Perfect match to the Cyber Twin. All metal construction, pretty tough. Weak link: the power connector to foot controller, step on it once and you'll be fixing it. Manual could be better.

I modified my FC, I put the transformer inside and now a heavy duty AC power line comes out of the foot controller. Don't try unless you have the tools and ac power knowledge (grounding).

A common misconception by many people: foot controller is "programmable", well it isn't very programmable - you have to program the the Cyber Twin because that is where the MIDI Map is, not the foot controller. Same goes the foot pedal, it can be programmed to control a variety of effects, but that programming is on the Cyber Twin. And one last thing, make sure your Cyber Twin MIDI receive channel is OMNI (or 1).

Check out the PC editor, it might prove to be useful to you, programming the MIDI Map and assigning the controller pedal is not the easiest thing to do on the Cyber Twin.

The MIDI pedals are great - they span the full range of the Cyber Twin, much better than any analog foot controller.

ciao,
johnny.

Heavy as a tank but just about as tough. Only problem I've had is the little rubber feet on the bottom coming off when it gets slid around onstage. Bandmates have a tendency to push things on the floor around with their feet and that tears the rubber feet off the Cyber-Controller.

Also, as Johnny said, be careful of not only the power connection on the back of the pedal but the MIDI connection as well. If you step on the cables close to the connectors with cables plugged into them, it could break the connectors.

Other than that, it works flawlessly out-of-the-box with the Cyber-Twin.
