Amp Channel switching by Boss FX Pedals
Just a quick question I couldn't find the answer to on the Boss website. My Korg pedal has an output to go to the footswith conector on my amp. I can then program each patch to use the clean or dirty channel in my amp and the korg automatically swithes the channels in the amp for me. Does Boss have this feature? I'm looking at any of the Boss GT series: GT-3, GT-5 or GT-6.

The Boss OD-20 stomp box modeler has it however the pedal sounds horrible

I'm not sure if this is the answer you're looking for, but... many amps have footswitches you can buy that do nothing but switch channels on the amp. This isn't a normal feature for multi effects pedals such as amp modelers like the Digitech RP200, but when you have an amp modeler, you don't need to switch channels on your amp, you switch between amp settings on your pedal.
"You must stab him in the heart with the Bone Saber of Zumacalis... well, you could stab him in the head or the lungs, too... and the saber, it probably doesn't have to be bone, just anything sharp lying around the house... you could poke him with a pillow and kill him."

I know what you mean, you want to switch the amp channels from your multi-effect unit, so in case you want to use the amp's distortion you won't have to step on two pedals at once (the amp's footswitch & the multi-effect).
Actualy I've never heard about this cool feature before in a multi-effect unit, I don't know if the GT-6 have it, but it's not on my GT-3 .
Anyway, usualy people who uses a multi-effect units like these you mentioned plug it directly into the amp's clean channel & do the rest from the unit.
You can always get a custom pedal board to do this ... if you can afford the extra $$$. ;)

You got the Idea sly. I have a killer tube amp and really have never found a distortion sound from a multi FX pedal that I liked for my main sound. My old Korg Pedal has this function and it's hard to believe that Boss or Digitech haven't picked up on this idea. I can get a Midi relay that will do the trick but thats another $130 in addition to what I'll be paying for the New FX unit.

You can buy any rack unit and midipedal Behringer FCB1010 that has two outputs for amp chanelswitching, or some midiswitch unit...
