BOSS MD-2

I gotta tell ya, the FCB1010 has proved to be a pretty solid MIDI floorboard... I wasn't expecting much when I decided to go with a cheap MIDI controller, but damn do I like mine. I don't even think it was ahrder to program than something pricier. At least not for my application where its commanding a bunch of disparate MIDI gear on different MIDI channels with different CC and program changes coming across different channels. That would be hard and time consuming to set up with any footboard. After a year I can say the behringer is reliable. I know you asked me about that Terry and Ic an now tell you I think its built like a tank and once it is programmed for your needs the internal CPU that controls the MIDI logic just NEVER CRASHES or GLITCHES. NEVER

Sweet. Now, when I see them for sale, there is an upgrade chip.. a uno I think? is this a must have or just a thing?

I think mine's not upgraded. its fine for my uses. I don't know what the upgrade is for.... why don't you google it? maybe it makes them more plug n play with certain multii FX rack gea? I dunno what they could improve on the thing, it does the job.

My life is googling shit. Sometimes I want to... outjack? lowjack? jackoff... no .. not that one. You know.. go off the grid. Maybe next year...

But good to know the standard version works... I am not a Gotta buy something to upgrade it kinda guy. if it does what it does, that is fine by me.

I mean, I don't know what your application would be? you have mostly traditional stomps on a traditional board.... I think you need an all-in-one programmable looper to organize your effects chain for easy switching

was primarily for using with NI Guitar rig. to give a bit of switchability so I can record complete tracks and have the effects be changeable, rather than 9 piece parts... that gets old, but it beats dragging all the gear out and micing amps etc.

guitar rig might be something that the upgrade would streamline.... I don't know a lot about real time software guitar modelling programs like that.... I have some amp and effect plugins but I mostly use them for mixing way down the line, not in real time and seldom on guitar

you guys need to eat less than twice a day, sleep on the floor (2+ band members to a bedroom), own only 2 pairs of boxers and 2 or 3 pairs of fucked up, holey socks.... just pay your dues like the rest of us did. Stop whining. I've been homeless sleeping on aprk benches.

Alternatively, find a job as a barista for now. Get money, get free coffee, stay awake and jittery and practise.

Lose your job, become immune to caffeine, and use your funds wisely.

Get nitro cold brew. Copious amounts should make you hate yourself enough to practise guitar all day.

my gear collection really started in earnest when I was 16 and worked at starbucks

Oh shit, did I ever tell you about how I got enough money to pay for all the shit I have?

Okay, story time. Last year when I was a slight bit more irresponsible then now, I got a job at a massive camping store. Essentially, I sold stuff at the flagship location. Unfortunately, the company was sold to a new one a few years prior and, following my employment, the company started to go under. Everyone was quitting, but I stayed until the end. I was working long hours every day and racking in so much money.

Then I spent it all on guitars and pedals and Jim's Vox amp and other shit. The company is dead.

its your vox now, I have a bunch of my own still, don't worry

ha. narcist, thats a good story.

its your vox now, I have a bunch of my own still, don't worry

Eh, it still feels really weird. Like, with the Martin, I'm so happy to have it, but it almost feels unreal that I actually own it. It's mine. Same with the Vox, you know?

if I squint and think way back I kinda remember that feeling
