Anyone know how to make an expression pedal fade between two amps?

For example: having a clean lonestar when the pedal is down fade to a rectifier modern when you push the pedal up? In other words, it would mute one while playing the other...vice versa.
 
You can do that with a panning pedal like this

You could place a Ernie Ball Stereo/Pan Volume pedal (https://www.shopatron.com/product/part_number=P06165/574.0.23625.0.0.0.0) through the Recto and Lonestar loops (one loop on each channel on the pedal) and use it to fade between them. But remember that as you fade over to clean and play at the same time, you'd still be able to hear the same playing through the Recto (less and less). So sometimes it can sound a bit ugly... if you want that straight distortion fade-away with clean playing fading in, I guess you could accomplish it with some sort of a delay setting on a good effect processor.[/url]
 
That is a cool idea, I know a guy that has a guitar with gibson pups and piezos, and the piezos feed into a marshall acoustic amp and the gibsons into a carvin and he controls them with 2 separate volumes and the fading stuff he does is really cool.
 
very interesting idea - I hope it works for you. I have a two combo rig but I switch signal via a Lehle box and use midi prg change to move signal between amps so no fading between them [which sounds like a great idea].


The Lehle box is marvellous for multi-amp rigs.....
