1976fenderhead Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) I'm looking for something to control a software looper (so need 4 buttons) and wah (so need expression pedal). I would consider them separate but would rather all in one. The Line 6 FBV Express seems the ideal form factor, but it doesn't have MIDI connectors... can I plug it to the MIDI connectors on my audio interface somehow?

Dood Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 The Line 6 board i am afraid is a proprietry communication system and thus no MIDI - I'd recommend picking up a Boss FC-50, otherwise known as a Roland GFC-50 off eBay. You can connect a cheap expression pedal to it. They are discontinued, so cheap but practically bomb proof too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Rolls used to do one that was quite popular before so many effects units had their own MIDI foot controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr M Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Bit of an off-the-wall suggestions, but what about the Zoom B9.1ut? GAK are still selling them for £99, multiple switches, expression pedal, and MIDI in / out. I'm not too clued up on MIDI, but the manual seems to suggest it will do what you want: http://www.zoom.co.jp/products/b91ut/downloads/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1976fenderhead Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) Hmm not too fond of going the Zoom way. I think I might end up going for the [url="http://www.roland.com/products/en/FC-300/images/top_L.jpg"]Roland FC-300[/url] then, since it seems there's isn't anything much smaller in 1 package... (if I find one used and cheap that is) Edited March 2, 2013 by 1976fenderhead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commando Jack Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 These pedals seem to come in only one size - big. I remember having a look a while ago for the purposes of some harebrained scheme but I didn't find anything suitable. Alternatives to the roland are the Behringer FCB1010 and Yamaha MFC10. I think Yamaha might do other models but I don't know if any are smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
