So I know this is the top recommendation around here. I get that. And forgive me as I had some trouble searching. I'm looking for ideally a cheaper pedal, although I know the FCB is a great value. At minimum what I'd like is a 4 button for presets with an up/down to cycle banks.

Midi Moose is a good option but is just as expensive as the FCB. I saw others such as the Randall 4 button but that lacks the up/down so as far as I understand is limited to one bank.

Is there anything that has 4 plus up/down at a cheaper price point than the FCB (eBay is fine)? Or do I need to just choose the Behringer?

Working on that, should be available (for me) soon. I developed this small midi foot controller for Eleven Rack with "special features" smile
[img]http://flic.kr/p/MSv5s5[/img]

Basically it's switching banks up/down of 4 rigs where all my banks are defined like this:
1- Clean
2- Crunch
3- Lead
4- Wah (auto-enabled when you start using it)

Tap tempo on the current preset
Mute/Tuner on the current preset for 2 seconds

It has 4 modes:
1- Normal mode (bank up/down for all banks)
2- Output lock (bank up/down for banks of specific defined output, like FOH, Combo, Bass Amp, etc..)
3- Bank lock (stays on current bank: bank down=Distortion on/off, bank up=Modulation on/off)
4- Channel lock (stays on current rig: bank down=Distortion on/off, bank up=Modulation on/off, clean=Tap Tempo/Mute(Tuner), crunch=Delay on/off, lead=Reverb on/off)

So it can be used as a regular midi foot controller, as a 3 channel amp with distortion/modulation pedals or as a 1 channel amp with distortion/modulation/delay/reverb pedals.

It is phantom powered with special breakout box, the size of a double effect pedal and weights around one lbs, so fits in guitar case/gig bag.

i picked up a used Philip Rees MM5 recently and it works great with the 11r.
Has cc control, 4 button plus bank button, small footprint. The led window has the ability to input names/titles
Ahead of its time,not made anymore but built like a tank, set up an ebay search worldwide. Its worth getting one when they turn up . $50-$100
