The SixEight Sound Control VC-mini is a MIDI switcher, a controller pedal that sends MIDI commands to other gear rather than processing your guitar signal itself. Players use a switcher like this to change presets, switch channels, or toggle effects on MIDI-equipped pedals and rack units from one place on the board. It sits in the same family as the larger SixEight Sound Control VC-Touch, and it belongs to the broader group of MIDI pedals used for remote control of a rig.1
Because it is a controller and not an audio effect, the VC-mini does not shape your tone in the way an overdrive or delay does. Its job is to sit alongside your effects and send program changes and control messages, so a single footswitch press can do what would otherwise take several taps on different pedals.1
Power and setup
The VC-mini runs on a 9V DC supply with a center negative plug, the same standard polarity used by most pedalboard power supplies.1
The maker's English user manual is published online as a PDF, and it is the reference for detailed setup and operation of the unit.1
