I just got a used MOD 50 and installed two modules and hooked everything up. I followed the manual procedure:

The MOD50 comes preprogrammed with the four sounds (two per mod
ule) corresponding to buttons one through four on the EGNATER pedal
or program patch numbers one through four on a midi controller. This
can be easily changed. To do so, simply select the desired program
or patch number on your pedal. Next, select the module/channel u
singthe CHANNEL button. Now press and hold the CHANNEL button for
three seconds. The channel on LEDs will flash indicating the new setting
is now stored.

The standard Egnater pedal lights up and switches but the channels do not change and it doesn't blink after holding the channel button in for many seconds. How do I reprogram it?
 
Thanks - I'll try it - removing the chassis is going to suck :(
One other thing is there supposed to be a "back" board to the amp like to protect the tubes - my used one does not have it if it is supposed to be there.
 
If you read this first try channel 6 if thats not it I will check my GCP in the morning. I know its not on channel 1, my mod100 was channel 1the mod50 might be ch 2 but I think it is on channel 6.
 
That amp never had a bar on the back. It belonged to JKD I only used the Egnater pedal once. I used a GCP pedal and controlled the Mod50,RMod100 and M4 all together.
 
Thanks for all the replies guys! I'll pull it apart tomorrow and fix it up.
I took it to two different jam sessions today and a lot of experienced musicians thought the sound kicked ass. Running the SL2x and T/D.
 
Sorry forgot I switch the midi channel number. you can just slide the head out a few inches and see the midi switches if I recall correctly.
 
Except from the owner's manual. If you don't have one, email me at bruce@egnater.com or download it from grailtone.com in the modular section.


Internal DIP switch settings:

Inside the MOD 50 chassis, you will find a dip switch for setting up the midi/channel switching parameters. The amplifier is shipped set up to receive program change data on midi channel one. This setup is compatible with most standard setups. Should you have some specialized needs, the following paragraphs should provide the information you need.

The MOD 50 “reads” the DIP switch positions only on power up. Whenever a change is made to any dip switch, the MOD 50 must be powered off and back on to “read” the change.

DIP SWITCH SETTINGS:
Using a pen or similar pointy device, move the eight small switches ON or OFF according to your specific needs. See below for the switch functions.

Internal dip switch settings con’t:


S1 through S4 are used to set the midi channel (1 -16) that the MOD50 will receive data on. See the chart below.

CHAN. S1 S2 S3 S4
1 OFF OFF OFF OFF
2 ON OFF OFF OFF
3 OFF ON OFF OFF
4 ON ON OFF OFF
5 OFF OFF ON OFF
6 ON OFF ON OFF
7 OFF ON ON OFF
8 ON ON ON OFF
9 OFF OFF OFF ON
10 ON OFF OFF ON
11 OFF ON OFF ON
12 ON ON OFF ON
13 OFF OFF ON ON
14 ON OFF ON ON
15 OFF ON ON ON
16 ON ON ON ON

S5 is used to activate the “omni” mode. “Omni” is a special mode that allows the MOD50 to receive data on all 16 midi channels simultaneously. Turning the omni mode on overrides S1 through S4. Set actuator 5 down to turn the “omni” mode on or up for off.

S6 is the “Program change enable” function. This is the most common mode of operation that allows the M4 to receive program change (patch) commands from your midi controller. Set this switch down for on or up for off.

S7 is the “Controller data enable” function. Activating this mode allows the MOD50 to respond to instant access data from midi controllers. Below are the “note / controller” numbers that will turn on the modules.


Note Module
#56 ……… 1A
#57 ……... 1B
#58 ……… 2A
#59 ……… 2B
#60 ……… 3A
#61 ……… 3B
#62 ……… 4A
#63 ……… 4B
#64 ……… MUTE ALL

S8 has no function at this time.
