Introduction:

The HT MIDI Interface from Champion Pedals is a MIDI controlled

8 channel amp switcher primarily made to control Blackstar™

“HT” series amps with the 9 pin footswitch connector.

In addition to the 9 pin control, it also features 2 isolated stereo 1/4”

jacks that offer control of up to 4 more functions on 2 devices.

The HT MIDI Interface outputs can be set to latching as well as momentary.

The HT MIDI Interface features a micro USB connector and works with

Mac and PC as a driverless install.

The included Configurator software is compatible with PC and Mac

and gives you an intuitive GUI interface to set the HT MIDI Interface’s

parameters if your needs differ from the default settings.

Deep editing is made easy with the Configurator® software.

Works best with a Ground Control Pro™ or better, though it will also work

great with a Rocktron MIDI Mate™ or Behringer FCB1010™
