11 Foot Controller Expression Pedal Shootout

[necjamc]

Although I am not an Eleven rack owner, I do use a line6 pod xt live as well as several other pedals. I hope quality for an expression pedal is the highest priority. I have ruined many boss and other pedals at 80 bucks a pop cause they can't take your weight during the sweep if you have to use your other foot during the sweep. Also try a pitch bender ( ala whammy) with a bad one. They have be rugged and always consistent

Just my 12 cents from a future owner :)

Also I had to laugh as I thought that this thread was about an 11 ft controller. I thought rather big lol

Now that would be a large pedal indeed!

Hah!

An 11' controller. Doh!

Nigel will surely futz this up and make it 11"

I don't like floor controllers with 2 expression pedals, let alone more. They're just too big.

My vote is for a maximum of one integrated expression pedal, no more that 2U high and max. 19" wide (the sizer of my traditional pedalboard).

That's the size of the StealthBoard (if and when that ever sees the light of day).

I take my 11 rack to a gig in 4U a flight case. I want a floor controller that will fit in the spare 2U of that case below my 11 rack, so my rig fits into one box!

It appears that IK have thought about that with the stealthboard, so unless Avid or anyone else gets there first with the features and the dimensions I'm waiting for that.

There's a lot of excitement at Avid about Eleven Rack right now, and it's largely because of the ATG DUC. Your comments are being read by the bigwigs too!

I wish you would, I would love to hear what your solution would be ... but, I understand why you can't though. Maybe you could hit one of us up for a PM and we could pass the idea off as one of own own .

ATG - Anti-Thymocyte Globulin. I guess your TLA differs from mine . Oh and hello bigwigs .

You know the origin of the phrase "Big Wig" is rather fascinating (at least to me) Its amazing how these phrases stick around, even though the practice of wearing wigs as signs of stature (for the most part) is long gone.

Carry on.

All I really need would be Volume and Wah. As long as the rest of the board is reasonably compact build in two for me. If you make each pedal treadle look like a "one" two will look like an 11. If theres only going to be one pedal than it damn well better look like some gaint chrome plated Cal Custom Gas pedal out a 76 Baha Bug.

The way my hair is going the idea of wearing a wig is mighty appealing . I would like one like Vinnie Moore's hairstyle in the late 80's - I think that would classify as a 'big wig" .

Sorry completely OT - I just can't help myself .
