This review is mixed for a few reasons. The most important is that the quality of the unit is excellently rugged, and Blackstar's support has been tremendous. Yet, I've had issues struggling to implement custom MIDI to my live/studio needs - more of a drawback of my limited experience in the complicated/unintuitive MIDI standard. Another issue is that I ordered this piece in April, but it took 4 months to receive the order, after a nightmare lack of response from Bajaao response for months. In the end, the order was received and the process was a positive one, but it wasn't the smoothest order of my 25-year Internet career! The unit is well worth considering for a versatile, affordable, durable midi footswitch controller - just put in the time to customise it the way you want/ need.
