Anyone knows where I can find the channels/ground layout on the mesa roadsters footswitch jack? I need to make a custom cable to control channels with a voodoo lab control switcher

I need to find out which pins of the 7pin midi jack on the roadster control each channel and the groun conection. In order to make a midi cable i can use to change channel with the control switcher
Example: pin1 ground. Pin2 channel 1. Etc...

Plug the footswitch cable ino the amp with our the footswitch. Touch each pin of the cable with something metal, like a jeweler's screwdriver or the tip of a pen.
Oh gotcha.
I know CH3 is the default channel so there's no pin for that, channel 3 is essentially no pins, if you don't want to use the conductor method with the end of the cable, you can also look at the foot switch itself.

Looks like you are going to have a 7 or 8 pin DIN connector that needs to come into 7 individual 1/4 inch audio connectors. I think pin 1 is the ground that mesa uses in all its amps, may be wrong, but it looks like they do.
It will be messy, but it will control your amp perfectly.
Good luck.
