re: Question concering midi foot controller

["john smith" <ninertriplezero@email.com>]

Rob, 

Thanks for the feedback.  I was looking into the FBC 1010 just yesterday.  
 I think I one 
pedeal is what I'm interested in.  My set up is pretty simple.  I'm using 
a Boss SE-50, a 
Jamman and now I'm replacing a Boomerang with the Echoplex. This is mainly 
to get as 
much off the floor and into a rack as possible.  I'm pretty good at 
keeping my pedal board 
simple and static once I get through experienting.  I'm looking at some 
touring here in 
Europe and, you know, the less stuff to organise and carry works better.  

So, I guess the question then becomes a few in a row: 
Are the FBC 1010 switches programmable as momentary switches?
Is one able to program the FBC 1010 to send simple program change 
messages?  
Would you suggest this pedal for these purposes I've described or is there 
something 
smaller or more portable I could look into.  

OK, let me know...


Thank you again for your feedback, 
take care, 

michael b
