Hey Papa!

Just something I want to float out there... I personally never need to use the master, loop, mute, or midcut switches on my FS7HE. Mid cut is always enabled for me. Master is always 1. Loop I don't use, mute I use my tuner.

Is there any mileage in doing a smaller (and lower priced?) controller that only offers channel 1+2+3??

I could get a midi controller I suppose, but there aren't any that only offer 3 switches on the market.

How about the Peak MIDI Controller?

Has 4 Presets and 2 bank switches, but I guess it would already save you a lot of real estate.

WOW! You legend. I knew they had bigger ones, but I didn't know they had one this small. That actually could definitely do the trick!

EDIT: Predictably, not easy to get ahold of here in the UK. Boooo.

How about these guys? They do many different flavors, with varying numbers of footswitches

If you don't need to do any complicated switching there is always the MIDI Mouse: http://www.tech21nyc.com/products/effec ... mouse.html

I thought about that, but I don't really want to scroll. If those switches could be 1/2/3, that'd be fine. Disaster Area stuff is just a tad too expensive for my taste, especially with shipping to the UK.

I literally just need to go channel 1, 2, or 3. Nothing fancy here!

I use the 4 button Peak controller and it works flawlessly. Very compact, too!

If you are little bit handy, you could try this:

I haven't built that particular device but other effect kits from that company and I can recommend it!
According to the description, it should do the trick.

Uwe also has an already assembled b-stock you might want to consider, unless you already got something else ;-)

Too small, and requires scrolling. Three dedicated switches is just much simpler. I *think* I've got a solution though. Either the Peak controller with 4 switches, or a DIY midi controller using one of these:

I've got one already, but have never used it. So I've got a box incoming, will let you know how I get on!
