Mailist to discuss all issues regarding the Digitech GSP-2101 Guitar FX Processor

From the limited information on the website it seems this device is really 
intended to network their LeHle SGoS products. As far as I am aware 
the Behringer FCB 1010 is the only commercial low cost solution that offers 
effects or amp switching. If you are handy with a soldering iron and know your 
way around a schematic diagram you can also try this kit :

Can you give a make and model of the pedal you are trying to switch? It's still 
not clear what interfaces you are working with.
