I just received my new cyber-champ guitar amplifier yesterday, looked online to discover the ONLY fender midi footswitch is $250 :eek:

Anyone know if there's a cheaper solution? The amp doesn't have the 1/4" adapter switch option, only midi :(.

Stilll looking (in no hurry as I'm not going to be gigging anytime soon anyways, but I WILL need one eventually...).

Someone at a local vintage music shop suggested getting a generic midi controller pedal and possibly programming it. The fender manual does give the midi values for the various functions...
 
I have a friend with a Fender cybertwin and he uses it with the Behringer midi footboard controller FCB1010

Thanks for the lead, I'll look into this :)
 
This will work :).

Cost me $129 out the door at Guitar center. The foot controller needs some configuration, but even default it controlled some of the fender's switches.

I was, however, hoping to save time and frustration (I know very little about midi and don't really care to learn enough to manually program these two).

Does anyone have a saved sysex dump of their fcb1010, set to be used on a Fender cyber amp? :)
 
Back one last time.

That Behringer has worked VERY well and I have also purchased a usb-->midi adapter so I can program the pedal board from my PC :). I have performed a successful programming of a tuner toggle switch, so I know with 100% certainty this works!

Thanks for the suggestion. :)

Oh, and FYI there's a GREAT yahoo group for this board that has a lot of the information needed to configure this properly.
 
You're welcome.

Problem I ended up having with the Fender Cyber Champ involved a split second delay when switching through pre-programmed tones. I ended up taking a loss on the amp and traded it in for a Line 6 Spider II, which switches internal effects/tone banks flawlessly. It's also an easier and equally beefy sounding amp. Fender's costs $150 more; for what reason I can't figure out. Been using the Line 6 amp since a few weeks after my prior post in this thread, when I got tired of the problem.

The earlier pods and a few of Line 6's smaller amps (i believe) had this same problem. How the heck can amp makers overlook something like that? The glitch in the pod is more than enough to be annoying.
