foot control

I think its a really bad idea to have asked the users how the foot control is manufactured

there will always be different opinions
ck your way to the factory and we will take it as is

if not in 10 years there will always be trying to wait

I don't really get the point in making this non-configurable.
Who needs 4 LEDs for a button, personally I don't care - a bicolor LED with a solution as in the MFC would be totally fine for me - if I don't know which FX I put into which Slot then LEDs don't really help?

But for the vote: I'd prefer rigs in the button row.

Salut Loulou,

Well for sure there will never be a consensus on the pedal board but lots of good ideas have been discussed here. Now I am in agreement that if CK want to release the product by year end we will have to conclude thus the importance of schneidas stats

Totally agree! No need for 4 LED to show stomp, rather have the opportunity to switch witch row FX/Rig shut be in. that way it will suit all´s need, and every ones happy.

Quoted from "ckemper"

Also the four LEDs per effect button will be a problem then.

You could use Full Color RGB LEDs for both rows and everything is fine.

Quoted from "ckemper"

Unique:
Up to two effects will be displayed by a color LED and On-LED. By these lights you can see if the two effects go on simultaneously or will be swapped.

CK

The above quoted description of CK's vision for the functioning of the four FX-button leds (if implemented) is not possible with just one led per button even if multicoloured. Just something to keep in mind while discussing the leds.

Foot Controller

FX switches on the bottom row please. Presets above that.
I'll use one amp & switch fx in & out when required (as I'm sure most people will).
Tap tempo also essential & at least one expression pedal would be handy.
If you have a quick changeover at gigs then you're moving one board on & off as opposed to trailing an attached expression behind you. If no expression pedal on the foot controller then you're building a board up adding unnecessary weight & size. This makes it worse for flyaway gigs.

since it didn't get much attention, i'll just post this again, sorry:

Quoted from "kilihahn"

guys, honestly: i don't think this is actually about presets vs fx. i surely could manage to hit first and second row equally well.
i've never heard someone complain that preset 1-5 are in better reach than 6-10 on other well spread floorboards ...

the only exeption maybe tap-tempo which, on a common sense base, should be located at the bottom right.

so for me this is about a footcontroller that is a bit larger, or a footcontroller that is a bit smaller. still: same functionality.

since i want it small, i want fx at the bottom to grant a logical and streamlined layout with exactly no space wasted.

if you want rigs on the bottom, you'll have a 6 switch design with some space "wasted", so if you don't mind hauling around an additional bag for your floor-gear, actually both versions should work equally well. (i still prefer 5 switch-layout for the reason that presets and bank build a more logical block, but this really is just a detail...)

all in all i just want to keep it as small and simple as it gets.

i'll add this: if it's gonna be rigs at the bottom, i could live with tap in the second row, just to stick to the more compact design... or just 4 rigs + tap... i don't care - keep it small...!!!
