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?

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.

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

In fact you just reminded me to order another spare.

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.

Perfect. Exactly what I hoped for when I started this thread

Yep, it has to be an OTG (On the go) lead. I use a generic one from Ebay.

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...
