Tom, it sounds like your closest competition is the Peavey PC-1600x, but I
don't know how these 2 units compare as far as features, etc. They sound
similar.  Some of the folks on this list have PC-1600s, maybe they could
comment on this. I think the street price for the Peavey is around $300.
Being primarily a guitarist, and since the Digitech PMC-10 is getting
impossibly hard to find (if anyone knows where one is, let me know), I am
attracted to the feature of putting some of the controls on the floor, that
is why I asked about the foot pedals. I don't know whether the Peavey can
do this or not. I hope this is helpful.
