Behringer FCB1010 MIDI Footcontroller  

As the title suggests, I installed another eprom called the Vamprom Bass by Eureka Sounds. I read most of the review and decided this was the midi pedal I would get seeing I already had the Behringer Bass Vamp. The FCB1010 worked out of the box with the Bass Vamp. I did some research online and I say several people on bass forums talking about the Vamprom, so I picked up one from www.eurekasounds.com This new eprom I installed makes the FCB1010 worth a lot more that i payed on musiciansfriends. If you want to only use the Fcb1010 with one device live the 11rack from Avid, or the Vamp, go with the vamprom or the 11prom. If not stick with the factory eprom or purchase a UNO prom. Great purchase I recommend this device.

I use the FCB1010 to control my AdrenaLinn 3.  Since the AdrenaLinn 3 only has two switches on the face of it, you really need an external pedal to control it. When I first got the FCB1010,  I really struggled with the software interface to program it.  I never was able to really get what I wanted.  But luckily, I found the AdrenaPROM by EurekaSound! (www.eurekasound.com) which is custom made for the FCB1010 & A3. Now I couldn't be happier.  Effect Mode with state feedback, Preset Mode, Drum mode, Wah, Volume - it offers full control.

I purchased the Behringer FCB1010 because I needed to upgrade my recording arsenal. I'm a solo recording guitarist, and I record everything directly onto my PC thru a Line 6 Toneport audio-interface. When I was first starting out, I had a few pedals, but since I've moved into the realm of digital amp modeling, I hardly ever use them anymore. The only thing is, it's hard to record certain songs without the use of an expression pedal to control a wah-wah or pitch-shifter. Sure, there's plenty of ways to automate it in your DAW on your PC, but it's not quite the same. I also missed being able to turn on/off effects hands-free, but I really liked the way my computer-based amps and effects sounded. So I decided to find a MIDI pedal that would be able to control my amp sim and my DAW. Searching around on the internet, this seemed like the best choice for me. I really didn't want to pay more than a couple hundred for a pedal, and this seemed to have everything that I needed. 2 expression pedals and 10 footswitches (all of them programmable). I read that it was really hard to learn, but I figured I could handle it. When I first got the pedal, I was really frustrated trying to get it programmed correctly. That is, until I took someone's advice and looked up a video on youtube. The way you program the pedal is really hard to figure out on your own, but once you have someone show you, it's really not that hard and it actually makes sense. Now I use this for casual guitar playing at my PC to control my Line 6 Gearbox amp sim, as well as controlling and automating parameters in my DAW. It's really cool being able to hit the record, stop and play buttons with my feet! If you find yourself in the predicament that I was in, do yourself a favor and get this pedal. Once you figure it out, you'll find that it's really helpful!

OK so I read all the reviews on here before I purchased it. I went to the Yahoo FCB1010 group and read alot about it. Seems those patient enough to learn how to use it love it, and those who can't figure it out curse it. I love it..WOW...I am glad I bought it, I got a nice "like new" used one for a nice discounted price : ) And it was really just like new, they forgot the power cord but quickly got one out to me! bottom line buy it and LEARN to use it you'll love it. I even used it to Phrase select on a Boss RC20XL not much you can't do with it!!!

I'm using the Behringer FCB1010 with the Behringer V-Ampire LX1200H Head. When I first got it, I was confused and it took me a few hours. Finally, somebody smakced me on the head and I usd my head and actually got it working. This thing is absolutely magnificent as a controller. The wah is terrible, and I don't really like the volume either. I fully disabled the wah because it is crap, but I kept EXPRESSION B on as an overall volume control to simply mute my amp when I have to switch guitar. Good to get if you wanna use it as a controller.
