Hi Luis,

Yes, I have also been monitoring these nice products. The Little  
Giant, on your linked picture, has the perfect dimensions for me. But  
unfortunately I have to say that the lack of expression pedal support  
is a show stopper for me.

The Little Giant Module supports expression pedals, though. But this  
module seems to be targeted as an "add-on" to a Behringer FCB1010  
pedal. It's just that most musicians don't have a problem with the  
FCB not having enough functions but simply with the FCB being too  
big. Too bad this company did not research the market properly. Great  
products except for that.

However, eventually you may be able to run the Little Giant Module as  
an extension to their own Little Giant, something I can't find out by  
the web site? The closest is this hint: "Obviously, this module can  
serve equally well with other foot controllers". If those two can be  
run in tandem it might provide expression pedals with the Little  
Giant. I'd like such a set-up ;-)

Did anyone find information on the wight of these boards? A big deal  
when shopping stuff like this is to keep your performance rig in the  
cabin luggage when traveling by air (you can play a gig without your  
extra shirts and shampoo, if checked in luggage gets delayed).
