Fractal Fanatic
Looks like getting my carol Ann OD3r to talk midi with the new FX8 is not going to be a big deal.
All I need is an MI01 interface box From Carol-Ann.
The new OD3r’s do not use contact switching, the foot controller ‘talks’ to the amp via a serial protocol. Think of it like an RS232 data stream. Each byte of information contains an instruction. It uses a 3 pin XLR connector, Pin 1 is ground, Pin 2 is serial data and Pin 3 is 12VDC. The MI01 converts midi program change instructions to the serial protocol the amp understands.
All I can say is that the combination of a Carol-Ann amp with the Fractal Audio FX8 will become (IMO) the ultimate tube lover's gig rig.
seriously man ... I am beyond jazzed at the possibility of combining my favorite tube amp company with my favorite digital Preamp/Multi-Fx Processor company to create a best in class portable gig rig..
Simply outstanding!
