All user reviews for the Behringer FCB1010 Midi Foot Controller

How long you use it?

I use this pedal twelve o'clock since 2005. He served in the studio and on stage, and at home.

What is so special that you love the most, least?

Pros: versatility, robustness, efficiency.

The -: weight (normal to the metal box, but plastic pedals), programming (which requires an adjustment period), all too brief manual (programming).

Did you tried many other models before buying it?

No, I had found this product with such a quality / price ratio and many pedals!

How would you rate the quality / price?

Excellent!

With experience, you do again this choice?

Certainly. The only factor that would change the pedals for another, it would be my own budget (and target prices to me are currently disabled).

I been using it for 4 years and although I have procured for a year and a half.
I've used other pedals controllers: one might say a controller is a controller ever ... but this one I was initially attracted by its price well below the quasi-similar to roland ( for a similar result after all, for what little I've used the Roland).
Then the other pedals do not usually have as many or two pedals volume / expression.
After all depends on how it is used: some players will make a pedal that controls the effects, others will do a set of commands to use eg Live or other software. I am part of the second tranche since I only use it to control Live and real and virtual instruments that I use with. Basically, I assign my pedals to certain software functions (usually the "selection" tracks and "registration") and then I play live using my feet to launch sounds, stop, record or my guitar synthesizer to read then just recorded these sounds, etc..
The price / quality ratio is unbeatable today. All the "big brands" offering such a machine have higher rates (about double or more! ...). I think that € 160/200 was a bit expensive since they are only controllers but now we are nine to 120 €. It is important to note that the Behringer-which is still cheap - does not always offer the quality stuff (I know this brand because of limited financial resources of my projects: tables mixes do not last very long The effects are often of poor quality, the instruments amps dishes ...) But I have a particular sound (800W amp and speaker 1400W) that sounds of thunder and turbine 7 years without worry. This brand comes more often to deliver products that are affordable while maintaining a level of quality and reliable strength: this pedal is one of those products, solid, effective not too expensive.
Most: ease of getting started in midi with different software (I assume that with effect racks is at least as easy). Robustness of the cash machine that blows without flinching the metal shell is unbreakable and buttons are solid. And a point which is positive and both negative: it is quite large, which makes its use easier in concert because we not press two buttons by mistake, but it's enough to carry large and heavy ...
Cons: bah ... a USB port would have been quite handy in certain circumstances to feed the beast and connect to a computer interface ... without at the same time, it's better to be able to connect to mains power and keep the computer for apps. The most negative for me is the fact reassign each button: for use with live example, I had to delete and reassign each button one by one. Not only the operation is very long, but the user manual is quite complicated to find and the operation is not simple.
With the experience I would do this choice, but some years before to master it better!

I use this pedal for 5 years now, to live. No more tap dancing.

Part of good product from Behringer, for one tough & reliable, I've never had a problem with.

Modifiable if you wish a handyman.
- Auto isolated power via the MIDI port (power supply provided by the multi-effects)
- EPROM uno installed to enjoy the stompbox mode
- Switch installed on a volume pedal, connected to a switch to activate the expression pedal in question

Easy programming via Ripwerx FCB1010 Editor (essential for complex programming via the pedals)

It lacks little to be perfect ....
Value for money maddening

Thank you to those that develop in place of behringer (Uno, Ripwerx ....) (-1 so as to note)

With experience, I resumed without a problem. Once we understand the principles of configuration noon, there is nothing complicated but it is the most time consuming step.

I use this product for about 4 months, to control my rack guitar, that is to say a Mesa-Boogie Quad preamp (no MIDI), a G-major + a few other things that interest us here!

Then I found this great pedalboard! It allows me to control everything!

Here's how I did: since the QUAD is noon and it has a system of switch by jack (4 channels + 2 + equalos boost + reverb reverb cancel) I use two switches for this purpose + FCB1010 in the two systems to switch from my g-major = 4 switchable channels!

J'utiliseune of two pedals for boost, and the other is for whammy, or to control the amount of delay in my sound.

