Hi there guys!
The topic title pretty much speaks for it self... I am buying a mesa boogie TC50 which is midi programable. I'd like to know if any of you know if it is possible to use the PX8 to switch the amp's channels.
Thanks a lot, appreciate it

Yes, a PX-8 or PX-8+ will recall stored presets on the TC-50.
The PX-8 has three presets and the PX-8+ has 36 presets. Each preset will send a fixed MIDI Program Change message and you will set the amp to respond appropriately.
Here are the steps to program the amp:
1. Select a preset on the PX-8 or PX-8+.
2. Manually select the TRIPLE CROWN Channel and other functions you would like on or off in the preset, using the amp’s toggle switches. (You must flip every switch you want to store with this preset, even if its already on the correct setting... for instance, if you want the Clean Channel to be stored and the toggle switch is already on Clean, you must switch it away and back to store the setting.)
3. Engage the STORE SWITCH, and the STORE LED will illuminate briefly as an indication that the preset has been saved.
I hope that helps!
