Disaster Area DPC-8EZ Gen3 Programmable Bypass Switcher with MIDI Disaster Area

From Disaster Area Amps:

A bypass looper can streamline your rig in ways you never thought possible – imagine being able to tap one footswitch to go from verse to chorus to bridge of a song, while changing up to eight different effects plus two MIDI devices!

If you already have a MIDI controller, the DPC-8EZ can act as a MIDI “slave” on any available channel.  You can even connect two or more DPC-8EZ to control more pedals.

The DPC-8EZ is fully compatible with the Disaster Area Gen3 pedal controllers – connect it to add eight effects loops under MIDI control.  The DPC-8EZ can also function as a standalone MIDI controller for up to two devices.
