FCB1010 : Good for the price

I bought this to control my Axe FX II and also hopped it would make a good controller for ableton.

For the price its a decent midi controller, I really liked the feel of the expression pedals. However, for me the functionality was limited and I installed the uno chip which makes this a much better pedal. Lack of USB and editor support is a big downside as the thing is not easy to program, but again the UNO chip can help you out there.

I also had to open it up to adjust the position of the led which is used as a sensor for the exp pedals but once I'd fixed it they worked great.

The build quality is actually pretty good for something in this price range and it has lasted many a good stomp.

If you need a floor-based controller and you're on a budget you won't get more functionality than this for the price.
