Why mesa simply put in your heads midi capabilities ?

I think it will not change the tone.

I will sell my triaxis and buy a roadster or a roadking

:shock: :?: :shock: :?: :shock: :?:
 
I think it would be a bad idea. There is just too much stuff in the head to begin with (circuit wise). It would be like adding another haystack to a pile of haystacks that is over stuffing the barn. If that is your only reason for not getting a RK or RS amp then it is a pretty weak argument since you can probably fit an external midi switching device inside the chassis of the amp with the tubes. You are going to spend a lot of money on the amp what is another 200 dollars for a midi switching device?

You know it can be done.
I don't.
I know nothing about electronics and I don't know how to do it.
If I know I won't asking about it.
So tell me how can I use my midi footcontroler to change a head's channels through a midi cable ?
thanks

Get a CFX4 from Axess Electronics and appropriate cable made for your head(Mario at Axess sells these too) hook the CFX4 to any midi foot controller and bingo you're in business. The CFX4 is small and can easily fit into most chasis with velcro or 3M dual lock. You can also get a GRX4 which is a 4 loop device to use for pedals and or rack FX, hook this to the CFX4 via midi cord and you can do all your amp switching and FX switching with the midi foot controller.
Many other manufacturers offer similar solutions.

I bought a CFX4 when I had my Nomad, and now I use it with my Stiletto Ace. Mario Marino and his crew at Axess build great stuff, totally dependable and high quality. Midi In and Midi Through jacks make the connection simple and transparent. You can't lose!

Dude I apreciated your help but do you think that there are people only in north america ??!!
In my country a cfx4 don't even exist.

That's why I'm asking why mesa just don't put midi in their heads.

:oops:

not saying where I live it says to you that I live in north america ??!!
I'm kidding. :D
Even if it is shipped worldwide I will have to pay 60% border taxes plus 30% to instrument stores.
I will pay more than twice its value !!
That's why I prefer a boogie head with midi.
I'm from brazil.
thanks


BTW if I was born in canada AVRIll wil be my woman !!!!
:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Wow your tax system is worse than Canada..lol. I know there are guys in S America using this stuff perhaps you can find it used on Ebay in your area. Bradshaw makes similar products as well. I doubt you'll ever see Mesa do it.

Another one to watch out for on EBAY is a Rockman Octopus they spring up once in a while and a Rocktron Patchmate

I think the answer is that the majority of guitar players have MIDI-phobia. The exception seems to be in Europe, where MIDI I think is more popular than the US. I love MIDI myself, but even I have to admit that when something goes wrong, you can be in deep trouble, especially in a live situation. I always document all my song settings on paper after programming, but what a pain in the ***.

I suppose it is possible to make any amp MIDI, but allowing full adjustment of the pots and all settings is not easy nor cheap to do. The main problem is that you want to allow the guitarist to still twist knobs and see his settings, so it is not ideal to completely replace the user interface with internal MIDI stuff.

For those of us who want MESA with MIDI, the Triaxis / Simul 2:90 is still the best way to go. I hope MESA comes out with a new model that includes the Lone Star and other newer sounds, but I'm not holding my breath.

Why? Becouse MIDI option costs preety much, that's why there is no MIDI in many preamps.

Yes, our tax system is THE world's worst tax system. LOL! :)

although "Shade" is somewhat misinformed . . . he will not have to pay 60% for import taxes plus 30% for the stores, since 60% is the import taxes for individuals. if he wants to import direct, he will have to pay "only" the 60% . . . :?
 
yes but to do it I have to have an international credit card.
I don't have it.I don't use banks at all.
I hate them.
I prefer travelling :wink:
