Simple MIDI controller

[TheChris]

Call me crazy... :) but does there exist a simple (cheap) MIDI controller
for guitarists that just moves patches up or down??

Years ago I saw the Digitech PDS3500 - but those are NOWHERE to be found.
And I've read recently about the 'Midi Mouse' by Tech 21 - but, $120 seems
to be excessive for that function.

I just sold my Behringer FCB1010 for $80 because it was just too huge.

So, does anybody know of a pedal that has two buttons - patch up - patch
down??

I'd build it if I could find plans.

Thanks.

Chris, a pawnshop near me has a 3-button MIDI pedal. I *THINK* it had
a button for selecting banks, then one for up and one for down. It may
be the Digitech one you mentioned - I didn't look too closely. I
didn't see the price, but I deal with these guys all the time, and
they are more than fair.

If you're interested, I can go there tomorrow, grab it (if it's still
there) and mail it to you. Send me an e-mail and we can work out the
details. Do you have anything you'd like to trade?

Hey - thanks! If it's the Digitech - I'll definitely take it... Just
get a feel for what they're asking... Trade-wise... if it's just guitar
pedals... Don't know if it's anything you'd want.

Monte Allums Boss DS-1 - really adds volume and clarity to the pedal
Ibanez CF-7 - Chorus/Flanger. Good, but it's no Small Clone :)
Zoom 510 Distortion and a Zoom 509 Modulator

let me know - I'm sure you can figure out my email above :)

Thanks again.

Hello,

I haven't found one, so I build one myself. It has only two switches
and different modes. I use it for my digitech whammy 4.
