Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars

Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I've owned mine for over two years now and I still use it as the central MIDI controller for my guitar rig (w/ two amps/processors) as well as controlling my light setup through a MIDI:DMX converter. I'd replace it if they made the improvements suggeted in the "Feature" section
Sound
There is no sound but it does make expressing the sound potential in MIDI gear very well.
Features
Its very versatile which is its most useful feature. Its lack of a CC controller input specifically for Tap tempo (or other on/off functions) that can map to multiple devices is pain.
Ease of Use
Fairly easy to use once you get the hang of programming it.
Quality
Very well made. The footswitches are solid and easy to find and hit.
Value
Since there is nothing else that I could find that does what this does, its value is high.
Manufacturer Support

The Wow Factor
