Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing the RG-16 audio loop and function switcher. The RG-16 has been designed to give you
total control of your amplifier, effects devices, effects pedals or other electronic equipment from a single MIDI
footswitch.
The RG-16 provides eight audio loops, eight function switches and a professional quality audio buffer, all in a compact,
single rack space design. Using the RG-16, you can control virtually any amplifier or effects unit – more than with any
other MIDI-based switching controller. A wide range of custom cables are available to connect the RG-16 to the vast
majority of the amplifiers on the market, and we are continually developing new cables to support additional amplifiers
and equipment.
RG-16 Features
• Eight audio loops for effect switching (four grouped in series, four independent)
• Eight function switches for amplifier control (channels, reverb, effects loops, etc.)
• A high-quality audio buffer that can be placed anywhere in the audio path
• Two 8-pin DIN jacks allow you to control up to two amps simultaneously
• Works with all MIDI footswitches
• Responds to Program Change and Continuous Controller messages
• Easy programmability via front panel buttons and LEDs
• Up to 256 programs can be saved in memory
• High-quality relays for optimal sonic performance, compatibility and reliability
• Supports both latching and momentary switching modes
• Electrically isolated jacks prevent ground loops and allow safe control of multiple amplifiers
• Provides phantom power to compatible MIDI devices when used with 7-pin MIDI cable
