Greetings,

I'm new to the forum and this is my first post. I came across info about the Voodoo Lab Control Switcher while trying to find a solution for using a Pod X3 Live in conjunction with my Laney VH100R amp. It looks like the perfect solution, but it appears that it still hasn't been released yet. Is this correct? This thread hasn't been updated since August of last year. Is there any more info on when this might be released? I haven't found anything else on the market which compares to the specs for the Control Switcher, so I'm VERY interested in getting one once they become available. Thanks!

Hi @voodoolab

I've odrered a control switcher by end of march 2010 at themadape.com. Already paid by paypal. But nothing happened so far, i'm waiting for 2 months but nothing arrived... no information at all.

The people at madape are telling that they didn't get the control switcher yet, but they hope to get it soon...

I don't mind about the manual, I'm shure to get that thing working (I'm already using a pedal switcher and commander). But I'm desperatly waiting for the control switcher!

So, please voodoolab, if somehow possible, I'm asking you to send a control switcher for me to themadape.com! My order number @themadape is 12377.
I don't care about the manual, I just need the switcher.
Would be very great to get it soon!

Thanks a lot and greetings, Ueli

I am also wondering about this product.

My amp is a Traynor YCS100H2. It has 3 channels and a solo boost. The footswitch uses three momentary switches for channel switching and a latching one for the solo boost. The footswitch uses a 5 pin DIN connector with the 5th pin being a -17V ground.

I am wondering if the Control Switcher would be able to handle this type of configuration, through the "multi" output. Please VL, let us know when this piece of gear will be available to us.

I ordered a Control Switcher at TheMadApe December 15, 2009 and had heard the "just waiting for the manual fairytail" since then.

This is my newest responce from Voodoolab:

Hi, Lars:

Thank you for contacting Voodoo Lab and for pre-ordering our Control Switcher. We expect to have the Control Switcher in production in the very near future, after which we will begin shipping it to dealers and distributors who have placed pre-orders. I don't have a specific release date.

I'm happy to help if you have further questions. Have a great day!

Best Regards,
Ms. Harmony Ellis

We did go back and add some new functionality to the Control Switcher.
-Control it from a Commander same as a Pedal Switcher.
-Control it from Ground Control Pro and it emulates 4 loops of a GCX.
-Individual switches respond to cc messages.
-Store presets and recall with program change messages.
-Each switch can be setup as latching or momentary type.

We are testing firmware and working on the manual. Units are built waiting for final. Everything is going well and I expect to ship them soon! PM me if you are desperate to get one.

Thanks!
