    For a SWITCH modifier you should enter Amp settings programming function and set states of lines SW1 to SW4 to achieve the desired amp settings. SWITCH modifier recalls desired amp settings so to switch e.g. between two channels it is needed to program two footswitches as SWITCH modifiers. For a MIDI modifier you should apply the same procedure considering that you can program footswitch to control one of MIDI devices (or more) and by Control Change commands one of the function of selected MIDI device.
