There are many things to love about this unit. First off, it is designed and integrates perfectly for control of my Mooger Foogers and my Slim Phatty. I have hands free control of every essential parameter and the setup was very easy. Coupled with the ability to save "presets," you can now actually have presets stored for your mooger foogers. That is truly something right there. It also has the ability to convert midi to CV output which means you can sequence your analog gear from say Ableton Live or other computer based programs.
On top of that, I highly doubt you will find a better constructed foot pedal with half of the options that this beast has. The foot pedal is very smooth but also provides enough resistance so you have very accurate control over the parameter you are changing. And finally, another huge aspect is that this pedal doubles as a control pedal for my computer software (or other midi gear) via the USB plug. This is truly a dream machine. It is fairly large and heavy, but in relation to how many operations can be done from this one pedal, it takes up very very little space. In fact, I only need sustain pedals and this to operate all of my midi/computer based equipment (foot control wise). What is there not to like? If there is something, I have not found it. I paid less than the $499 in all honesty, but I get a discount for reasons I can't specify. However, this unit is worth every penny if not more than what it will cost the average consumer. This unit doesn't generate sound but the build and quality are top notch. I have used a slew of midi control foot pedals including Behringer FCB, Rolls Midi Buddy, Line 6 stuff, etc.... and they all severely pale in comparison. I would definitely buy this again. I heard recently that they won't be making these much longer so I might pick up another just in case.
