This thing goes with me to every gig. I've always loved the sound of this unit. They used to be $800 new I think?
Do you have the foot controller for this??

No foot controller or other accessories. I controlled it with a Behringer FCB1010. But you can use any MIDI foot controller you want.

Should be a super fast sale at $250 shipped.

Looks like I'll be trading jufros for his 40lb QSC RMX 1450. I'll let you know if that doesn't pan out.

Man, I actually considered picking up an rmx1450 to use in conjunction with my MB1. I'll check out that foot controller. It just seems like whenever I look for a simple foot board like that it's $100 or more. Know of anything cheaper?

Please do. I'm interested.

You can use ANY MIDI controller. Tech21 MIDI Mouse would probably be the smallest and cheapest. Rocktron Midi Exchange if you want expression pedals, though by the time you buy expressions you can buy a FCB1010.

But there's no reason to buy a big, huge controller since you really only need to send program changes to the ADA. Unless you have a desire to send CC changes for the effects, which I never have done as I don't use them. Search ebay for "midi foot controller" and you'll see a bunch of options. I chose the FCB1010 only because I have a bunch of other MIDI controlled rack gear, and it can control them all, has 2 expression pedals, yadda yadda. Lots of bang for the buck, ton of great functionality by adding a $15 UNO EPROM chip to the board.

Consider me "in line for dibs" if the previous offers don't pan out.

And it's gone.
