thanks — is there a walk through tutorial available anywhere for a basic pedal board setup? —

Really do not care which board — I am open to purchase anyone of them at this point.

Ideally I would like to purchase one that is the easiest to program that will allow me to do the things I want per my initial post.

Regarding amp — its channel switching pedal cable is has a Stereo jack….but that is the least of my problems or concerns.

I already searched support and all I got back was the type of gibberish that I just do not understand.

I will go to sites you suggested — but I got to tell you a simple walk through tutorial will go a long way in helping a guy like me out — and I am sure there are many folks like me out there that would jump on products like the Eclipse but are scared off with all the midi stuff.
