Anyone Use the Ability Foot Controller?

Any testimonials, satisfied or disgruntled customers? It's supposed to be for Live. I was thinking of getting one. Looks nice and compact.

my girl has one and i'm getting one soon.
it is well built and has some nice features

one of the things i like about it is that it has 4 extra inputs for expression pedals.

yeah the price is a little steep for me. i guess the small size is pretty nice, but FCB1010's can be had for about $100.

Yeah, it is a bit more expensive than some, but that actually didn't deter me that much. The cool thing is that it can send CCs on two MIDI channels simultaneously. Plus I currently use the FCB1010, and I never use the expression pedals and would like something a LOT more compact.
