Switching from Acoustic to Electric: Automating the Amp

· One min read
Musician @ Bandfix

You're a multi-instrumentalist. Song 1 is acoustic. Song 2 is electric. You have to: 1. Put down the acoustic. 2. Pick up the electric. 3. Mute the acoustic DI. 4. Unmute the electric amp. 5. Switch pedalboards. It takes 30 seconds of dead air.

The Old Way: Buying an A/B switch and hopping on one foot to hit it while changing guitars.

The Bandfix Way: MIDI Control.

  • Auto-Mute: When you swipe to the "Electric Song," Bandfix sends a MIDI command to your Helix/Kemper to mute the Acoustic path and unmute the Electric path.
  • Ready to Rock: You just pick up the guitar and play. The signal path is already switched.

Pro Tip: Use a wireless system for both guitars to make the physical switch even faster.
