Exactly what I needed

Works great with BIAS FX on iPad. Just had to purchase a small adapter to plug both the iRig HD 2 interface and this midi controller to my iPad and the it works like a charm. The default settings for BIAS FX works well out of the box, and you can easily assign any button to any function/pedal. Worth every penny.

Very niche use case and may not be fit for your intended purpose

I wanted to use this with ableton to switch scenes, change amps and toggle pedals and this has been near impossible to configure.

Im using a mac and i find little videos online for mac set up

im also using bias and having chatted with their support reps, they basically said i would never get it working with their products (a vital menu option isnt showing for me as it doesnt recognise the product, so i cant use it)

there seem to be a lot of rave reviews here but i would really say; if your looking for something to do any of the above and its your first time using one of these, dont get lulled into buying this one. Its cheap but its a nightmare to use.

Also, theres no resale market for it ! I tried putting it on reverb and some local buy and sell apps and no one is interested (even if listed at 50 euro).

Love it.

Good solid little midi peddle. Could use more banks though, otherwise great.

Nice MIDI Controller

Sturdy built with low noise switches. The programming possibilities leaves something to desired like for example no way to set momentary switches, BUT, you can use the firmware from another similar controller on the market to enable that and FYI, it works just fine.

Its good piece of gear when it works!

I needed a midi footswitch for some presets I had been working on and this did the job for the first 2 weeks, but now I have to re connect the device roughly 3 or 4 times to get it to even register with my daw or any plugins.

The overall build quality feels sturdy because of its metal casing and the switches work fine. Its just the actual consistency of the connection from the device to your DAW or rig can be very poor!

If you have some extra cash maybe look to spend the extra on a different foot switcher, for the simple reason that you want something alittle more consistent especially if you are a gigging muscian!

Reliable device

Built as tank and easy to set it up to work with my kemper in performance mode. Needless to say that it is possible to use with plain AAA batteries. I changed them after 4 rehearsals - at 4 hours use per rehearsal. No delays upon switching presets. Lots of options I/O

Not recommended if you need to use a Custom config live

I bought this to send CCs to Camelot Pro on a Macbook in a live setting via USB. It *sometimes* works. Almost always requires multiple re-starts because it freezes and becomes unresponsive. It's the pedal itself because it does this even with no software connected - the onboard footswitch lights don't even change and the display freezes. Others have noted similar issues so apparently it's not just me. Obviously this is unnecessary added stress in a live gig environment - looking at better alternatives now.

Great for the money

For a cheap switcher it seems good... Seems buggy sometimes though. Not super reliable

Disappointed

Needed a basic midi footswitch to toggle reverb on/off with Behringer XAir 12, this did the job but the 'bank down' foot switch failed after a few weeks :-(
