I was curious if anyone has tried to make the -/+ on channel 2 midi switchable.
Is this possible to do?
 
I know it's not possible now but I'm wondering if a modification can be done to make this possible. Has anyone done this?
It would basically make this a 4 channel amp.
 
There's a mod that you can do it with a 1/4' jack - not midi. Do a search - there was a thread about it at one point.

Still liking the Horizon?
 
If it helps, you can make it kind of midi swichable with a midi triggered relay as eg. the G-Major or Behringer FCB footswitch has...
 
Hey Matt,
Yeah I love that Horizon, I'm thinking to pull the solution out though and replace it with an Afwayu.

Cool. I swapped the Hell Baby in my PRS for another Afwayu. I like that pick-up alot.
 
Are you guys saying I can control the +/- with my g major 2?
 
There was talk at one time about this mod, but some guys were saying there was noise issues after the mod. I just roll the volume back on my guitar in 2+.
 
No bro...that´s not the deal. REduce vol is nearly the same as 2-, but you´ll never have this ultra dry bass response 2- has.
Thats the reason i´ve modded mine.

The mod is pretty easy!
You need to drill a new jack or use a speaker out you don´t need. I took a speaker out.
Simply get a shielded mono cable and connct the switch with the jack. The switch needs to stay in pos "-" to make it remoteable.
And as xmartx said, you nedd some of those devices or similar.
That´s all.
And if you do some presets, you´ll need to program this switch.

You need the mod to switch +/- with a normal footswitch that Bato described first, then you can switch it with whatever you like. Dunno if the G-Major 2 has the switching relays too but if so you can then control +/- with it.
 
Thanks for the info guys, it makes sense now.
Are there any draw backs to doing this?
RJF was talking about some noise issue??
