Haha, well, i used to have a Pedaltrain Terra42 with two H9s, two of the big strymon pedals, 2 fuzz face minis, a timmy, wah, volume, Mark V remote, and about 7 or 8 other drive, chorus, and delay pedals. I HAD to reference which lights were on lol!! I miss that thing; but holy hell was it unruly and including my Mark V and OS recto cab, I needed a LOT of real estate for my rig.Kind of like when you're playing on-stage with a classic pedal-board. You do not rely on watching the pedal LED to know if it is engaged or not (if the stage light is red you won't even see it) but you normally know which effects you have turned on or off at each time.
I have been gigging with the FCB1010 for many years, controlling the Ax-FX Standard, the Axe-FX Ultra, and and the Axe-FX II. Before the Axe-FX it was controlling a refrigerator with multiple rack units.
I realize that this is a very old post, but... Do you happen to have information on how to program the fcb 1010 with the stock chip? Is a specific usb-midi cable required? An editor? Tables of the III's midi commands that I need to get the 1010 to send?I've been using my FCB1010 with stock prom ever since I got my III. Works fine. I use buttons 1-8 for scenes 1-8. Then the two expression pedals for volume, etc... I have button 9 set to mute the output block. Button 10 for tap tempo. The same layout works for every preset. If you want to select presets with the 1010, what I would do just program bank 01 to handle your presets. It's easier to do if you re-order the presets you use on the axe fx to slots 1-10 or something. Then the work flow is, bank up on the 1010, press button 1-10 to select preset 1-10. Then bank down back to 00, and now you have your scene layout again. If you want preset 5, bank up, press 5, bank down, then you again have the same scene layout. If you have more than 10 presets, you can then program those to bank 02, and so on. Once you understand how to program it, it's pretty easy.
I can't help with the stock chip part, but there are no "tables" of midi.I realize that this is a very old post, but...

I would be forever grateful for any tips... Thanks in advance
