Ive had esxperiences with the Digitech PMC10,Rocktron all access, ground control and Behringer FCB1010,The dream come tue foot controller would be the PMC10 if they would reissue it with a more stable software,other than that the Behringer is without a doubt the best one to control the EDP,and ive never had any issues with it.But i agree that the manual is oce again written in chinese!
