Hi @steevc, big thanks! I can really recommend the fcb 1010. The one you see on the image is with me now for about 8yrs, and did see some harsh conditions (and is still working without any issues). Specially the price is is unbeatable. Even with the UnO upgrade, it's less than half the price of comparable controllers (below 200$ with the UnO upgrade, including the UnO Software editor with license. If you use a free editor, it's about additional 30$ off. That's the UnO website). Due to reason that behringer didn't have the best reputation on longevity back in the days, i even bought a second one (it was a bargain offered by a friend). The switches they use on the board are the same like Roland's, meaning they are really durable. The best thing is that it got two additional manual switches, if you want to control an amp (channel or fx).
Stay safe, and cheers!
