Midibox 2 The Midibox 2 allows you to connect Empress Pedals equipped with a control port to MIDI. It converts the standard 5 pin MIDI cable to a simple guitar patch cable.

The Empress Midibox 2 runs on standard 9V negative tip DC power. It draws about 10mA. Empress Midibox2 works with: At first only Chase Bliss Audio pedals could interface with the Empress Midibox. You need to flip the tip and ring for it to work. Then Alexander Pedals got into the ring with Midibox compatibility. By ring I mean, the ring between the tip and the sleeve. Actually, I don't think Alexander Pedals do anything with the ring so forget I said that. Then Distaster Area started making controllers with a Multi-jack output. This output has the capability to produce the same output as a Midibox. Then Meris started making pedals that were compatible with the Midibox. All their pedals are compatible. Bondi Effects is about to release the Art Van Delay which will be Midibox compatible! User Manual
