Hello, I'm currently trying to figure out which midi foot controller would work best for me.

Current rig
Custom Gibson ---> Digitech dt whammy --->MXR noiseclamp, Keeley compressor, VFE Focus, EP Booster (these 4 always on)
Mesa roadster programmed by mini amp gizmo with ISP Decimator and Pod Hd Pro in the loop

I want to run my amp gizmo and pod through midi. Ideally having 3 different sounds for each channel and being able to have IA for per patch basis. When I change patches for song specific patches I want to be able to control my digitech dt whammy via midi for alternative tunings. I also intend to add an expression pedal.

Which means i need
12 presets, 4 Instant access, a tuner, patch up and down buttons totaling 19 buttons.
Connecting midi for mini amp gizmo, digi dt and pod
Expression pedal

I've looked at a few various ones, the rocktron raider seems nice but I'd prefer to have a few extra buttons on there. I've been looking at custom audio electronics but it's a bit more than I would like to spend. In a budgetless world I'd go for a LF+ PRO+ but again out of my price range as of now.

What alternatives would you recommend for my needs and why? Thanks for any advice
 
Check out Joyo PXL live. It's super cheap but may have all the features you need. I just picked one up last week & it is glorious
 
Thanks for the idea, though isn't that a looper rather than a midi foot controller?
 
See if you can find one of the old, old Bradshaw/Rocktron RSB18 pedals that´s been modded for MIDI out. They normally sell with a rack unit that carries the MIDI out, but from time to time you see the modded pedals for sale separately. Cheap these days, with a lot of functionality.
 
For the presets you don't need 12 buttons do you?

you can have for instance 3 banks of four buttons so something like the GCP or Midi Raider should work fine..
 
I recommend the Ground Control Pro, not sure if that meets all your requirements. I see them used for $300 or less

I have 3 of these (not for sale) and I had a local tech make me an adapter box to go from Bradshaw's weird 6 pin XLR out to a MIDI jack with a power supply for the RSB18F built in.
