Does the job perfectly!
I purchased this product to help use my mesa mark v and dual rectifier with my midi rig (voodoo labs gcx)
It is a simple product, clearly labelled, and almost very plug and play.
All I had to do to get it to work was plug the power in, connect my cables (runs mesas via 4 separate guitar cables), then program it as a second gcx within my ground control pro. each cable corresponded to a numbered loop (1 to 4) within this 'second gcx' and to a control on the mesa, in the rectifiers case, 1 to 4 off was just clean channel, 1 was channel 2, 2 was channel 3, 3 was solo and 4 was fx loop.
The quality was not quite the same feel as other voodoo labs stuff I own, feeling much lighter and the led to signify the power is not as bright as I would have expected, however this is a very minor thing, nitpicking even. it is a metal structure and once it is plugged in, does not require touching again, so it does not need to be as sturdy. The lightness could also be seen as a positive as well if you wish to sit this on top of the amp, however I have mine in my rack unit.
I would recommend this without a doubt. Especially for mesa users as it means that you can use your midi switching without sacrificing banks in your gcx to act as switchers for the amp.

Very nice product.
I'm using this with my Engl Screamer 50 combo and works like a charm.
Pros:
- Easy presets (midi PC messages) configurations.
- DIN 5 pins can be used instead of mono jacks for easy plugin. You need to DIY the cable or buy it from Voodoo Labs.
Cons:
- Fixed midi CC messages implementation to activate the switchs independetly. But you can chose among several ranges.
- There is no way to list/view the current midi mappings.
