similar deal here. The code in the e-mail is valid for 30 days. If you don't buy it whithin that period, you can e-mail them when you're ready to buy an they'll send you a new code. No need to ask for an extension.

That's cool They said to him though, that if he missed this shipment and there wasn't another before he was ready, that they would have one kept with his name on it from this one.

So then based on wait times, if I wanted one for Sept/Oct, I should put in somewhere about June/July? Does that sound right? Still finishing off paying my 2 guitar builds heh

 

[Seanthesheep]

Thats for canada

 

[flint757]

By July I imagine it will be significantly easier to get one.

Anyone else use the Behringer FCB1010? I ordered one from the store I work at so I'm excited to try it out. I've heard awesome things considering the price.

About 2-3 months for me.

I got a used GCPro for $175.

Never thought about looking at the used market. Thanks fellas, I might try and grab a GCX or something for cheap. I still have to get separate expression pedals but at least it would be a more permanent footswitching unit.

Behringer FCB 1010 +1

I do, it works just fine. The board itself and the switches feel nice and solid, but the expression pedals are a little flimsy feeling. It's surviving gigs though!

I have the UNO firmware chip on the way as well, so I can use the top row of switches like stompboxes, should make it even better.

If you're not doing much patch changing, I used a rocktron midi xchange, was the cheapest I could get and never had a problem with it

GCX is a physical switching unit, it goes in a rack and turns loops or switches on and off.

You'll have some trouble finding a ground control if you search GCX

I got on the wait list early in February and waited like 2.5 months. It's def worth the wait. Considering I waited for a whole year for something that never came out, a couple months flew by

 

[noUser01]

Yeah I know, but in stores up here if you want EITHER product you have to ask for a GCX, so I've just taken to calling the whole system that, heh.

tech 21 midi mouse also?

 

[Wookieslayer]

tech 21 midi mouse also?

Simplest and cheapest lol. I just picked one up myself.

 

[right_to_rage]

2-3 months for me too, came up yesterday. Might have to post pone too, which is also an option once you get the ticket.

I have nothing but great things to say about my FCB1010 - Ive used it both to do all the switching on my Axe Standard, and used it with a custom cable that I made for my Peavey JSX and 5150. Its really flexible in terms of what kind of rig you want to use it with!
