Foot Pedal Guitar

[Mac, Windows] We will use the XK-3 foot Pedal to control our song set. We can scroll thru our songs up or down start a song and when the song ends stop it before the next song starts to play. When I received my XK-3 Media Player Foot Pedal I hooked it up to my laptop and my laptop was connected to my Bose L1 II rehearsed that evening and the XK-3 worked like a champ, the true test will be using it in a live concert.The quality of the XK-3 Media Player Foot Pedal seems to be very good. It has some weight to it looks like it should hold up but time will tell.

[Yes] I use this from guitar to amp, from mic to voice and to couple foot pedals and Guitar computer.

[6.0' (1.8 m)] Awesome action on this foot pedal. Like the piano style foot pedal.

[200 Ws] I use this to power a guitar pedal rather than changing out batteries. Works perfect, no complaints.

[9 VDC, 50 mA] I got the last one in stock (time to reorder, B&H!) and I can see why... the Mel9 pedal adds a completely new vibe to any electric guitar setup. It's very dynamic and responsive, only slightly losing track with very soft notes. Send the dry out to one amp, and the effect out to another (or the sound board) and your sound palette gets very big very quickly. Like everyone else probably did, I immediately dialed in the flute sound and learned Strawberry Fields Forever, but it doesn't stop there. Strings, cello, orchestra and choir sounds are super-fun and very authentic - even down to the warbly tape sound. One thing I'm considering is putting an EQ pedal on Mel9 as its sounds can be a little harsh in the midrange. Dial that back, add some reverb, set the attack and decay at about 1 o'clock, and you have a string pad like keyboard players have always enjoyed - at a fraction of the cost of MIDI guitar synth. Play around with pickup settings too, as the effect sound definitely responds differently to neck vs. bridge pickups. Playing speed is also a factor... most of the sounds take a little time to bloom, so staccato, rapid picking probably won't let the sounds fully develop. But for adding a huge layer and vintage texture to your sound, the Mel9 is where it's at. I can't wait to try it on bass guitar too. This one will be used a lot.

[Black] Use item to connect guitar amp pedal controller. Good length to free up on stage movement.
