Greetings. I'm from Maracaibo Venezuela.
Here it cost to get quality products and especially technical support.
First of all I apologize for my English that perhaps is not the most good.
I've been thinking about buying a Mustang Floor pedal by Amazon or Ebay, because its cost seems reasonable portion of benefits that provides.
I have consulted in European forums and some forum members have it and raving about it.
I have a computer MacBook 5.2, 2Gb RAM which an economic usb interface has given me good results with amplitube and Guitar Rig, even to use live connecting it to a Peavey amp that I have.
My other pedal is a digitech RP90 and have come to mix. My current amp is a Peavey Studio Pro 112 which has effects loop and the best results I have modulation effects obtained by connecting the mac in the effects loop.
Now the query. Just as I decided on the Mustang Floor pedal:

1. - The Sound interface allows the software used in mentioning
2. - I've read that your midi interface if permitted for certain controls
3. - I could use both controllers at once?? (MIDI and SOUND)
4. - That's the explanation ...
5.- Your's can recommend a Fender Dealer in Venezuela I copper in U.S. dollars and not in Bolivares since making the conversion to unauthorized changes by the government product cost would be very high, or my only solution is to buy in USA.
6.- What other products should I buy for the functions described above for optimum performance? Midi Cable, USB cable, etc.

The pedal not buy in Venezuela due to its high cost to change the dollars, so it is preferable to buy in USA.
It is possible that the questions did not used up as I have said the mustang floor has some wonderful sounds and preseth so you may use it as a pedal only.

ADDITIONAL NOTE: My studies in computing are intermediate to advanced, but using midi technology very low. Just experiencing.

Thanks for letting me ask

Hi Javier,

I did not understand all the questions but for those I did understand here's some info:

-you should be able to use the MFloor in two ways:

-connect your guitar to the MF and from the MF unbalanced output, go to the FXloop return on your amp. In this way you could use the effects and amp emulations on the MFloor

-connect your guitar to your amp instrument input, and the MF in the amp effects loop (fx-send to instrument input on the MFloor, and MF Unbalanced output to fx-return) in this way you use your Peavey pre-amp (if you like it) and use the effects on the MFloor (overdrive, compressor, flanger, etc)


-the midi controller on the MFloor could be used in two ways, one more useful than the other IMO

-you can use the MFloor as a midi controller: each button and the pedal, when pressed produce Midi control changes and program changes, that your computer software can use do to whatever you configure it to do. For example, I use a looper software on my PC and I use one of the buttons on the MFloor to control the looper operation (start/stop/overdub). Probably guitar rig could use it too for switching things on and off.

-you can send commands from your DAW software to the MFloor to do preset changes. I'm not sure how useful this might be.



-You can use your MFloor as a USB audio capture interface. Just keep in mind the USB interface is unidirectional, you can capture from MFloor to the computer but you can not playback audio through the USB port from computer to MFloor. To do that last par you can use a cable from speaker-out on your pc to the aux-in in the Mfloor.

Thanks
By your same answer I have read in various forums about it and that's what convinced me to buy this pedal.
The main question and explicastes me a little.
The pedal I can use it as a sound interface, but has no outlet for what I use the computer output.
1. - There is delay or retardment in the signal? if you connect for example my amp?
2. - And I can use this interface to midi controller simultaneously?

By your responses I see that if.

I need to buy some additional accessory that brings the package mustang floor pedal?

Thanks Jedi and the Force be with you
:D

The mustang floor accepts auxiliary inputs, but via a 1/8 jack interface (like the one use for headphones), but in any case, given that you need an external amplifier anyway, it could be better to connect the audio output from PC to the external amp directly.

There's no delay added by the mustang floor itself, neither if you connect it to your amp. If you use the MFloor as a USB audio input interface, actually is the computer that normally adds the delay (which makes many users to run away from computer based rigs, as in my case)

Unless your computer has a midi interface (round big and ugly) you are going to need a MIDI to USB converter. Any will work similar to this one:

You can use the midi features of the MFloor at the same time you use it for amp modelling

Muchas Gracias jedi2b
I think my previous doubts are clarified.
I touched wait next week to buy the team and reach Venezuela.
I did not expect so fast and clear answers in this forum, really surprised and grateful stay.
I hope not to bother much when it begins to play with the Mustang Floor.

Hopefully your sound is as good as its functionality and meets my expect

En verdad muchas gracias y a la orden en Venezuela
