Foot Controller

Do you think Kemper plans on making a midi foot controller? If so, how far away do you think they are? I know this is all speculation but Im curious. I have the FCB 1010, but its so cumbersome. I was looking at the softstep or the Ground Control which are smaller but then I would have to get to additional pedals for volume and wah which would take up as much or more space than the FCB 1010. What are you guys using? Im wondering if I should hold off and see if Kemper comes out with something.

Id love to get the little giant, but I just cant swing that kinda money. But thats the perfect size. The Peavey Vyper foot controller looks interesting but I dont know if that can even be programmed to work with other units. The Rocktron Midi Raider looks nice too.

Visitors at NAMM have been told that the FC is planned to be out this year. I'm looking at the new Rocktron as well, very nice. Concerning the FC from Peavey, if you mean the Sanpera....how should I phrase it... it sucks BIG time :thumbdown:

, probably the worse FC ever seen, even an old ART is better. The exp. pedals are completely useless.... IMHO...

I just got the Ground Control Pro while I wait for the Kemper foot controller. It's easy to program and works well. It's not small though.

I set up a MidiMate from Rocktron for use with my Kemper. Worked great. Small footprint too.

I use my pod hd500 until the kemper-controller is out. works great, and could be used as backup live if something would happen to the KPA

Ok I think Im leaning towards the Rocktron. Does anyone know if this pedal will control both volume and wah? www.americanmusical.com/Item--i-PIT-EXP-LIST

Ok I just ordered Rocktron Midi Raider as well as their hex volume/wah pedal and 7 to 5pin powered midi cable. I will report back and let everyone know if its easy to set up and use.

KPA has no power on midi, need to use the power adapter

Yea I know. The midi cable has an ac adaptor that the plug that comes with the Midi Raider plugs into so I can plug it in by the Kemper instead of running extension cord across the stage.