Each pedal 1 to 10 I used to change my patches (really?) And in addition, I assigned two crtl changes on each of my pedals: one on and one off, which allows me to control the tap tempo ! is the only way to do it with a g-major! NICKEL and it works!!
It's a great product! I have not tried other before, but I have a lot of advice and research docs on the net, especially on the rocktron midimate, and MIDI board of Custom Audio Electronics, but very expensive, and the behringer does everything I ask him very well!

I would do without this choice hesitate!

I use it for a year, I am trsmcontent, I pawned two weeks ago ...
This thing is improgrammable (and yet I am in IT).
I have the rammener the store to reflash the EPROM, because ADCON a full tube. The seller did not understand either how this thing could work.
The documentation is null !!!!! I could never run my Flextone II HD with line 6. I tried with synths, a little better, but nothing more.
If I had known I would have taken a Roland, or if I had more in an ART (top notch).

In addition I find the foot pedals not enjoyable, as too soft.

Frankly I do not know if I fell on the wrong horse, but I do not advise anyone, unless you want to take the head.

Since I leave my squenceur to change my sound and at least I'm sure that worked.

Frankly too much of the crap!

Used for 6 months

Trs versatile programming grows (but not easy ...)
It is the latest version software (2.41), which allows copying patches, and many "dbogue", otherwise galre. The VAS is nickel: simply send an email and the latest version software + EPROM are sent free of charge for whatever pdalier recorded.

The problem is the main manual, Premire incomprhensible reading. We must therefore help the AF forums and Yahoo.

By registering on the forum Yahoo FCB 1010 is accde many things:
- Addicted to programming via PC: there is a utility for a via SysEx, tlchargeable, very practical to edit and save pRSET.
- Possibility to "customize" the pdalier: phantom power via the MIDI .... Be careful, any changes will void the manufacturer's warranty!

Finally pdalier a transformerless adapter Fully programmable with two pedals, one for the boost and / or volume, one for effects, whammy etc. ... And 2 switches for non-MIDI devices.
In addition, the price Behringer, with a beautiful apparent solidity.

In short, again, I would dive to purchase ...

Hi,
J have the pedalboard for 6 months, my PODxt Live driver as in local, it is very reliable, whatever that I have a few crashes but c is extremely rare, no latency between the change of sound, c is the costo all metal apart the 2 expression pedals are plastic and rubber protection on the top of the pedals, but no problem like ca perfect road.
J uses a term of two pedals for volume / effect and another wah biensur, the opening angle of the pedals is correct.
No programming Cot I've had no problems in 10 minutes j had any program unlike bcp people so I will not dwell on the subject m.
C is the MIDI board's cheapest market to my knowledge, it is 100% perfect and responds to my needs, c dailleurs is why I'm going to put 10.
j uses a max of 15 sounds, but c is my choice lol, it is Fully programmable in 10 banks of 10 presets, so 10 switches and two pedals of expression. (It can also control some amp switcher).
I used the daily or almost, he has not moved it is beautiful, reliable, zero-latency, in retrospect I do it again without eSite the same choice, I really advice for me c is the best MIDI board, and You have to be for the price you need to spend a cot if you need a MIDI foot controller to control your guitar sound, c is the that you need.

I use it for 1 month, Thoman was purchased from 150 euros

Pedal very well made, very beautiful, very bine damn, nothing to say, if not always notice behringer NULE a shit, but that's normal, considering the price and the quality of gear, j'aprouve behringer because it makes available a very good pro gear, has a small budjet, so nothing to say.

jamma essy other model

The report price is KALIT bonement exeptionnel

I bought this to drive a pedalboard v amp bass pro, bine and I must say that the only action to link to this pedalboard v amp, turns it into multieefect very practical and comprehensive. Here's to the Ides donenr, my modus operandi.

on the pedalboard pedals there are 10 from 1 to 10 and two expression pedals. Bankes and 10 for a total of 100 nimble Programmable

well I like this program:

I only use a single amp per bank, against my pedals from 1 to 5 crechendo increase the gain of my amp, it has a say on that is clear, 2 a slight CRUCH etc ... ........

maes pedal 6 to 10 are used to activate an effect, chorus, flanger, etc. .............

