    I have a Lexicon MPX R1 footswitch unit, which is probably the predecessor coming closest to the Airstep unit, combining MIDI control, an expression pedal, tap-tempo switch, relay-controlled analog loops, display, and a bunch of other features, in one LARGE externally-powered floorboard. Tremendously comprehensive and flexible unit....for 20 years ago. The Airstep has clearly leapfrogged it, in terms of flexibility, rechargeable battery and blue-tooth capability. Being smaller is also quite handy.

    They need to add an additional option to have a connection hub kind of device that's designed to sit in your amp rack or by your PC/Interface rig. It seems a bit silly to have to use the full featured footswitch to do this when I have no intention of actually using it as a footswitch and need an additional lite wireless pedal to do that.

  • @atongtong3423
    @atongtong3423 6 місяців тому

    Great video and very detailed explanation as always. Learned a lot from watching your channel 🤘🏼 im just curious and wondering about this pedal and have seen your video about it. Im just wondering if you can help me out? Seeing that the airstep and 2 extra TRS footswitch jack that can be physically connected to the amp. I have a ENGL Fireball which need 2 set of Z4 footswitch to control its channel and volume boost and another for its FX loop and mid boost. Im wondering if the airstep would be able to control the amp switches? The z4 footswitch is a tank and having two of them is a bit problematic with space😅

    I have no idea what I am doing wrong. All I wanted was the for the Airstep to let me pick between presets in Guitar Rig 7 on the fly for playing live (at home) but it doesn't work. Can't 'learn midi' or even control abelton. Using a PC and the Airstep shows up in MidiBerry.
