Thanks Nathan. I also heard that i have to do a factory reset on my JVM so that the Boss ES8 can recognise the midi changes.

How changing multiple channels using one single trs cable?, lest say that you have clean/crunch/OD and you only have 1 output and your footswitch has 3 buttons. More specifically how to change the channels and voices of the Blackstar HT Stage 100 mark II. Thanks!

Doesn't work with a EVH 5150 III. Also connecting a midi cable to the EVH and the ES-8 and trying to control switching channels doesn't work.

Please help.

I can see the overdrive light turn on my BlackStar Club 40 by selecting Ctl 1 however the sound remains Clean and not Crunch. I have the Boss ES-8 connected using the 4 cable method according to what Boss provides as examples in their documentation. It would be nice if Boss could share their wealth by offering free online tech support like Voodoo Lab does.

Ok. That's all great. But how do I change channels via midi. I have a Marshall JVM 100 watt head and need to change channels through midi cause it's a 4 channel head with three different stages per channel ? If you could show me that I would be a very very happy young lad.

I followed the instructions but it doesn't seem to work. I have a Blackstar HT 60 and I'm using trs cable and it doesn't work. need help!
