Behringer FOOT CONTROLLER FCV100 Ultra-Flexible Dual-Mode Foot Pedal for Volume and Modulation Control, Black

This pedal is built well and feels solid. It works well and is quiet, it takes 5 milliamps of current...that is very, very little...basically what it takes to power a small LED I suspect controls volume on the inside. Behring is usually a love/hate relationship...often great prices, some very good quality, some very low, some little quirks... This unit comes with a volume pedals to set the minimum volume when the pedal is all the way back...it has a knob and a shaft made of plastic, not nylon or aluminum, but cheap plastic...it took my foot about 2 days to move off of the pedal and break this pot shaft off flush with it's collar. No big deal. You set this once and probably will never want to adjust it or bump it again.. I was able to take my finger and move this shaft even with it broken off flush with the collar and set it...so, it is probably best that it broke off...but this is some of the cheap little details that are some times goofy about this company. Here is another. This pedal has a unique angle of sweep for your foot...it is like driving a farm truck with a weird gas pedal or something...you do get use to it and it does work provided your foot/ankle have a good range of motion, but it is definitely different than any other companies pedal sweep angle. The price is very good for what you get, I plan to get 2 more and would recommend this overall. UPDATE: Have been using this 4 times per week for ten months on the Florida beach and it is working out very well with no problems at all. I am here to get another on for a 2nd back up pedal board I am assembling.

I use this pedal at church to fade in/out ambient pad loops played from my iPad to help with transitions, etc. The pedal is pretty solid and sturdy and can control two separate mono signals simultaneously. I have used one input for the pad loops and the other for click track. I use a cable with 3.5 mm stereo headphone male that terminates in two 1/4" mono male ends. I plug the 3.5mm into the headphone out and the 1/4" into the pedal. This kind of implementation has been tremendously useful in helping the praise band fill-out the sound as well as transitioning discreetly between songs and elements of the worship service. If you start hearing a distorted signal, replace the battery. As of yet, I have not used this pedal as an expression pedal. The sweep is very smooth (though, it may seem a bit fast.) Only cons: 1) getting into the battery compartment is a little cumbersome 2) does not take a standard 9v power source [requires 12v?] and 3) the tilt range to engage/disengage the pedal may be a bit uncomfortable for some [I have not personally had problems with this.]

I got this pedal recently. All in all, it's a pretty nice device, expecially for the price. Seems solid and well-made. It has a nice big pedal for big feet. It works smoothly. I have found no drawbacks to the operation or quality of this pedal. My only gripe, is that the power for the pedal is either by an internal 9V battery, or a 12V plug in power supply. Why the difference? The really bad part (for me) is that I bought this to install in a newly-purchased Behringer pedal board, which comes with a 9V power supply. So, in order for me to use this pedal in the board, I will have to run two different power supplies, or run the pedal on battery and everything else off of the pedalboard's power supply. [Behringer...this was not thought out very well.] I'm now in the process of making myself an voltage adapter, but finding all the right parts has proven so far to be a hassle. Bottom line: the pedal itself is great, but the power supply thing could be a frustration to you.One final note about Behringer...they seem to get bad marks now and then. I really don't understand why. I have two Behringer amps, two of their stomp boxes, the above-mentioned pedal board, and the volume pedal just discussed. I really like all of them. I have never had any problem with any of these items. They perform well, are well made, and certainly, all came at a reasonable price. Behringer's full range of products is so extensive, that I see little reason to buy any other brand. I'm sticking with them.

Initially I was impressed with the construction of this pedal. It seems rather well built for the price.... thats where the positivity ends. I plugged it into my power supply and it didn't work so I switched to a 9 volt. I took the cover off, attached the battery and spent the next five minutes trying to put the cover back on correctly. The battery cover is a prime example of piss poor engineering IMHO. I plugged it into my rig and when I played I could not believe what I heard.... utter CRAP! Tinny, shrill, thin and above all NOISE NOISE NOISE! I guess there are some things you cannot go cheap on... I've learned my lesson here!

I bought this not to use as a volume pedal but to use as a mod/efx control for my Zoom G3 guitar effects pedal. It works great after I figured it out. Made of thick plastic and rubber. Even though it's plastic it is very sturdy. I'm going to be very clear on this even though someone mentioned it in a review before this one. WHEN USING THIS TO CONTROL A MULTI EFFECTS PEDAL LIKE A ZOOM OR PANDORA OR DIGITECH YOU MUST USE A STEREO CABLE. What that means for any noobs out there is this. When you look at your instrument cable tip you need to see TWO black lines(stereo) not one(mono). Use this cable to go from output 2 on the Behringer into your multi effects pedal (foot control) input. The switch on your Behringer needs to be set to CV mode. No one made this very clear. Not even the manual. So I almost chucked this thing after an hour of no luck. Setting it up this way the pedal is exactly what I wanted. Works perfect. I do not use it as a volume pedal. Using it as just a mod/efx control does not require power. If you use it as a volume pedal you will need power. Thanks to the reviewer above for mentioning all of this. I hope this helps some people.

Let me be clear - this product got three stars from me because of the price.This pedal works fine as an expression pedal. If you put it in your effect loop, be aware that it will sound terrible. I simply plug it into the expression jack on my zoom 505 multi effect pedal and it gives me more functionality out of that pedal.Quality - the quality of this pedal is POOR. however, it is also the least expensive piece of crud i could find, so i knew what i was getting. When i took the bottom cover off of the pedal to install a battery, one of the 9V battery connection wires tore off. I had to solder it back in place (but if you dont know how to solder, you would have had to send it back). Then, I could not figure out how the mechanism was supposed to attach the bottom of the pedal back in place AND I HAVE A MASTERS DEGREE IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. Basically that mechanism is a terrible design. after some zip tie magic, the pedal works as expected.

This is a pretty handy little volume pedal, but do not expect it to perform like the big boys. I bought it to use with my lap steel. It does produce the effect I want, but the pedal does not seem as responsive as I would like. For the money this is a good product. It does not seem cheaply made, and is a good start if you want to fool with these types of pedals.

This is a very competitively priced stereo volume / mono volume+synth CV controller pedal.It is made mostly of plastics (so are most gunstocks, anymore), but is "chunky" enough too stay put on the floor in use.Works fine here-- smooth & noise-free on pedal steel.It can be run on battery or external power-- when external power is applied, the battery is automatically disconnected, so it does not discharge, if you leave everything plugged in. Only con on this is the battery compartment is a little funny to get at.For the price, I think it is excellent for home studio and occasional gigging use.

Avevo già letto le recensioni positive sul prodotto, ciò nonostante sono rimasto comunque impressionato per la fattura di questo pedale che nulla ha da invidiare a prodotti più blasonati. Per chi non ha letto le caratteristiche tecniche sul sito Behringer, il pedale funziona sia come volume stereo (indipendente) sia come pedale di espressione + volume mono. Chiaramente può essere usato anche solo come pedale di espressione.Ottimo prodotto. A volergli trovare un piccolo difetto avrei preferito un movimento meno morbido, ma potrebbe essere una questione di gusti.

For home use, I do not see the point of paying loads more. Strongly built and straightforward to use. Not difficult to put battery in (as has been said in some reviews). Excellent value for money.

This item is very well built, it does the job it's made for. For the price I do recommend it.

Es un buen pedal, lo utilizo para volumen, cumple su función, solo debes de cuidar que el eliminador de corriente sea el adecuado para que no tenga ninguna falla.

Funktioniert gut
