The Rockman MIDI Octopus module provides MIDI switching capability to 1/4 inch jack footwitchable functions. Eight effects can be turned on or off simultaneously. Can be used in conjunction with the Remote Loop Box or Dual Remote Loop Module to:

• Switch floor effects
• Route audio signals and switch audio loops
• A/B switching
• Select channels on non-channel switching dual channel amps
• routing one input between two outputs or vise-versa
• Improve over-all sound of amplification systems because when
  "off " path is chosen, the effect is completely removed from
  the signal path.

On Stage

The MIDI Octopus module is used by all guitarists (except Delp) on the BoSToN stage. Not used in Scholz's acoustic setup. Controlled by the Rockman MIDI Pedal.

Collectability

The Rockman Octopus is common and readily available. Used by a wide variety of musicians. The Rockman Remote Loop boxes needed to control non-footswitchable devises can be real hard to locate and expensive for what they are.
