M-Vave Chocolate with BOSS GX100-Setup for effect control wirelessly via Bluetooth

A quick look at how to program the ‪@M-VAVE‬ "Chocolate" controller to send MIDI CC#s to the BOSS GX100 and some ideas on how to use it. It has given me a much more solid connection than the BOSS BT unit, which frequently drops connection to the EV-1-WL.

Good to see ya up and about. Great video and perfect timing as I've been thinking about a setup like this but didn't want to jump in the deep end w/ Morning Star and Widi. This setup is perfect for desktop mucking about and will look great placed in front of the keyboard/ pedalboard.. I ordered both units immediately, should be here later this week. Many thanks for your hard work and dedication, I've learned so much from your vids and look forward to more content 😀

Thanks Jimi! It was a couple of tough weeks, but much better feeling now. Yeah, this little guy is really cool to experiment with. Thanks for the kind words and always being here, bro 🤘🏻

[@JiMiBluEyeZ]

Thx again man, super fun stuff! Only hooked up Akai keyboard w/ wireless midi dongle to windoz laptop and iPad so far, killer!! Stripped down rig, Akai w/ wireless midi > ipad bt > DCLX or Air EX. Simple and elegant ( battery powered and wireless) solution 😊 Just the beginning, so many ways to muck around and clobber together gear to experiment with " well, will THIS idea work" kind of stuff. Wireless midi dongle + M-VAVE with GX100, with RC500, with audio interface, with Air Fryer? Unlimited possibilities 😂

[@DoubleDguitar]

Hahah if you get the air fryer worked out, lmk cuz I effin love mine hahah. I am stoked you got this all rolling along so quickly and just saw your pic on the fb group. In case you see this first, which Akai is that?? Looks bigger than mine…thus better.

[@julietspaintings]

love that bubble gum pink guitar behind you!

[@DoubleDguitar]

She is a good one, for sure! Thanks Juliet.

[@mickg2310]

Looper setup please 🙏

[@DoubleDguitar]

Ok cool! Will be within the next couple of videos. Thanks for checking this out 🤘🏻

[@icarobuckley]

Great vídeo! Thank you. How to configure for Tuner on/off? And, how to configure bank up and bank down? Is possíble?

[@DoubleDguitar]

You’re welcome, glad you liked it! If you look through a couple more of my videos, you should see one about assignments and how to use them. You can do both of these a couple of ways, under your patch assignments, there are a large number of choices and you want to make the “target” category match up with the switch you want to use as the “source”. I also recommend getting on the Facebook gx100 users group, almost every question you could have would be already answered there. And good folks, easier to troubleshoot. Hope this answer gets you going in the right direction, you can absolutely do that.

[@rodrigoflores9826]

Thank you!

[@DoubleDguitar]

You got it and thank you! 🤘🏻

[@WILBERTM7]

Where did you buy those clear knobs caps for the GX-100?

[@DoubleDguitar]

They are Mooer Crystal Clear toppers. I just grabbed them from Amazon.

[@paultilley8921]

I have a Boss Pocket GT and was wondering if there's a way to use the M-VAVE footswitch with it to control it's various functions? 🤔

[@DoubleDguitar]

Hmm, I don’t think so. I tried to get the Chocolate to pair to the Boss BT unit, and they wouldn’t talk. The only way I could get it to see the GX was to use that dongle.

[@paultilley8921]

@DoubleDguitar thanks for the reply! I only received the M-VAVE footswitch today in the mail and had hopes of getting to work somehow with my Boss Pocket GT because it is capable of being used with the Boss wireless footswitch, FS-1-WL.......and in the app which controls the Pocket GT there's a menu where you can change the functionality of each switch individually to turn effects on or off.

[@DoubleDguitar]

@@paultilley8921 some things must have been updated since I tried. Let me know what you come up with. That would be awesome.

[@TMFJ983]

Can I do this with my Airstep? Thanks

[@DoubleDguitar]

Hmmm I am not sure. You may need the right midi dongle, if they pair…I would think so!

[@zakklee2556]

Boss Ev-1-wl lost connection alot with Boss PGT too? Would like to use the Boss Ev-1-wl with the Boss Katana Air EX.

[@DoubleDguitar]

It seemed to be more solid with the PGT, for me it’s their BT adapter add on for the GX100 that just seems super un-solid.

[@JiMiBluEyeZ]

Haven't really had any issues w/ the EV, although haven't had much plug in time with it. Paired w/ PGT, WAZA headphones and Air EX.

[@DoubleDguitar]

@@JiMiBluEyeZ oh man, I bet it would rule with the Waza headphones.

[@MasonHunter-xt9iy]

I want to use a midi foot controller to change presets but still use the buttons on the GX 100 to control effects on amd off. Can you olease help??

[@DoubleDguitar]

This video should help you, it’s in the assignments section of the GX. It’s tough to troubleshoot in yt comments, I also recommend joking the GX users group on fb. Take your time, it’s not hard once you grasp the concept of how to set up the assignment.

[@MasonHunter-xt9iy]

​@@DoubleDguitarthank you for your response! And I've learned everything I know so far from your videos. I'd be way more lost without you!

[@DoubleDguitar]

@@MasonHunter-xt9iy right on! Glad I can give some guidance.

[@MasonHunter-xt9iy]

It appears all I'm looking to do is instead of the M Vave A, Ba, C and D changing effects on and off, I need A to pull up 01-01, B to pull up 01-02, etc!!!

[@MasonHunter-xt9iy]

Man.. I just can't figure it out. I've tried everything.
