It would be great if next to each switch there was a small label screen that could show a programmed label or the name of the preset or effect being controlled by the switch. Anyone else feel like they're missing this?
+1 for individual LCD displays per knob.
Or, to be more clear, thats a missing feature that makes the MFC-101 unfortunately a "no-buy" for me (and go along with no midi-controller or, maybe somewhen, one from another company if FA wont do one). We're in 21st century, every highend foot controller should offer this as it makes it much more transparent for a guitarist what he is doing (and thats what a midicontroller is for, an interface between guitarist and his effectsdevice).
@Chris@AxeFxTutorials: I dont agree. Look at the Line 6 Helix floor controller. 499 EUR (thats nearby half the price of a MFC-101, including displays!!). So this is definitely possible for FAS without increasing the price too much.

If you'd ask me how a "FAS MFC-202" should look like, I'd tell them to check the helix floor controller.
I think the issue here is, FAS did (I guess) the MFC-101 in terms of "we needed to create a simple floorboard as we need to have people anything whatsoever on their floor to control their rack-Axe FX, it just has to work". my 2 cents.
Keeping fingers crossed that FAS will create a new version of their MFC-101 with more features (though I am less confident here as I think they dont focus on their midi controller).
Pretty sure that is for the HELIX only - it's an add on controller for the HELIX - so comparison is irrelevant

No, not at all. That's a bloody terrible idea!
Btw - whereabouts are you? I work in Newcastle, live in Northumberland.
- ExactlyForget about price. We all know the cost of Fractal products and the barrier to entry is not cheap. Something like this is a logical step in the progression of the MFC. Would love to see it one day.
Why is it a terrible idea?
Why is it a terrible idea? - I'm on the edge of Newcastle right next northumberland - near throckley can't believe theres another axe owner in the north east!

He was (half) joking. Sukh is making some really nice magnet (and glow in the dark) labels. Adding lcd screens on the MFC would reduce his small business quite a bit.

Yeah, except it's impossible to buy them.
Hoping to have that sorted with my next offering matey. Really sorry for any hassle you've had getting them, but it's been a struggle to keep up with demand - the labels have, thankfully, been very popular. I put a full batch (the last of the current generation) in my store at 6pm last night and they were fully sold out by 8pm. It was a very big batch!
Anyway yes, LCD screens, MFC-202, yes please.
No its not?! We are talking about features of a controller board and what the MFC-101 is missing, so there you go, look at the helix controller controls... sure LF or RJM did this long before. Doesnt make it any better that the MFC is missing that. Thats why i added a +1 for the original poster.
