All user reviews for the Behringer FCB1010 Midi Foot Controller

I for nearly 4 years, okay coupled with a V Amp Pro Bass and now a Pod Xt Pro Bass I therefore serves to control my pre amp
there to a small screen that displays the preset buttons''and''to select presets and banks and 2 expression pedals, so a priori, 1 volume and 1 wah but as everything is configurable, you can do 2 wah wah: D

Advantages: efficient and very cheap, it's been quite a job!

Faults: long to set up, the pedals are simplistic terms so for fans of guitar wah wah it's not crazy, the pedal is a bit of time to respond by cable length (pm)

voila!

I bought it last week and spent some time on it. Originally I had purchased my drive AdrenaLinn 3 with dedicated chip (AdrenaProm) I have not yet received. So I said, well I'll try it with Guitar Rig. I drooled all full at the beginning because I tried to configure everything yourself with the manual without arriving at anything ... And looking on the forums, I found a tutorial on youtube (I think the guy is Brazilian, anyway it's in Portuguese but c is subtitled in English and the video with all going well) and there in ten minutes was set. Since I seem to have rediscovered guitar rig that I no longer used too and I do not know if I'll intaller the AdrenaProm The programming trick is not so problematic that the bed: it is tedious because you have to do 200 times the same manipulation but not really complicated.

For the quality of the controller itself, it is metal with 10 +2 good quality switches are somewhat stiff and resemble those of the boss gt. It is heavy and stable and has a good power supply without transformer (I hate wall warts). on the other hand expression pedals are average, but all appear to be plastoc can recalibrate if they ever malfunction, it is explained in the manual and the tutorial Brazilian posted above (and here: https: / / secure. mtnsys.com / faq-fcb / How% 20to% 20Files/Expression_Pedal_Calibration.pdf). The only thing that bothers me is that if you do not need two expression pedals or switches for both the same price that the vehicle + eprom UNO you can have a boss GT3 or 5 who really more opportunities.

J'update when I received and installed the AdrenaProm!

Update a week later: Well then, I've received, the AdrenaProm, I installed it and I realized I could not do without the FCB to control Guitar Rig and I uninstalled. .. and sale. Weird, sometimes, what we do with the stuff!

What I like most about the FCB 1010 is that it is a fully functioning Midi foot controller that does everything you could ask of it for a fraction of the price that other foot controllers cost. On top of that, most of those other controllers only come with one foot pedal where the FCB has two (very nice). It is also made very well and is not a plastic piece of junk which I half expected it to be since it is from behringer and its fairly inexpensive. Another nice thing is there are additional pedal jacks incase you need more stomps/pedals. So far, there is nothing I dislike about this unit except maybe the fact that there is no USB connection, but that's not that big of a deal. I paid $140 on ebay brand new which for a midi foot controller is an excellent deal. This unit doesn't effect sound as it is only a midi controller. I used to own a Rolls Midi buddy but after months and months of trying to figure out how to get it to do anything besides just changing patches, I sold it and bought this guy, what a good move. Yes, I think if you use midi devices and need to control them with your feet, then this is the best controller you can get for the money. Something else to note, I read in some places that there are some faults with the firmware that the FCB 1010 ships out with like not being able to use the pedals at the same time as the stomps. I haven't run into any serious problems yet, but I do plan on buying the "UNO Chip" for this very soon. The uno chip is designed to fix all of these problems and is very inexpensive. The only problem is it comes from a third party developer and you have to install it yourself. It seems reliable and easy to do though.
