"Could be a lot more with better software"

Permitting the assignment of the 5 switches to any MIDI controller would have been a small thing in software, but they skipped it. Lazy. The result, however, is that only devices that respond to the fixed CC numbers Digitech picked can be controlled. Dumb. Lazy. Otherwise pretty nice unit, lightweight, fairly sturdy. If weight isn't an issue, check out the Behringer FCB unit...they really thought that one through. But it weighs 5 times as much!

About This Product!
Description
Docs
The Control 8 from DigiTech is a user-friendly MIDI foot controller with enhanced features over its predecessor, the Control 7. Still no programming necessary here. Just plug in, connect a MIDI cable and go.

The 7-foot switches can access any MIDI program on any MIDI channel. A built-in expression pedal can be assigned to any MIDI CC number for real time control of parameters.

Foot Switch Toggle CC mode changes the 5 program switches to send CC 0 and CC 127 messages on different CC numbers to parameters. Very useful for toggling between 2 mapped parameter values or for toggling the On/Off parameters of effects in multi effects boxes and creating a stomp box mode that guitarists will find indisposable.

As are all DigiTech foot controllers, the Control 8 is housed in a rugged metal chassis and is much more compact and easy to transport from gig to gig than those other monstrous controllers available on the market.

Features
The Control 8 MIDI Foot Controller is for the musician needing key performance features at a budget-conscious price.

Works with all standard MIDI devices capable of receiving Program Change and/or CC messages

5 footswitches that can be assigned to transmit Program Changes or CC Toggles (CC21-CC25)

Built-in Expression Pedal

Large bright flourescent display for super visibility