Expression pedals are used, one volume and the other assay the effect selected.

here is what rocked pedalier

Hi everyone,

RUSI I finally set this thing thanks guys like toniodod, clarckkent4, sergiogibson of guitariste.com. It's really very difficult if you have the doc I behringer potash hours I did not understand. Also for your convenience I will not tell you not what to do to program it with a V-amp pro (I have only DSOL a): a zero is for MIDI like me. In fact I did not understand the principle.

----------------------------------------------

First and first we must choose the MIDI channel on which the v amp pro will match the support for this pdalier simultanment Arrows on 2 then A (you just turn on midi channels ) Here you choose a n 1 16 with the Arrows on the right (I chose 16) when you press select tuner. Ok you just said the v amp pro that he will talk to the pdalier on channel 16

------------------------------------------
GLOBAL CONFIGURATION

Now we have to say that FCB will discuss with the V amp pro on channel 16. I turn on the FCB while pressing DOWN (about 3sec)

=> Select Direct lights (green lead) I press UP to move the utility (you can come back later)

=> MIDI FUNCTION flashes I press the pedals n1 (I just say that I program the FCB V AMP PRO on a program change)

=> MIDI FUNCTION is still flashing and the pedals by n1 cons I display (red leads) that included 01

=> I can confirm with pressing UP

=> I enter the channel when I selected the V AMP PRO (for me 16) then pressing the pedals on the pedals and a 6 j'appuis UP to confirm. (If you select a channel style 2 or 3 I think we should write 02 or 03)

=> And I leave the global configuration by pressing DOWN for 3 sec

--------------------------------------------

PRESET PROGRAMMING

Now we will select the sounds you want to program select PRESET in Table V-AMPIRE SHEET / V-AMP 2 / V-AMP PRO REPRESENTATIVES all sounds dja programs in the v amp pro .

I take A2 (highway to hell), a small right-hand column (preset) is listed on n6

=> I stay on the bank 00 of FCB pedals I press the 1 (I put in the bank's A2 00 PDAL 1)

=> I press DOWN for 3 seconds => UP => short blasts on the pedals a flashing (the FCB I recall that in the V AMP PRO I'll get the sound).

=> UP (I confirm)

=> I write in the digital display 06 (see the patch of APRS A2 corresponds to the table n6) with pedals pedals 0 then 6.

=> UP (I confirm)

=> I press DOWN for 3 seconds to exit the preset.

try another patch v amp pro sound clean example: A8 (DRY funk) n 12:36 ok?

=> I stay on the bank of 00 ETFs I press the pedals 6 (I put in the bank's A8 00 PDAL 6)

=> I press DOWN for 3 sec => UP => short blasts on the pedals a flashing (l I remind the FCB that the V AMP PRO I'll get the sound).

=> UP (I confirm)

=> I write in the digital display 36 (see the patch of APRS A8 corresponds to the table n36) with three pedals and the pedals 6.

=> UP (I confirm)

=> I press DOWN for 3 seconds to exit the preset.

Voil you just set your pdalier two sounds is more complete. Now I STUDY programming pedals and try to see what can be done with this machine

If you can not program the FCB and I've dgrossit thank you for the job leave me a msg was always happy.

friendly

Appearance / solid:
Say nothing of the cot These and nickel, no play in the expression pedals, robust, be just a little bit heavy (guarantee of solidity?).

Note: 10/10

CHARACTERISTICS:
10 banks
10 presets in each bank
each preset can be assigned:
5 Program Change
2 Control Change
2 Relay Switch (ordering amps instead of the usual switch pedals)
2 Expression pedals
Possiblilt set the MIDI channel for each piece of information sent (but overall, not for each preset)

We would have more AIM Control Change, 2 it is sometimes limited.

Rating: 8 / 10

Use / Handling:

Programming the presets a bit long and tiring to enter numbers using the pedals, it would be a matrix AIM and manual controls in order to make easier its presets. In addition the programming of presets is not easy to take at the beginning.
The manual does not help on this, a ride on the forums and explanations can help (thank you TonioDOD ).
The operating mode presets involves scratching their heads for their organizations and sometimes ncssite few compromises.

rating: 6 / 10

Global Opinion:

Despite some programing Drout, namoins The FCB1010 is a very good product. I use it with the v-bass of the same brand, and these two products work together without any problems. This application pdalier just a little thought, some connaissainces MIDI, and a little practice (Just A Day)
