stewblack Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I'm interested in combining a Zoom pedal with a midi controller. It can be done with this Assuming the longer cable is just a standard USB A to USB Mini-B cable of which I have many, is there anything fancy about the short cable or does it simply adapt the cable to produce one cable with a Mini-B at either end?

PaulThePlug Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) Or a converter for a USB A extension lead... Check they are Full-Bifda Power and Data and not just power. Few issues with a Zoom B1on/Four not talking to ToneLib as the lead is power only. Great you can run a Zoom powered by USB from PC, Phone Charger, or Powerbank, by 4x AA, or 9v by Wall Wart or a PP3 with Batt Snap.

lidl e Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 (edited) I use this for controlling my C4 with the dmc.micro. it isnthe same as the gHost adapter. I think it just has to specify otg I have the longer one as well https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B08QNCW2TX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image In fact you just reminded me to order another spare.

lidl e Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 FYI, everyone. The gHost adapter has something special about it as i tried many cables and adapters to get around buy the gHost. Only that one i linked to on amazon worked for me,but is is a very "elegant" solution I bought all of these trying to get it working And yes, i did end up spending much more on all of these than if i just went ahead and bought the gHost.

Yep, it has to be an OTG (On the go) lead. I use a generic one from Ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted May 29 Author Share Posted May 29 The double ended cable recommended by @lidl e works like a charm. However I now find myself wanting to connect to a computer to label presets. So I shall experiment with some adapters... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
