ive owned 2 FCB1010 is about 7 years,the first one started acting weird and button 1 ceased to work,the second one started acting funny and was thinking about getting rid of it, but then i heard about the UnO chip,as soon as i replaced it all the problems were gone and ive been more than happy with it ever since. As big as it is i just love its construction,and the price for what it does is excellent,the UnO chip is also a freebee at 16.-eur. its really reliable,no more issues with weird messages,the switches are my favorite,big and noise free and you cant miss them even if u had too many pints:-) I would say kudos to Xavier more than to Behringer!
