I need midi help, such a midi virgin!

So I'm in the process of planning out my new rig for my new band, but is what I want to do possible? I want to switch both my m5's with one midi switcher. Can midi switchers do this, if so which small footprint ones would be a good bet?

This should do it:

How would I connect a midi mouse to 2x m5?

Just looked at the Line 6 manual for the M5.

It doesn't have a Midi Thru, which is a bit fucking dumb.

You either need a midi interface with 2 midi outs for it to work smoothly OR you need a midi splitter type of device.

Something like this: http://www.technobotsonline.com/midi-thru-box-4-splitter.html

I was thinking of the peak fcb4n2 and a midi splitter?

Does anywhere in the UK stock disaster area stuff?
Wanted one to replace an fcb1010 (to control a g major and jvm with tap tempo) for a long time!!

Unfortunately not. However, if you want to avoid taxes etc you could buy from The Effect Factory in France. That's where I got mine from
