I'm considering getting a FX8 but only if here's way to channel switch the Mesa, or any other amp using multi functions footswitches... Thanks !

This was mentioned in another thread, this cable may do what you need.

Hi, I can confirm that this cable works as advertised. You can control all of the functions of the Mesa Mark 35 through the fx8 with that cable. This is my current rig and could not be happier.

I had bestronics make a snake for me, Mark IV.
But, what you need is a TRS cable and a TRS to TS-TS splitter.

Actually the Mesa Mark V 35 only has the 5 pin connector in the back, therefore the need for the RJM cable.

There is the smallest midi solution for V:35 and other Mesa Boogie at all
I cann't paste any link now but google "EM CUSTOM midi interfaces mesa boogie eng"
No custom cable needed.
