Behringer FCB1010 Midi Pedal

This is my pedalboard- what I see when I look down. The Behringer FCB-1010 is my midi controller (detailed notes below), and above that is the standard controller for my Echoplex. This controls the rack. The top row of buttons controls the Echoplex, and the bottom row selects sounds for the synth as well as the different guitar sounds. One of the expression pedals controls the volume of the synth, and the other controls the feedback level on the Echoplex. Feedback is the rate in which the old loop decays as you either add new material or play over the loop. This is the one control all loopers should have but somehow do not.

The Behringer FCB-1010 Midi Pedal is a great pedal for the money. If you need some basic program changes, and a few CCs, this rocks. This UnOfficial firmware was developed with no help from Behringer (surprise), but by members of the FCB1010 Yahoo Group . Behringer repeatedly said they couldn’t add any functions to this pedal. There is simply no way. Well, the designers are wrong. I really hate that they dropped the ball on this. It is great when the users take charge. Congrats to not only the firmware, but the software editor that supports it. This pedal is about the only thing from this company I would recommend. Fairly useless without the firmware and software editors, it is absolutely wonderful when upgraded with what should have been there in the first place.
