Re: Behringer FCB1010



Hi Ed,

The Stealth Pedal connects directly to your computer with USB and
draws its power from that as well. I was a little surprised when I set
up at Y2K9 to realize that I only needed one power outlet for my
laptop, everything else got its power via USB, or ran as software.
Life with VSTs and USB devices has sure changed things. Definitely
simplifies your setup.

Looks like the pedal itself runs for $200, not that much more than the 
FCB1010.

It's a small, minimal but flexible setup if that appeals to you. Let
me know if you get one, I'm happy to share what I've learned.
