You know, this thing must be bigger than
it looks on their website, here is a pic from the log, looks much
larger…. http://guitar-systems.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2007/09/first_series_3.jpg Andy From: William Walker
[mailto:billwalker@baymoon.com] Hey that gas pedal does look pretty cool, the lay out looks
a bit awkward, though, with several narrowly spaced rows of buttons.
I’d be worried I would continually false trigger presets., by
inadvertently stepping on front row switches while reaching for a switch on the
back row. Looks a bit like a Digital Music Corp Ground Control Pro, only cuter.
I bet you could control a Fucking Fucker amp with one of those! Actually
though it took me a while to figure out how to program (not nearly as long as
my first attempts to decipher the FCB1010) I really love the Gordius little
Giant. Its more compact and more ruggedly built than the FCB1010, and you
can use any make of expression pedal to go with it. At first a had to
justify the expense as it is pricey, but it is really well built and the
switches or very smooth and the architecture is as deep as the ocean. I look at
it this way, why trust the operation of several thousand dollars worth of
audio, computer, and looping gear to a$135 pedal that you cannot get parts for?
I’m on my fourth behringer FCB1010 in the last 10+years, add them all up
and I spent more combined than on the one Gordius little Giant I recently
bought. Not only that, , Xavier, the guy who builds them, actually
listens to feedback from clients. Andy Butler alerted him to the fact that the
Gordius was producing more latency than Andy’s dedicated EDP pedal, so
Xavier got busy and reduced the latency specs dramatically. Try asking
Behringer or Yamaha for that matter to improve their midi latency. I’d be
curious to see how much the Gas pedal costs, it sure looks expensive, but more
and more I believe you can’t really drink champagne on a beer budget |
