FCB1010 : Like a lone champion

Since it's the only (much) cheaper choice for a midi foot controller after the Roland FC-300, any budget oriented user will end up with this. It is fully programmable, fairly easy to do so if you have a basic MIDI knowledge. It is not extremelly versatile on the command choices, but a more advanced user can work around this. It is also light and low profile, plus the integrated power supply is very convenient. The quality of the pedals is not exactly top-notch, you have to stomp firmly to be sure you got it on, and you know it won't take many years of this. The expression pedals are pretty accurate, but at absolutely no point should you put your whole weight on them, as you could do on an all-metal construction.

Overall, you can put it to very good use, especially for this price, but it certainly can't take any abuse.
