Title: Re: Ready to dump Repeater

I've had success using a Behringer FCP1010 to send loop up and down info, and then use the Digitech FS300 to cue up a play or record function.  Seems to work fine, although a little clumsey.  I've not tried to make the Behringer do it all yet.

I thought my original somewhat archaic Digitech PDS-type was not the best device to use and since sold it. I purchased a Fender Cyber-Twin MIDI Foot Pedal with the intention of using it for the CT as well as the Repeater. It's a real simple pedal to use. Sends PC and can send CC.
