How To Expand The Fender Switchboard Looper Using The Mini Effect Gizmo X (MEGX)

Ron Menelli and Sheri Menelli of RJM Music Technology team up with Josh Chapman of Fender to discuss expanding your guitar loop switcher capabilities using the Mini Effect Gizmo X.

Josh, Sheri and Ron talk about the Switchboard, a loop switching product developed together by RJM and Fender, and introduce solutions for increasing the number of pedals a player can control beyond the standard five loops provided by the Switchboard. Josh shares his setup, controlling ten effects pedals through switcher loops and MIDI, emphasizing the benefits of MIDI integration for managing extensive pedal configurations.

The conversation also covers practical steps for adding both MIDI and non-MIDI pedals to a setup, utilizing PDF guides to visualize basic to complex setups for pedal management. Although this video talks about the Switchboard, the lessons taught here can apply to almost any switcher, including the RJM Mastermind PBC/6X and PBC/10.

This detailed look at expanding pedal board capacity aims to help guitarists achieve their desired sound setups, illustrating the switchboard's adaptability and potential for customization through MIDI.
