ADA MP* Users...

What are you using live to change "channels"?

I bought a NOS ADA 4x4 but the input jack has come disconnected from the PCB. It needs repair, but I'm considering other options. Thanks.

You can get a good midi pedal cheap.
Dirt cheap is like a Rolls Midi Buddy, or ART X-15 Ultrafoot.
There are a ton of different options for you.
Rocktron, Rockman, Digitech, Mesa Boogie, all make MIDI controllers you can use.

Do a search for "MIDI Footswitch" on the bay...

I no longer use an ADA, but I did for several years. I went through several midi pedals, before settiling on the Rockman. IMO, it is by far the best. You can find them on the bay for about $100. Steel construction and large rectangular buttons make it durable and easy to use.

I had an ADA MC-1 and it was more frustrating then anything. The buttons are hard to see on stage, my foot would always hit the wrong button and I'd get clean for a Mr. Crowley solo.

I finally said enough and bought a Rolls MIDI Buddy. Survived drops, beer spills and overall abuse and works great. Only downfall is no CC ability But I use an Expression pedal for that. Does the job for me.

If the 4x4 has the same buttons as the MC-1 I'd say avoid it.

Hahaha!

I think the buttons are the same. The ADA pedals just don't seem very tough, so I haven't been in a hurry to fix it.



Interesting. I like the expression pedal idea, though.

I use a Boss/Roland FC-200 to control the TriAxis/G-Major rig I use live - built like a tank, ugly as sin, does absolutely everything including stroll up to the bar and buy you drinks between sets.......

hmm,.. must be boss/roland thing... so does my FC-50 !! Unfortunately it's too small to get beer,.. It gets lemonade all the time.

The FCB is cool, has two pedals already on it. But man that thing is big
