I am about to begin my life as Mac user and a Mac musician using Logic Pro.
I've got a couple a good M-audio keyboard controllers but I do play guitar as well and will be needing a solid and easy to use usb or midi foot controller for Guitar Amp Pro.
I'll want to do the usual, change banks and patches, bring effects in and out (on or off) and be able to use volume type pedals for wah - wah and modulations.
Any one out there have any experience or suggestions.
Thank you,
BAMM

Amplitube or NI Guitar Rig are very nice for control over effects. Then again, I just heard of a 1/4" unbalanced to USB guitar cord that plugs right into your computer so you really can't go wrong there. If either of your M-audio interfaces has a HI-Z input you probably don't even need any kind of interface if you don't mind patching in your effects later by hand (it's the cheap way to go if nothing else). If you don't have any kind of HI-Z input & you still have some way to get signal into your computer via FW or USB then you could just use a DI box (varies in price but generally cheap).

The ART Ultrafoot X-15 has all you asked for and can be found cheap on secondhand market.

So do you think the Behringer FC 1010 ( less expencive as well) and / or the Roland FC-200 (most pricy because it's Roland, I gather) would work in the same mannor ?

Thanks, I'll give it a go

Can't remember exactly the details but in terms of sturdiness and flexibility of use, the ART came first when i did some comparaisons (the Yamaha MFC10 seems also to be a very good footcontroller but with only one pedal and at a higher price).
The two only downside I see : 1) plastic of buttons is said to hedge in when old, but I still have to experience it myself because I bought a first gen X-15 and got no troubles so far. 2) external PSU, though I may mod it as one guy did i.e. using the available below space to defenitively fix a power supply there.
Programming this unit can look confusing at first sight (mainly because the manual does not make things that clear) but if you sum up each step one after the other you'll find it straightforward.
Again when I compaired (and this included the Behringer and the Roland) i was looking for a device that would be (in order of precedence) :
1) affordable
2) really flexible in use
3) better with 2 expression pedals
4) sturdy

The ART also feature a bypass mode where you can use a switch to change modes on any guitar/bass amps, pretty neat.
