Published on 12/06/13 at 05:36Hello,
The Electro-Harmonix 45000 Foot Controller is dedicated to the looper pedals EHX 45000. It reproduces some functions of the front of 45000, and adds two features that are missing from the front (yet necessary): LOOP UP / DOWN LOOP .dropoff window
It also adds a display to know on which loop you are.
Recall that the offer 1000 45000 chacunes loops composed of 4 tracks mono + 1 stereo indépandantes track.
I for 7 months now.
This pedal, like other pedals EHX is super strong. It is powered by the jack which connects it to looper, knowing that Jack is quite standard.
It is well designed, solid, well thought out, and I have no complaints apart from some rare crashes I observed after much heated switches in muscular sessions (DOWN function remains active continuously, all reverting to normal when the support of another button).
However, one may question the value of such a purchase.
Indeed, as has so often explained in the Forum in 2880 and 45000, the looper is a blast when used in midday whether to sync with other equipment or for loop functions. EHX pedals and it is very limited in its functions, and not configurable. While a midi foot, gender or FCB Yamaha MFC etc ... makes all the follies! ... Such direct access intro / verse / chorus / outro, mute / unmute tracks, solo, track volume pedals (5 pedals on the MFC), panoramic etc ...
So basically, I would recommend a pedal noon, especially as we found used for little or ...
But be careful! a midi foot does not display the number of the current loop! ... (although you can tweak stuff for that, kind Arduino Raspery ...)
So if you need the display => EHX, otherwise => noon.
For me, it's both ...
Therefore
