I think the Lake Butler Mitigator is too, but I haven't ever seen the full specs on it. Oh, maybe there's the Bradshaw unit too, although I imagine the Roctron is essentially the same thing. The Rocktron is probably the best, but most expensive. The Roland has tons of features, including a really complete midi implementation, built in expression pedal, and six(!) expression pedal inputs, but the impossibly lame oversight of a 2 digit numeric display and limited memory. The digitech pmc-10 is just right - cheap used, full featured, well designed. Most of the other midi pedals out there just send midi program change and some limited continuous controllers. They're only intended for simple patch switching on rack multieffects, which won't be enough for what you want. steer clear of them, look for the good stuff. good luck, kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
